Using Weapons for their Other Functions

Does punching a flaming mantis that then exploded count?

> Or maybe you deflected a grenade or something lethal with a gravity hammer?

They actually removed this functionality after Halo 3. You couldn’t deflect projectiles in Reach or Halo 4.

The day I finally accepted the Rail gun.

When I rail gunned a head glitcher on a Haven Ramp from top mid. I’m talking straight head only visible. Used to suck with the Rail.

Also, I get much satisfaction from sniping with the laser. Quickscoping with it and jumping over a wall to get a someone who is anticipating your next reveal. It’s like you know they are waiting for you. Snipers aren’t safe from my laser.

Me and my friend were pitch with rockets on Ravine and the hammer was deflecting them.

What the hell?

I never realized the Grav Hammer had a secondary function, dang!

@op does launching Elites to get an air-assassination count?

On Vortex I used a PP to stop a Wraith, missed it, hit a hog with 3 people in it and got a triple kill, as the hog carried on going and drove into a wall and blew up :slight_smile:

On Abandon in Action Sack I was CQC fighting and accidently managed to jump on the opponents head, he was spinning round trying to find me quite funny, I waited 10 seconds or so then shot him with a shotgun :smiley:

On Ragnarok (in the good old days), I ran out of the base by the lake via the side door and was immediately betrayed by a mongoose, when I respawned the same guy ran me over again within 30 seconds of the first! (thats in my fileshare!)

On Settler I played a game that showed all players tags on the map, red and blue, along with a bar for health. Halfway through the game dying seemed to be disabled and there was what can only be described as a punch up in the middle of the map where punch after punch would land and nobody could die. (thats in my fileshare too!) Weird game that one, but oddly no lag! (Which is an exception and worthy of note nowadays!)

> Long range rocket or fuel rod kill?

I once got an Overkill on Settler with the Incineration Cannon. I was sitting at Blue base and noticed a group of Reds on my side of the Ridge fighting a couple of my teammates. I fired a shot into the group killing all but one, I then switched to my DMR for the Overkill.

> I dunno, does LR’ing a wraith and getting a Hail Mary count???

That’s very odd. I once got a Splaser Kill for using a mounted turret in Reach.

I think the person you were attacking actually killed themselves with the Splaser, but since you were attacking them, it gave you credit.

Personal - Got a Triple with one rocket cross-map shot in KotH - got like 8 medals with one pull of the trigger. Also many of the “pound Bravo from Charlie on Longbow” kills.

Got a double-kill when I stunned a damaged Mongoose with two players in it, and it rammed into a tree. (Commendation heaven!)

I tried batting a incineration cannon shot away with a gravity hammer, it totally did’nt work

> I killed myself with one of my own ordnance drops before. Does that count?

It sure does, mate.

A fistfight with a flaming mech? Awesome.

Wow! That’s the first I’ve heard of a triple kill with a plasma pistol . Props to you!

> I tried batting a incineration cannon shot away with a gravity hammer, it totally did’nt work

Ouch! That sounded like it hurt. Pretty awesome anyhow.

I love firing a rocket and not watching my target, but I still get him!

  1. Middle cave on Exile, saw a guy wedged in the corner near Red base aiming a Railgun my way. He missed, I fired and continued on my way…a second later, “ROCKET KILL!” (Also got a cheap Triple Kill that game, three guys idling at the start in Red base…a rocket made quick work of them!)

  2. Similar on Longbow, except I just caught a glimpse of someone near Blue base from the top installation, fired a rocket and moved on…what seemed like three seconds later, heard a distant explosion and “ROCKET KILL!”

Also, had the UNSC Sniper on Ragnarok a week ago, just about to shoot someone across the map, somehow descoped and got a very long distance Snapshot!

Neat! You seem to be really good with long range rockets. I’m not very good with long range rockets, unless it’s the Incineration Cannon.

I love the odd stuff like taking a hog through a grav lift and squashing an opponent.

I will occasionally manage to shoot and detonate an incoming grenade (not intentional of course but how I wish…) It’s always fun when it happens.

It didn’t happen to me personally, but one of the best things I’ve ever seen in Halo involved something like this.

We were on Settler playing Capture the Flag. It hadn’t even been a minute into the game, and the reds had already rushed our base and grabbed the flag. The three of them ran out of the back of our base and hopped in our warthog. I desperately shot at the driver before they got moving. I managed to get his shields down before they started moving but couldn’t get the headshot (being long range with the carbine didn’t help). They drive right past a teammate and I; we were standing in front of our base at this time. So I start chucking plasma grenades and the other teammate pulls out yet another one of these railguns blessed by the gods. I’m way off with my first plasma throw, but the teammate nails him with the first railgun shot. I get hopeful and think we may actually have a chance to stop them! I chuck my second plasma. By the time it reaches them, they’ve made it next to that little opening between the bridge near their base. My plasma is just inches from sticking their back left tire, but no such luck. I start to lose hope. Even if the other guy nailed his next shot and blew up the warthog, they were so close to their base that they wouldn’t have any trouble scoring when they respawned. Nevertheless, the other guy loaded up his railgun and fired off his second shot. He missed. What he managed to hit, however, was the ground just to the left of the warthog. The force from the shot causes the warthog to flip into the ravine. The driver makes one desperate attempt to jet pack to safety, but ultimately they all fell to their death.

I don’t know if I have it up on file share, but you can bet I saved that one!

Bubblegum gun.

Concussion rifle is my go-to for trick jumping and launch assassinations. Nothing’s more fun for me than doing a launch with it into an assassination on some poor unknowing soul.

Ill put the clip in my file share later
