Halo: Reach Discussion

[sevlag]

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.

the video is close to what im talking about, but its not the one I saw, it lookmed like the last part was done, then blacck screen, then the UNSC announcer saying about falling back, then the elites and whatnot

[Pooky]

btw, that you suck, was directed at everyone.



So, go spawn with a pro pipe, and go disable his shit, and go jack it, thats almost EXACTLY what I did when we were getting spawncamped by a tank.

Are you serious, Elites don't get grenade launchers you cretin.

[sevlag]

Are you serious, Elites don't get grenade launchers you cretin.

they get Plasma pistols...which aren't as good as the "pro tube"

if an EMP disables electronic systems temporarily why is the turret still able to rotate?

[Warsaw]

Hydraulics.

[EX12693]

Hydraulic pumps are electric. Or engine powered. But the engine is dead... so... um...

[Futzy]

It shouldn't be able to do that, since the wraith gets completely disabled by EMPs. Not to mention the magnetic aim on the scorpion is insane now.

[sevlag]

no because even on the wraith fire control still operates

[Futzy]

I thought it didn't, but even if it does you can't aim it

[sevlag]

I thought it didn't, but even if it does you can't aim it

well thats cause with the wraith you have to turn the whole vehicles, what im saying is the EMP should basically render the vehicle useless for the duration of the shutdown

[Limited]

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

I was elite one time and I had spartan hands and I could use the sprint ability. It was very weird, I also had spartan guns.
