Subject: So I played a game of Rumble Pit today

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100
where a > b = d > c

Look how terrible I was.

I just couldn't function. The derpiness of it all was just overwhelming. If I had calmed the rage and focused I might have done better, but AR starts on Countdown are just too much.

I played a game of Team Slayer right after and did horribly in that too, because I was still raging.

To the good players who voluntarily go into Rumble Pit... how do you stand it? It's just so... derp.

Your opinion is invalid.

I can't play an AR start game and not get mad. It's just so stupidly frustrating.

I prefer team games over ffa games and the AR is only good for getting you assists.

Why are you playing the worst playlists?

Boltshot = mini shotgun

I occasionally go into it, like today, for that grenade challenge.
I swear, all the kids there want AR starts, Elite slayer, and slayer pro to spam the AR and their plasma grenades.

Because I cannot find a match in good playlists during offpeak hours where I live.

It's not worth it, though.

Rumble Pit isn't that bad of a playlist. It just needs more DMR start game types and less tard lock.

Hi.

I love Rumble Pit in Reach.

:3

I'd agree with this. It would need to be a pretty heavy concentration of DMR starts though. I got outvoted 7-to-1 in favour of AR Countdown -_-

Oh yes, and at one point a guy double-tapped AL to block my sword slashes and then EMP-meleed me.

Bad players have some sort of evolutionary trait that causes them to always pick AR starts on Countdown. It is needed to ensure their survival.

Countdown sucks. The poor layout with this spawn system lead to some dumb stuff.

Spawn, get shot at across the map. Go to cover and alert guy a level under you to attack.

Respawn, two people fighting in front of you. Go to kill them get grenaded by two people across the map.

That's a standard tactic for the majority of AL users in that playlist. If you do get AL'ed, don't lunge again when they come out of it. Just wait a few seconds and they will AL again out of instinct. Lunge when they come out of that one.

Hopefully you can all have some amusement at my expense.

Could have been avoided if you backed off after the first lock.

Hindsight is 20/20. I haven't had to deal with AL in this context for probably half a year or more.

  • 01.11.2012 8:23 PM PDT

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

I don't play FFA much (barely ever).

I kind of find AR starts interesting because it's so much different.

I actually got a kill with an AR against a DMR dude in BTB the other day it shocked me, lol.

AR starts don't piss me off anymore. Now that I know how to properly use the AR, I can win almost every single one of my AR vs AR duels.

But anywho, for the most part, I deal with grenade pit by not playing it.

OMG I so miss the AL double pummelers. :/

Nice clip. Glad I'm not the only one it's happened to.

I play against Overgrown Bezz and NicoleNZ all the time - here's a random game from a couple of nights ago. If you are playing really late then you will get a lot of Australians and Kiwis to play against.

Rumble Pit, like FFA in COD, is full of players with questionable talent and winning there, despite it being not that big of an achievement, makes living alone since my wife left with the kids somewhat bearable.

That's what it should have looked like. AR starts cause me to rage uncontrollably, though, and in turn I play terribly.

What I wouldn't give to play them at DMR starts on Asylum <_<

That's kind of bleak. Hope things get better for you.
