Subject: what do you think about double shooting...idk if this has been posted

w00t w00t to all the psychotic warthog drivers out there like me

double, triple, and quad shotting ruins the game completely. its not very fun when you come around a corner and get shot once in the head with a br and die. its happend so much to me and it really takes the fun out of the game.

I see what you're saying, but you have to recognize that at this point everyone who is above average may use the button glitches. So if you take it away, there wouldn't be a drop off in any established pro/semi pro.

Hmm, I don't know if I'm explaining it right though.......lemme try again-

Basically everyone who has the chance at being good, or demonstrates higher skill in this game has already sized themselves up to the competition. The button glitches can further seperate some from others, yes. There are those out there who do rely on them (a very small minority) and if you take them out it would change their style of play.

But .......like you get to a certain point where you're going to see people button glitching, but they may not be good at it, or can't get anywhere with it because this game is more about team work.

Ah, I just thought of the perfect example- me (Iceman.)

I can't double shot worth crap (I don't even bother trying) yet I get out BR'ed by good people because they can aim better than me, or has a nicer strafe than me.

I get outskilled all the time because people have more experience than me. Take away the button glitches and nothing's going to change really.

BGs don't make the pros good, they are just something that the pros do. When will people learn that the pros now ill be pros in Halo 3? I'm already in another flame war about this in another thread and oh so many people are wrong about button glitches. BGs don't make the player.


Please don't misunderstand me and think that I think all pros only use button combos to be good. I know that they are fantastic without them. I know a lot of people are simply good with the battle rifle. Those aren't the people who I am worried about. It's just that people do use these to get out of trouble and prevent a death where it should occur. I am sure people who don't need them use them, but why cheat if you don't have to? I just don't think people who don't NEED to use them should.

Here is proof that not just pros/people who don't need them use these:
my game play has improved 99% ever since ive learned how to BxR cause if im stuck in a corner shields are down and someone has found me a quick bxr and then im outta there and safe one less kill for other team

double shot and quad shots are hard as hell to pull off in a MM game cause people cant pull it off in a tight situation against someone who is unpredictable
but people get better at then start doing it in MM games a lot it just means they can press buttons faster then other people

and just amagin the buttons they press (R,R,X,Y,Y,R,R,X) for a quad shot
(Sry ^^^ cant spell)

Source Look right after my post. I just wonder how many others are like this...

I'm not trying to be rude, but getting quad shotted is not as common as everyone thinks. Even people who can consistently double shot don't just run around trying to quad shot. I've played with people who are against double shooting in FFAs. The guy threw a fit and said "play me 1v1". I did, and i knew he hated glitches so i didn't use them. I still won. Post game he said " you couldn't out BR me without double shots".

My point is that alot of people blame doubleshots when they just got out BR'd.

Now, about the "whole pros wouldn't be pros" thing. I've recently been watching VoD from chicago. I've watched almost every game and I've only seen 3 doubleshots and maybe ten BxR's.

Alot of people, including myself, have already said this (iceman and kevinbrock said it better than i did) pros would be pros with or without button glitches.

Why do you think the top h1 teams were the top h2 teams? Because it took awhile for a team to get the kind of teamwork plus skill combination they have. Same rules apply to Halo 3.

Oh, and iceman, where is this blog about the double shotting kid who got knocked out early? Would be fun to read.

I looked on my website and couldnt find it in my forums, and I know I posted it in there. It was also on MLGpro.com about a month ago as a blog entry by one of the staff members. If you cant find it on MLG, feel free to use my website, www.codeofwarclan.com. It hasnt been cleaned up in a while because we are working on the new site, excuse the mess.

What are the "pros" gonna do when halo 3 comes out.....no double shot, bxr, noob combo,......they wont be pro anymore...

Wow that is bull-blam!- you know that? Pros don't always depend on button glitches to win you know, they also use communication, or all the other things that Iceman just said. I'm sorry if you think pros can't win without their button glitches then your a dumb-blam!-.

Great video, but it looks fake. Look a 0:25. doing RRX YY RRX all in one go is impossible. Also you can't double shot at all when you have no ammo in your BR at 0:41.

Double shooting/ Quad/ whatever takes skill, a lot of skill, but dammit, it is still cheating, that in my opinion should get you a temporary ban.

Location: Outlaws' Summit.

Ok, I found the blog thingy I was talking about, located here: Click, and this is the snippet most interesting:

At a recent event, I wondered out onto the floor on Friday night to watch the Open FFA. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular, just hoping to find inspiration for a story or a player who seemed interesting. I found both when I stumbled onto a player who appeared to have mastered every glitch in the Halo 2 arsenal. The tournament was still being played in split screen, although I couldn’t tell you exactly what round it was, and this player was doing absolutely nothing but double-shots, BxRs, Grenade reloads and all those other tricks players have for speeding up their ability to do damage. This kid was running all over the map, shooting constantly, executing the glitches flawlessly and…failing miserably.

No matter how many times this player pulled off a RRxYYRRx combination, he was still outflanked and out-shot over and over again. I watched as he battled an opponent at Carbine 3, landing a double shot on his opponent, but before he could finish the kill, a burst of BR fire came from across the map and finished him. I was close enough to hear him swear under his breath and before he could acquire a new target, someone tossed a grenade in his direction and he was forced to wait five seconds in the death screen while the battle raged on. This scenario played out similarly over and over again on other parts of the map, with this glitch-master picking up assists for the rest of the field and dying in the midst of several opponents repeatedly. When the match was over, he had fewer than 20 kills and nearly twice as many assists.


I bold/underlined the important part.

.....imo double shooting is cheap and not the way halo 2 is meant to be played


The fact that every poll question started with the number 4 instead of the word "for" makes me believe that you, sir, are mentally retarded. I hate people that can't just type out the whole word, and need to substitute numbers.

That's just my opinion, of course.

RIP Halo 2.

You know, I was going to take the time to respond to this thread logically and with well thought-out points, but then I realized the total futility. You randoms would rather stick to your narrow-minded opinions and make excuses for why you're bad at this game then suck it up and learn to play. It disgusts me that kids like you are the community that Bungie takes the time to listen to.

Nobody ever lost a game because of button glitching. If people beat you with button glitches, they'd beat you without button glitches. Get over your silly "morals" and excuses that "this isn't how the game was meant to be played." You think host advantage was intended? Hell no. That actually wins games, but you whine about button glitching instead. And I'm sure you use host BR every chance you get. -blam!-ing hypocrites.
