    correct, it's 4 shots with the DMR or 5 with the pistol ANYWHERE to take down shields and then one to the head or 3 to the body

    how many for needles? if I can consciously break the habit, I think learning his will dramatically improve my lethalaties (I generally FF on the head)


    I'm just happy I haven't succumbed to the itch to burn PPL to play Reach... Yet.

    Man. I have no idea who this Stacker guy is. When the hell does he appear in the campaign?

    Having RvB guys in FF would be kinda jarring. They haven't even killed anything ever, so what are they meant to say exactly?

    Stacker always seemed to me like the guy who wanted to be the hero, but Johnson stole all the attention because he got better lines.

    But as a combat buddy, there's no one I'd want by side other than Stacker. His voice alone inspires men to confidence.

    also, this:

    double edit - huh, I never made the connection that this the guy who did the "real men of genius" commercials. It seems so obvious now!

    I use Stacker because I'm busy buying armor and Six's panting and chuckles are boring.
    Plus he's got some great lines when getting stuck;

    I love the one in invasion. This morning I managed to kill it three times in one phase. Just wait in ambush, and when they pull it out the garage jump on and bam.

    You'd think they'd start checking after the second time it happened.

    So DMR is definitely better than the Needle Rifle then. Hmm. Is the NR 1 headshot to kill too?

    NR has less of a drop in accuracy though, so you can fire it faster.

    Crap. I always just assumed it was quicker to drop shields by aiming at the head. This could seriously effect someone's game since the body is so much easier to hit. So basically just shoot for the body until the shields pop and then go for the head.

    Yeah, but you get the bonus of the supercombine if you miss the head on the 7/8th shot
