spiral out

Its when you have low shields and you get headshotted / meleed and die. Without bleedthrough (regular team slayer) it would take 2 shots to finish off a guy with the same shields: 1 to take his shields down, one to kill.

I assume you're wanting to know about melee bleedthrough, rather than bullet bleedthrough.

Its when the damage carries over from shields to health.


You know how in Default Reach you can shoot someone 3 times with a DMR and beat them down and it only removes the remaining shields? Therefore 3 shots+melee= same damage as 1 melee.

With bleedthrough the damage from the beatdown would carry over to health, so 3 shots+beatdown=kill.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

It is when three bullets + melee = death.
Before, it used to be two melees or four bullets + melee+melee= death.

Jesus loves you! But I think you're a -blam!-

It's what made Title Update fun. Now it's gone, woo.
