One of my Halo 3 montages.

those are two totally different ways of asking. it's not that it's skillful, but it's definitely not cheating. if i had to pick one, than i'd say skills, because it's two weapons in the game and it's NOT cheating at all.

It's neither. It certainly isn't cheating, considering that it is something intentionally put into the game, but it also isn't very skillful at all.

Stated nearly perfectly!

It's a power weapon, and should be treated as such.

I agree with this.

There was a man from Allentown who fed his son to death.
He calmly watched him gorge himself until his final breath.
And there he stood, surprised and shocked above his tiny frame.
He said: "I bear no blame for this. I only share his name!"

It's neither. It's cheap playing.

No offense towards the orignial poster, but I have had enough with this garbage.

Would people stop making this god-blam-! thread topic? It has been two and a half years. It isn't skills nor is it cheating, it is simply choosing what two weapons you are most effective with. Some people will claim that is is cheap or dishonorable, some people will call it simply controlling power weapons. The whinning has been ongoing and neither side will ever convince the other of their opinion. Please stop making these threads about how it should be removed from MM and polls about whether or not it is a legitimate weapon choice for a "serious" player. Everyone who makes these threads and polls please shut the -BLAM- up. Either play the game how it is or don't. There is no reason to constantly complain about this. All the arguements have all been made for each side. There is nothing left to contribute to the debate from making new topics or polls. Remaking this -blam- should get people banned.

Oh, and whoever started this thread, learn to ask questions objectively.

Who here thinks they should make a uber powerful Grunt Plasma Rifle thats shoots out naked flaming Chuck Norrises?

Its not cheating, but its a very stupid way to kill people, it takes no skill.

haha, i'm mostly tired of hearing these comments. why is it cheap and an unsportsman like way of playing? what makes it more cheap than hogging the rockets, sword, or sniper? and don't say cause those take skills because rockets do not. i agree with the guy above, we're beating a dead horse here, neither side will win. but using two weapons put in the game is not cheap. what is a non-cheap way of winning? only using an smg or br? lame

It takes skill to a certain degree, b/c its very easy to counter in many circumstances.

Saying that combo is unsportsmanlike is like saying rockets or the sword are unsportsmanlike. Are we forgetting that the whole point of this game is to kill? If ethics are being brought into question then we should stop shooting people in the back. Let's all start announcing when we are going to shoot at someone and wait for them to turn around. Yeah, that's it. Every thing's fair then. And while we are at it, let's all the power weapons out of all the games. Better yet, let's just play with BR's, magnums, and smg's.

By the way, the same effect can be done with a grenade instead of a plasma pistol. We don't see anyone complaining about that now do we?

Neither. It's not cheap, not skillful, or anything. It's just a weapon on the map, put there to be used. I mean, yeah I think it's dumb when I play Team Slayer and someone grabs a noob combo and goes on a Running Riot, but there's really nothing I can do about it. I hate it, I tell them they shouldn't use it, etc., but I use it sometimes (though I try to avoid it, mostly to avoid the people telling me I suck), and it doesn't really matter anyway. This is kinda like the WoW vs. RS debate. Nobody will stop arguing it, but that fact is nobody really cares. It's a metter of opinion. Get used to it.
