It's much easier to save all your grenades to kill one hunter, then to go up close to a hunter and strafe around it to shoot it in the back. Well, on Legendary anyway.

If you're talking about the Hunters on 'The Pillar of Autumn', it's best to scatter them of have Emile distract them, sneak up on them and shoot them in the back, strafe, and repeat, then running behind the containers for cover.

SWAT can really go suck a dick. It isn't fun and it has super shitty spawns.

i find that for some reason the hunters AI doesn't detect you from a certain distance such as the first time you meet two at the same time i walked into the entrance hall bit they didnt see me so i used a sniper rifle to kill them :L dont know if anyone else has done this

Hmm i disagree. The spawns are only bad on smaller maps and sometimes when your annoyed with how many times you have to shoot someone in the face to kill them in normal slayer. It's fun to go to swat where its just one-shot-kill-headshots galore

IMO

This. I prefer Reach SWAT over any other variants from the previous games. It juts works better with the single shot DMR. Feels like you have more control, and it's much steadier than the BR ever was.

Most fun campaign by far... I am enjoying the grind of Legendary... holy shit...

One question about it... How do these tiers work for the seasons and shit?

I think you have to play at least 3 games every day in Arena to get a rating. Then after the season is over I assume they average the ratings to get give you a tier or something. I already know I am not getting Onyx.

Because you can't dodge. Besides, I recommended Armor Lockup for a reason.

The divisions don't mean anything, they're totally random.

I've done A LOT of posting in the Bungie Forums recently. I don't like the new ranking system, I would much prefer the old 1 - 50 (Halo 2 version) system back :)

Oh and don't worry, there will be a playlist update in early October to hopefully split apart all the gametypes, slayer from pro slayer, ranked snipers/swat.etc. As well as the Radar being removed from Arena for balanced reasons.

the forge tools annoy me.

Since i prefer more mobility, I like drop shield MUCH better. Also, everytime I see a guy use lockup i just throw a grenade right by them when their shield is about to expire.

He's talking about hunters. A hunter can just run through a drop shield as far as I know.

I love active camo now. It takes awhile to get used to by I have like 75 assassinations because of it and I have taken down quite a few tanks on Hemorrhage. It is also pretty effective with the sniper but it is really terrible in campaign. Honestly the best AA for campaign are sprint and dropshield.

i have a K/D of 0.66 D:

It's the limited edition that comes with the recon helmet. I bought it from a friend for $50.

I've pretty much had the same problem. I went and picked up the limited edition 360, but I haven't even had time to play for more than a few hours. With work and school, I just can't find enough time in the day.

Solo'd the campaing on Legendary. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. The only parts where I had trouble involved enemy vehicles.

I love you PP

As I like big team battle but I hate team snipers/swat as I like the oldschool halo matches with only one-two snipers on each map so it was evenly balanced and not give everyone the same one shot kill weapon.

I mean if I wanna play swat or snipers I will go on a mathmaking session that is for swat and snipers but I dont wanna do it just because a bunch arseholes wanna do it.

SWAT is shit. It generally has the same cycle. Spawn, die, spawn, die, spawn, die. Once the enemy takes positions it's just spawning and dying.

Has anyone also run into people who lag switch? Fucking annoying when the game goes "Looking for New Host" and the game starts up with you dead.

I got halo reach yesterday.Ive played campaign and firefight but my live is expired.i have a gold subscription card but it doesnt seem to want to work...any help?

Because every case of black screen is solely the cause of a lag switch and not just your shitty connection where you are still in black screen when everyone else isn't?

Camo is pretty usefull but the jetpack and sprint AA's are my favorite

Most likely the case. My internet connection is balls too because my xbox is bridged through my computer. I only fuck myself unless they give me host, which, believe it or not, they sometimes do, lol.

The banshee, the tank, and the Battle Rifle/Needle Rifle (Same damn gun anyway) are terribly over powered. If someone has the tank in blood gulch, you could say "good game" if you're playing slayer.

Also SWAT Mode is fucking retarded.

Two guys burst firing their assault rifles can take a banshee down quick. But ya tank seriously needs a nerf though. It allows one guy to buttfuck the other team by himself. Any survivors are then quickly killed by his teammates with the DMR.
