    It's not even worth the space dollars you get for completing it.

    I'm just gong to play and be happy with completing what I can. Randoms in RP are a huge nuisance. Two games in a row, Rally gets voted for by 7 of 8 players. Then 3 or 4 guys spend the duration of the match off their mongooses jacking/killing everyone else. One kid at the end actually was confused as to he didn't win with all his kills. Then the third match was Infection on Zealot. It actually made Invasion fun.

    I was amazingly lucky last night. I played about 7 games in the Rumble Pit and only one was a non-slayer game (Race).

    Infection / Safe Havens lost every time it came up, it was a beautiful thing.

    The only bad thing is I have discovered I am horrible on Boardwalk :(.

    On my first time on Boardwalk I was on one of the stair wells and thought that I could jump down to a platform below.

    It was a kill zone that looked like a platform.

    Seriously, pretty much anyone should be able to get that many multikills if you play the right gametype...Invasion is probably the easiest. Go whore the tank and rocket lawn chair, and throw more grenades.

    You could.

    But like I said, everyone is trying to get them in Rumble Pit by voting for Oddball and just camping the ball, except EVERYONE IS DOING THE SAME THING.JPG and so it just turns into Slayer with an instant-kill Oddball weapon.

    I'm incredibly happy - I got my first ever Hell's Janitor last night. According to bungie, only 4 people have uploaded videos with Hell's Janitors. One guy got a Killpocalypse or something - so lucky.

    I'm having a lot more fun in the Team Objective and Multi Team modes right now, at least until they remove SWAT from Team Slayer and BTB.

    You killed 10 zombies in a row without dying.

    That.... would be hilarious. Off the top of my head though, can you set the hog to spawn in a random place though? Otherwise, the guy who gets the hog is going to die instantly to everyone's rockets and people will camp the spawn.

    It seems like people should love it too. Central point where everyone wants to spend time.. more killing goes on than a mortal man can comprehend.

    Isn't that the point of Halo?

    Wait, never mind. It's fine. (was thinking mongoose, but that's too zippy.)

    So would it be doubles or FFA hill?

    My only complaint with hill is the same complaint as every other objective based game; people that care more about their K/D ratio and never make an attempt at the objective and just kill everyone.

    New query.

    Unless I'm wrong (and as I am dumb, I very well could be), it seems like the credits awarded for killing someone in, say, Rumble Pit Slayer, are not consistent. I'll shoot one person and get 11 or 18 and then another and get 6.

    Anyone know what changes this?

    Are they exactly the same kills? I think certain medals enhance credit earnings.

    How you kill them (headshot, assassination, etc), if you do it alone or with help, if you have been killing guys the same way repeatedly, if they're part of a spree, etc.

    Depends on the type of kill, I believe. +5 or 6 is a normal kill, and you get more for other types since they count towards commendations.

    Ahhhh, so that's where the + for Commendations comes at the end of the match.

    Makes sense, now. Sadly :(.

    I would be down with armor lock in midair if it A) used all of the energy and B) you still take fall damage, so no jumping off the top of the spire and impacting like a meteor. As bad ass as that would be, it would be broken and no one would ever pick anything else
