Halo: Reach Multiplayer Fragfests

guys add me up on xbl

sick and tired of playing with over competitive 13 year olds.

Sure, would be a nice change of pace from the cut-throat semi-pros on my friends list

Sniper skills... reminds me of a random guy I played with today (BTB). He camped sniper spawn, got every single sniper on Hemorrhage two games in a row and ended up with high positive spreads in both.

 

Then we got a big team snipers match, and he went negative.

Somehow the controls don't suit me for sniping in Halo..I was too used to LT for scoping cos of COD..using the analog stick to scope in doesn't allow me to quick scope

and I hate the days when all the Challenges are related to Fire Fight matches..I was able to get the same credits in MP in the time i was waiting for some player for Fire Fight..if any of you wants to complete all the daily challenges do let me know..

in halo,they dont quick scope,They shoot through the small dot and kill

[Aftrunner]

@Raghu I think there is a control scheme that lets you zoom with LT. But it wouldnt help much. The auto aim you get in quick scoping in Halo is not even on the same planet as the auto aim you get in CoD.

 

If you want kills with the sniper in Halo you will have to actually aim it somewhat.

I have been saying this for a while but Sniper spawns need to be removed from the bases in Hemo. I have played entire games where 3-4 guys camped the base top for the ENTIRE game just to get snipes. And for the rest of the time they were fighting each other. :|

I thought snipe scoping was completely manual in Halo......how do you say that there is a certain amount of auto aiming there?

[Aftrunner]

Auto aiming was perhaps the wrong choice of phrase there by me. But there is always a certain amount of aiming assistance going on in every console shooter (L4D is the only exception in my experience). Most of the times its just something as simple as slowing down your aiming cursor speed when you move onto a target. The second one is a bit rarer, its moving your cursor to the closest target almost imperceptibly, almost like your aiming reticle "jumps".

 

Halo uses both of those. Aiming reticle jumping (the second one) happens mostly with a DMR and the Pistol. Especially if you are aiming VERY close to a stationary target he suddenly moves a little bit, you can see your cursor automatically move/jump/follow/latch onto him. Its pretty hard to notice at times though because it happens at a very, VERY small distance from the target. With the sniper in Halo its the first thing. It slows down your aiming speed when you cross onto a target. Its very slight but its there.

I've surely got to try and notice this when I play next time. Never knew about this.

You're just not used to the control scheme. Quick scoping is as easy as firing the weapon, yes. It's easy in a way of speaking...still takes skill to actually get a headshot with that quick scope. You could do the same in Halo 3 also.

I love Invasion but dear god quitting is rampant in that play list. Just played 4 games and not one single one had full teams at the end of the game. Anywhere from 2-4 people quitting.

 

There needs to be stricter penalties for walking out on Team objective games. I dont mind people quitting on slayer, double so if its BTB. Quit away. 1-2 good players can easily pick up the slack and still make it an even contest. But objective game types like Invasion totally get buttf**ked with even a one man advantage. :|

 

Also there were like 10,000 people playing Infection last night. Who the hell are these people?

[jDaMn]

Penalties for quitting... MTNL

[Aftrunner]

^^ I never quit. Except when I get disconnected. Or if I lag too bad. Or if we are getting spawn raped. Or Scorpion raped. Or if the team sucks. Or if I get too frustrated. Or bored.

 

But aside from that I never quit. Usually.

 

In other new, my first Rampage. Should have been an Untouchable but the damn black screen host switch made my first 5 kills null. And damn near had a perfection too but I got sloppy at the start and some punk got a lucky headshot in. :|

 

Yes, I whored the sniper rifle like it was going out of fashion. But thats not the point.

* Host migrations may have resulted in missing data on graphs and in stat detail breakdowns. Totals for the game are unaffected.

 

Too bad no one plays SWAT here. We tried a few games a couple of days back, and I ended up with two exterminations... in the same match.

 

Also, I sword lunged a guy as soon as he came out of lock, ended up dead (he died too). Is this normal? I keep losing against armor lock

[Aftrunner]

Totals are unaffected but it restarts you if you are on a spree. So lets say you are on a spree of 6. Then a host migration happens. So it will effectively restart you from zero as far as the spree count is concerned. The next five kills will get you another Killing spree and NOT a Killing frenzy. But you will still have 11 kills and 0 deaths.

 

BTW from what I hear they have put in a check for AFK guys. If you have been AFK in the match (I am guessing towards the end) after the game ends it dumps you back to the main menu saying "You have been inactive" or something similar so basically the AFK guys dont end up in MM again. Excellent stuff if true.

 

Edit My xbox appears to be dying as well. It takes whole bunch of re inserting the disc before it will read it. Looks like a call to MS is in order. Lets hope I am still in warranty. First the PC now the 360, I am cursed. :|

i only play that and snipers these days.

[devil_angel]

I noticed what afty said with the DMR. It isn't a great assist but yea....noticeable when closely watched. And the pistol....OMG....there was an occassion when I flicked the stick towards left and it was onto an enemy in a flash.....I was like.....I didn't do that

[jDaMn]

Totals are unaffected but it restarts you if you are on a spree.

I know... just reminding you

 

Those new maps better have the next Pit/Guardian. BTW it was so easy to introduce Atom/Cliffhanger.. why don't they introduce more maps?

I got an Invincible Medal yesterday..infact I have invited everyone in my Friends list to watch it to get that Achievement for 5 gamerscore. I should have got the Perfection also..but died before I killed anyone.

Meh. My highest kill streak has been an Untouchable. But getting an extermination is much more satisfying for me.
