Subject: So many whiners on Halo 2

The Halo community has way too many whiners. Furthermore, the whiners complain about some dumb things. People whine that they didn't get host (which is understandable), people also whine that the other team used the sword, sniper, plasma pistols, and other power weapons. And, if you're not playing Team Hardcore people complain about using the battle rifle, too.

Is the only way to come across as a skilled player to use a single SMG from far away without throwing nades or getting help from teammates?

Seriously, if the weapon is on the map then everyone should be vying for it. If the other team gets the power weapons and you can't stop them, they deserve to win.

Anyways...I would also like some things cleared up and maybe you can help me:

Since when did the plasma pistol turn into the noob combo? I know a plasma pistol and a battle rifle is the traditional "noob combo", but people constantly say "oh, he's using noob combo" even when they see a pistol in my other hand or see me whip out an SMG. If it's a plasma pistol without a battle rifle, just call it a plasma pistol.

Since when did calling the winning team garbage (pronounced online as 'gah-budge') validate your loss? If they're garbage and they beat you, that means you suck.

Since when did calling someone a 'bad kid' hurt their feelings? It's more annoying than insulting, maybe that's why people say it.

Since when did people constantly think they're the only one who is good with the power weapons, or even a br. I just love it when my teammate says "Let me get that br" or "Yo, let me snipe" as if everyone else on the team isn't good with it. I also find it annoying when people act like they can't do anything unless they pick up a battle rifle. I know it's the best weapon, but if everyone spawns with the same weapon then I don't see how you can complain (unless one team gets ranged weapons and just sits back and rapes).

I know I'm forgetting some other really annoying and stupid things that the Halo community provides. Either way, can anyone help clarify these issues and agree/disagree that everyone complains way too much. Thank you.

Hahaha, you are correct but... can you really say you've never whined about the game? Also, I do believe it is safe to say you are whining about the whiners. Never the less good post it made me laugh.

Oh HELL YES!

Sniper-whores are the WORST.

Nothing more annoying than some dumbass whining about how good he would be doing if he had the sniper while getting killed throughout the entire game.

What's worse is when you're having a bad game and your teammates whine at you through the entire thing about how much you suck - and as a result LOSE the game from focusing less on playing and more on ragging on you.

I haven't played for 8 months so my skills are seriously lacking and the amount of abuse is rediculous.

I get Clint Eastwoods who get 17 kills and 26 deaths and then call me gahbudge when I get 8 kills and 3 deaths.

It's like, who lost the game? Me or you?

Basically, it all comes from people not being able to accept that they got beat. Most of the people on live think the only way they can lose is if the other team cheats. I was playing a game the other day and got into some close range combat with a guy. I melee him and duck. He doesn't look down so he doesn't see me. I melee him again for the kill. He screamed modder for the rest of the game.

It's not the only way.

The combo can be any weapon combo with plasma pistol. Most people just say it to let their teammates know that someone is using it. It's like saying someone is using the sword or rockets. Just a saying most of the time.

Usually they say this because they're mad they lost and need to vent. But sometimes though the winning team is garbage and just did n**bish things to win. Like camping with sword for example.

Posted by: PsychoPimpSince when did calling someone a 'bad kid' hurt their feelings? It's more annoying than insulting, maybe that's why people say it.
True. They're most likely just mad that they died and need an excuse to help their ego. But sometimes saying it is actually true and the person is bad.

It is kinda annoying, but sometimes when someone gets a sniper and they waste 4 bullets on one person, then I don't see a problem in telling them to give me the snipe. People complain about not having a br, cause usually they keep getting killed by it from someone on the other team. A br usually wins anything midrange and farther over a smg.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

If the only whining worth thing about Halo2 are weapons i wouldnt really care, Halo1 weapons werent best either.

Plasmapistol sucks
Magnum sucks
Smg sucks
Needler sucks
plasmarifle is ok
Carbine is good
Br is good
sniper is good
Rocket is good
shotgun is good
sword is good
brute shot is good
Sentinel beam is ok

when you use plasmapistol with any weapon you get effective magnum, smg, Br and other combos, double needlers are good... Halo 1 weapons are more powerful but its all about first shot or having pistol(for any range), sniper rifle(long range) and shotgun(short range) combo, others are pretty much unnecessary, Halo2 gives much more chances and its harder to find good combinations and people have settled to Br Pistol combo (think like double plasmapistol and brute shot combo) Problems are either Halo pistol commonity and Br commonity or those should have smaller clips or some other weakness, if all people wouldnt have those people wouldnt constantly get flashing screen and get killed. If everyone would have option for sword that would be as crazy.

But its ultimately players fault that Brpistol thing works so well, everyone picks those and start to run around. When someone kills other he gets fresh plasmapistol and some bullets to Br and that chain goes on and on, if people would choose more varying tactics (snipers, rockets, doubleneedlers, carbines, swords, vehicles...) noob combo users wouldnt get always more bullets and fresh pistols.

A main reason why people hate Halo 2 is because of the 'auto-aim' and how it is higher, I mean really, get over it

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

I venture the guess that you'll not be called "skiled" but "cheater" in such a case. ^ ^

While I agree in principle, it depends on where teams spawn much too often. If you ever had your team spawn in the middle of Coagulation while the other team spawns more or less evenly distributed at both bases, you know what I mean. I'm not saying that you're outright doomed in such a case, but the other team will usually get in a nice lead before you can turn the tide to your favor. Not to mention that quite a lot of people on your team will either quit right away, run around like headless chicken, or go on suicide missions ("I can take that Scorpion and both Warthogs out with my SMG! CHAAARGE!!!")

Any weapon combo employing the PP is called the noob combo nowadays, although I don't even consider PP+BR as such. It's merely another weapon combo that gives you superior firepower just like the sniper rifle or rocket launcher. Heck, I've been accused of using the n00b combo even when I was running around nuking shields with the PP and whacking people to death.

Ever since idiots discovered how a headset works. *sigh*

That's nothing new. In fact, that's how it has always been. For some odd reason I don't understand many people seem to think that using a particular weapon makes them cool and respected. They'll scream "I sniped that guy across the map" on the top of their lungs while their team mate who just took out three defenders with nothing but a single grenade, his SMG, and by whacking them to death took the flag and made it halfway across Coagulation on foot just got killed because the sniper has been picking off easy targets instead of vital ones.

LOL HAHA Yes he is, but this time the person has a good reason to whine, unlike the other whiners, they would cry cause someone had one more kill than them.

We can blame a lot of that on Halo 2's ability to have players talk to one another, that is in-game, on this site, there is where we see the complaining and the moaning
