Subject: Do you use "cheap" tactics?

Posted by: aBlueBookshelf
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?

I do all the time.

I camo snipe in BTB.

I evade shotgun constantly in Team Objective.

I spawntrap in Flag Zealot.

I jetpack all the time in Slayer.

I spawntrap in Invasion, even when there's only one person left.

I spawnkill in Grifball.

I use the noob combo.

And I'm having more fun doing that than using lolvideogamehonor.

Anyone who claims the AR takes skill ought to shoot himself in the head. Preferably with the AR because they'll most likely miss with any other weapon.

I do all of the above and more.

Mad, Reach forum?

your welcome for the inspiration, lol.

I don't necessarily go out of my way to exploit them; however, I'll do what's necessary to win because I hate it when that streak of blue bars on my service record is interrupted.

With that said, some of these exploits are just plain stupid, like the Jetpack ledge on Asylum. I'm very disappointed that Asylum is still in the game given that there are at least 3 remakes better than it out there.

That cuts deep. I take the complete opposite approach (most of the time).

Do you HTO because of the anonymity and the assurance you can get away with it? If so, then would you say a person's true personality lies in an environment where you can do whatever you want (and get away with it) or in another environment where you constantly have to take responsibility for your actions and are being judged by society?

Reach is all about cheap tactics.

There's no such thing as a "cheap" tactic. There are only "tactics".

exactly. for every tactic, there is a counter.

I always camo-snipe in BTB, but I have got 2 rampages, 2 perfections, and 4 Be The Bullets that way. Call it "nooby" when you can find an "honorable' tactic that gets that many kills.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

I do use "cheap" tactics when necessary, however as I strongly dislike some of them (mostly AA abuse, particularly camo and Jetpack) I make an effort to stay out of playlists where such cheesing is prevalent or necessary to compete.

But stuff like the noob combo, shooting people who have just respawned etc aren't cheap, they're just part of the core gameplay.

Call me Stu

YES! now everbody is mad. You forgot using any armour ability is a cheap tactic.

I use needler for cheap double kills.

I wait for an enemies shields to pop so I can get the kill.

I use the noob combo whenever possible.

I always, and I mean always, use evade or sprint with sword. And I stay near corners with it.

You can't really compare the two games, they are completely different styles of games and both have different styles of multiplayer. It also depends on the playlist you are playing in cause some are a bit more unbalanced than others. Personally I think cod is more unbalanced because a higher rank could have a much better gun and there is the noob tube.

OP: The only thing I do is jetpack in slayer but I don't think that is too nooby considering you are putting yourself out in the open. I think armor lock is way noobier than that.

You should do more research before posting. You are describing Infinite award's COD. You can't noobtube in Black ops or WAW, the weapons are also balanced in Black ops in WAW the MP40 is overused but not unbalanced.
