your idea of gameplay balance literally makes no sense at all
Insult me all you want dude (the pop-up book crack was cute), that doesn't take away from the fact that your arguement is your opinion. Everything I've said is based off of a ton of community feedback and debate. Whether you want to believe it or not i've been in more of these BR threads than day's you've had this b.net account. I've even changed by POV on the subject as time has gone by because of people presenting solid arguements that are backed up by more than their own personal feelings.
Power and effectiveness do not equal balance, that is the bottom line. You want to keep spouting out FPS are predominantly mid-range games, but Halo wasn't like that until the BR came about, so you tell me was the BR balanced for Halo, or has Halo been changed to suit the BR?
Keep taking shots at my "flawed logic", most of what you say shows very little experience and very little insight to anything outside of your scope of preference.
the fact alone that you cannot recognizer this as an alt account shows you have limited knowledge of the working of these forums
but Halo wasn't like that until the BR came about,
like clockwork this point always comes around and shows where your faulty logic spouts from
the BR type weapon has been part of halo since day one
period
I'm quite aware it's a second account, I used the comparison because you've had it for 17 days, and i've taken part in more than a few dozen debates on this topic. All you've proved with your remark is that you are still not reading.
Halo has never been about a BR type weapon until the BR was made. Halo CE had a pistol, which wasn't a BR type weapon. It was a single shot weapon that could outshoot the sniper, and actually required aiming and did not allow for sweeping or spray and pray. Can't really call it a mid-range weapon when (for whatever reason) it was effective at all ranges.
In regards to your shots at my skill level and how pointless it is to debate skill with "a major grade 2", your proving more about yourself then you are about me. That is such a typical cop-out response on these forums. All it does is mask that you have no strong counter arguement against the BR being highly used due to it's ease of use, hardly what I would call a skillfull weapon. I didn't say that there is no difference between a skilled BR user and a typical BR user, that is an entirely different arguement all together. What I said was you don't have to be great at Halo to be good with a BR, big difference.
Although it doesn't really matter, the rank has nothing to do with a persons experience, for the record I am a LAN player, I hate xbl Halo because it isn't about skill, it's about exploits and better connections. I know what I know because I spend a lot of time on these forums (workplace boredom) and as mentioned, talked about this subject with several people that have different, well founded opinions.
In regards to naming an FPS that isn't based off of mid-range combat, it's an easy answer, non of them are. The designers can make a game with whatever intent they desire, it's the players that set the tone. If FPS games were made with mid-range as the focus there would be less weapons that excell at short range. I would bet my next pay check that Bungie had no intent of making either Halo2 or 3 to be streamlined BR fests, but that's where the players took it. Halo3 as of now is about mid-range, and once again (for the learning impared) it is that way because of the BR, not the other way around.
Bottom line, your personal shots at me are sad, and take away from you arguement.
you do realise that the HCE pistol had higher auto aim and bullet magnetism than the H3 BR and had a random spread
right?
as far as your the BR is easy to use point....simple response..why are most low ranked players TOD list usually topped by the AR and melee then
if it is an easier weapon to use then the CQC weapons then why do newer players gravitate towards the CQC weapons?
Your splitting hairs dude, easy to use doesn't mean easiest to use. While being a bit harder to use than an AR it isn't as hard to use as a Carbine or a Sniper Rifle. Perhaps easy was the wrong word, but it certainly isn't hard, and I have never felt it to be a skilled weapon. If it was a "skilled" weapon as you say the pool of those that use it would be smaller, making a bigger group relying on the AR. Not to mention a newer player may not be aware of the advantage offered by a BR, as I said, it is a trend set by the players. After awhile many acclimate BR gameplay, which is why it continues to be very popular. We can go in circles about this all day.
I never bolstered the pistols ease or difficulty of use against the BR, I simply stated that the pistol was not a BR type weapon, their effectiveness was totally different in their respective games, which has just as much to do with map design as it does with weapon balance. There is no point continuing this debate with you if your not going to read what i'm actually saying.
