So I've played a ton of Halo 3 but I'm just starting in the Social Lists like Rumble Pit. Is Infection in Rumble Pit? I freaking hope so. I still haven't got to try it.

I got an awesome Overkill/Extermination yesterday! Assault on Last Resort, we're on defense, sudden death, the other team make their last rush, my team is inside the base, i have the sniper (what im doing inside the base i dont know) and with a combination of snipes, no scopes and finishing off with BR fire its all over, theyre all dead, i have the grin of a shit eater on my face and the game is won
I'll be putting it in my fileshare when i get home from work. I know i made the clip but i dont remember uploading it (it was late, my last game and i was very tired) Feel free to browse my other clips. GT= BladedExpert, as i cant get on BNet from work for the link

I'm awfully fucking sick of some of the shit in this game.
I've gone down two levels in an hour because it keeps putting me on the team with the level 13 guy. Or the guy who doesn't like the map and quits. Here's an idea: if a guy quits before the map starts, why not cancel the fucking game and restart the fucking search?
And I'm really fucking sick of losing every fucking beatdown regardless of how early or late I start it. I've played over 450 matches so, believe me, I've tried every fucking variation on when to start the beatdown. Today I shot a guy with two BR bursts, hit him in the side (I could do this because he was turned away from me at the time) then shot him again and the fucker still didn't die. No, he didn't have the fucking overshield. Meanwhile, it seems if I'm shot with one fucking bullet from any fucking gun and then hit, I die like a little bitch. Oh, my connection is great according to the little green lights, but I sure as fuck can't ever fucking kill a guy with it. I guess it's always a tie, right? Fuck you, Bungie!
And the FOV is way too fucking small.
Finally: FUCK!

I really like the new melee mechanics. Seems much more fair this time out. But yeah, I've experienced what you are talking about and it's gotta be latency related. More than a few times, with a melee (Hell, even with the hammer) I've gotten my strike in first and been killed.
With the hammer, I've had it complete a swing directly on target and I've still lost to a melee attack head on. I asked a friend who was fortunate enough to be on the winning side of one of these strikes and he confirmed that on his screen, the hammer didn't budge an inch. On mine, full swing, awesome bone crunching sound effect, and my own body hurling up through the air. Definitely caused by P2P.

To counter this, I had some awesome runs with the Hammer last night, it was beautiful, I think it'smy favourite new weapon for sheer comedy value.

I know this for a fact because there's been many times where I've been the one to inflict damage, without taking any, but somehow die. I.e.; On Narrows, I throw a grenade at a guy going for the Rocker Launcher and it blows up to the left of him. His shield lights up, meaning he's took some damage. I'm relatively close when I threw that grenade, and it doesn't take me long to get his location so I know his shield isn't recharged that fast. He fires a few rounds from his Assault Rifle, but misses. At this point I'm right up on him, and we both melee each other at pretty much the same time. Now, I should be the one to win this little encounter just going by who has more health, but instead I'm the one to go flying halfway across the map.
The melee-system is retarded. If both our shields are down and I hit first, but have a little less health, I won't win. Plenty of times I've hit a guy with no shields, seen and heard my melee hit him, and half a second later he hits me and I'm the one who dies.
To paraphrase TACCHIMONSTER from the b.net-forums: If you assign a numerical value to the health system, say 100 is full and 0 is dead. Say that a melee hit takes away 40.
Player A has 20 health.
Player B has 30.
Player A hits first (first according to the host box).
Player B hits a little bit later.
Player B would have 30-40= -10 health, he should be dead. But since he had 10 more health he wins the fight, even if he didn't hit first.
Stupid.
The melee was fine in Halo 2 (except for the lunge, which has mostly been removed). Sure, if you have a bad connection you aren't going to win a melee fight, but it's to be expected that you won't fare well in online multiplayer with a bad connection.

Seriously Bungie fix this shit, its getting ridiculous.
Some more things regarding lone wolves:
1. Some people are vetoing slayer games in the hope of getting oddball so they can do that lame everyone finishes second trick to boost their levels.
2. Be wary of people with the thought bubbles next to there names for communication. They are playing lone wolves and communicating with a bunch of friends trying to match with each other in the same game so they can team up against you.
3. I am sick of people trying to improve their kill/death ratio in oddball and king of the hill. Getting killied when I'm on the other side of the map from the ball/hill is just silly.
Bungie has to create a seperate lone wolf slayer, and lone wolf objective playlist. The shenannigans are getting out of hand.

Yeah, I agree. Most people just want to play slayer or CTF. All those other variants should go away or into a separate hopper. But, if this were to happen, those hoppers would die.
People don't know how or don't want to play by the rules and there isn't anyway to enforce them in the current system.
This has been said a million times, but I one of the many who only wants to play CTF (1 flag or two) or slayer (team or solo). All those other gametypes just aren't worth it. I maybe get an hour or so here and there to play and when I play for an hour and don't get a single game of CTF, it's a little frustrating. I'll even take swords only, rockets only (even though I find those types a little dull).
