Believe me when I tell you that the plasma pistol overcharge is a needed evil. Without it, having a slim chance of winning a game when the opposing team has all the vehicles and power weapons becomes an impossible task. Annoying? Yes. Game breaking? Not at all.

And we need to discuss the one map that has a Banshee on the top of each of these buildings. The teammates keep fighting eachother over it which is rather depressing-looking. It's because of them, the enemy team gets the most points. While my teammates kept fighting eachother, another Banshee came by and dropped a missile on all of them and the pilot was earned a killing spree.

Yeah that shit happens all the time and it is very annoying and frustrating. However I find that its worse with the sniper rifle in hemorrage. 8 out 10 times I have to fend off my teammate while trying to stop the enemy team from grabbing our flag. It is most annoying when you get to snipe vehicles and other enemies while your teammate is fighting you. You'd think they would figure out you are good with the weapon and stop messing with you but no. That is the downside of having friendly fire.

An hour ago, I became a Major and I'm enjoying wearing the Eva helmet. On my first match as Major, I was going Predator on everybody. Cloaking + Energy Sword = massive ownage. Everybody hated me after I won. I honestly can't blame them for it was a massacre.

....Can I even play Reach anymore after watching that?

You better play if you want that weekly challenge xD

And you better watch the vid, Look Out Below, that I recommended to you. Probably the best vid I made right next to Do A Betrayal Roll.

oh? Sure I will get on that. Sorry i was drunk when you sent the message so I didn't understand it rofl.What is your favorite map, gametype and playlist?

elites on legendary is just unstopiblie unless you have more then 2 player playing or your really good at it

You can take them out with a mixture of plasma pistol+ pretty much anything. I tended to role with a plasma pistol and carbine.

I don't like playing online much anymore because I have such bad internet connection that when I die, it starts a pile of X's because nobody seems to respawn, then I lag out. But I got to Captain Grade 2.

Note: an easy way to kill a Legendary Elite. Fire AR. When taking damage, hurl grenade, he'll jump, sprint to the position he goes to and bash him in the face. Fast.

You should be arrested for having lag that bad but continuing to play long enough to get to Captain Grade 2.

That's like 10,000 players you tortured.

Plasma Pistol + DMR/Pistol/Needler Rifle >>> Legendary Elites

I guess it's Halo related, possibly, but it looks rad.

Speaking as a 'shopper... shopped. The grass is a real photo with the saturation tweaked; the rocks are pasted in, you can tell from the blur where the right one meets the grass, and the smooth curves of the left rock's side (normal mapping provides apparent smoothness only on the body, it can't refine the polygon edges) meaning either the rock has far more polys than any decent art director would allow for an environment model, or it's been pasted in. The GUI bothers me too (more than just the "NO" direction).

Man, that's not even a good Photoshop job. That's pretty damn bad and amateurish. Everything is sloppily pasted together with no effort to make it look like one continuous realistic image.

They don't. I had to find the energy sword.
