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.



Oh I know, so much rage...

I agree with Whale.

Maybe you should give SWAT a try. :-)

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

I've been playing a lot of Squad Slayer lately, and usually just dashboard when kids vote for AR starts. It happens alot with all the guests/noobs. I mean sometimes I'll stay and play if there's three AR start maps, but if there's an AR start and two DMR starts below it, then we wind up playing AR starts Countdown/Reflection ... forget it. It's not even worth my time.

Plus I'm counting on my team getting destroyed because they're a man down. I like to think it's punishment for picking dumb -blam!-.

True story, I wound up in a game of AR starts on Boardwalk a few days ago. Was raging so badly I went down to get rockets, blew up my team mate that followed me, then flew straight up to Red sniper spawn via the waterfall tunnel and blew up the other three that were fighting over the sniper. And got booted a second later, before I could blow their asses up again for being 'tards.

Just use the magnum, look for a NR or a DMR on the maps.
Love Rumble Pit, no retarded teammates in this one.

I think you've got pretty much the best way of dealing with AR starts.

They should just make an HLG playlist then you guys can hide against each other and see how much fun it is.

I love FFA, I hate AR starts. And I hate Countdown. And Sword Base, too.

The problem with FFA right now is that almost every time you get the voting option for AR starts on SB/Countdown, while it is much harder to even find a DMR start (and when you find them, they are like the second or third option, which puts AR lovers at advantage on the voting). On this 1 month account I played 100 games in Rumble Pit. 24 were on Countdown and 25 were on Sword Base. That means that 49 games, which is almost 50% of the total games, were played just on two maps, while the other 50% were played on the rest of the maps.

To answer OP's question: Overall I rage less now, probably because I surrendered and accepted the fact that this game is full of kids who love bad weapons on bad maps, but I still rage nonetheless.

YES, THIS. That's the main reason why I love FFA. I don't have to deal with retarded teammates and I don't have to carry a team.

  • 01.12.2012 4:56 AM PDT

Yay yuh!!!!!

Are you too pro to use an AR? or pick up a different weapon? Just pull the pistol out.

  • 01.12.2012 8:59 AM PDT

Fair play

You all remember FFA Arena?

I loved that playlist:

- DMR starts;
- No rockets;
- Assists counting as kills.

Yet, almost everyone hated it!?

So why the hell do you guys complain?

Most of you wanted that!

In my defense, it's pretty hard to play with Seance and not get carried :P

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?

They need to take that playlist out and replace it with no bloom, 100% DMR starts FFA.

And while we're at it, include MLG settings.

Aesthetics is an art, your body is the canvas, weights are your brush and nutrition is your paint. We all have the ability to turn a self portrait into a masterpiece

it makes you better, simple as that.

Also, it is the only ffa list available bar infection.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

It's only good when you get slayer pro.

Okay, listen, we should get our stories straight, all right? If anyone asks, and no one's gonna ask, don't worry, but if anyone asks, tell them as far as you know, the last time you checked, everyone looked pretty much alive, all right? Not dead.

My Stats And Armor

Maybe play Infection...

I prefer ARs over DMRs but I can't stand FFA gametypes, because I always seem to get those lobbies where people all team up against me.

I love Rumble Pit in Reach.

:3
i dont understand why ppl contiously charge blindly at ppl when they have an ar then melee after. there already in optimal position to finish the person off. why charge? wait a fraction of a second. no armor lock. then charge.

all armor lockers use the damn thing either as soon as they get hit or when there shields drop. pretty black and white there.

@Sentox6, The fastest way to be good in Free For All Slayer is to learn where the carbine(1), and DMR's(2) places are on every map(power weapon times doesn't hurt either). Most people on Halo: Reach don't take the time to do this because they don't have time, or are lazy. This is what seperates the "Random Randys(3)" compared to MLG(4). It only takes a few minutes, so if you have time give it a try.
Use setups that work for you. Again just go into forge, and strategize. This will keep you from wondering around so much, and wasting your own time. Remember Halo games are not related to SWAT or Team Snipers. Don't just run in thinking you will win. I like to call this self destruction.
This relating to my next tip. Keep calm at all times, and t-bagging might be fun, but your mind is not very calm when doing this. Calming your mind might seem obvious, but most of the time no one is calm in the game. Except maybe that guy with twenty-five kills and no deaths.
Knowing your weapons, use setups, and calm your mind. These are my tips to you to be better at Free For All Slayer. After you master these tips you will be able to get first place in no time.

Carbine(1): Also known as the Needle Rifle.
DMR(2): Designated Marksmen Rifle.
Random Randy(3): A sufficiently awkward or random person.
MLG(4): Major League Gaming
