I hope you or 1 of your friends(lol I would be suprised if you have any) have an xbox, they dont even need xbox live we will go on xbox connect. And we'll go 1v1, by wat you have just said the game takes no skill so it should end up 15-15 score right? 50/50 chance of killing each other? I really hope you back up what you have just said and play me in a 1v1.
Not really lol, if you flip a coin 1000 times does it end up 500 heads and 500 tails? No? Then surely that is also a skill.
All you have to do is remember what to do in what order or get a lucky spawn. The battle rifle for example, the apparent pistol replacement. How can it truly be skill when bullets are not even nearly accurate, a random spray of 3 in a vicinity.
Now, you have still not answered my question, what is the skill in halo 2?
k, h1 pistol takes 3 single shots to kill some1
the h2 br takes 4 burst shots to kill some1 with all 3 bullets in each burst hitting as well
Simple math there nessy, which 1 do you think will take more skill to kill some1? Lead and all that other crap doesnt come into, were talkin about which would take more skill to use using these weapons and its halo2.
Leading to my next point.. if you played some1 in a 1vs1 on halo1 online and the other person did not know about leading (for example some1 the same skill as you who thought u aim at head to kill right?), what would the score be.. 15-0, 15-1? If you played the same person on a LAN where you both aim to the head (roughly) what do you expect the score to be now? A hell of a lot closer. The point i am trying to make is that on halo1pc the skill of aiming doesnt come into it at as much, its all about the knowledge side of how to aim (missing) which isnt skill imo.
and nessy i see you completely ignored my challenge to a 1v1, please dont reply if you aint going to back up what your said earlier
LMFAO, firstly I don't even own halo 2 anymore for obvious reasons. Secondly, you are saying because it takes more bullets to kill it takes more skill? So that would mean that if I used an assault rifle at long range, that would also take more skill, afterall it takes 10x as many bullets to kill? No, you see the battle rifle has an absolutely crap load of variation, and out of each burst, all that you can rely on that all bullets hit is LUCK. That is right, LUCK. With the pistol, there is variation, but about 1% of the variation you gets with the battle rifle, which is btw alot closer range, with mroe autoaim and in halo 2 people move slower as well. CASE CLOSED.
Leading takes skill, you are saying ti is just the knowledge of leading? Yeah, right. It is all about judgement, just like aiming is, except this is far more judgement. Judgement which is not needed in h2 as the game practically aims for you.
And not only does halo 2 take far less skill that halo pc, it also takes far less skill than halo xbox. Now, you can not use the leading is skilless arguement there, so would you not have to agree that halo 2 is indeed a nerfed game in comparison to its prequil?
Oh and btw, the immature idiot that called me stupid or whatever. I own people in halo pc with high ping without warping. I do know alot about halo and halo pc and I do know that without the bad netcode, the game would take far less skill.
Imagine clicking on icons on your desktop if you will, now imagine those desktop items as spartans heads, and there you have the difficulty that would be needed. People that have played with me on a UK server know how often I headshot, now imagine how much worse it would be should halo have had xbox style lead.
