Dear Thawmus,
For a total n00b who complained about how i didn't bother to read your post you clearly didn't understand what i said. I didn't say i got owned whenever i ran into someone duel weilding cause i can't hold down two triggers. What i actually said was that i got owned whenever i spawned near someone duel weilding. U only start with one SMG and i had no time to get another weapon. So go back to studying your English text book to make your next post cause i think it's cute how you spell check everything. The only arguement u got is basically "YOUR IGNORANT, I SUCK AT BATTLE RIFLE," and "I WANT DUEL WEILDING BACK CAUSE I SUCK -blam!- WITH ANTHING ELSE." But sorry nvm, i forgot that duel weilding requires some skill like the battle rifle requires "some" skill. However, since ur a total n00b, u said that duel weilding is just holding two triggers down and said that i would have to be pretty stupid not to be able to do that. So explain to me why your not a n00b if u suck wif b rifle but want duel weilding to be over powered again. GG - Stick wif your english literature and grammer classes and gtfo off the forms nerd. TOTAL N00b.
rofl lol so liek go play some Phonics games or something that's more aimed at your capability. and there is no need in your next post to say something liek "I PWN AT PHONICS, UR SO STUPID U LIEK USE ROFL LOL AND SPELL -blam!- 'GHEY' I WOULD PWN U AT PHONICS ROFLLOLOLLOLMOA"
Oh no, I won't say anything to the effect of "I would pwn u at phonics". That's just a blatent fact, and not really worth bragging over. That's like saying I'm awesome at wrestling midgets. Really no point in the phrase at all. I'll leave such childish comments to you, since you're doing so well with them.
First off, I think I've pointed out before that while I would hardly consider myself an expert with the battle rifle, I'm not the worst with it either, and I can usually hold my own. My point was that it is no fun at all. Please explain to me how a battle rifle owner staring at your spawn point is any better than a dual wielder running down your throat when you still spawn with a SOFTENED SMG. Much less more than one rocket launcher owner, or two sniper trails accomodated with rockets and BR fire. Yeah, someone with an SMG-PR combo was SOOOO much worse than THAT scenario, wasn't it? At least you could chuck a grenade at the bastard or melee them to death. Good luck FINDING the little bastard sitting at the top of the level with a BR and RL. When there was one BR owner and one RL owner, at least you could find a way to get inside a confined space, grab some weapons while you are concealed, and jump up behind him. Now the sonuva-blam!- has 3 Battle Rifles watching his back, and usually ANOTHER rocket launcher to boot. Explain to me how that's fun?
Secondly, I don't like one-weapon games. I think I've been pretty straightforward with that. I can't find a post I've made where I didn't make that the -blam!- THEME of the post. So no, I don't like one-weapon games (besides a custom game of rockets every now and then, I mean, who doesn't?), because of the lack of OPTIONS. If I get sick of one aspect of the game, too bad, I have to stick it out and just pray to God I get a different gametype next time. That's ridiculous. For a development company that has talked our ears off for the last month and a half about how they wanted to give us viable options up the ass, they just set us up with a TON of games where you have little options at all. I WANTED BR starts on some games. I REALLY DID. I wanted them for BTB games on Coagulation and Burial Mounds. I didn't want them on Waterworks, because spawn sniping is damn near impossible on that map. You can get out of your own base a million different ways, and ONE sniper has to try and cover all of them? Fat chance, which is why that map needed little to no improvement. Headlong was the same thing. Sure, it was a big map, but sniping was not the strong part of the game, rockets were. The only other map that would still need BR starts is Containment. But no, we have BR starts on BEAVER CREEk, so you have the same range as a SNIPER at all times on the map, and the same goes for the other small maps too. That's stupid. They took requests from people, and then decided to take extra steps to them. Last time I checked, there were only three maps that needed them, but they're on nearly EVERY map now. Not only that, they made games with only HUMAN weaponsets. And it isn't just every once in a while, it's damn near 50% of the time. So now there's more than one rocket in quite a few games, and there's absolutely NO use for the SMG or Pistol. It's still a 3-weapon game: Sniper, BR, and RL. Holding anything else in your hand will get you killed. But gee, it's a big relief from a dual-wielder spawn camping, right? Now you can get blown off the face of the earth with two rockets as soon as you spawn instead of a good 10 seconds of close-quarters fighting. Such an improvement, I agree.......
Thirdly, I never said dual-wielding didn't require skill. It requires a different type of skill, but it takes the same amount of skill to use as a Battle Rifle. I said that it was pretty sad to not be capable of handling two triggers instead of one, since you had made it so blatently public that you were the Battle Rifle God of Halo. My point was that someone who could aim so precisely and quickly should be capable of handling more than one trigger as well. Which is a valid point, regardless if it applies to you or not. And if dual-wielders spawn camp you, as I've said more than once in this post already, you have OPTIONS for taking them out. Get close and perform a jumping melee attack to the head, chuck grenades, duck around a corner, and then jump out just as they try to follow you and melee the -blam!- out of them, shoot them and melee attack them as you get closer. They modified the game so that YOUR melee attack comes out faster in the 1st update. There are plenty of other ways to handle them too. And if you DO have a dual-wielder breathing down your neck, you're not going to handle them any differently with a Battle Rifle. The whole point behind wanting BR starts was to eliminate spawn sniping, not some dual-wielding "n00b" who is stupid enough to breath down MY neck.
Oh, and I think it's cute that you think I spell check at all. Or that I really give two -blam!-s about your lame-ass comments to the effect of "your a ghey n00b". You're a griefer, and I hope to hell that if you talk like that in-game, that people are leaving feedback for your comments.
