Subject: Steal enemy sniper, jump off map.

I play in a full party, and we win most of the time. In an odd stroke of luck, the other night in Team Slayer on Asylum we were matched with another full party. Whoever was their designated sniper was wrecking us. I managed to steal their rifle upon respawn, and tried to get away, and near death, I jumped off the map with it. I also managed to do this again upon the second spawn. We ended up winning, but had I not done that I know we would have lost.

So the question is, what do you think of that? Is that underhanded? Is it legit? Or are we sore losers?

Best of random chance

Seems pretty fair to me.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Only if I know I'm gonna die.

Reminds me of Halo 3 MLG Oddball on Guardian.

lolwut?

Getting their own sniper away from them was a good strategy. I would've done the same thing if I was about to die. I usually get out of there alive though so I get a ton of free ammo.

Since Im ok witht the sniper I just pick it up and use it. If Im about to die on the other teams side of the map I might,very rarely, waste the ammo in it. Dont throw it off the edge though

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

Understatement of the year.

It's the same as jumping off with rockets, only do it when there no chance of survival and you are certain the enemy team would pick it up upon your death

Yes, death was certain. They saw me making a break for their sniper's area, and I by the time I grabbed it my shields were down. So I sprinted and jumped off the back of top sniper. Red side.

If I didn't use it I'd have dropped it for my 'mate who is better with it than I.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

Sometimes I grab all the power weapons and get into a Scorpion, then drive off a cliff.

It's hilarious.

That's fine, they should be a bitter quicker in getting the sniper, and it's a good tactic to stop the enemy team getting a game-changer.

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.

It's fine. Clever actually.

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

I do that a lot with rockets when playing Uncaged, only when I'm about to die though.

especially with the rockets. because if the other team gets them, they're probably going to get as many kills as there are shells left.

OP was smart, I'd of done the same thing and have done the same thing on Countdown where the sword will usually transform just about any noob into he-man.

Want a cool clan? Join FRAG!

Want a war sim? The best war sim in Halo, Forerunner Conflict.

It was a good strategy. Better no one have it than them, right?

  • 01.23.2012 4:02 PM PDT

No point to it, when you think about it.

Pfft, if they weren't able to get the sniper from you before you killed yourself, that's their problem.
