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

Hey guys. I'm a good player. So I will only use sprint. This armor lock stuff when a noob is camping around the corner? FORGET ABOUT IT! I'd rather die and lose my spree than use armor lock!

Actually, I just don't pick Armour Lock because I have a functioning brain.

AL is only useful as a crutch for people who don't want to think about positioning, power weapon control, or really any element of tactical gameplay. It's good for avoiding deaths that you otherwise deserved. That's about it. Sprint is much more useful overall for a non-retarded playstyle.

The issue is that bad players should not be given crutches to preserve themselves from their own mistakes.

and from my hours upon hours spent on the 343 forums it is pretty clear that anyone who doesn't agree isn't even aware of the actual skills of Halo. Most think choosing your weapon or Loadout for the right situation is the peak of Halos skill, and this is laughable by anyone who is ACTUALLY skilled at the game.






I hear this a lot from TU fans. How many of the other load outs have any of you "mastered" other than sprint? I think the people with skill who use these load outs would take offense to that and that fact is that mostly all TU supporters use sprint. Do you want them to take that away? Did that take more skill to learn than it took to master the other load outs?
A good player doesn't need to 'Master any sort of AA, good players use sprint because they just simply do not like the gimmicks that come along with the other AA's. That doesn't make them bad with it, it just means that choose not to use it.

I mastered:
Armor Lock- Press X to not die.
Hologram- Press X to send a copy of myself running forward.
Drop shield- Hold X and crouch with a Shotgun inside.
Evade- Same as Sprint, but in any direction.
Camo- Press X and crouch with a Shotgun in a corner.
Jetpack- Fly outside the maps, into exploit spots, over other players' heads whilst spamming explosives.

There really isn't much to any AA.

I especially love jetpack, there is nothing like getting a perfection sniping on HemoRage red wall.
What about flying outside Enclosed, or getting red team on Arena Relfection?

This is the kind of idiotic post I was talking about when I was explaining why I call some users retards.

This shows at least three different ways that you have no idea what you are talking about.

I was really only humoring the last post on the last page, so calm down before your butt doctor gives some meds for your butt frustration.

As expected when you have no way to explain how you could post something so dumb.

I just did explain. It was directed to Zarth111's dumb post, not all those people who only use sprint just to use it.

There is a really big line between insulting and flaming people and just being dumb. This line is not blurry.


You are on the dumb side.

The problem is that post didn't look funny and definitely doesn't do whatever you expected it to.

It just looks stupid.

It did something better! Make you get mad and feel the urge to tell me off.

If you want to make me mad you will have to try a little harder.

I tell people off all day. That is my default setting. The only thing you managed is to get my to post a response. This would be very much different if I had any emotional investment in this thread.

I don't know about Enclosed, but I only encounter Enclosed in doubles, and people don't know how to play on there in doubles.


Reflection has a nice hiding spot is your referring to the slopes in the glass ceiling around the pillars, but there is a better one with one of the pillars around shotgun spawn.

I was referring to how red team can get Rockets, fly up to balcony, blow up blue, and get Sniper, too.

Wow, the TU flash mob strikes again. I'm starting to think you guys sit around and wait for someone to have an opposing view then PM each other for the attack. Get a life.

I'll say it again. The reason you think think TU is better is because you have a narrow view of the game. You'll never believe this but Halo Reach was more than a first person shooter before TU. That is for the past year. The way it was designed by Bungie and meant to be played when we purchased it.

Increasing the firing rate to DMR does not make the game more competitive in any way. TU supporters logic= Gee this is like MLG now, MLG has leagues and tournaments, they are my heroes therefore the game is more competitive.

The game is less competitive. It take less skill to melee, less skill for the sword guy to kill you, which is a shame, less skill for someone to pick up a DMR (always TU supporters primary) and spam the blam out of anyone.

TU sucks and people are starting to realize that so you will begin to see more posts like this.

P.S. just like a TU troll to point out OP K.D. or any other dumb point like that. You don't want him to have a right to be upset. The game is now completely different from the one we purchased. Anyone who has been playing it has a right to any opinion.

What you're essentially saying is that TU magically improved everybody's aim, and makes melee spam that much more prevalent (not taking into account variable shield strengths between opponents). Also, the whole bit about the sword -- really? As always, great advice from the all knowing colonel.

The only changes I would endorse are complete removal of bloom, one grenade starts across the board, tweaked pistol damage so that it's a 5-shot with bleed-through, movement and jump height tweaks (higher jump, faster movement), and lower melee damage. TU is an improvement, but many would believe the changes I've listed here would crack open this games' full potential.

Reached sucked before the TU and sucks after the TU. It isn't nearly as fun.

Last member of the i4Ni clan.

@SpAmMeR, the pistol is already nerfed. The range sucks, even with TU you have to spam to get kills at 15 feet away or you get AR/melee'd.

I love the feel of Reach gametypes before the TU otherwise I can't have much competitive fun
What playlists could I still play with that more classic feel


You love the feel of everyone using Armor Lock and having to wait to shoot again?

  • 02.23.2012 10:40 PM PDT

The Title Update is definitely better than vanilla. Vanilla was slowed down a little bit, and Armor Lock was way over powered.

Not many people are that great at blocking swords with melee hits either, so I don't see why it matters to most people. Hagtard, I'll give him that he's good at it.

As it stands, I fully support the TU. Anyone complaining is just not as good at the game before the TU, so they vent here. Which is the purpose of the forums, right?

It's not like chasing each other down the rabbit hole matters anyways, so I'm backing out now. Just thought I'd say--

POWER TO THE UPDATE

  • 02.25.2012 5:22 PM PDT

Vanilla is terrible and some of the ideas in Default Reach (bloom, AL, AC) are just straight up pants-on-head.
