So I thought I'd start a thread on this, since I haven't seen one. Obviously sticky launches have changed for the worse since H2, but they're better than being almost nonexistent (H3). Anyway, I thought I would post and see what you guys think about launches and how you prefer to do them.

Plasma
I hate launching with off of plasmas, I can rarely get them to go far, and more often than not they explode quickly. Does anyone have the timing down so that they can get it to work like H2?

Frag
This is my favorite kind, since it actually makes the grenade go fast and doesn't make the plasma blow up early as frequently for me.

Barrel
They go high and far, but there's not many barrels in Reach. I've almost got it to work on Countdown, it's hard though.

Concussion Rifle
Also hard to do, since it requires a wall. Sick though.

Rocket
Anyone do this? I haven't tried much.

How do you guys launch?

^ This guy is rad.

First time I ever tried a sticky launch in Reach I got it lol. It was about as far as you can launch one too, but I haven't gotten one since. The fun of launching died with Halo 2 for me though.

I've got a sick plasma launch (didn't stick anyone) on Reflection. I have no idea how I did it, but it was really cool looking. If I ever play this game again I'll work on it.

I'm still working on my launching technique, it's a lot different from H2's launching.

My best launch so far. Banked a frag off the bridge and the sticky went at Halo 2 speed across the map.






boom

That's pretty sick Diesel.

Thanks Smuttny

wingless is that yours? I'm guessing not because of the username, but regardless that's pretty disgusting. All I ever do on Sword Base is try for a clip like that. If that map didn't have a Concussion Rifle I would just take the ban and quit every game. Once I get a sick clip I'm never playing it again :P

And I also reside in the 206. :o

Plasma on plasma launching is HELLA hard to me in Reach.i never tried it in H2 so i cant compare, but i get it to launch about 25% of the time, and i cant really aim it well. i seems easier to get it to launch at a angle,then throwing it straight on though. i have gotten real close to getting some cross map ones though, but the only person i have hit was on powerhouse and my teamate killed him before i got the stick lol. As for barrels,I too have almost gotten a guy with the barrel on Countdown too,but i cant really think of anywere else to try it. im sure it will be done by someone. i havent tried frag launches,just cause i dont personally like them. Concussions are easier to me. With the rockets and the concussion rifle, i tend to like to have spots allready picked out that i know a wep launch will work. If i try to do a weapon launch at any random spot, on a whim, they seem to never have a good chance at sticking someone ,esp with the rockets. thats all i can think of now...im kinda high,will post more if i think of something else...
Speaking of sticks, just got 2 from the top of Spire in the same game

It's actually his clip, just the only one I have seen^^

And yeah, I'm in the 253, I just say I live in Seattle because I go there all the time for stuff. It's like 30 minutes away.

Was launching any easier in the beta for you guys?
