Bungie created the host-selection system.

And you know this how?


LOL, Mains kids

You won with Def Not Walshy on your team?

Baffled.

On a serious note - you lack team work and situational awareness. Basically without a sniper, you don't benefit the team much.

Sometimes you either flat out don't pay attention to your team and their actions or you react too slowly and get out-team worked yourself.

Also - your DMR is really sloppy. And for some reason Fear was playing like a retard that game.

Why Bungie, why would you do this?! - Halo Community

Definitely sounds better than Costa's prepubescent voice, and you talk with confidence. Something Costa also lacked on his video.


Regardless he isn't half as good as me.

Which is all that is relevant when you're playing halo.


You come off as such a focused, uncocky, somewhat nice person in your videos. What happens on the forum?

Because the filthy German isn't used to playing off-host, him and Dxtiny always pull it.

Def not walsh wasn't the worst player on our team. Could be give a specific example of my lack of team work and situation awareness?

I feel bad for you.

Son,

I got 99 problems but Reach ain't one!

  • 07.18.2012 8:36 PM PDT

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

Too often, when you shooting at one person who isn't focused on you, and you start getting shot by another person, you don't turn around and challenge, or make any effort to get out of there, even when you have a teammate backing you up. You got lucky with some grenades and missed shots, and consequently didn't lose many deaths, but if thats how you play always, then I see a problem.

I also think your strategy sounds like balls. I haven't played the newer Synapse much, but splitting your team that way normally means its too easy for them to push down one side, and get far back into your side of the map. It also doesn't help that if you're implementing this strategy, and a player on your team dies, hes going to spawn on the opposite side of the map, and rather than helping the two over there to push up, he has to be out of the game while he sprints back to where he died. Doing so makes no sense.

Final note: I don't understand how you said your DMR was your weakest link, but I remember drama on these forums when you were talking yourself up over other players. Bad DMR means you're worse, because you'll lose more often, or get carried, which still makes you bad.

I don't get that.

The team is split up yes, but you can put shots on the opposide sides of the map and help your teammates from each side. Thats the point of callouts and teamshotting, all four people are helping eachother.

Also, While my DMR is not the best, I am usually the sniper for my team, so my DMR doesn't have to be as good as my teammates.

I'll watch it later.

There were a few times where I knew you were about to get worked and you didn't react in time / you got outplayed.

And Def Not Walshy is awful. I beat him 3v4 2 seasons ago.

Everyone has off games, but beating someone 3v4 is kinda sad.

Not much GL or DMR, you almost exclusively used the sniper before recently?

I agree with Bookshelf.

Also, it's pronounced sin-aps. Not sign-aps. You know, like a neurological synapse.

Please tell me you don't pronounce Zealot as zee-lot.

Not bad gameplay, but Flavour has a good point on positioning. Your teamwork isn't great either, as is expected from a sniper. DMR and pro pipe weren't very good for high level play.

I don't have a problem with your voice, but the arrogance is obnoxious. If you're good, let the gameplay show it; you don't have to tell us you're good if you're blaining.

That comment was not only geared toward the video (of which you brag on yourself once or twice), but also on here too. Your reputation precedes you; it's just something to be mindful of.

Thanks guys

I'll upload Some zealot gameplay, thats a good idea. Keep a lookout on my channel for when i put it up just in case i don't make a thread here.


Make sure you discuss differences in Arena Zealot (I mean Arena Slayer on Arena Zealot) as opposed to MLG Zealot.

P.S your team played way to passive on host, you should be in their snipe corner two top mid and one at GL :D
I figured this out in my first play through on the map.

Unfortunately it took me half the Arena game to figure it out, but once I got Moneymitch's fat ass out of our snipe corner we took over easily.
