I don't see what all the complaining is about. If you were even remotely decent at Halo 3 then you should be destroying at Reach. The people are of course moronic because they haven't learned how to camp or play gay yet, and the DMR is just as easy to use as Halo 3's Battle Rifle and is just as fast and deadly if you use it right.

And people haven't figured out how to exploit Matchmaking yet. It's beautiful.

I think you're just unlucky. I've played it a lot over the past three days in my break from Grad and I haven't ran into one person that's cheated anything, and 95% of my games are in the Arena.

If you've got a steady hand then I would think so. Swiping is a lot different but I prefer sniping on Reach to H3 because you know you aren't going to be subjected to the faggotry of people just randomly moving the reticle around the screen when they panic and pulling off a lucky shot.

It at least takes SOME skill to hit a no-scope in this game.

That's the DMR rhythm that I use and I think I've only been beat in a gunfight three times when I had the first shot. I don't think the cooldown is as dramatic as all the bad people make it. And you're probably getting sniped a lot because of the massive amount of people that are hardscoping because they don't realize that this game is full of remakes and that most people already have a set strategy on how to play the maps from a few years ago.

I noticed this on Sanctuary especially, people will sprint to the snipe and then just sit where it spawns and hardscope across the map. That or they jetpack on top of the tower it spawns in. It's fun to watch the simple strategies take shape because they're all really easy to break through.

I think the host on this game is awesome because it's not like Halo 3's style of hosting where if your team doesn't pull host you don't win. I think the Green/Yellow/Red bars are actually more accurate of displaying everyone's personal connection in this game than they were in H3 also. It's a huge improvement.

I love the sniper so much. One game of double got 9/10 headshots, just played a game and got 7/8 headshots. It's too ez.

I've gotten the 4 to work on every Ivory Tower game when we spawn near the lift and you jetpack up towards Snipe. If they are running for Rockets below you can look down at them with a perfect angle and that's the only real spot where I've gotten 4 shots to kill to work every single time.

Dunno if I agree with the shotgun part... Shotgun is always annoying imo.

Quote (Energiz3 @ Sep 17 2010 09:39am)

Quit being an idiot.

Quote (JayKwik @ Sep 17 2010 09:28pm)

Yeah it's annoying but thankfully it's not on virtually every map in Doubles like it was on Halo 3. In fact the only map that it even gives me slight trouble on is Ivory Tower and if you stay away from the lift and sniper spawn instead of crowding it, then it's not even that effective. It's nowhere near as bad as people running around with it on Guardian, Pit, Epitaph, Cold Storage, etc.




I've gotten the 4 to work several times in a 1 on 1 gunfight. I don't know if that's the standard or if it's just Matchmaking crumbling under 800,000 people playing at one time lol.



Don't mind him, he's just upset that he had to spend 60$ on a new Halo game only to find out he still sucks at that one, too.
