Question for Mr Big, Hitmonchan, Steely, or Tunavi:

Did any of you note approximately how long the delay was on the stream when you played your game?

Just a couple of seconds. Players found on our screen came up a few seconds before it came up theirs.

So Bungie has been losing pretty bad which must mean their trueskill is low as hell. On the other hand I've been winning most of my matches...

So... Kind adds to the hopelessness...

Or does it? Trueskill is terrible and always seems to throw us good players against bad players, maybe you have an even better chance!

I got my first perfection last night, but it was against a really new kid and his two guests, the other two quit out, and it was mostly with a sword. pretty shameful really.

I got my first
Reach
perfection about an hour ago under pretty much the exact same circumstances, except I had a shot gun. Really cheap, but hey.

I hit the credit limit in 25 games, I kinda assumed it would take me longer than that, either way I also hit the 30k jackpot twice (Im not sure I got credit for it the first time), so credits have been rolling in. Also got a cheeky exterm in one of my first few games, so even though I didnt play Bungie and get a steak it was still a good swag.

Good man.

Is it me or does this Bungie playlist attract all the armor lock abusers? I just played one match and experienced more armor lock than I have in months.

Got my 3rd Super Jackpot of the Week, feel bad for you guys that have been playing to the point of hitting the credit limit and still not getting the jackpot. I have been playing a modest amount of games and got them pretty easily all 3 times.

The one I got today I couldn't even enjoy because my team
of randoms
lost 50-49 when we were up 49-48. Two of the randoms just held forward and got killed by their whole team for the final two kills, while I was waiting for some jackass to come out of Armor Lock to get the 50th kill. He stayed in Armor Lock long enough for my teammates to die, uggh.

It was on Sword Base and pretty much 7/8 players were constantly camping Gold lift or going toward Gold Lift to die, I was trying to get Power Weapons and map control. Map control on Sword Base for scrubs is having Sword, shotgun and a whole lot of Armor Lock camping the Gold Lift, definitive Halo.

I'd say that's more of the map's fault than the players' though

I can't believe there's still a credit limit.

First time I hit was today, trying to win steak from Bungle.

If you don't have grill then get yourself a nice cast iron skillet!

The only way to cook like a man when you don't have grill available!!!

No need to ever clean it with soap and water and all of the chunks left behind is whatll give your food flavor down the road.

No, it's the players fault, all you need to do to players camping Gold is get Grenade Launcher, Snipe and a bunch of nades. Spam nades, bank the grenade launcher rounds in there, and snipe any trying to escape. Go in there pick up whatever power weapons they had, LEAVE, then setup on the top.

Instead, the scrub strategy is to spam nades into the gold lift from the bottom, then lift up and go crazy trying to get a kill before dying. Rinse and repeat all game and never think of a new strategy. This went both ways, 3 of my teammates camped Gold, then when they would die, the other team's 4 players camped Gold, and both sides strategy to break the setup was to throw themselves and their nades up the lift repeatedly.

Obviously there is a flaw in the map if the scrubs in the player base keeps doing the same thing over and over, but Sword Base isn't a completely awful map if players know what they are doing. I never want Halo games to be balanced to the morons that play like that. If anything I blame that kind of playstyle on Reach's mechanics, with close quarters being so overpowered and scrubs hating to shoot at anything that isn't 10 feet in front of them. Oh, and Armor Lock.

I meant that there's a flaw in the map where a strategy of camping one room can be successful like that

Yea. That is the biggest flaw in the maps for Reach in my opinion.

I think the lack of flow in general is pretty bad. but then again with jetpacks map flow doesn't work very well anyway

Well since they're split from Microsoft they don't have all of that cool Testing stuff they used to have.

I guess it was just a case of me being in a game with two teams of noobs that wanted to do the same cheesy play over and over, while I just watched in horror. I broke the setups a few times with Grenade Launcher and nades, but it didn't really matter because my team would nestle in right into Gold and be the next victims of nade spam.
