RAWRRR

They should have made it BR start. Lockout SMG start is so ridiculous.

yea really... not only that but the spawning system is completley !*@&$^!(^. You have to be really lucky to spawn out in a good spot. The spawn killing today has been driving me crazy. I need a break from this. Gonna hit up the gym and see how i do when i get back.

i feel ya. i had game at lockout, smg starting (which is a joke) and i spawned, went down to br1 to grenade off the sword cuz i knew someone would be a sword who** the entire game...ends up i was right, someone used sword fpr 13 kills... they definately need br start cuz you have no chance if someone is running at yuo with sword, cuz you cant kill them with smg. so stupid.

Even though it's a new tourney and an entirely new(assuming) playlist, it does have flaws. However, complaining about it won't do anything, it's over in 2 short weeks, there isn't enough time.

I also agree that there shouldn't be smg spawns on desolation or lockout or heck, even sanctuary. Kinda unbalanced and predetermined, but that's my opinion.


The thing I suggest is to jut live with it. Try to get lucky. That's all I can say. Skill can make you win even in faces of extremely unluckiness, but sometimes it's not enough. When there's nothing you could have done about it, just move on.

i agree SMG spawns = lame.... that and the fact that people party up and just team BR everything in sight so that they get 1st 2nd and 3rd places make the H2 challenge bogus

its not that i dont have "skill" its just that so much of this revolves around good luck. Ive gotten first place. Ive also gotten last.

I haven't had a chance to play this H2 challenge yet. But I would think that they made it an SMG spawn was in order to give everyone a fair chance. Considering that a lot of people still use the default settings or are not very good with the Battle Rifle. The SMG is not about luck either, it's not like the bullet trajectory is randomized, it does have a cross hair. Spawns will always be about good luck in Halo 2. And please, don't just go flaming me because I haven't played it yet, or because I disagree with what you think. It's a waste of your time, and I'm not here to troll, just stating my opinion on the matter, no matter how ill informed I may be on the gametype; I still understand how all the weapons work.

FFAs are luck get over it

As I lay in my bed at night, looking up at the stars, i wonder where the hell my roof went

If I didn't know anything about the tourney, I would think you get 1 game to get in to the final 64 and that's it. How ridiculous. Sure, some games someone with less skill may beat you, but not every game, or even most games. Over time, the cream rises. You guys are just bitter because you were all level 35 and lower before the reset, now you're playing actual good players in the challenge, and you can't cope.

Umm the SMG can actual be good if you know how to use it you just have to use it with duel wielding you can take out a sword if you chuck a few grenades and then just finish them off. Against a sniper your just screwed. Plus the smg is probably close to one of the best close range weapons it's sheer amount of bullets counteracts the accuracy in close range.

BR starts wouldn't make it any better IMO. It could possibly make it worse. RP is a cherrypicking fest already, and H2 challenge is the same as RP, only with less BR. Adding BR starts would make host even stronger since he can pick that much easier from a distance.

i never finigh below top 3 in that, you just have to be a scrappy fighter to be good,
I like to leave a departing present (grenade) right before i die if you get a kill or two for every death youll do fine, its not so much luck, but aggressiveness
