Its not cheating, or semi-cheating??? The RL is so slow on firing rate that if they miss the first shot they should not get a second shot. If you can use the RL efficiently then there is skill involved, no matter how annoying it gets. I honestly hate the rocket launcher because of its massive kill potential, and the way some people only use it becuase they have no pistol skill. So I pick it up just so no one else can. I only use it if I know I can kill someone with no mistakes, otherwise i have out the pistol or the SR. The best way to avoid death is wait for him to fire then JUMP left or right, but jumping has saved my butt many times. Then, get in real close for the kill because only an insane person will kill themselves to take you out. Good luck!!!

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

your friend obviously has no halo skills, so he takes the easy way out and uses the most powerful weapon

you don't need much skill with RL. just eyes

I dont know if you could call it cheating, must be boring to play like that. I love grabbing every different weapon and just messing around with them, even needlers, bless 'em.

If thats how he wants to play, so be it. Just think of the skill you will gain playing him, trying to figure out ways to beat him with it.

I wouldnt play like that, I guess its a little cheap, but you and I both know it takes more skill to beat somone with a RL. Maybe learning to beat him with it and gloating constantly when you do will have him stop? Who knows, maybe you just need to find someone else who plays for fun and not just to get the most kills.

Of course it's not cheating, but a good way to stop him/her doing it is to tell him/her that it is!
Worked for me when I kept getting my arse kicked on blood gulch playing Crash And Bash.
See yall.




P.S. Crash And Bash is my cool new Halo deathmatch.

Opinions are like arseholes - everybody has one.

Knowledge is knowing Tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

There is no such thing as a bad decision, only good decisions based on flawed information.

There's only one way to defeat an annoying tactic and that is to employ the most annoying of them all: Camping. Find yourself a Sniper Rifle (or SR, if you like), and find a place which is quite well hidden but with a good view of a well used part of the level (lvl?). Then simply put a bullet in the head of anybody stupid enough to walk into your sights. Refuse to stop until (s)he agrees to use the Rocket Launcher (RL) in moderation. I have an unwritten rule in my games and that's only use the Rocket Launcher (RL) and the Scorpion's main cannon against vehicles. That doesn't mean that somebody has to be in it at the time though!

The -blam!- you don't. Have you ever tried hitting someone that isn't right next you? It requires a -blam!-load of lead and quite a bit of cunning.

He already said his friend was aiming at his feet, that's the first step in developing skill.

All the weapons in the game take skill to be used properly. The rocket launcher is just more forgiving of aim at close range.

It seems that he is very stupid using the same weapons every time. If I'm correct then it's impossible to start with the RL and the pistol (on xbox in Blood Gulch) wich meens that he can't use the RL and pistol all the time cause it's lying in the middle of the map and you'll be spotted if you take it. It seems that you are better than him and he is just some stupid guy that just want alot of frags no matter what but why don't you have the skill to avoid his rockets?!? Besides the RL Isn't an easy weapon no weapons in Halo are and none of them are noob weapons it's the way to use them that can be quite unfair or noobish...
