I should back off of saying TU sucks, I was in an especially bad mood right then.
Everyone playing TU is so much better than me.
Gotta learn how to rock the pistol when it actually works!

K/D was never relevant. It's so dependent on what you play and who you play with.
I was about to post this, but then was happy to see someone else gets it.
That only makes high K/Ds irrelevant.

It's relevant on a weapons basis, especially if someone is trying to make an argument about x, y or z being shit and you're like "is that why I'm positive with it?" Not too long ago people were telling me the AR was shit, and I'd just post my stats with it as icing on the cake, to prove no, it's not, used in the proper situations it's strong, possibly too strong. Plus it's fun to post top 5 weapons, my 3rd is frags.
Heh.

You wanna play sometime? Not to be braggy, but I can give you some tips if you'd like. Although I'm probably not the best person to talk to about this (my k/d is 1.5, if it even matters. Though some guys here are miles ahead of me).
I would love to. GT: GUFU789shadow.

Makes sense, I was speaking of Overall KD.
@ bold: You have no Halo honor.

Sword as 3rd. No fucking shame.
My AR fell to 6th! I blame anni and my pistol owning.
Nope.

Yeah shadow, give more TU settings a shot, play with some gaffers, see how it goes. TU is definitely a lot better than Vanilla settings, it just takes a little getting used to.
So when you are saying headshot registration is crappy, I shouldn't be able to post headshot stats? No. Just no.

I know how you feel right now. Finding out that your most hated weapon is in your top 5. It's place 5. I hate frags much more than anything else in Reach's weaponry. Trying to be cool and not hating them but... it's impossible to get on a neutral ground with them. Even I can't blame only the grenades. Have to blame movement too.

It's definitely movement and the fact that nades seem to have some built in "follow the player trajectory."
Sword Double Team abuse, no regrets!
Also 3rd place in SSX, I'M COMIN FOR YOU TAWPGUN...
Just need to shave 10 seconds off >_>

My only perfection was from using a sword on countdown
also, I wasn't too wowed by the SSX demo. Maybe it's the new control scheme though. I'll give it a shot with the classic one.

Yeah. I don't know how the game does it but your grenades are special. You can stick everyone with every grenade. Was it a pre-order bonus?

I wouldn't mind lunging going away in general.

I just like to spread the love.
I stopped playing SR3 around 97% completion. Game rules.

343I taking out the block vs the sword was of the most baffling components of the TU.
Yeah... Guess GDC it is then. Wouldve been the same date either way (3/5)
Sword block was too inconsistent. I'm happy that it's gone. The Sword is overpowered but that doesn't justify a shitty mechanic like that.
They said it was because it was inconsistent and was too harsh a counter against the sword. Didn't make it power weapon-y enough.
All of my issues with the TU stem from how it handled CQC. I dislike nearly every change.
Everything else is fine in my book.
I find it hard to reason how every issue someone has in this game can be filed under "too scrubby/lowered the skill gap," but something that took actual fighting game levels of timing to pull off (sword block) can be considered shitty just because netcode made it inconsistent.
The sword isn't over powered, it's just a terrible, no-skill weapon. It has the most herp derp flowchart toward a kill in the game. The only way to stop it is to not engage it, or have a shotgun. It slows combat just as effectively as AAs. There is nothing dynamic about it. There was a smidgen of depth with sword block in the mix, but that's now gone.

I'm glad it was removed, the sword is supposed to be a one-hit kill "finish him!" weapon. It's only really unbalanced when you put it a) on a small map with b) sprint enabled.

I'm part of AmeriGAF and I'm watching. I hereby dub Basel giant killers.
I love that they can recite epic JRPG's and Metal Gear's stories, yet think Halo story is convoluted. I love Metal Gear and all, but the story is just way too out there and ridiculous. Same about some of the JRPG's, basic ass story becomes masterpiece.
In other news, today is opposite day in where I had a good match on Powerhouse of all maps and fucking hated getting donged on my favorite map Sword Base. Still, fuck Powerhouse.
What an inspired goal from Marseille!! God I love soccer.
I know that he got bored of Halo but nothing beyond that. He still signs onto AIM and MSN but I never talk to him.

Wait, what? I didn't say headshot registration is bad. I just said that stats aren't necessarily indicative of skill.
edit: Ah okay, misunderstood you there. Yeah, headshot registration is just fine, maybe it is just him missing

But why? You don't judge a book by its cover do you?
Forming an opinion before you can properly play a game is pretty much the equivalent.

Yeah.. Even though it seems Halo 4 wont be at the Spring Showcase I really can't see it being too much longer til we see something. With all of use anticipating something around the corner Im sure if our wait is to be much longer our dreams would have been crushed much harder. Then again, who knows. Hell, maybe they dont know, it possible they are still in the process of deciding how and when to show it off. Lets hope for GDC though.
