things in matchmaking that are rageworthy to me:
go to melee -> get armor locked -> instant emp -> get melee'd -> death
HUFF HUFF HUFF -> turn to a guy sprinting in your face -> melee -> melee -> death

ugh I hate Sprinting ppl that I can't see until they melee me. What also sucks is when I'm going to do that and I get the first melee, but some reason the 2nd doesn't connect and then get me twice before I can collect myself and find them.

2nd most annoying thing when it comes to melee for me is when I'm crouching behind someone camping and a split second from assassinating them, they turn and double melee me in the blink of an eye..

How about you run through a doorway, see someone and melee him...doesn't die and he melees you and you die in one hit. Wtf is that shit?

not sure how likely it is, but i'd love if they changed melee back to how it used to be. bleedthrough damage, never know what you got until it's gone.

Sprinting is nice, way to soundwhore in reach when you're playing without motion sensor :] Didn't run into too many double melee-ers though. I bet it's fcking annoying though.

Yes...it is hahah..especially in SWAT when you melee someone and they don't die and they turn around in a split second and headshot you.

that has got to be one of the most annoying things in reach lol

That, and when I'm getting peppered with DMRs on a big map or BTB and I have no idea where the shots are coming from lol.

Yeah but I hate that in any game lol. I also hate it how you can't 1hit bash anymore in SWAT, but I guess if that was possible people would only run around and bash people I guess.

thats exactly what people would do and and that would be more annoying that not being able to 1hit bash

EDIT:: what do you guys think of the new maps coming in the map pack? vid is on bungie site if you didnt know

well for me......... its time to play some reach

Edit2: elite slayer on swordbase = epic lol

Don't know if you guys have seen this or not. Thought I'd post it and keep you updated.
Full list of ranks and their emblems.

If your LT.Col grade 3 maxed out and you have still been earning credits, go into reach with being connected to Xbox Live and it will show your rank or what it will be when the cap update comes out. I have to check when I get home but I think I'm like Commander grade 2 or so..

Those are some sexy logo's.

I'm captain grade 1 so meh xD

I'm Major Grade 1 now. I look so sexy =] I'll have to post a pic doing something epic later. Which happens just about daily lately lol. Like shooting an Elite through the ass and out the head for a headshot.

i just got to major today too lol got the new helm and the 25k shoulders and the cloak chest piece looks pretty cool in certain colours that go with the blue visor

I saved till I got 200k so I could buy the birthday party. Got around 30-35k now and saving up for visor color or firefight voice. I don't give too much about the other body parts hehe.

I remember seeing these back when Reach had first come out.

I love that they brought back some of the Halo 2 symbols.

Talking about ODST shoulders? I think those are 25k I don't remember. I was thinking about getting them, but I like my EVA shoulders. Idk why ppl don't like em. I think they look awesome. Bulky EVA shoulders + EVA helmet looks intimidating to me. Prolly cause I think of Emile and he's a badass. Can't wait to get his Shoulders.

Although, I already look awesome.

yea i know the shoulders ur talking about.. but for me they r just too big and the reason i like the 25k shoulders is coz they cover your whole shoulder and a lil part of ur arm i just prefer them atm but knowing me my mind will change and il get something else lol even at 1st i hated the 25k shoulders (should really look up the name lol)
and the eva helm with black visor looks bad ass but im not high enough rank to get it but iv got the creds saved for it

At first glance, it looked like you were raping someone with a very strange helmet.

I was gonna post a pic of the Elite Curb Stomp, but that one looked better.
Now about arena. Anyone here play it? and if so, what do you think about the Rocket Launcher? Should it be removed? Left alone?
I play Arena for the mandatory 3 times at least a day, and Whenever I lose.. It's a habit to see how much they hit me with a Rocket. The last 2 days ppl have not been able to put it down. Anytime we are winning, the opposing team starts camping rockets and going active camo. It ruins the thrill of a 2vs2 when the other 2 resort to cheap tactics for a numbered rating.

i played it for the first week or two, and then a few times after to work on my dmr/warm up. to begin with, i don't really like the concept of leaning on your individual score to rank you. should be all about winning, like in the past. the oh bad teammates constantly thing is no more than a lame excuse in my eyes. "i'd be a 50 if.." just, no.

but aside from that the current gameplay in it is kind of an issue. first of all, half of the maps have glarring imbalances off of spawn (reflection, pinnacle, the cage) and other maps like countdown having the shotgun makes it kind of a joke honestly.

idk, it's too slow for me. when i want to get super srs i just fill up a custom game and run mlg settings.

i do the same as you. i play the 3 times a day. i usually play 4v4 arena but today i played the 2v2 and i came 1st on all 3 matches by alot of kills.. even won one without a team mate coz he sucked and left

but the rocket launcher i think is ok the way it is.. only 1-2 people used it on me today and i used it once and got a kill with every rocket and never picked it up again.. maybe they could make it only respawn like once in a game to make sure people dont camp it etc or something

I don't like to blame teammates, but sometimes, it is their fault. For instance last week. One Flag on Paridiso when we were on Offense.. me and my Friend were the only 2 going for the flag. The rest of our team stayed at our base. This was an 8v8. And then when we were on Defense guess what? ... They rushed the enemy base..
Another was 2 or 3 days ago and I about raged. I had 33-12 in invasion slayer and was the only one even trying to cap anything(as spartans) and we lost due to the fact that 2 of our team was inactive, 1 was -27 in the end, and the other 2 were 2 friends of mine that just broke even, but ultimately didn't cost the match as much as the inactive pricks and the -27 that seemed like he was giving them free kills.



I must be a dam magnet then =[ Ppl love using it on me. If it took some skill to use, I wouldn't mind it as much, but getting killed with it 7 times in one match when it lands a mile away sucks hardcore. The one time it almost hit me directly, Armor Lock. Win. lol I couldn't Armor Lock the other times cause I never saw it coming.

yea 7 times in one match can be annoying lol its happend to me a few times in other playlists and armor lock vs rocket launcher/fuel rod etc = win lol i only ever use sprint and armor lock now (i pick the others just wen im bored wen i really need too) but my main is armorlock it just helps out so much with grenades/rockets/ghosts etc lol

Armor abilities are for people who need a crutch, imo.

^ Armor Abilities are what makes it interesting. At least imo.

Definatly +1

To Rawrrr...I like the ODST shoulders too. Right now my current setup is Robotic right arm no shoulder pads. Left arm I have the CQC arm plate that you get at Lt.Col. Chestpiece is the one that goes with the robotic arm I think it's like breacher or something. Then I have grenadier helmet with black visor, all attachments and tacpad on my wrist.

And I think I'm like Commander Grade 3...or at least that's what it says offline.

i cant wait to get to lt. col. so i can get the black visor and the chest piece. dont want the helm tho gonna save after i get those and the red tac pad thing then get a helm after the cap is raised.. but atm im only major grade 1 but iv lvled twice in like 2days so should be lt. col in no time

Yea you should fly through Captain/Major pretty quickly. If you do the daily challenges and play at least like 10 games a day.
