Will anyone be online around 8PM EST tonight? I'd like to get a group together to try out the map I made. Lyte and Beezy both checked it out and seemed to like it, though the consensus was the same that it really needs 16 people,

drew · « **Reply #901 on:** September 23, 2010, 12:28:46 PM »

ill be on all fucking day and night, i havent been able to play reach since the weekeknd, gonna marathon this bitch, so id be happy to do anything with any of you guys, with the small caveat that my mic doesnt work

tehjaybo · « **Reply #902 on:** September 23, 2010, 12:35:52 PM »

I haven't slept yet, but given I don't die after I get home, add me to xbl and we'll throw something together one way or another around 8.

SAVE THE DATE. Or rather time. And tell your friends. I really would like to get 16 people together.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #903 on:** September 23, 2010, 12:39:43 PM »

I'll be on. Just send me a friend request. Gamertag is Stoney Mason.

are we to assume your gt is tehjaybo?

tehjaybo · « **Reply #906 on:** September 23, 2010, 12:47:05 PM »

Assume if you like, that it is. I posted that when I first called for people, but that post was kind of thrown together and generally unintelligible.

I'm at work at the moment, so if you folks get on before I do, go ahead and add me, and I'll write down a list of GTs and add them when I get on.

Pretty sure I heard you before. I think it was in the Bad Company 2 demo and I was driving like shit.

oh yeah

that was relatively a long time ago though, i either stepped on or rolled over onto my headphones and somehow broke the mic but not the headset, how much are those wireless blutooth lookalike thingies, maybe ill head out and get one of those

Raban · « **Reply #913 on:** September 23, 2010, 04:00:08 PM »

I logged in just to express how much I fucking LOVE this game's multiplayer. I rolled into a Elite Team Slayer match where my entire team bailed on me and it was 1 v 4. I guess the other guys sucked because the match ended with me having 32 kills, 15 of which were melee. Even when I'm losing Reach's multiplayer is fucking AMAZING.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #914 on:** September 23, 2010, 04:09:10 PM »

I use to think armor lock was shit...

It's actually kinda dope. Especially in certain situations.

Robo · « **Reply #915 on:** September 23, 2010, 04:32:19 PM »

Like? I haven't found a whole lot of use for it other than a free couple seconds to recharge your shield.

I guess it can also be useful if you're about to be run over by vehicles and to resist grenades, but I generally don't even bother picking it up.

If you are playing with a bunch of team mates and you stick together its very useful. Talking about team slayer here. I often go into armor lock when I'm about to die while someone with me continues the fight. The other team has to then focus their attention on my teammate who is still attacking them. I can then come out of it and either flee or help my teammate. And also varying up the armor lock time is really useful. A lot of people expect you to stay in armor lock the full time. But sometimes just switching up the timing. By going into it and quickly coming out of it will catch them off guard. Its definitely situational. It's not perfect for all situations. But there are definitely situations where its very useful and I find myself equipping it as a nice alternative to sprint.

Beezy · « **Reply #917 on:** September 23, 2010, 04:42:47 PM »

I destroyed a ghost that was trying to run me over using armor lock yesterday. I love it.

It can deflect missiles / plasma launcher

You have to be up close to enemies a lot or pro to use Armor Lock really. Stick to Drop Shield

It also will remove a sticky if you are stuck.

I'm halfway through the last level on Legendary now and I can say that Armor Lockup has saved my bacon sooooooo many times. So many frustrating grenade deaths have been avoided. I've found it handy in multi too but I havent played too much of that yet.

Cant wait to finish the game a pop a cool 350G

Robo · « **Reply #921 on:** September 23, 2010, 06:24:15 PM »

But drop shield recharges your health!!!

...fuck you, demi.

Have napped, we are 100% on. Adding accounts now, will open a game lobby around 7:45 for general bullshitting/trash talking/gay intercourse via voice chat.

i have no idea whats going on right now

tehjaybo · « **Reply #929 on:** September 23, 2010, 08:29:27 PM »

It's one flag CTF. The skybase is on defense, the lower base is on offense.

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #930 on:** September 23, 2010, 08:38:36 PM »

Map is really big, I got stuck a few times over near the flag thinking there was a way up to the flag from underneath. I'd suggest fixing it so there's a way for the attackers to get up to the flag. might make it a bit more interesting at the flag base too.

drew · « **Reply #931 on:** September 23, 2010, 09:18:27 PM »

i saved the day at the last second even though i didnt really know what was going on, it was pretty epic

demi · « **Reply #932 on:** September 23, 2010, 10:56:03 PM »

FUCK I rage so easily online... but I get a sick kill that makes me all

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #933 on:** September 23, 2010, 11:00:10 PM »

Swat is out of control. People have discovered that if it isn't in the first selection all you have to do is vote none of the above and vote it in the second time. I just played a shitload of swat matches which gets tiresome.

First change that needs to be made is to slot that off into its own playlist with snipers.

True.

I'm just venting. I know it will be fixed and relatively soon. I was just so annoyed after so many swat games in a row.

anybody from the Bore gonna be playing tonight? I'll be on after work, so it will be late for most people, but since its Friday I figured people might stay up late.

Say 1ish when I get on.

SWAT is a flip of the coin. You dominate buttholes, or you bite the pillow and take it shaft to tip

Teams who are good at it force the selection for one thing. so that is part of the reason its gotten tougher.

But the frequency is more why I hate it now. I've moved over to playing arena recently even though it doesn't have that many game type variations just to avoid SWAT.

The whole voting for your game type thing seemed like a good idea originally but honestly I would just rather have discreet playlists for all this stuff ala COD now that I realize how easy it is to abuse that system with parties.

I'll shut up now complaining about SWAT since I do it alot.

This game is so fucking good online. Firefight is intense but every match I got in had lag out the wazoo and my teammates were idiots. I know they were idiots because I was MVP by the end of the round, and this is the first Halo game I've ever played.

demi · « **Reply #958 on:** September 25, 2010, 03:07:11 AM »

I just did the quick million with a friend... was lol.

Also Firefight is gay today. Everyone betrays you for the Target Locator. Lol... fuck that, not worth the money

I tried going back to TF2 after playing Reach and I can't. Reach is so much better homg.
