LOL ;P I've been playing Skyrim the last few days... I've gotten so used to the Y button for jump that I failed a bunch of Arena games in Reach I feel like I'm holding my controller with my butt cheeks lol, not even in silver division anymore.
I'm going to make a special point to get those before Reach dies. I've started playing more with full teams in the last few months, so I have the luxury to kick back and just wound people if I want to - it's just so hard to resist the urge to finish off that kill. Plus I'm a total rocket ****, which is not exactly a great way to get assists (unless you suck at aiming). I have the same problem as you, and for the same reason. I just don't play 1v1s more than once in a blue moon, and the format is so different than team games that it makes me nervous. I don't do that well in doubles either. Weirdly I feel like it's partly caused by playing over Live - when I used to play 1v1 and 2v2 games on LAN, in CE, vs. people I knew, I was really good at them. Somehow my mindset and skillset has changed quite a bit since then. Rather than accepting a lot of serious 1v1 challenges though & trying to get better at them, I think I'm going to do something I've always thought of doing: download somebody's remake of "MLG Guardian" and create a little room somewhere that the other player will spawn in. It will be full of fusion coils with something obnoxious written on the wall, maybe just "You Suck." Then I'll stand outside shooting them and teabagging the air until they rage-quit and file a complaint against me.
A really good grenade launcher kill is pretty satisfying. And I'm talkin movement-prediction-triple-ricochet-couldn't-even-see-the-enemy good. Those make me smile. And getting shad0w pissed off in 1v1s. That's also a pretty good feeling.
I want an Unfrigginbelievable. I died then went 39-0 before the game ended. I was so mad. But I love getting Showstoppers and Killjoys, the way the commentator says it makes me feel like a thug
My favorite moment in Reach was my only perfection. I was playing FFA on Uncaged and had a lead of 10 kills, winning with the full 25. That's my only perfection though... So it's special. That, or going ninja on red team in Hemorrhage. I crouched ALL THE WAY to the back of their base, back-smacking 12 in a row. Ohhh the epicnesss.
In the rare occasion that I even play reach, I've been playing FFA. And Doing quite well I might add. Winning most matches or at least coming in the top 3. But My favorite and most satisfying part is getting a yoink then killing the assassin for a sweet double. Or killing the assassin first, get a showstopper then kill the one being assassinated for a sweet double.
I love getting showstoppers. I hate it when it happens to me, but after realizing how awesome it must be for the other guy I usually pass it over. That being said, when I get one myself with a Sniper or something, I feel like that guy's hero. Winning 5-4 flag games or 50-49 organized party vs party srsface games (or even losing that, hell, I just like those intense, close games) is a good time in my book too. Unfortunately, I rarely, rarely get the opportunity to run with a team the times I am playing Reach, so I've only done that a handful of times. For now, like Gorilla I usually frequent FFA and enjoy placing highly in a close match without any real hardcore camping or anything. Good way to keep technical skills relatively rust-free. On the stat side of things, seeing an 86% success or 'win' rate in FFA makes me happy as well, even though it's a silly little pointless number. Running campaign in a full Hog is fun too. Any campaign. More fun with a bad driver. I also thought Annual, Deja Vu and Endure were good fun on the co-op side of things. I like those close, Halo team games the best though. Something about them...
probably when I got that achievement where you have to like asasinate an elite. That took aaaaaaaaageeeeesss
I know the Sticky Detonator may be trying to fill the GL's niche, but has it really been confirmed that the GL will not be in H4? I hope it stays. I really hope it stays. I am pretty stoked for the Rail Gun though.
Well they just released a video with all the UNSC weapons and they didn't show the GL so I'm guessing it's out. Which is sad because the SD doesn't allow you to bounce grenades which was the best feature of the GL. RIP
Came to hear me beg. Definitely I felt like such a badass (especially since I did it jumping off of spire like geoff challenged us to).
You can stick the SD to people. That would be funny to stick it to people and basically use them as a suicide bomber on their own teammates.
