OKay, all u total n00bs complaining about "too many BATTLE RIFLES" can eat a weenier. Just cause ur liek a total n00b and used to go around duel wielding 24/7 are now get pwned cause u can't use 2 bullet hoses can put H2 down and pick up some warcraft cause ur all liek the -blam!- and stuff. rofl lol. The game just requires more skill and u cry babies enjoyed owning wif bullet hoses are now getting pwnzored. rofl lol
My apologies, but I have to heavily disagree. First of all, your method of argument is atrociously childish. Spelling errors, run-on sentences, etc. I do applaud you on forming your own form of idiot code, however. If enemy spies were trying to decipher your message, you have thoroughly confused them. I think the army may have a job for you......
Secondly, the game does not require MORE skill. It requires LESS of an overall skill and MORE of one particular skill now, that being able to snipe. Several aspects of the game that make Halo what it is are now non-existent due to the sheer majority of Battle rifles in the game. For example, shields were introduced into the game so that those who required a split-second more to aim for the head while firing, had that split-second. They had to get through the shields first, anyways. The game was also such a favorite because the game was a much slower-paced one compared to what it is now. Slayer matches run much much faster now, since I can't take 3 steps after spawn without getting BRed to death by people from......who the hell am I kidding, I can't find them until they walk over my corpse.
Quite frankly, I would almost understand a BR start, but they:
1. Put it on just about ANY map, including the very tiny ones! Why?
2. Softened the Plasma RIFLE/ SMG combo in the 1st AU.
3. Decreased the power of the Magnum....which was already no match for the BR.....
4. Softened the SMG in general, and made it less accurate in combos
5. Got rid of Plasma weapons on a large majority of gametypes, so that you have don't have options at range anymore. I'm not talking about the "n00b combo", I'm talking about being able to compete with a battle rifle at medium range to some degree with some sort of Plasma/ human combo.
If you don't believe me on any of those 5 points, they detail them in the numerous updates we've had. And honestly, even after all that, it probably STILL wouldn't be so bad, but we've got a bunch of gametypes that are geared toward Battle Rifle mastery. Like Human gametypes. I don't even get a BR at start to compete with them now! Instead I get the freakin' SMG, and I get to go up against BR fire coming from who-knows-where, along with MORE THAN ONE rocket coming at me, and then some sniper fire to boot. There's really no use in firing at them, chucking grenades, or running for good weapons/vehicles...
It all comes down to how they kept telling us that we'd be able to use a variety of options in-game. They lied. There's only one option: Custom Games. Wow, glad they never gave us the ability to browse custom games, huh? Now I have to play a few games of hell to play a few games of fun.....
