Halo: Reach Discussion

i have not yet found a single sniper rifle, nor have i even seen a laser in invasion so far, and so far elites have won every single time

[FRain]

Sniper spawns at the "junkyard" position in Phase 3, as does the Splaser and Rocket Lawn Chair

[Donut]

ok spartans have won one time, but that was because we killed a tank that blew up on top of the core thing so nobody could get to it
E: spartans won again, but thats because i was playing on their team
actually no, we won because we camped with shotguns, and i blew shit up with the laser. holy fuck the laser...

[Warsaw]

I like it when there's one Elite thinking he's all badass camping with the sword, and then you show up with a shotgun and teach him who's boss.

[Donut]

yeah i would have gotten an open season hanging out on top of the core if i hadnt used the laser to blow up 2 banshees.

[sevlag]

seems spartans are learning to duck to avoid a elite's fists

[Warsaw]

It's good to be short, what can I say. They also better not edit that, since it's a legitimate tactic.

[Donut]

2 things: on invasion, elites can stand on top of the objective for the first part, and apparently still score while being immune to any kind of grenade spam
also, i think i just got a double kill for blowing me and a team mate up with a rocket after the game ended. lol.
E: i just tried. how the fuck did they get on top of the objective?
E2: shotgun + armor lock need to get the fuck out. basically just armor lock gtfo.
E3: wow playing invasion, my team mate died as a guy quit out, and i cannot spawn now. im sitting here watching this as i type. i have been "waiting to spawn" for over a minute now
E4: spawned after 1:30, it seems the announcements for "shut out" and "skunked" are reversed. as in, it will read "shut out" but the announcer will say "skunked" and vice versa

[sevlag]

found an interesting video on Bnet show casing elite using an armor lock animation and spartans doing a unique evade animation, I put pics of it in the Reach thread that I took from the film, lost link itself

anyways im getting jack shit with Cr now after being a WO grade III

Got to play it. (Not sure if this has been talked about) 1 Flag CTF on Swordbase is the easiest shit ever. Me and my friend just cooperated, ran in there spamming grenades into the tunnel the defends have to come though, took the flag and ran like hell back to base through the gravity lift. Defense? Pfft, have a guy sprint up there quick to spam grenades at the falling attackers, and the other guy gets into a position behind the barrier behind the flag with armor lock. Once the scout guy dies, have him go armor lock too.

Cheap shit, fun shit, doesn't feel much different from Halo 3 though.

Sevlag: Perhaps this might be the video? It's backwards Invasion, so Covenant are defending and Spartans are attacking, sprint animations are being used for elites and evading for Spartans.
Edit: Then again, Elite's running animation is just sped up whenever they sprint, not sure about Spartan evading. Elite at around 1:30 DOES use Armor Lock, and has a red shield rather than blue.
