Other than the completely understandable “Cloaked Elites with Swords ganged up on me” or Wraith bomb, nobody has any excuse for dying in this playlist. Your weapons are buffed as hell, you can shred even Elites with 2-4 shots from DMR/Magnum and you have Overshields. Yet people still die on this game mode. This boggles my mind. Someone explain how some people actually manage to get killed in this mode. Then explain how they do so multiple times.
I use it for AR kills and cqb practise, I die quite a bit i have just chaged form inverted after a long time
Having an overshield and increased damage output leads people to think they’re invulnerable like in customs, thus they charge in without thinking. That or they just don’t care about Perfectionist.
I go on FF a lot and I would say Elite Generals and Spec Ops Elites always muck up my Perfectionist.
I die because I get cocky and run into the battle, but most of the times I don’t die
People tend to forget the enemies do more damage to you, it’s not just the player that is godly.
I die but thats because i don’t really care to try (It’s FF after all) but sometimes it’s just grenade spam and head shot eating Skirmishers that ruin a players day.
Grunts with Fuel Rods.
GRUNTS WITH FUEL RODS.
FREAKING SPAMMY GRUNTS WITH SPAM RODS.
/rage
Brute Chieftains on Legendary were less spammy than the cannon fodder on Normal/Heroic.
Sticky grenades…
I have fun running around with a plasma pistol. Killing EVERYTHING! My green gun is beastly.
Getting Stuck multiple times in a row.
Grunts with Fuel Rod Cannons.
You can still easily be splattered.
Grunt Fuel Rods & Energy Sword Elites, they are both sneaky and annoying.
By getting a bit over zealous or perhaps bored and seeing how much you can take on at once?
I’m either rushed by elites/skirmishers or I get cocky.

Cloaked Elites with Swords themselves are no big deal. The trouble is that even with an overshield the enemy can still manage to wear your shield down. For me this happens occasionally with Brutes and their Spikers. They have surprisingly amazing range, accuracy with their shots (the spikes themselves being difficult to avoid and just 1 hit can stall shield regeneration). That and the fact that they’re meat shields and won’t flinch like the other enemies and will all reckless charge you. With the DMR/AR loadout I always choose it’s not impossible to be overrun (even with perfect accuracy).
Probably the biggest cause(s) of death for me though is Plasma Grenade chain reactions and Concussion Rifle blasts (particularly from Ultra Elite Drop Pod enemies. Doesn’t matter how much of a shield you have, one lucky shot can cause quite some frustration. Hell even FRG shots aren’t a problem compared to the unpredictable concussion rifle :S.
Oh, there are plently of excuses to die in 2x Score Attack.
[/li]- Trying to splatter a Brute while driving a Ghost and he goes into armor lock.
- Skirmishers swarming you. grrrr
- Kamikaze Banshees on Holdout.
- Lucky FRG Grunts catching you with your pants… I mean, shields down.
- Not paying attention and getting stuck … by three plasma grenades … at once.
- Trying to get a Sunday Driver medal … with the Mongoose … against Elites … with FRGs.
- Overlook. I hate that map so much, I commit suicide eleven times in a row.
- Did I mention Skirmishers yet? Just askin’…
- Trying to find out if Covies still keep shooting you when you’re clinging to the back of a Wraith. And yes, they do.
- Player-seeking, laser-guided Covie drop-pods.
- Hiding behind a forklift while your shields recharge.
- Evil sniper bullets secretly working for the Covenant that ricochet in the most ridiculous angles just to hit your right between the eye sockets.
- Standing in a sea of blue balls… Very unhealthy.
- You really sure I mentioned Skirmishers already?
Usually I die in a 2x score attack when I’m trying too hard to finish a daily like “40 shotty kills in FF”.
Otherwise yeah, I do fine there.
My main problem is that 2xSA is so easy, I automatically become cocky and daring. And that’s when I die, trying to take on six brutes at once with half my shields gone and down to the last 10 or so rounds in my needler.
