OHKO? Oh no!

So maybe it's just me, maybe I'm being silly, maybe I'm just new to the whole "thing", but I find myself being dispatched far too quickly in Halo 3 multi.

Now, I'm not talking about being hit by a rocket, Spartan laser (I refuse to call it a Splazer), or getting myself sniped, no; I mean, one hit from a mauler. One frontal melee blow. Things that really shouldn't be one-hit kills, but seem to be so. A player can rush me, I can pump a full AR clip into him, him never firing a shot, and he can one-shot me with his fists to kill me instantly? Surely not! Not when I have full shields!

Now I have issues with this melee system, like so many others, but it's not even a case of "whoever has most health wins", it's a case of "Loop Stricken dies, always".

Pisses me off royally!

Hard to say really I've never played Halo 3 multi but if it's like any other multi game I've played then chances are it has the same problem that all multi games do. In a face to face the guy who lives closest to the server wins. Yup I've jump guys BF2 unloaded a half a clip before I see them fire and I still get killed all because they live in America where the server is. It's one reason why I only play in Euro hosted servers now.

No, Halo 3 is purportedly different - to eliminate that, the player with the most health in a melee situation, lives. Even if he hit second. It's infuriating, but NOT the cause of this particular frustration.

I've never played Halo3 online and refuse to try it after playing the beta and Halo2 because like you Loop I got killed (a lot) but hey maybe you and I are sh!t at the game who knows...

Other than that its the American (so called adults) who just don't know when to give there mouth a rest! No offence to Talmon ect...

I freely admit to being ****, but this problem just COMPOUNDS it. And it wasn't the Septics that were the problem last night, it was the Krauts. Nobody could understand what they were saying and they WOULD NOT SHUT UP.

When I am playing you I like to lay in a spray of three bullets to your head area,
before or after a rifle butt to the same region.

I think you cant over state the importance of not holding down the trigger.
Fire in short controlled bursts.
Also don't simply aim at the player - aim each and every shot at a lethal area.

Also you need to learn to love your cover, and you need to use your environment in crazy death from above/ come out of nowhere ways.

loop i know exactly what you are talking about with the mauler. Its the one two punch. On screen it looks like one melee attack, but they are actually firing, and then hitting meele very shortly after, its pretty much a guaranteed kill with the shotty or mauler.

You think thats bad? Play halo 2 online. Its all B-X-R-'s and button combos to glitch easy kills
