It's an illogical opinion. Stop blindly ignoring the games flaws. The guy who posted that video had no reason to lie about the game being played over LAN. Do you think people would really be that desperate to show that this game has bullet registration issues? What incentive is there for people to do that?
What incentive is there for him to complain about a single kill in a game played over LAN with a few friends? I personally think he's desperate to show that this game has bullet registration issues, in which case it could just be a game played over Live.
It's also easy to tell that the game is on LAN based on the first kill he gets, and how quickly his shots register. That's either LAN, or the best internet connection ever. Even if that video wasn't over LAN, it still doesn't excuse occurrences like this being present in the game.
True, true. But did you ever wonder what happened to the second player after he was shot? My guess is about two or three seconds later he took damage from the shot, not headshotted, he was hit in the shoulder first so it wouldn't of counted as a headshot. This means the other guy wasn't notified of any kill but it's likely that he got an assist out of it. It's likely that the first guy lived in the same country/county/state as the player and therefore connected fine so all bullets registered, the second player was likely from overseas and as a result he sponged the shot.
It's like trying to compare who is better between Kobe and Lebron. It's fact that Kobe is better, and historically, but some will think that it's opinion and and try to argue.
Who are Kobe and Lebron?
I'm pretty sure that's what I said. You also stated as if those are the ONLY two, which is false. Also, by saying this, you just supported why Scorpions are not on Default Valhalla.
Yes, Valhalla has very little cover and so for a Scorpion it would be very easy to simply sit at one side, safe behind the middle line and hold that side, he could even go as far as to put a lock on the Pelican and Radio Tower and with two scorpions, no one would be able to cross the middle line. On Coagulation, there was no high mound that was big enough to completely shield one side and so the Scorpion was always prone to Rockets, Grenades and other vehicles. Plus due to the small hills and paths on the map it is quite easy for a player to hide but a Scorpion is simply too big and will always be spotted.
You also supported why Halo 2 Vehicles were horribly unbalanced for Coagulation and would be even worse for Halo 3 (Hmmm, hence why people complain about Warthogs on Standoff). The reason why Blood Gulch was so loved was because of the balance between being in a Vehicle and being on foot after the spawn. But, you don't understand that fact, and I doubt you will ever understand.
Sometimes it is harder to break control on one map than another. Different maps have different levels of control that can be taken and broken. If you are complaining about the Warthog on Standoff and Coagulation then why did you let them take so much control of the map in the game you were playing?
Typically, at the start of the game, you have one player go for Camo and Rockets and then Laser, the other three hold down the middle of the map. If your Camo guy is good enough, he should be able to switch his BR out for the Laser and retreat to the top of the Base, then the opponents have their Warthog lasered and you are two points up. If you were unable to do this, then why? It's likely that your support team mates didn't have the BR skills neccessary to hold down the middle of the map, the opponents charged and took the Laser and now have the control with their Hog.
Now if this happens you likely be pinned down in the base but you will always have three options:
1. Wait for the Camo and Rockets to Respawn to eliminate the Warthog
2. Use the Power Drain and Stickies in the base to eliminate the Warthog
3. Use the Plasma Pistol and Stickies in the base to eliminate the Warthog
After this it is a matter of disarming the Laser guy so you can get your Warthog up. But you likely don't understand that flow of gameplay either right?
Two steps ahead...
Oh, you're one of those people, biased towards Vehicles. Someone who likes the only map that didn't work for Halo 2, because of how badly you can control every aspect of a game on that map no matter who you play. But, by your opinion that means the loser sucks, right? LOL.
If you are able to control every aspect of a game no matter who you play. You are obviously the best team in the Halo world. A skilled team will always present a challenge, likely they'll be using the same tactics and will be able to perform them even better. It doesn't mean the loser sucks, it just means that they were weaker in that game. :)
Either way, your experience with Halo:CE is lacking, and you continue to support your ideas with complete nonsense. At least you're keeping this discussion entertaining. Too bad it has to come to an end.
I support my ideas with nonsense? Well the fact that I've supported every one of my ideas with common sense makes it seem otherwise. And are you sure you are finding it entertaining? You seem to be getting stressed out. Calm down just a bit, it's not me you are fighting, it's my ideas and ability to fend off four people simultaneously.
Personally I think the 4 vs 1 thing is a little unfair though. :)
lol, I haven't used a scorpion on H1 for awhile but I would assume it's harder to drive when reversing with the turret facing backwards. Even if it's not there is still a wide angle open to anyone who can flank the scorpion which if it acts aggressively won't be difficult to do at all on a map like blood gulch. If the scorpion sits back it is far less effective and therein lies the balance. On the assumtion that it is harder to drive facing backwards it will also be vulnerable to grenades which in halo 1 are quite powerful. So in halo 1 your success depended upon strategy, decisions and ability more than "I'm in a scorpion I AM INVINCIBLE! Uh oh Laser, maybe not." Likewise with warthogs in halo 3, you have to stick the thing twice usually to take it out and often when you flip it it rights itself anyway, the only truly reliable means is the laser or missile pod (rockets in confined areas), again 'rock, paper, scissors'.
Personally I found driving the Scorpion Tank backwards fairly easy, it's like driving any Vehicle backwards, you just have to get a feel for it. In any case you make out like the laser is the only thing that can kill you and you blindly state that Halo 1 depends on strategy, decisions and ability while in Halo 3 where is is far easier to kill a Scorpion with a wider range of weapons, vehicles and now equipment than in Halo 1. If you really think that having four options to defeating a skilled driver whilst in Halo 3 we now have nine options, including one option with homing and not including equipment. You are sadly mistaken.
Your the one who acts condescendingly even though you are dealing with people who have more halo experience than you, are probably better than you at halo 3 and don't act in a condescending manner toward you unless provoked.
Actually I believed it has always been you guys that have started the condescending conversations rather than me. If I remember correctly it begun with...

I find it amusing that you attempt to patronize me even though I am the one with a 50.
In which case I didn't provoke you and you still acted condescendingly. On top of that, it doesn't matter about skill or experience, it's about common sense. Please don't accuse me of acting condescendingly when you are the one who started it and are trying to keep it going.
