Edit: Also, flag juggling has been nerfed. I wish it was in a tool tip so that people would stop doing it.

No it hasn't, if your ability is sprint and you tap sprint, pick up flag, sprint, etc. you'll move much faster
 
Armor locked, Guy went behind me for the assassination once it undid. Turned around a melee killed him. Ive never seen such rage after that happened.

Wow I can't believe we're on page 99 already. Last night I left for a bit and we were only like 72. :lol

edit: What are your guys top-used weapons? :D (On B.net!)

For me it goes:

Melee
AR
Plasma Launcher
Frag 'nade
Plasma 'nade

I <3 the Plasma Launcher (more than the splaser!!!)

Designated Marksman Rifle (32%)
Pistol (16%)
Needle Rifle (12%)
Fragmentation Grenade (9%)
Sniper Rifle (8%)

For reference, in Halo 3, it's:

Battle Rifle (31%)
Sniper Rifle (18%)
Melee (14%)
Shotgun (6%)
Assault Rifle (5%)

Happens to me kinda often. I will stand behind an Armor Locked spartan, and once it comes out I'll melee, only to be killed a split second before the melee goes by his own melee attack. Only his back would still be facing towards me.

Got a perfection today! Yay! Played a really intense and awesome game of Oddball on Swordbase against some good players including Status Quo's Flamesword. We should have won but we lost by a narrow margin. Also, that map would be awesome without radar. Much better than it is. Also, playing a lot better with the DMR while I feel like I've taken a step back in the Magnum. That thing is wild.

Kills in order are...

Magnum
DMR
Beatdown
Frag
Needle Rifle
Sniper
Was that the Oddball game I was there for? Didn't know that dude was in that game. Now I'm really mad we ended up losing that. :lol

Downpour is already in effect. Check HBO forums too. Close to 200 codes combined.
..under my umbrella..ella..ella..eh..eh...eh..

Haven't seen them on HBO yet but trying the ones on Bungie.net and they aren't working. going too fast. :lol
 
I got one code from B.net and the moment later I receive a PM with another code from the best poster on NeoGAF; I gave it to a friend! happy beta, guys.

lol yup. Maybe it's a good thing I didn't tell you. Some players tend to change their play style when they find themselves matched against pros hahaha

Anyone not in the beta yet... better get ready to watch the Bnet front page. Urk, making it RAIN.
ffs my friend tried putting in like 20 at random and they're all used already!!
Can you send one my way?? He is going through hell right now not being on the beta with the rest of us.

Active camo is really useful if you know how to use it. Just got a Running Riot with it.

Nice! Best I have gotten so far is a couple of killing sprees and an OverKill. Don't really know how to use Active camo well just yet.
 
I was fortunate enough to get a code urk so deviously put in the beggar's thread, so if you'll forgive the image, I'm about to suckle on the milk of his human kindness.

I have a few gaffers on my list, but if anyone wants to add me, go right ahead.

GT: Sp4ceman Sp1ff
 
Aw well, my cousin was out so he had me sign in his account and I have tried like 30 codes so far but to no avail. I feel bad now for getting his hopes up. Any other chances coming up?

You're crazy

I got my perfection with it

Also, I'm checking out the Arena Formula right now. I'm liking what I'm reading. Came across a little typo though.

For the Public Delta, this number is 0.96

While it's true, I don't think that was intended. Just thought I'd point that out :D

You shoulda told me! I would have been AMPED. I always get AMPED against MLG pros!
 
Blackface said:
Damn missed them all.

Yeah. We tried, we failed, we were conquered by the masses of people that will play it once and then never play it again.

All this talk about used codes... that's genius. It'll attract more attention to the game/beta and it's free advertising basically.

Sword Base is the WORST halo map ever
It's super awesome for oddball

So far every person in the beta with MLG in their gamertag has sucked :lol and i'm not thinking it's because they are not use to the weapons either.

Hahahha, well then just pretend that everyone we play against is a pro.

Lol they're the phonies. We're talking about actual MLG Pros. The guys who win money at events.
 
Curses! Missed out on the codes at bungie.net. Covert Needler Rifle duck is disappointed.

Where can you find it?

Had fun with many gaffers tonight. You could call it some sort of custom matches since we occupied the whole lobby and could choose our own maps and gametypes.

Pro tip: People that have "MLG" in their name are not actually MLG pros. :lol
