but just plain letting people go? Not fun.

As I said, I'm with you there. I don't let people live just to let them feel better. It doesn't matter how many times I killed someone, I will continue shooting! Heck, I didn't even go easy on Kristen, when I had the chance to play with her! Laughing If I notice someone letting me go or letting me kill him/her, I'd be offended, so I would never do that. What bothers people is when you're on an objective game and you simply ignore the objective area and go straight to where the other team spawns, take advantage of this and start to kill them as soon as they spawn! If you don't go there in the first place, you don't have to let them go and that's what I do ... It's pretty easy to tell when somebody is actively looking for fresh spawn players to kill!


I can see that, then, I never understood people who felt that every game should be a variant of slayer. I do go to the enemy territory only if I feel the need to make a strike with some other folk, but then if I recall it's already been said that kind of spawn camping is kinda expected, as is, I suppose, spawn camping while they get away with your flag. Not that I enjoyed being sniped every 4 seconds on Sanctuary while the other team got away with the flag, but I'd do it if I had the chance too, I suppose.

My favorite moment on Xbox Live so far was in the lobby post-game. I don't even remember if we won or lost, but the other (matchmade) team burst out in a really derogatory tone:

"Krystyn, you sound like a girl!"
...silence for a beat...
Us: BwaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!

I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.

And many of my more recent favorite in-game moments involve splattering people with the hog on Turf by bursting through the swingy saloon doors. Even if its an accidental betrayal, I can't help but laugh!

It's pretty clear that sniper whoring is the XBL equivalent of a 40-year-old man driving a Corvette.

Sorry for my less than stellar performance last night. I'm happy to say that I can blame it mostly on my internet connection because I was in the yellow and red most of the night. Time to complain to Charter that their service sucks.

I think my highlight of the night was jacking a ride in the enemy's warthog passenger seat and riding around with them shooting at their teammates. They then decieded to take me to the bomb carrier who tried to melee attack me out of the seat. Luckily I managed to shoot him a few times and then melee attack and kill him when they pulled up to him. A few seconds later I decieded to bail out of the warthog while it was still moving. I did so and continued to press X. They were going in a straight line at the time and I ended up bailing out of the passenger seat and then immediately jacked the gunner from the back. Someone might want to test this out and see if this is repeatable. It might be a good tactic to have if you find yourself in the same situation. Maybe I got lucky but man it was a sweet trick. Smile

Uber(cado), sorry about the invites last night. I had one last game on me, that's why I didn't send you another one.

I think their quote was "How the hell did he do that?"
To which I replied "I got skillz!!" and shot the former gunner with the hog gun.

Not trying it out myself , the puma jacking thing, technically if they are going in a straight line, and slow enough, it should work everytime. Just as the physics engine goes, ti should work, I don't have much of a clue till I check myself, but I am deifnetly going to have to try it out.

Having not played LIVE with you guys yet, I have to say that my favourite Halo2 Splitscreen moment was jumping off Ascension and jacking a 'shee from my buddy, which he immediately rejacked, so I jacked hm back and he fell to his death. Smile Fun times.

The other day in team slayer on ascension, I had a beautiful moment.

I was on the sniper tower, alone, as the rest of my team had died and respawned elsewhere. A guy comes around the corner at the base of the tower, so I blast him in the face with a shotgun. Well, at this point his friend in the banshee sees me and starts shooting, before ultimately getting close and attempting a ram. I got out of the way and took a couple pot shots with the shotgun, before turning around to see an enemy with a rocket launcher, clearly making a large effort to not get himself killed from the banshee's ramming run. I proceed to run up to him, shotgun and melee him to death, immediately grab his rocket launcher before it, and he, even hit the ground, turn around and blast the banshee before it could even get itself away from the platform. It took place in the course of one smooth move and 2 seconds, and was just totally awesome. I then proceeded to use that last rocket to get a double kill on a couple guys on the ground some time later.

On a barely related note, if you get team rifles on Ascension, get that banshee-it's almost impossible to shoot down unless your whole team goes after it. In a match we did, my buddy got the banshee early on, and proceeded to get 20 kills and 1 death-that being from before she got the banshee. She didn't get shot down at all.
