molekiller said:Actually is not that hard to guess, maybe you could try it... If you see a guy jumping around and putting shots on your head at the same time there's no other option than bumper-jumper, that or you are capable of aiming, strafing and pressing the A button at the same time. In that case post a picture of your hands please

Yeah its been that way, always. Since halo 1 people have been doing it. It's as important as strafing.CartridgeBlower said:
I usually only jump once in a fight, and it's usually to finish killing a guy when its a close fight or if he got the jump on me to throw his aim off. If its the former by the time I land they should be dead or I did something wrong. My strafing is a little random but I adjust a lot to cover and where others are around me.LAUGHTREY said:
chess said:But classic maps really work well with classic gameplay. Halo used to be about out shooting people. Team and individual. Now the skill is ability timing/use. I realize this is still a skill but it's not halo. It's not about who can shoot better. The movement abilities just change map design/flow. They still promote better shooting. However I'm willing to part with them completely to remove all abilites. Armor lock and bubble are the major issues. Just like the bubble in halo 3. It completely changes halo. It's like who can better plan their use/timing of the crutch rather than being a better shot or getting the drop on someone. Completely changes halo and ruins the game for the classic fans. I was excited to see slayer pro in arena, but sadly they left in the part that breaks halo gameplay, armor lock.
I guess the MLG list will be the closest we ever get.
I can't say I'd be tired of the same Halo gameplay after four iterations (I lurvs me some Haloz), but I do apprecuate Bungie's desire to evolve the standard Halo formula.chess said:

It's easier to snipe in Reach than in Halo 3.bobs99 ... said:Well some people have managed to make game settings which come close to Halo 3 - I didnt want to mention it because im sure I would have just triggered 'go play halo 3', but classic maps with classic settings would be ace in my opinion. Imagine if the voting screen has a Halo 1 map, a Halo 2 map and a Halo 3 map, and each one has the correct game settings for the map. I.E. the Halo 1 maps would come complete with settings tweaked to play like Halo 1. A classic playlist would be awesome.
Even if a classic playlist existed theres no reason why classic maps shouldnt be in all playlists.
Out of interest, I just went on Halo 3 Snipes and got a whopping 1 kill all game. :lol

How does jumping result in a random outcome? It's not like rolling a dice. I jump out from behind a corner, you expect me to be at eye-level and panic as you move your cursor up, and I pop you in the head. It's not random at all.Ramirez said:

I sure hope so. The reasoning behind his ban was definitely personal. That's beside the point, though.Plywood said:
That makes more sense. The armor abilities and "Reach gameplay" can only be explained by this being "Halo: Reach" and not "Halo 4." Who knows what 343 Industries will bring to the table? Certainly we'll never know, now that Frankie's banned. :'(chess said:
Lead Based Paint said:I hate to say it but this game is boring.
Its a shame that I have to buy a new map pack for a tiny boost in map count when there are literally hundreds of maps that should be put into matchmaking.
It's been almost two months, this sucks
Isn't that no different than colorfully expressing "you're not going to like what I have to say, but it needs to be said?"Plywood said:
That's how I was feeling yesterday. I played for about two hours, on and off, but just wasn't feeling Halo: Reach. Granted, I was coming from Metal Gear Solid 3 each time, so I think that was partly to blame (MGS3 has its hooks in me... again). None of my friends were playign Halo each time, otherwise I would've shelved MGS for the evening.-Yeti said:

It's probably because you ranked up a bit. As you level up in rank, you earn more credits for each game. It's most clear in customs, where my cap has gone from 50 to 60 to 70 to 80 cR as I upped ranks. But in Firefight I now push 1,100 per game total, when it was 700 cR per game a few weeks ago. The game complete bonus levels up with you.DJ Lushious said:
I had that same thought last night.WJD said:
I'm only 1 million cR away, wooooooh.Photolysis said:

I was excited about my 777 that happened once...Domino Theory said:Last night I got 7,875cR just from a Slot Machine after one game.
Thank you, Jackpot!
!!! 777 is the highest I've ever received from the slots. It's nice to see that it goes higher.Domino Theory said:

I stopped working on it, but took a few of the lessons from it and am trying to apply them to the current map. In particular, I'm condensing and improving the base design, both for infantry and so vehicles can get around it better, and layering in some side routes for infantry to crisscross the map on routes that aren't tethered to the main roads. Streamlining (and at the same time, improving) the bases and surrounding area is netting me $1,000 in budget. Solutions may include bridges, buildings, man cannons and/or teleporters. Once I'm through with the base rebuild tonight I'm going to explore a bunch of options.Dax01 said:
