This would be much better suited for the Halo 3 Forum.

You have to remember that every weapon on a map is put there to be used. It isn't "undignified" to use any weapon. If it's there and you can kill the other guy, use it. If you're getting frustrated because you can't kill people who have those weapons, try keeping your distance for the close-range weapons and trying to jump out of the way of rockets.

And remember that there isn't anything wrong with using those weapons.

Just keep practicing so that you expand you skills in order to win no matter what weapon your opponent uses.

Remember, there is no such thing as a "noob" weapon."

Well, it just that It seems that people just wanna win, I dont like using them because they don't need any skill to use them in. I like using BR's and AR's more than Rockets or Maulers. I guess I should try to use a variety but I think its unfair that someone should only look for that one weapon. I just played a game earlier where they didn't use anything but hammers in Guardian. But I can do anything about it because they just kept killing me anytime my team coordinated attacks.

The very foundation that Halo is based upon is controlling the power weapons.

The BR/carbine is only there to provide weapons that cover the mid to long range spectrum, not to give players an excuse to see who's REALLY better at Halo.

Maybe you try using these "noob" guns as a backpack weapon, for close encounters and such, or just take them so nobody else can use them.

It does actually take skill to use those weapons. They are just more powerful. It's pretty easy to screw up with a rocket or a hammer if you don't know what you're doing.

I do have a suggestion for you though. You don't always have to be on the offensive. If they have a weapon and they're dominating with it, try an ambush. Play defensively.
Actually, I have another suggestion. If a team always goes for a certain weapon, change your strategy to suit that knowledge. Stay by the weapon spawn and the enemy will eventually return to it. And even if you don't want to use the weapon, take it and holster it so they can't have it. It seems unfair at first, but there's always a way to counter things like this.

Not sure about other people, but I use noob weapons because I suck and they allow me to kill people using little to no skill whatsover.

Well thank you everyone for your support. I do have another forum on Halo 3 forums if you would like to talk about it there. It is a Poll: Your Fave weapon.

Of course I have but I dont use them profusely. I only use them when the other team is. And your rude comments are not helping me get anywhere
