Also, 3 ball on Blackout is horrible times. People spawning behind you every second is no fun. The map is a bit small for 12 people I think.

My thoughts exactly. I can't believe that Lockout was a BTB map in Halo 2.

Also, 3 Ball with AR starts is terrible.

Anyone who likes ARs should be taken out back and shot.
 
Is it just me or is everyone else getting Construct every time they veto?

Wow, our party of three got split again in three ball. :lol
 
You guys are in a playlist consisting entirely of 3-ball gametypes and are expecting to have a good time?

Pretty sure the joke's on you.

Line me up for the execution.

Variety is fun guys. It's just a video game after all.
 
When creating a map don't just make some design with blocks. Think of how the game will play out with line of sights and a BR in hand. How can a team get a setup on a map? Will this map let better players win more often? Will it be easy to spawn trap? Will this be an arena style map or more of an objective asymmetrical map? Where are the choke points going to be, what will a player do to break a strangle? How can the other team counter that strangle, and how can that be countered?

Think Lockout Library ball setup.

Wow, Eazy, Trasher and Vhfive, what the fuck just happened? It showed all of you guys dropping and then I played 1v1 another guy on the other team. I planted the bomb twice and eventually he quit and I won. WTF?

I don't think Shishka should talk about anybody failing while I'm playing 3-ball on not boundless, but SNOWBOUND, with shield doors, and foundry, the same foundry with the little narrow back hallways. not to mention there are bubble shields EVERYWHERE.

shishka, what do you do all day, seriously?

Is that because you are probably going to get matched against another team of 4 that more often than not knows what it is doing too?

After level 45 you play pros or well-known mlg players all the time, because they always run in teams of 4 since they always have people to play with.

No one asked for SS to go up to 5v5, yet it happens.

People beg for two years to get rid of VIP from MM, and it still hasn't happened.

And what business does Last Resort have in a) showing up in 4v4 and 5v5 playlists when the map is too big for that and b) on Slayer gametypes? Last Resort is a One-sided objective map. Get that through your head, Shishka, please. Hell, get something through your head, I fucking beg of you.

Yeah, seriously. I figured out after one year of Halo 2 matchmaking that Bungie's finger is absolutely nowhere near the pulse of what their community wants and never will be. Anyone enjoy Rumble Pistols in Halo 2's Rumble Pit?

Anyone? Anyone?

And does anyone use the magnum they force now as a secondary in some gametypes? I've never seen anyone use it. All they do is immediately get rid of it for a better weapon.

Jaded Halo gamers, once you get a couple thousand games under your belt you'll be able to join our angry club.

Part of me wishes I could go back to when I first started playing Halo 2/3. I was much worse at the game but matchmaking took care of that and I enjoyed running around with the AR and meleeing people. Now I just get angry :P

Pre-patch Pistol for H2 rocked and I would run around Foundation duel wielding pistols like crazy.

Fact: I have more H3 Pistol kills than I do with the Sniper
(Covenant Beam Rifle that is)

Cocopjojo said:
When you see someone with rockets, their first reaction is to jump, and yours should be, too. A lot of times winning a "rocket encounter" can be done by waiting until your opponent has almost landed back on the ground from his jump, and then firing directly at the ground where he's going to land, so that your rocket hits right as he's within its kill range.


You get killed from 1 round because they're grenading at your feet and then BRing you at the exact second that the frag blows your shields out.


You have to find that sweet spot which is firing just enough to get their shields down to the point where one melee will kill them. It takes a lot of playing, but once you find it, you'll be able to AR/melee and either win, or get a simul-death most of the time.


Again, there's a sweet spot here for the range you need to be at before firing. If you fire too soon, then you almost kill them, and they'll fire afterwards, killing you. And of course, if you fire too late, then they'll shoot you first. This is another thing that just takes practice. And even then, because of lag, it's really difficult sometimes. Out of all of the issues you've named, this one's the most annoying, IMO.

These are great tips, I always thought shotguns were one shot kills for everyone but me. I never noticed some of the things you mentioned like the BR one shot thing but I will pay attention now and see If that is what is happening. Thanks!
 
Tashi0106 said:
^ good tips.

With the shotty, it's usually a good idea to beat down immediately have shooting the shotgun if you're in range. If you're at a good range the shotty will hit and the beat down will kill. If you're closer than the that, the shotty will kill the guy. Further than that and you shouldn't beat down.

With the assault rifle, if you're fighting some guy long range, spray it like you would shoot a battle rifle. By the time you get close, you'll be able to hold the trigger down and your opponent will probably have to reload. If you see a guy reloading back it up. Don't go in for the beat down. Finish his ass off with your gun.

Like cocop said, a lot of subtle things about Halo you pick up from playing a lot. I don't know if you know this but the lights on the Spartan and I'm guessing elites as well, indicate the amount of shields the person has. If they're shining brightly, they're low shields.

Also try not to chase people. Often times chasing people will only lead you into a trap with a grenade or more of your opponents teamates.

Dude, I have no idea what lights your talking about but Im going to look!

Also, Blood has shots fired against him! :lol
 
Half the complaints in this thread would be gone if they finally got rid of Shishka and hired someone competent in his place. It's almost comedic to me how bad Shishka is at his job. I mean Bungie gives the community Foundry to make their own map designs and we still don't have a playlist for Foundry variants a year after release. What the fuck? How do you fuck that up? How do you not plan for that type of playlist while Foundry is in development let alone since release? 1v1 playlist before Team Snipers? I mean c'mon it's one hilarious blunder after another with this guy.

You're one to talk Mr. BR. BR elitism ruins Halo. Go play MLG and leave Halo for those of us who like variety *sprays AR at dinosaur, shoves spike grenade up ass*

The pistol comes in handy sometimes. If I don't find or seek out a weapon to drop it for, I'll go to it on a regular basis. Also, it's great for griefing. Nothing like out BRing some kid with a pistol when he's got a BR. It's really soul crushing hahaha.

Also, tips to the lvl 12 guy.
I don't mean to sound like a dick
It helps if you go around maps alone in a custom game and just explore. By explore I mean, try different jumps, throw grenades and see how they land and what angles you can throw them at to get them in certain places. To me, the most important part of being good at Halo is knowing and navigating the maps at the right time and being able to in an effective manor. Good luck, if you ever wanna play, hit me up...NYSTOFMIND23

Also, tomorrow, I'm going to pick up the limited edition of Halo Wars (hopefully it's not actually so limited) That means I'll play some Mythic with you fuckers.
I say that out of love
I'll probably run around them in customs like I always do with new maps, then I'll hit up the Mythic playlist and then I'll try out some Forge creations that you guys did
Mage and Sanctum here I come
Run on sentences for teh win.
 
Shishka made the BR spread worse in Halo 3 just because he loves the AR so much. He designed Isolation and invented the shield door.

Shishka should be charged with war crimes. He has single-handedly ruined videogames and all other forms of entertainment.

Awesome stuff. Hope to see more remakes in the future. I bought the Unreal pack when it was $20 on steam but my laptop can only run 2k4 but I hope to buy a new computer soon.
 
i need to fucking rant for a little bit..

fuck alts
fuck alts
they are ruining matchmaking

lets see in my last game the person who had the most matchmaking games besides me had 390 games... and no exp.
everyone playing was obviously level 50 quality except me. it didn't help that it was isolation. i went -12.

fuck that i win 3 in a row just to be bent over backwards and fucked so hard that shit comes out my ears.

why is that difficult to believe? the only time I've really tried completely is in scrims or lans or practicing for tourneys, and I don't take the game serious anymore. I like that my account is like a brig grade 4 or something, id be a staff captain or force colonel or something weird if i could
