I use to think armor lock was shit...

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

Robo · « **Reply #901 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.

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 #907 on:** September 23, 2010, 06:24:15 PM »

But drop shield recharges your health!!!

tehjaybo · « **Reply #915 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 #916 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 #917 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

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #919 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.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #935 on:** September 24, 2010, 11:38:32 PM »

I can't play tonight but we should get a squad for this weekend.

Start showing some leadership DEMI!

Well I definitely suck. I just didn't play enough Halo 3 I feel to be decent at reach but its still fun to play with groups.

SWAT was fun when I first got the game. I hate it now. I've gotten worse at it somehow.

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.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #941 on:** September 25, 2010, 12:39:24 AM »

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 #944 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

Just go in the search and find one of the many gametype labeled "quick million in 20 min or less"

They set you up with triple shields, infinite rockets, and Elites/Hunters spewing out every spawn point. You can get every FF achievement

wtf only 2140 people online?! Wanted to jump into a game this afternoon and it's been saying there's only ~2000 people online for the past hour or so. Surely this is some error? Don't think I've seen less than 100,000 people online since launch, no matter when I log in.

Raban · « **Reply #958 on:** September 26, 2010, 01:55:29 AM »

I saw that as well. When I hopped on at around 1PM PST, there were only ~500 people playing. That's fucking impossible.

naff · « **Reply #959 on:** September 26, 2010, 03:13:06 AM »

Good to hear it's not just an NZ thing, maybe everyones playin RDR for the Double EXP weekend, gotta get that Zebra Donkey

. Probably played enough of Reach this weekend anyway, spent 13 hours playing 16 player lan with friends on Saturday. So intense.
