It's not all about that. There's a rhythm you have to get into, a sort of groove where you become unstoppable. Every Halo game has had it, including Halo 2. You get to the point where you're annihilating everything in your path like the Terminator. It really comes more from understanding the AI and their patterns than memorizing spawn locations.Quote:

Even then, there can be a bit of flow to it. The only way I was able to beat the infinite Jackal Snipers and Ghosts in Metropolis was to simply jack the Gauss Hog from Stacker, drive off before he got in the gun, and barrel my way past everything and anything iridescent-purple between me and the streets. That, however was more of luck than anything else.Quote:

It's only the ones on the drop pod section that get me. Only those. Also, what about the elites and their plasma rifles that seem to fire at 1000 rounds per minute? How are you supposed to get into a rhythm when there are 4 of them, and more are on the way (Cairo, looking at you)?Quote:

I'm trading this shitty game in for something else. Fuck this game, fuck the douchebags that play it, and fuck Bungie for catering to them.
I'm sick to death of the Slayer Pro and Halo 2 map-obsessed people shitting up matchmaking. I could never stand Halo 2's maps and they're no less insufferable in Reach.
Wow ultimate ragequit. Wait it out about a few months; there really isn't anything better out there anyways. Black Ops is MW2 basically (as it seems) and Halo 3 is probably a ghost town right now. That's popular FPS of course. There are still plenty of other games I guess. Have you also tried playing Infection and other playlists too?Quote:

also, I still find the arena strangely less infuriating than actual Team slayer...odd
Probably because Team Slayer is where the "high level" players go to shit up everyone else's game, just like how in MW2 the Level 70s fuck with the level 13s.
I liked Arena in the brief time I played it, even in the Beta. It was somehow more relaxing.
I liked Halo 2's maps, but keep them in Halo 2 please.Quote:

I don't have a problem with Reflection on just good old fashion FFA slayer, anything else is garbage. Asylum/Sanctuary is just BAD all around.
