Subject: I hate when People...

Herroh. U have reached teh BOOGIE LAND

hate on me when I play really defensive. Some Arena games I would have like 5 kills with 1 death and the score is like 40-42 and we are losing. I just feel like playing defensively is smart. How about you? Are you offensive or defensive?

Edit: I just can't really get into an offensive flow if I am forced. I usually stay back on our base and wait for opponents to come to me. But my teammates usually rush the side, and pile up quick deaths

Idk. Its good to not die, but 20-16 is better than 5-1 imo.

I patrol the base. I hate when people say you "camp" when you are trying to control your own base.

Camping your base is useless if you are down. The other team won't rush you if you are "patrolling" your base and they have the lead.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Aggression or at least smart, non-passive play is typically the way you want to go. At some point, it stops being helpful being 5 and 1 if you're sitting back playing "defensively" as opposed to pushing with your team and at the very least putting shots on people. That's at higher competition levels, of course, but the same principle applies in casual play or whatever you do.

Yeah, but when a teammate feels the need to call me out for only giving 1 death to their 42 is wrong. If they were not rushing as much, the outcome would be drastically different

If you play too defensive, then most of the time the rest of your team is essentially outnumbered four to three.

I like to play offensive most of the time. Most of my FL never plays Reach so I hardly am able to communicate with my team. Typically I'll push into the other team's base and try to create havoc.

In Asylum, I usually hang out at our sniper and put shots into people, but they count as Assists and my teammates are usually so congested, they die before they can finish the kill.

The best place to be on Asylum is ring, their street, and either carbine. You want to base yourself in ring, and move to any of the other spots to get shots on people without leaving yourself too open to die.

So maybe extend to Card if I don't get snipe and try to support the rushers?

Never heard of card, but if that's a mid-map position, then sure. As long as you are in a position where you can support your team with lower chance of dying and without sacrificing map control. You almost never want to go to their side in slayer unless it's to grab their sniper or distract them in hut while your team spawns so you have a significantly lower chance of losing map control.

Eh, I'd just call that ring wall, but whatever. That general area is where you want to control at all times.

Anyone who claims the AR takes skill ought to shoot himself in the head. Preferably with the AR because they'll most likely miss with any other weapon.

Play offensively, unnecessary defense like that will only hurt you and your team. Think about it like you are setting up a perimeter around your base to protect and still be able to control the enemies base.

i think it's a bad idea to play defensively. gotta keep pressuring them. rush their spawn take their weapons and you'll get good results.

  • 04.06.2012 12:06 AM PDT

Pls stop inviting me for your groups I don't want to join any group!

I'm not afraid of dying in Halo and so do I play

I don't rush without any thought though but I look that I'm always on the move.

Staying in one area to control or guard is not my style I get bored of it pretty quick that's why I'm always somewhere else lol

  • 04.06.2012 1:09 AM PDT

I can't wait for the day my hustle game don't gotta start this way.
AIM - c.ommview
Skype - Residue

You always want to be on their side, so you can control their spawns. Sitting on your side is something I can't stand to do, and I always yell at my random teammates that do it.

I hate when people tea bag after you die. That's not only so 5 years ago, it just looks dumb.

Camping is staying in a corner the whole game with shotgun or sword.
