    So I finally bought the MC voice for Firefight after using the Nathan Fillion voice since launch and... it sucks. Are any of the other ones worth picking up?

    What!?

    You crazy. My favorites of his are upon sticking an enemy, "Heretic this!"
    Alternatively, upon getting a kill with a rocket launhcer, "Demon that!"

    Most of what I've hear is "Reloading," "I need a weapon," etc. I only played 5 games or so with it, but after hearing Fillion's over-the-top lines I expected a little more.

    Stacker, upon readying the Spartan laser;
    "I'm chargin' my laser."

    Upon being awesome (killing a bunch of guys, kicking major ass);
    "I know it's sick, but I'm lovin' this!"

    Upon getting stuck;
    "Well it was nice knowin' ya-"

    I love Stacker.
    Though I do miss Dutch with his Firefly AND Full Metal Jacket references.

    I'd say Cortana's voice was the most disappointing. Because it wasn't Cortana, it was Jen Taylor. They couldn't make up their minds if you actually were Cortana, or Cortana talking to a Spartan, so half the lines are first person, half 3rd person. She just doesn't sound like Cortana to me.

    So as I turn a corner to face the enemy I see all four of them running to meet me. I had the rocket launcher.

    Now I have an extermination. It's what popped into my mind. I do in fact have one now. Random luck, but still it's nice to have one.

    My problem is how unsightly it will be if I did go that option.
    It would go out through my room into the hallway and into the living room where the cable box/router/modem are

    I had a weird Yoink the other day during a regular Slayer match. I was standing behind the guy performing the assassination, melee-d, and ended up punching the assassin-ee across the room instead of killing the guy right in front of me.

    That's because the placement of both people during an assassination is entirely dependent on both of the parties camera angle.

    For example, have you ever tried to do a one hit melee to someone's back as they are assassinating someone? Notice how that never works? Because most of the time, when someone is performing an assassination, they spin the camera around to see it from the front, and thus their front and back are actually reversed. This is true of the victim as well.

    It's easiest to see this while armor locking. Spinning the camera around during your own armor lock, surely you've noticed that you are facing the direction your camera was, and not the original direction your spartan was facing.

    Jesus, that makes a lot of sense. Seems like that should be a strategy - when assassinating, spin to face your back to protect yourself.

    It doesn't need to be, everyone does it naturally anyway.

    Edit: this has one time led to me betraying a teammate by trying to punch an enemy in the face (thinking it was actually his back) while he assassinated a friendly.
