The Mark of Shame (Bad Covenant AI!)
EDIT: Like Son of LA said on the second page, Tag your covie AI fails with [b][u]Mark of Shame[/u][/b] so that we can browse for them easy! =3
[url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileSearch.aspx?fc=5&tags=Mark%20of%20Shame&date=0&mode=list]Click here for quick search![/url]
EDIT 2: I've noticed alot of bumps in here. Glad you love the thread, but bumps are bad and will see this thread shut down or locked!
[b]If you wanna support the thread, post clips, comment on the clips of others, discuss what you think the mindsets and backstories of the shamed covies might be, etc... [u]NO BUMPS![/u][/b]

[b]Original Post[/b]
There's no doubt in my mind that Bungie have done alot to improve the AI of the enemies in Reach. Elites are especially taxing, with their hard-to-snipe back and forth strafing and various evasive and offensive tactics.
Still, as with any game, there's times when the enemy AI does something dumb. And thanks to Halo 2, we all know what happens to disgraced Covenant soldiers... They get branded with [b]THE MARK OF SHAME[/b]. Dun dun dunnn.
That tradition needn't come and go with Halo 2, though. Reach lets us save clips of moments in Campaign, so we can all easily document and catalogue these awful specimens in action.
Have you come across any enemies worthy of the mark of shame during your firefights or campaigns? [b][url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=4250165&player=Johnny%20Rockhard]I know I have.[/url][/b] If you have too, I'd love to hear about (and hopefully see) your encounters with the worst of the Covenant war machine. Together we can immortalise their failures, as a lesson to the rest!
Share your experiences, and clips too if you have 'em!

No vid, but sometimes foes won't react to you beyond a certain range, but because the pistol and DMR are hitscan... Well... I've popped Elite Generals and Brute Chieftains cross-map with the pistol without them even moving. And then there was the time all the skirmishers kept super-jumping to the top of my camping spot just to get pummeled in assembly line fashion. And hammer Brutes jumping off the map. Although most of the stuff already here is much better than anything I have.

[url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=8645472&player=Exuberance88]Thanks, Captain Hammer![/url] In the middle of fighting a hyperlethal spartan, 2 hammer brutes decide it would be fun to duel each other instead of killing Noble 6. [i]Thank you hammer brute I don't think I can Explain how important it was that you stopped the brute I'd have been hammered I'd be crushed into debris Thank you, sir, for saving meeeeee[/i] I also have another mark of shame that I didn't upload to my file share: I'm being chased by a sword zealot, so I run to Jorge and get myself cornered. I turn around and the elite is right infront of me with a sword, but instead of killing me, he decides to just turn around. I assassinate him. [Edited on 11.02.2010 11:37 AM PDT]

Not sure if it's a mark of shame for the hunter or a win for the marine, but it's pretty cool regardless: [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=6787328]Epic near miss![/url] For further shame he later went on to put in the finishing rocket on that hunter.

Here's one my friend took. Super-grunt kills himself by gravity attempting to leap a non-existant building in a single bound. [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=6764117&player=Incredible%20Ike]wheeee[/url]

[url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=6810803&player=A%20DVS%20NTT]This happened about 30 minutes after the first one.[/url] We were both getting the daily challenge where you finish ONI on Legendary without dying. So we played it twice with one person sitting back. Both times we played, this happened. Also, [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=6810856&player=A%20DVS%20NTT]this was a total Caboose moment.[/url] Happened in the same game. I apologize for not having Bungie Pro. I simply don't have the money to waste on it right now. But check out the videos anyways. They're pretty funny.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Narmendo I swear that sometimes I'll be playing Campaign and the elites won't even budge until I 'touch' them. [/quote] Lol, maybe they doze off now and then? Reach might have less oxygen in the atmosphere than they need.

I had a skirmisher run off of a cliff. I was going to post it here, then I realized it was only a hologram. Outwitted!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Exuberance This thread is awesome but hasn't been posted to in a while. I think it deserves a BUMP![/quote] I've always had a mind for quality over quantity. I'd be thrilled if this thread is somehow a success, but I don't tend to post if I feel I have nothing to contribute, and I don't like contributing other people's videos, so, yeah, there will be dry spells... I do keep checking in, but I haven't encountered any bad AI for a few days.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RC Clone [url=http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=6097300]I had this happen to me today[/url][/quote] That's just weird. No wonder Reach fell if all the Spartans were weaponless and thriller-dancing. Still, no mark of shame. They ain't covies. Mark of shame to every covie that died at their unarmed hands.

This thread is full of awesome :D These are some epic videos! Keep 'em coming!

ah the hilarity of this thread.

Sooo, you're a Jackal, a master of ranged weaponry, armed with a needle rifle. What you lack in bulk, you make up for in accuracy and swiftness.
