Idryll–
Lol
I just got out of a game of CTF on BG. The game was set for infinite grenades, (I was not the host). I'm far from the best shot with the pistol and we were playing with shields, so other than the sniper rifle not much else works at a distance.
I was liberally tossing grenades at the enemy. Early on I scored the only flag, (both teams seemed to be spending their time in the middle of the gulch popping each other with pistols), by TPing out and sneaking into an empty base and zipping back in a hog. Then I kept lobbing grenades, often from behind them after TPing out.
They called me a "grenade whore." I'm shocked, shocked and appalled... hurt... ohh my poor self esteem! Should I call them "bullet whores"? After all, they kept shooting me! They even reload when they're empty! Of course, they had one guy camping at our TP with a rocket launcher, but I guess that's "sporting."
As I see it, any kill is a good kill, any flag captured is a point. I work with the tools I'm given. Complain to the host about the 'nades. I prefer 4 frag, 4 plasma, though I'd prefer a limit of 8 total no matter what the kind.
Personally, I don't like tanks and banshees in BG, (they're fine in Sidewinder death island, and other maps). I still get in BG games where they are used. I hate them most because they make my favorite, (the hog), too vulnerable in that wide open space.
I really hate getting surrounded by enemy tanks while they spawn kill us and take our flag. But if Bungie thought spawn killing was wrong, they could have made us all invulnerable for the first 3-4 seconds after respawning. But they didn't, so I work on my tank and banshee killing technique– and I just return the favor when I get the tank.
One guy was able to hop out of a banshee when I stuck a plasma 'nade on it, let it explode, flip the banshee back over, get in and keep on killing. He did it over and over again. Annoying, but poety in motion.
