herpaderp is when you sprint double melee while the other guy is shooting. 4 dmr shots is slower then 2 melees and you get a free kill. thus, herp-derp i killed you.
first comment, reach is really stupid ><

I'll agree the sprint double melee feels broken, but if you hear sprint you can work with it and at least usually trade.

I don't think v2 will be around for long though.

half the game is broken xD. have you ever played one bomb? shield chain on offense, armor lock on defense ><
still amusing though but hopefully v2 will actually make it competitive. i'll actually play!

my GT is still pending since i'm between accounts right now. not sure when i'm gonna get the chance to renew gold >.<

pretty happy to see other halo players even though this is a starcraft forum hahaa.

I'm pretty sure that MLG rules are no default AA, increased movement speed, and on the map you can pick up Armor Lock, Hologram, and some other ability that I can't remember. It's not Sprint though.

@ Hurricane: I want to help test your map. I did a run through of it last night, and now I'm really excited to play an actual game there.

they had sprint when I tested v1 o.O. AA = autoaim? they reduced reticule bloom a lot which is really good. bah time to check mlg rules..
k so v1 had no sprint and v2 has:

110% player speed + sprint
75% melee
150% gravity.

this is v1:
120% no sprint
100% melee
200%gravity

so i guess double melee isn't gonna happen. That kills my hopes of competing next year T_T.
oh well playlist should be fun

ohhh. well i still ended up covering it haha. v2 has default sprint and weak melee. dont actually know how i feel about that o.O. more gunplay is great but i'm not sure how strong 75% is. Anyone know if it'd kill unshielded opponent?

With 75% melee damage, it takes two melees to down the shields of someone with full shields. And if someone has no shields, one melee will kill that person.

I picked up Reach a little while ago, and aside from the game being (what I believe to be) a fairly fitting sendoff to the series, I've noticed one thing - I'm absolutely freaking terrible at matchmaking. Seriously. My K/D is negative around 75% of the time, and I've been placed in the lowest division both seasons I qualified in Arena. What confuses me the most is that I'd say I was pretty decent at Halo 3 (I got frustrated last night and booted H3 back up, and went +15 and +13 in the two games I played, lol.

Has this happened to anyone else? Does the skillset from Halo 3's multiplayer not transfer well over to Reach? Or am I just failing at transitioning well? And does anyone know why? (The two games really don't seem terribly different.)

some of the skills do like placing shots and strafing but reticule bloom is not a BR spread. if you were good at H3 you shouldn't have any problems o.O. maps play a big difference now though and where you are on the map since its almost impossible to win 2v1s because of stupid health so you have to minimize shots taken. although the more you play the easier it gets

Don't worry about Arena placement. Arena is a team playlist that uses an FFA ranking system, so to get Onyx pretty much just means that you're the best player at being a selfish asshole.

I suffered from this a little bit as well. Sometimes I think it's because I'm not as young as I used to be, there's a reason that most progamers are in there prime before their mid 20s.

I think Reach is a harder game and takes a lot more of my concentration. The AAs can all be rage inducing as well, armour lock being the most retarded thing I have ever seen in the spirit of competitive play. Some of the maps have many great camping spots for the whole team to hold, and no DMR starts are hard to work with too.

Once I started really focussing on what I was doing then it seemed some of my ability came back. I haven't had to really concentrate playing Halo since I booted up CE a while back, so I think that's a good sign of what kind of game Reach is.

I think the biggest problem with people not doing well when transitioning to Reach is they are either not transferring the proper skills, or never took the time to learn the core skills that you need for halo.

Age has little to nothing to do with improving at a video game. As long as you take the time to actually think about what is going on an focus on training and improving, you will get better.

I think age has a lot to do with it.

http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&safe=off&biw=1280&bih=612&q=cognitive decline age&aq=f&aqi=g1&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=88cb7920cd7f9302

I remember reading an interview with one of the coaches of a BW pro team saying that he wouldn't take any new practice partners/players into the team house if they were over 20 or something similar because they were too old to be able to become a progamer.

All of the oldschool BW players had a decline in their performances as BW and themselves aged.

I agree with your first two points though. The skill-set for vanilla Reach is very different from vanilla H3, which again is different from vanilla H2, which is different from MLG H2 etc. etc. I believe that MLG Reach has a very similar skill-set to MLG H2/3 though.

DMR != BR, that's why you guys are playing poorly. You probably don't know how to time shots very well yet.

You completely missed my point =\.

I'm saying that most people don't understand what they are doing wrong or what they need to focus on to improve. If you sit down and realize what parts of your game need improvement and actually take the time to train them you will be doing very well in Reach. The vast majority of those carry over to Reach, unlike what most people consider "skill" to be in Halo3.

A few examples of core skills are Routes, Spawn Knowledge, and Positioning. Pretty much anything regarding specific maps or weapons is not a core skill and will not help you with reach, like leading shots and grenade bouncing.

EDIT: I never see you online lemons =[
