Since the last patch Halo 2 has been really stupid, now that in almost every gametype you start with a battle rifle theres really nothing you can do, i mean you die in 4 hits unless the other person doesnt know how to press the trigger... Seriously why did bungie make you start with a battle rifle? it makes no sense! you cant do anything in the open on coagulation, and you have to use the 'spines' or use the hog on burial mounds! and now that you do start with battle rifles you need to remove the plasma pistol! there really is no reason for a gun that nearly kills you, just grab a pistol and you cant be stopped... and what the heck happened to the shotgun? you can be two feet away and shoot and the bullets dont get anywhere near your target, and when your touching and shoot them in the face half the time it wont break there shield! and that swords lunge range is higher, so theres no stopping it anymore, unless you stick as you die. PLEASE BUNGIE - fix the shotgun, remove the plasma pistol, start us with an smg again!... unless you do something that bungie doesnt believe in, and make the battle rifle take at least 6 bursts to kill! Why must bungie cherish the battle rifle so much? make it never miss? make it so strong!? and make it be the best weapon in both medium, and close range combat... only the sniper can take it out, but you can still hit a sniper untill u can take cover!

AND FIX WARLOCK! theres no point in putting 4 battle rifles on a map that size! make them be an smg, or put a rocket in there! if 1 team all has battle rifles in a slayer, they automatically win.


I suggest bungie replaces that battle rifle with the assault rifle, make it really accurate and fast, but not powerful, and make it 2 handed... and jesus christ do something about cheating, every game theres extra lag and blackscreening on 1 team and you leave feedback and nothing happens...

First off wrong forum buddy. This should be posted in the Optimatch forum.

Second of all, I only agree with your statement about the shotgun. I wish I could have the old shotgun back too.

Lastly, the BR is so powerful because it takes more skill to use than any other weapon besides the sniper. So since it kills you faster it should become a SMG because all you have to do is hold down the right and/or left trigger? This game is about skill level. They give you a BR because it allows you to defend yourself against snipers and other BRs.

Lets make an example. Say your team is getting spawn raped on Coag. Your team only has SMGs, while the other team has both snipers, the rocket, and all of them have BRs. What would be more stupid? To go against this combination of weapons with SMGs or BRs? That's why Bungie changed the gametype.

So what if a guy picked up a plasma pistol, if you and a teamate both concentrate your BRs on him, you'll give him. Even though one of you may die.

The fact is, Halo 2 got a lot more skilled after the patch. And some people that aren't good with the new standards are mad because they can't adapt to the change.

Kind of like survival of the fittest, although I don't believe any of that evolution gibberish.
