Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

I threw his sword off the map. Problem solved. Play fair or go home.




You have an immature, biased, and irrational definition of fair. It isn't cheating to camp just because you don't like it and get fed up with it. If camping were anywhere near correlated with being against the way a game plays, there would be disciplinary actions towards it implemented in games years ago.

There is no rule that boots me from a game for not taking a footstep every 5 seconds no matter how much it makes butthurt kids rage. It is a strategy no matter how "satiric" or "whimsical" you make it out to be. It is how the weapons are designed to be used: in tight areas and around corners, not running directly at people in the open (I pity you if thats how you think the weapons work: even the simplest of players can understand the conditions that CQC weapons meet).

So keep getting booted because you have a backwards definition of how the game should be played because you let your personal emotions and frustrations cloud your view towards what factors contribute to gameplay and how. It will be great to see another "hero" get banned from matchmaking.

ROFLMAO! You're telling me you raged at another player because his style of play was different than yours? You're whining because he was attempting to help the team the best way he knew how, using the tools provided by the designers? Then you betrayed him for a -1 to your team causing him to boot you (righteously) and put the team down a man?

You're not a racist, a Communist, or anything else that's been tossed out...

You're an effing hypocritical whiny-ass wuss

OP i will save you from an assassination and then give the opponent the kill by betraying you with a shotty. i call it the reverse-showstopper.

Your resident explosives and heavy ordinance expert, at your service.

I don't begrudge people for camping. I consider it a refreshing change of pace, a challenge to overcome. After a long while of fighting people on open ground, seeing who is faster and more accurate, I meet a player who has fortified his position. Now I must change my strategy on the fly in an attempt to overcome him.Will I win, or will he? what is better, to be fast and fluid like a reed in the wind or to stand like a stone pillar and try to resist whatever is thrown at you? That's the fun of it!

  • 10.29.2011 8:07 PM PDT

Don't want camping? Play Quake, or go into the MLG playlist.

You aren't going to change anything by betraying people.

And play the way you want, but camping is for d**ks. And apparently, it's for d**ks like you.


Y'know what else is for dicks?

Betraying.

Nobody who plays FPS's seriously likes camping.

It's a video game. Why are you playing it "seriously"? Unless you're getting paid, of course. Which you're probably not.


Nope, not on campers. Campers invite whatever suffering they experience upon themselves for surrendering their -blam!- for the combination of a well-concealed corner and a CQC power weapon.

And by seriously, I meant seriously LIKE camping. Not playing FPS's seriously. Difference. I know this is text, but try and pick up on my inflections.

I just got booted for doing so, but it was worth it. I found my teammate camping twice, the second time I tked him, I threw his sword off the map. Problem solved. Play fair or go home.


"threw his sword off the map" ... lol, that taught him.
You do know that the game has this weapon respawn thing happening dont you OP.

Picture the OP ... "dang, I keep throwing this dawg gone thung away and it jus keeps on comming on back" .... lol.

Plus lets have a quick peek at the OPs weapon preferrence. Most used weapons #2=Snipe, #3=Shotgun, #4=Sword. Im guessing he does go running in open space using these weapons.

(mind you, he does have 8 deaths by traffic cone ... so??)
Traffic cone induced mental illness?!?


No I didn't know that...I'm a General Grade 3 who has played every Halo in existence and I don't know about weapon respawns...

No s**t, Sherlock. They take TIME to respawn. Time during which, the camper doesn't have anything to camp with except his double pummeling fists.

And there's no guarantee he'll get that sword again. It spawns in the middle. I could get it. A different teammate could get it. The ENEMY could get it. Weapons don't magnetize to one player, you buffoon.

And actually, I do run and gun, because I respect the game enough to do so and not give people a hard time while they're trying to play fair as well.

As a final note OP, someone's K/D is not a complete account of how well of a player they are - There are many more factors than just a big K/D to be "pro". A good player must also keep his team in mind, make sure that the team is safe at all times, and above all, NOT betray players on the same team, regardless of whether it's for a weapon or personal issues.

You show none of those qualities, as you betray players on your own team if they're not playing the way you explicitly you want them to play it. They bought the game, they'll play it the way they want to.

You're not game police, neither are you authority, so stop acting like one before you get matched against someone who is a pro, and agrees with what I had typed in this thread, to proceed to wipe your rear with the floor in a round of customs.


LOL so basically if I'm not the team nanny, I'm a bad player. K then. You keep telling yourself that.

And I betrayed one person today out of hours upon hours of play because he exhibited piss-poor sportsmanship and decided to camp in a corner pretty much doing nothing instead of helping his team. You can say I don't help my team by going for kills in objective, but if you look at my game history, I win the majority of games that I DO play. Games in which I sign out at the pre-game lobby for sake of unwanted map/gametype combo or unfair matchup shouldn't count towards one's WLP, but they do, so I have to manually estimate my winning percentage based on games that I play. Games that I leave usually end up with my team losing, proving to some extent the effectiveness of slaying in any game mode. TLDR: I'm not bad, you're just trying to scrape out a poor rebuttal to a legitimate statement/opinion, and you're failing miserably at it.

Finally, I'm not the police, but I do assert my right to condemn acts of cowardice that I deem unsuitable for my team. Considering my camping teammate wasn't exactly taking strides to lead the team by not having a mic to communicate and camping, I took up the responsibility of being the team trendsetter myself. Specifically, by way of buckshot.

Problem?

Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

My stats in Halol 4

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

You know.

I might actually start hitting people offline again just for you.

And by that, I mean I'm going to hold you blackscreen while I betray you over and over with a shotgun.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

No. We have to make Reach as bad as possible so 343i realizes how broken it is, and how it'll take 2-3 T.U.s to completely fix it.

  • 10.29.2011 8:56 PM PDT

You don't have to betray! Just use the avoid button at the end of the game!

But in Halo, I run and gun because I have the respect for the game to do so.
Running and gunning all up in that Team Objective.

So cool

First in social ranked firefight campaign competitive and ODST goose splatters.

Check out my YouTube Channel

I fly the banshee off the map on utopie at the start of the game. Its the most un-balanced map I think I have played.... I fly it to where nobody can reach it hop out and then suicide. That way it takes an extra 40 seconds for the thing to spawn.

  • 10.29.2011 10:36 PM PDT

How are you supposed to use shotgun or sword when you cant camp? Try to just run towards the enemy and you will get killed .

  • 10.29.2011 10:42 PM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

If you were better at the game it wouldn't matter.

  • 10.29.2011 10:46 PM PDT

Arby n The Chief - THER CANZ BE NLY 1

Play

Fair

I think you need to take some of your own advise.

Link 1: Team Objective kills = noob.

Link 2: I bet the betrayal was because he had your precious Sword/Shotgun.

Why waste those weapons?
Each was put into play to serve a specific purpose, to be used in a particular way. If you are going to grab any/all weapons and then just start running (Forest Gump anyone) why not leave the purpose built weapons to those that know how to use them.

Respect the game ... the developers put variety of weapons and maps into the game for a reason. If they followed your lead we would have one gun and an open/flat playing field.

ya know, everytime I do that though. like 50% of the time I get the exact same players again. usually I just finish it out and never touch the player review.

Seems to make it even more inclined to put me with the same -blam!- people, or people who no scope me while I'm jumping from 100 feet away shooting them in the face. Freaking show offs >=[

"Before you insult someone, try walking a mile in their shoes. This way, when you insult them, you are a mile away and have their shoes."

I'm against camping, but let them. Grenading them to death is way more satisfying!
