But Boardwalk isn't a Firefight map

Yeah I can't play this game until the playlists have been updated or even then, until MLG gets their playlist out. At least they understand how map balance works.
The game literally, gives the other team your sniper.
The game literally, gives one team an advantage over the other on certain maps. It's stupid.

Yeah, that sounds like the way to go. I remember that the H3 zones had a priority number, which did pretty much nothing. What you described sounds like how it was meant to play out.GhaleonEB said:

I can't stand "Pro" variants where the sword is replaced with a plasma pistol but the other team still spawns right near the rocket launcher. I don't see the point of swapping out the power weapon near one team's starting location and leaving it in for the other team.
The MLG Sanctuary map has some more of the elements from the actual Halo 2 map than Asylum does, but I can't get over how boring it looks.
They can't adjust and move things around in the current area? The only thing I dislike primarily about Asylum is the tower above the Sniper Rifle spawn. Certainly needs blocked off or have Bungie place an soft-kill zone up there.

Bungie peeps, is there any way we can get the menu backgrounds as PC wallpapers, specifically the NA one with the Falcon?

Yeah, sometimes I'll get matched with one person that just fucks my game up completely :lol
But most of the time, it's fine.
I never go into Firefight with less than a 3 person party, though...
New Alexandria is the easiest Legendary mission by far, besides Winter Contingency. Run past Hunters. Run past ambush.
The hospital is the only true encounter in the whole level. And I managed to cheese that by finding the PERFECT distance away from the jumpers that allowed me to shoot them repeatedly with the DMR while they just stood there.
~38 minutes, 9 deaths.

Is there something up with Halo 3's player count thing in the game? Because it's been way higher the past few days than it's been in over a year.

I usually don't do this, but one of the guys in the game I just played was talking about how he was challenge boosting by unplugging an ethernet cable, I hate ratting people out, but he was being such a douche about it.
Frankie, Urk, etc. If you are here, the dude's name was Soul Reaper28.
Thanks
Now he is arguing about the fact that Bungie can't ban people and his credits won't be reset because "It can't happen to him."
Bungie, please ban this ass.

Gotta admit, Armor lock is starting to get on my nerves. Not when its one player mind you, but when most or all of a team is using it, it just leads to consistent cock-blocking of all of your kill attempts.
When I first heard about armor abilities I thought they would be placed around the map as pickups, and I'm starting to think that may be the way to go. Give some base loadouts, with other abilities placed as power ups across the map. That way you'll still run into armor lock payers, and camo players etc., but not a full team of either.
I know that proper AL use requires skill and timing, but the end result is a pause in the game. And you either move on and let your almost-kill survive to see another day, or you linger about waiting, open to attack from their teammates. And say you manage to overcome their backup, its a kick in the balls to have THAT player now armor lock on you while the original guy gets up and takes you down.
Maybe I just have to adapt and overcome but damn is it annoying and deviously effective in all the wrong ways.

The person who does this is ALWAYS the worst player in the game, or at least bottom 3. Without exception.
I once had a situation in Halo 3 where I had 4 kills from 4 sniper shots, douche on my team nades me, proceeds to waste the rest of the ammo without killing a SINGLE PERSON. He also ended the game with 0 assists. HTF is that even possible?

I've used one of the rubber stick covers since Halo3 and I've switched out my 360 sticks with my old controller s sticks to make them taller. More leverage less force to move, easier to aim etc.
I highly suggest stick pads, and it's a cool conversation piece.

I'm just finding guys that pulse it next to you as you try to melee, then release to drop your shields if you're touching them (since you went in to melee), then melee you back for a one-hit kill since your shields are now down.
Still my least favorite of the armor abilities.
My friend started playing Reach for the first time the other day. I told him to go with Armor Lock and he loves it. He gets in trouble, goes into Armor Lock, and we save his ass. After about 5 matches he was never in the negative K/D.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
I'm feeling the same way. My friend and I had the absolute worst Halo session ever today, we lost 8 in a row, 11 if you count multi-team games where you don't finish in 1st. I sucked in a few and he's not very good anyway but our teammates were almost always constantly terrible. I don't see how people can go an entire Slayer game without getting 1 kill.Blueblur1 said:

Agreed. But I'm hoping that changes with time.timetokill said:
But that brings up another issue I'm having. Do melee attacks also drop your shields? I could've sworn that I was at full health/shields when I smacked some guy and popped his shields, only to have him win the counterattack and shed me of my mortal coil from a single melee. Is this happening for anyone else? Is it by design or do I have to back to the film and see whats going on?

Why the fuck can Brutes use Armor Lock? It makes no sense whatsoever and just..
on Legendary sometimes.

Brutes become laughable once you realize their allergy to needles. Three needles and your troubles just wash away (explosively).Ajemsuhgao said:Why the fuck can Brutes use Armor Lock? It makes no sense whatsoever and just..on Legendary sometimes.

I like asylum but yeah, the roof is pretty terrible. I decided to just abuse it the other day and went 17-3
you can just walk around up there and murder people with the DMR if they are anywhere near your base, if the other team took sprint/AL instead of jetpack they are basically fucked.
had some pretty good moments last night during my GARBAGE run where myself and another guy both had armor lock, he runs in and takes shields down on 2 guys then locks, I run in and clean them up, 3rd guy arrives I get his shield off then lock and he comes free and kills him.
I can see how the other team would not have enjoyed that, but it felt pretty rad doing it.

You know I've been in that situation many times. I usually come out taking 2 or 3 of them with them thanks to a well placed grenade at my feet before I die. lol
