Yeah, I was listening to your conversations. He was on my couch playing reach whilst I play FNV on PC

Reach sucks. All of my team mates in my party always suck, so we end up running in circles like a two leg dog. :ugh:
For the record I was sucking because invasion sucks balls.
Weekly update.. armor lock out of arena and jet packs back in..
fml.
But it looks like that more challenges can be put in, so that's always a good thing.
Meh, I think for Arena it's necessary mainly because it does become kind of cheap with the way most people use it. When I envision Arena, I think of Armor Abilities that actually require skill to use; Armor Lock and Drop Shield aren't really what I would consider incredibly competitive Armor Abilities for the playlist.
I wouldn't mind Bungie taking Armor Lock out of the Second Phase of Invasion for the Spartans on Spire; if there's 5 seconds left all that's required is an armor lock to continue forward. Doesn't really make a lot of sense if you ask me in terms of balance.
I hate everything Bungie has done with vehicles in Reach. It's phase 3 of Invasion: Boneyard. I jump in a brand-new Scorpion, drive it through the shield door, and blast an inattentive Wraith that was outside before it can turn to hit me. Before I can fire off my next shot, it hits me and destroys my turret. Now all I can do is wait for him to finish me off because there's fuck-all I can do. What the hell? A brand-new scorpion rendered useless in one hit? Why is it even possible to blow off their turrets?
Well it works great if you want to disable the tank as a strategic weapon while not starting its respawn timer by completely blowing it up. That's what I usually do in BTB, fuck up idling enemy vehicles to the point where they are a few hits to being blown up. They'll stay that way and some fools will get into them and drive off into the action and my team mates or I will take a few shots and BOOM, no more warthog or [mini-]wraith raining on our parade.
If a vehicle gets like that, I just jump in and drive around for the lolz.
