Subject: A question to all AL haters.

No point to it, when you think about it.

You're retarded.

You didn't answer the question.


You survive a Plasma Grenade the same way you survive every other means of damage.

You avoid it.


Plasma grenades can be avoided when they are stuck to your face. Now I know.

I don't like the plasma nade in Reach. In Halo 3 it worked like a magnet and that's why I liked it. I throw a plasma at someone in Reach and it goes under their arm.

That too.


So then... why did you ask the initial question?

Because the lag isn't the main reason.


It's the fact that you blow. That's the main reason.
Stop sucking, and you won't die from plasmas. Pretty -blam!- simple.

First off,
I could just as easily say
"Armor Lockers can be killed when they go into Armor Lock and are invincible. Now I know.

Secondly, don't get stuck in the first place. Stop blaming the game for your lack of hand eye coordination.

Bit hard if you're playing elite slayer.

Plasma Grenades? Overpowered? Pfft. Naaaaahhh.

No really. No one uses plasma grenades. In Reach, it's only frag grenukes. Those may be a little overpowered but not enough to need a gamebreaking AA just to counter them.


OK SERIOUSLY how are the Frags nukes? I've throw them at the very FEET of people who have 1/3 shields, and they don't die. You guys act like they kill everything in a 10 mile radius, then they can barely kill at all!

OT: I don't hate Armor Lock, but I don't love it either.

Then, you weren´t playing Reach.

You clearly can't throw grenades.

1. It's slow as hell. Easy to dodge most of the time.
2. No, it can't.
3. No, it can't.
4. So does the plasma pistol. Is that overpowered too?
5. Chances are, either you're playing an Elite gametype or playing Invasion. In the case of the former, you have them too. In the case of the latter, you'll have them too eventually.

And btw, you're not SUPPOSED to counter rockets. You're supposed to get them BEFORE your enemy, like any competent Halo player would at least attempt.

  • 12.11.2011 10:29 AM PDT

If you can read this, that means I'm not a Shaolin monk...

yet.

What's the point of pick-ups if you can counter them with the press of a button?

  • 12.11.2011 10:34 AM PDT

Plasma Grenade: Don't get stuck.
Rocket: Run like hell.

I personally think AL should have been made so that it only lasts a second. That way it still serves its intended purpose as a counter to splatters and explosions, but wouldn't be a cheap "hold LB to survive" thing.

Hail to the Victors! Reppin' that MAIZE n BLUE!!!
Perfect Grenade
Chill bro. Gotta get my bowl.

Rockets and stickies have been a part of Halo since day one...

Invincibility in a FPS shooter is ridiculous.. rockets are a power weapon, if you don't like getting killed by them then you have to either grab them yourself or control that area of the map. You have to move around the map to grab stickies as well, they've been a part of the game since the beginning, i wouldnt consider them overpowered.. having the ability to just *shrug* off another player actually gaining map control/grabbing good weapons is.. well... no words.

That plasma grenade wasn't overpowered in Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, or ODST. Why is it suddenly overpowered in Reach?


Haven't you played reach?
Elites spawn with them.

Then stop playing invasion and voting for Elite slayer.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Riddle me this OP;

Why do you get an invincibility button? If you walk into my line of sight and I have timed a power weapon then you should be dead. where's my reward when you block the Rocket?

Nope, CE had the most balanced grenades. They were nukes, but the fuse was long enough that the observant could avoid the blast on anything that wasn't placed perfectly.

How do you survive a plasma G?

Plasma granade.
1.Can be sticked to you.
2.Can bounce of walls.
3.Can destroy anything.
4.Has very short spawn time.
5.Is awibale for elites from start.

Well this is what i call overpowered.

But rilly? How would you counter most overpowered weapon in the game?
And AL is only defense against rockets.
Preparing for flames.
All users who will be unpolite will just be ignored.


plasmas have not gotten stronger as the halo series has progressed. had your argument involved frag grenades, perhaps you would have had a valid point but then one could argue that you could just decrease the blast radius and increase fuse length and the grenade was no longer overpowered.

as far as AL being a counter to rockets- thats just ridiculous. The whole point of rockets being on the map is to promote map control and weapon control. By creating AL, the usefulness of the rockets, as well as many other one hit weapons with the exception of the sniper are decreased because you can see the bullet or sword slash coming.

AL was completely overpowered when it was introduced. Had it come with a "breaking" point where the user could be forced out because of heavy damage then i feel there would be a lot less hatred towards it. As it stands, AL does not do this and as a result, remains overpowered.
