Yes, unless everyone and their mother is meleeing first - then, you can move forward a bit like you're going to melee clash with them, then back up as they melee, effectively giving you a free lunge to kill them. Often times I'll try to melee block and jump the gun, and the person just lunges me after.Shishka said:

Wonder if that kid knows what exactly teabagging is.Chinner said:
I have to say though if his cardboard was painted green it would make an amazing budget fancy dress :lol

In addition to using the melee as the primary attack, you should also try switching your button config to Boxer in Sword games. You can mash melee (left trigger) AND turn left and right which allows you to quickly get behind your opponent.

You should really only lose exp if you quit and lose the game. I got lagged out and at the time I was 1st and I still tied for 3rd with the final results.

Just finally nabbed my Overkill achievement in a game of Swords on Epitaph, won the match and moved up to 44 in the same game. One more level to go and Brigadier could be mine. We'll see how it goes tomorrow.

13 rounds of Team Objective tonight - 11 wins, 2 losses 
Went from rank 5 to I think 12.
Objective is what I played in Halo 2 pretty much exclusively, but in Halo 3 I never really got around to playing much objective. It didn't help that none of my playing buddies were into it.
I forgot how much I missed it. I don't understand how the slayer hoppers can have 50K or 100K people in them, and objective will only have like 2000. I get why slayer is more popular, but why is it THAT much more popular? We got Assault on Foundry a couple times, and it was probably the most intense gametype I've played yet. My teammates and I were constantly shouting to each other.
Edit: All we got was bomb and flag variants, though. Are things like Territories not in the playlist?
Edit2: I also see now that I got my first linktacular. Neat.

Team Objective is really that good. Although I wish Social Skirmish was more like Team Objective. Having things like Land Grab and Territories have higher weightings than One Flag and Multi Flag makes me a sad panda.
EDIT: Just wanted to say how good it feels to be back home <3
I guess mostly because people like killing and not thinking.GDJustin said:
Also, Team Objective was completely broken for the longest time because of mixed party restrictions. I got up to 30 playing with randoms, and just could not get a game with the rest of my friends, who had hardly played and were ranked below 10.
By the time mixed party restrictions were removed, the MLG playlist was out. I much prefer MLG settings for objective games, they feel like a lot more thought has been put into them. Once I'd played MLG Pit Flag, playing Team Objective Multi-Flag on The Pit was incredibly annoying.
The forged maps make a huge difference. Added jumps and removed short-range weapons help. But so do game settings, in particular flag reset/return time. On default Pit CTF, once you get the flag to green box, you've scored. It takes so long to return that it's basically impossible to stop a team from grinding a capture at that point.
Narrows is even worse. It's such an open map that the flag settings really should be on touch return, and flag at home to score, but instead it's just default. If they get it past your sniper spawn/mauler ridge, same thing again, it's a free capture.
Oh, and Team Objective is all flag and bomb. No Oddball or King
