this is a real situation that came up while i was playning halo. i was walking along the side of blood gultch with a pistol and a shotgun, approaching the blue base.
sudenly, i see two blues getting into a regular hog (one driver one gunner).
i try to take them out quick, but too late! they're gone. of course they know where i am, and will be on my posision in a number of seconds.
i franticaly search for something i can use to tip their hog (all my grenades were used up in a hog battle that happened just a moment earlier).
At my feet lay a fuel rod gun, fully charged. since it's such a cheap weapon, i wouldn't dare touch it under most circumstances....
What would you do in my situation?

A pick it up. Rule number one: YOUR LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THERES.

Rule #2: In war there are no honorable kills. It's every man trying to exploit the other's weakness or raise their strength and thus gain an advantage.

Rule #3: If you can gain any advantage against your enemy in war, you need to take it. Otherwise your chances of death greatly increase.

Rule #4: It's an explosive, and you have a vehicle bearing down on you...what do you think the MC would do? Ignore the heavy weapon and use a grenade that may or may not hinder them/hit or miss, or grab the gun and blast them to hell. He'd do the latter.

Grab it and blow the hell out of them!

You're not a rocket whore or 'rod whore if you use what's available to you. If that's ALL you ever use, then you might be. When I started playing CE again last week, I was leery of picking up either the rocket launcher or the fuel rod gun for the same reason you stated.

Same with H2, 'cept I don't feel bad about using the Brute Shot, because I think it's kinda useless.

Heyyo,

If I pick them up, it's to flip the hogs, then switch to another gun to finish the job. ;)

I usually do this when stuff like on BG and the enemy's spawnkilling inna minigun hog.

well, i guess i should say what i did. i swiched my pistol for the FRG (i was in a hurry), tipped the hog, switched to my shotgun to finisn them off. then i ran back to get my pistol back.
then i appoligized profusley for using the FRG, and while i was typing, one of them respawned, grabbed a sniper, and shot me. damn type kills....
sure and,
6) no stratagy cannot be countered. do not flame someone for camping, running people over, sniping, or basicaly anything else you usualy yell at people for

#7) do not apologize to people for using a gun that has just saved your life

Really man, no offense, but that was stupid typing "sorry, sorry, i just used a gun that has saved my life".

He was trying to be nice but in away, I don't see why you'd apologize for killing someone. I mean, it is slayer......

  • 02.01.2005 7:00 PM PDT

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

If the driver would NOT have tried to run me over but to provide a good angle of attack to his gunner, I would have picked up the FRG. If the driver would have tried to run me over, I would have sticked to the shotgun and taken out him and his gunner.

... really? I think if I were driving and someone was trying to kill me with a shotgun they would soon be roadkill. (assuming the situation as stated. no grenades) This guy would have been a pancake if he hadn't grabbed the FRG. I would have grabbed it and used it without remorse. A FRG is no cheaper than the front end of a hog. And there is nothing wrong with using either.

I dont think killing people with these weapons is very cheap. Who doesn't love having a pistol out only to be charged by a banshee and whip out a rocket launcher. My favorite type of kill is running people over, especialy with a warthog or ghost. I sometimes even forfit shooting with the ghost to try and do a stealth kill from behind by running them over. Never ceases to amuse me.

you wouldn't have a chance against me if you were in a hog and i had me shotgun.
i on;y have trouble if there's a gunner, 'cause i can doge the hog, but (assuming the gunner's good) i'm dead before the hog turns back

In my opinion the only real cheap weapons in halo is the fuel rod, but I say use it then. Thats what I'd do in that situation. Shees are the ultimate newb device. Rockets, c'mon how can you say they're for newbs really, if used right.

Same for me... gunners really mess things up. But when I have a nade or 2, it's no problem. :)

Heyyo,

The minigun hog is probably one of the weapont most affected by this horrible netcode of HaloPC. To use it right, you must shoot BEHIND the guy. I thought of this one day, cause the hog is moving fast eh? so your comp will then be shooting a milisecond slower than where the hog is moving, so I found out if you shoot behind where the guy's moving to, and the opposite direction of where your hog's going, you can mow them down easy. So let's say the guy's straffing to his right, your hog's moving left, aim behing the guy on your right by aboot an inch or 2, and once you hear the beep of pain, you now know how to use the minigun hog efficiently. ;)

Heyyo,

I've beaten the crap outta many people, I don't keep track of names very well, so you never know if I've played against ya. If you ever play against "æ ThE_MarÐ" then yeah, I might've given you a hard time with me and my knoweldge of how to work around this netcode. :)

Assuming you have full halo pc...

Well, you can edit the gametypes to include OR exclude fuelrodguns, so if one happens to be lying around, its fair game.

Oh, and for every 7 cool people you meet online, there's always ONE idiot who sends a flame into a perfectly good forum.
