Halo2 Multiplayer thread

I agree , sometimes its good just to screw around or do fun glitches.

I hate just doing match making,match making,match making.......

[Antimind]

I love doing nothing but straight ranked matches. Even when I lose. Must be the Slav in me though. We're known for neverending wars and never submitting even when we know it's over...lol

Here's a trick I found, it may already have been mentioned elsewhere (and may be viewed as unsporting) but here it is.

Messing around with the Headlong map, I discovered that if you get a sniper rifle and lift off in a Banshee, there's a building that you can reach with a flat rooftop where you can park. This building is behind where the 2 hogs are far from the water.  When you get out and walk around the roof there's an excellent view for sniping across most of the map, and no one can reach you unless they also have a beam/sniper rifle/rocket launcher.

Heh your a bit late on that one your right.
There are tons and tons of litle nooks and crannies.

I am sure if you played with any of us we could show you some tricks of the trade.

Hey Phoenix, keep an eye out for a friend request from Ant1m1nd

I recall being the "victim" of this messing around.

[phoenix1967]

Well...I did spread it around to also "victimize" Ray and Jim in our game.

Den, by the way, on Saturday Ray mentioned that he's on XBox Live. Does he know about rf?

[den68]

I've told him about it, more in egards to the classic stuff though. I'll direct him to the Halo stuff.

I see this as cheating.

[captain_nintendo]

Well eventually he would run out of ammo. And you could always hide inside a building so the sniper could not get you.

And if you get enough people thorwing grenades up there you can kill the person up there

[Izret101]

Or you can get another vehicle shooting up there.
It isn't cheating.
The guy got up there because he was allowed to get up there IMO

[Tynstar]

Well if you are sniping then you are near the edge so you can be killed so that is OK. But I have seen people go up there and then go to the back  corner and you cant touch them then. the just hide. That pisses me off.

[den68]

what would be the benefit to just hiding? I admit I don't know all the game variants but don't you need to kill as well as avoid being killed?

Yes. And if you know the sniper is up thee .... Then its a matter of time before he or she sticks out enough to be hit by the other sniper :sniper:

[Antimind]

It isn't cheating. It's just very very cheap and total BS.
