5 vs 1 now? Sounds fun. :)
Just to let you know, no one cares. You brought this on yourself.
Because, people like to complain. It makes them feel bigger than they actually are. If they can't and they are dishonest enough, they lie about it.
This admittedly could have been his motivation, but it's far more likely that he was actually playing on LAN. Despite the fact that I'm sure the poster doesn't hold Bungie in high regards, if he didn't have any legitimate evidence for registration issues he probably would have complained about something else.
Also, that is the only clip on the internet of that happening.
Guess again.
Sadly the majority of MLG feel the need to find problems with everything Bungie does, the only thing I have against Bungie is the slightly messed up spawning system.
I bet that's your justification for every complaint thrown Bungie's way. God forbid anyone have any legitimate complaints.
But I don't complain about it, I know that if I go into matchmaking a consiquence of playing on Standoff or Narrows is that spawn camping is inevitable. I know that and I accept it rather than complaining about it and ruining the game for other people.
Sorry we're somehow ruining the game for you.
By complaining about aspects of the game you just kick the fun out of it,
Part of having fun in Halo 3 is reading Bungie's forums? What?
What is the point of complaining anyway?
What's the point of sucking up to them like you are right now? You aren't going to be getting anything out of it.
It depends what you define consistency as,
As in, the bullets always go in the same place.
I like to think of it as spread + kickback = innaccuracy, but this only happens beyond a certain range. Using all weapons evenly to their effective ranges is the correct way to play Halo, sure, using a Sniper to no-scope is fine. But if you play a whole game by no-scoping with a Sniper then you'll get it taken from you eventually. At such a close range, use an AR or a Shotgun, and at a mid-range use a BR.
The problem is, the BR isn't consistent at medium range. Aiming for the upper chest or neck, the farthest distance at which you can reliably four shot, where the random tendencies will not have any effect, is about 44 meters. That is not by any means medium range.
That's due to the fact that they are playing Halo 2 and Halo CE.
Exactly, they won't see anything wrong with it just because they're fans of those games in particular. Just as how the people in the general Halo 3 forum wouldn't see anything wrong with the current BR.
I think the Halo 2 BR worked very differently due to the hitscan and as a result the H2 BR and H3 BR are very different weapons, the same goes for the different Pistols. If you don't like the way Halo 3 works then play Halo 2 or Halo CE instead, why play a game you don't enjoy?
How about, trying to think up ways to improve the game I play? Play the only game that Bungie currently seems to have any interest in maintaining?
It also matters what is more available to players at the start of the game (e.g weapons nearby). And Halo 3 has the original Halo beat on that.
No, it doesn't. In Halo 3 you spawn with either AR, BR, or M6G. None of those are effective against the Scorpion. In Halo 1, you spawned with Pistol, AR, or Plasma Pistol, all of which were effective to some degree against the Scorpion - not to mention the grenades were significantly more powerful, too.
I agree with you about the lower rate of fire, weaker secondary turret and less armor. But the Primary Turret still had ultimate range and power. If you were hit by the splash damage even a little you'd die instantly. The Halo 3 Scorpion's splash does nearly not as much damage.
Yet the much higher right of fire overcomes this, plus the fact that in Halo 3, the primary turret always shoots straight, so it's much harder for you to miss.
To be honest I don't know if it does have a higher percentage. I'd guess you'd need a similar map from Halo 3 and Halo CE (e.g Avalanche and Sidewinder) and compare percentages of effective weapons on my list to overall weapons on each map, then take into consideration what you spawn closer to in contrast to where the enemy spawns and how much time you had to get the weapons you needed before the enemy Scorpion tank rolled around the corner.
Um, Jiggly already made a list, and he's still right, Halo 1 beats Halo 3.
