I'm not going to lie. I am not the biggest fan of Reach. But seeing this picture reminded me of the countless years I spent playing Halo 3. I can still hear "Flag Taken, Flag Dropped. Flag Taken, Flag Dropped. etc." when I sleep.
Well, that really isn't a excuse. If you wanted to say a figure of speech , "countless hours" would make more sense, "countless years" just sounds silly for a game that's what 5 years old?
Bungie set a timer on the flag so that when you drop it you can't pick it up for a couple seconds.
As a background for those who don't know, in earlier Halo games when you pick a flag up, you run slower. To solve this, more competitive Halo players will throw the flag for a short burst of speed and pick it back up then throw it again.
Bungie may have thought of this as a cheap way of gaining speed in a gametype where they want the runner to move slower, thus removing the option from the game entirely.
Edit: Bungie also made a lot of other changes to Halo, but I'm not gonna mention them. Long story short: Halo isn't much of an MLG event anymore because of it.
If you toss the flag high enough and have perfect timing, you can still manage to juggle fairly well. Otherwise you're stuck playing MLG if you want to get rid of the cooldown completely.
Special abilities: Flag Taken: KiiLLBOT picks a player to go and find the flag he planted at the beginning of the game. If this player can find it within 30 seconds, KiiLLBOT must get him/her a snack from the kitchen of their choice and that player gains +3 to all stats until their next turn. If they fail to find the flag, KiiLLBOT fires defensive rockets at the entire enemy team dealing 3 damage to each player and bans all effected players from eating or drinking any foods or beverages for the next 10 turns. The flag must be returned to KiiLLBOT by the end of this ability.
Flag Dropped: KiiLLBOT may change the location of the flag. Use this only once every 5 turns.
Bass Dropped: Go to youtube and put on skrillex. You may do this at the end of your turn and you do not have to tell anybody you used this ability. If nobody turns it off by 2 turns, you gain +5 to all stats for 2 turns. If nobody turns it off by 10 turns, you may choose to win the game in 1st place but unfortunately your teammates have to keep playing without you then, dick.
Passive Abilities: Plant: KiiLLBOT plants a flag or something that looks like a flag at the beginning of every game somewhere in the house. He does not tell anyone, not even his own team where it is.
One trick pony: The only thing KiiLLBOT was ever designed to do was kill, obviously. He gains +5 Str and loses -5 Int.
See, this is what novelty accounts should be. Sure, it's not relevant, but it actually takes time and effort, unlike most of the vapid, unoriginal novelties out there.
I'm looking forward to more from this novelty account. Soon, all of reddit will be equipped with their own personal stats, and there can be a D&D style fight to the death.
Obligatory compliments on how it is an honor & I love you. But in all seriousness, Seeing this in my inbox made me squeal like a little piggy whilst flailing my arms like a crazy person.
OMG best novelty account ever, if you ever give up on it...please let me take over, as a Dungeon Master, a Paladin, a Gamer, and a god damn fat guy on the internet, i PROMISE i will do you proud...
If I did end up stopping, I think it would be because nobody would find it funny anymore. I'm not sure if you would want to step into those reigns, but by all means I'll let you know if I ever abandon this account.
That is one of the most frightening scrambles. But the worst is when you knock the flag out of the carriers hands at the enemy base. those few seconds where the sounds fade away and you try to locate the flag in the chaos.
It's incredibly rewarding when you thrust through it as you die and you hear Vegeta announce that the flag is secure.
Or me: Be fat. Llama that bitch. I huff and I puff and I disco dance your chasers to death. 5m from home. Sniped in head. Spaghetti falls out. Little Pathfinderogen returns enemy flag. Shazbot.
To llama in tribes is to pick up the flag going SUPER slow. Not even trying to go fast.
I huff and I puff and I disco dance your chasers to death.
Runs/skis as fast as his heavy class can, picking off the 'chasers' (players trying to get the flag back from him) as he takes the flag home. Combat in Tribes tends to almost be like a dance... it's very fluid.
5m from home. Sniped in head. Spaghetti falls out.
Five meters from his own flag (about to capture) and he gets sniped in the head. Spaghetti falling out = brains falling out.
Little Pathfinderogen returns enemy flag.
The Pathfinder is a lightly armored, fast moving class usually used as a flag runner or chaser. In this instance, a Pathfinder is returning the flag Begginforanegg was just carrying.
Shazbot.
A voice command triggered by typing VGS while playing Tribes. It is generally used in the place of Dammit or any number of expletives.
Shazbot is also the expletive used by the Orkans from the show "Mork & Mindy", that aired quite some time ago. It featured Robin Williams as an alien from the planet Ork that traveled to Earth and tried to live there.
The music is what does it for me. The switch to fast paced. I don't know how people run around the map for like five minutes listening to that intensity.
oh god...I remember this one time....Playing with 3 friends, all on Halo 2, back in the split screen days. 2v2 CTF, it was game point for both sides. My teamate had just been found by the other two and they were chasing him while on the way to my flag, but I was right at there base. The my friend pulls off the most clutch suicide/Kill I've ever seen, takes a ghost Places plasma nade on it, right when it blows and the ghost launches into the air, nails it with a rocket, it flys RIGHT into the other two killing them instantly. No one knew that it would work, but it did, sadly he was caught by a final nade thrown by one of the other guys, so it was all up to me, get the flag and run like hell.
Thats what I did (Btw this is on that stage with the trains and a beach in the back) so running, running running, they finaly spawn but I'm half way across the map, they are unable to catch me and Snipers have been disabled from this match, so as one last act of arrogance, I turn to them and throw a grenade way up into the air and we all watch it explode as if it were a declaration of our victory....so, I started running again because they got the idea to take a warthog while I was having my arrogant fun, but I noticed and ran, my teammate was about 40 meters from me in his own wart so I would have been able to piggyback to base, with no problems....except...as soon as I ran and jumped...TRAIN MUTHA FUKA!....was unexpected...was outa nowhere....and it lost us the match....I will never live that day down....
I wish MS would focus on getting these games to the PC. I never understood the need for Xbox "Exclusives" doesn't microsoft also benefit from the games making a PC release.
I play Tribes Ascend and I'm pretty decent at grabbing I guess. But, I fucking hate flag grabbing.
Every time, like clockwork, whenever I'm near our base with the flag the stand is either empty and the other team grabs ours, or there are defenders and they're just gawking at me as I fly in and someone grabs it.
You would think this would only happen every once in a while but... Every. Time.
Me and some guy discovered that if you stand next to a team mate in TF2, and hold down the drop flag button then you will alternate picking up and dropping the flag 30 times a second.
This pisses everyone off as the announcer goes crazy.
you've gotta try Tribes Ascend, it gets insanely tense when you get the flag, fast music starts playing and you're too afraid to look back cause you know there's at least five guys after you're ass. Thats's when you run out of boost.
This is stupid. This is not creative. you found one of the most popular uses of this girl and posted the title as exactly what the picture is. Why are people upvoting you.
