Subject: Why do people think it's a good idea when....

They refuse to get in the HOG on standoff even though it's clear the hog works because were getting the -blam!- kicked out of us by the enemy hog.

They take the hog for themselves as transportation even though their teammates are all around them wanting to get in the turret.

Why doe bungie think it's a good idea to start with AR's on a huge map like vallhalla? Were just going to get our face shot off the second we get caught without a BR.

Why do people always need to have control of the bottom room on snowbound? They just go in there to die but keep at it. I say let them have that room.

Why does nobody veto standoff yet they always complain about how bad it is?

Why can't we choose plasma rifles and other weapons to start out with in custom games?

When you entire team can't find the enemy is just standing around with their thumb up their ass doing nothing but dying.

People who join a game but don't play. Is it because they're scared to lose EXP?

more to come...

Why does team duals exist, the weapons only work at point blank.

Why people just run around there own base playing "defense" in team slayer.

Why the sword never works. You slice the guy and hear, see and know the swords went through his torso but he doesn't die!

all this stupid, easily avoidable -blam!- is why I quit so much.

more to come...

When shooting someone 3 times with a sniper with perfect connection doesn't kill him.

when half a clip of BR and a beat down doesn't kill the -blam!-

....Why the hell am i still playing this game?!

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

i hate standoff,sandtrap and sandbox but people never veto it

i was doing great in turret on standoff and teamate shot at me with a rocket on purpose(booted :]_) and then when the warthog respawned i got in turret again and teamate drove off the edge purposely

it ended up in a 3v8 game and now reminds me never to use the warthog

Those people are selfish idiots.

Valhalla has 7 BRs on both sides of the map (14 BRs in total) and they spawn very quickly. It's not that hard to get your hands on one, unless you are constantly dying...

Why do people always need to have control of the bottom room on snowbound? They just go in there to die but keep at it. I say let them have that room.
What? Your questions and answers are totally biased. Controlling the bottom room keeps the other team from using that route so that you'll know where they're coming from. Sounds to me that you're just pissed your teammates kept dying, not because you couldn't control the map.

Why does nobody veto standoff yet they always complain about how bad it is?
Standoff is built for objective, not slayer. I veto Team Slayer on Standoff every time. I have no idea what you're talking about. You're generalizing way too damn much.

Why can't we choose plasma rifles and other weapons to start out with in custom games?

When you entire team can't find the enemy is just standing around with their thumb up their ass doing nothing but dying.
This doesn't even make sense... So, they can't find the enemy, yet they can't seem to stop dying? Hrm, you didn't seem to think this one through.

People who join a game but don't play. Is it because they're scared to lose EXP?
In ranked, they're called derankers, but the derankers now are pretty actively forcing you to lose by dying a lot, not just standing still. In social, they're usually just not there because something came up in their real life.

more to come...

Why does team duals exist, the weapons only work at point blank.

Yes, it sucks, but the only time I ever see it get not vetoed is when I get paired up with a bunch of low ranks or people that actually like playing it. The pistol works pretty well at medium-range if you're good with it.

Why people just run around there own base playing "defense" in team slayer.
Perhaps they're trying to find a particular weapon? Maybe they're looking for somebody that they saw a moment ago? Maybe they're just new to the game and wanted to explore the base? Geez, you really hate people, don't you?

Why the sword never works. You slice the guy and hear, see and know the swords went through his torso but he doesn't die!
It works fine for me, except on rare occasions. If you hear the slice and he doesn't go down, it means you're off-host. It registered on your screen, as signified by the slicing sound, but on the host's screen, you missed. You can't really do much about it, so get just over it.

all this stupid, easily avoidable -blam!- is why I quit so much.
Ragequit, much? If it's so easily avoidable, why can't you seem to avoid it? Oh, and thanks for quitting on your teammates. I'm pretty sure the 8 minutes that they're going to have to spend getting spawnkilled or dominated sure are great.

more to come...

Off-host.

when half a clip of BR and a beat down doesn't kill the -blam!-
Off-host.

....Why the hell am i still playing this game?!
Because you seem to derive some kind of sick pleasure from getting pissed at it, your teammates, the host system, and ragequitting.

Did that about cover it?

My First Halo 3 Modder

1. Because they don't want to get blown up by the laser, powerdrained, stuck, tipped over with a brute shot, plasma pistol'd, etc.
2. Cuz they're cool like that.
3. Agreed, some maps need BR starts no doubt
4. If they're in the lead, you have to push eventually.
5. Because people would rather have BR start on a garbage map than garbage starting weapon on a decent map.
6. Yes...
7. Deranking in ranked, busy in social are common reasons
8. Why do team rockets exist?
9. Maybe they're waiting for a weapon to come up, or being smart and aren't rushing like a crazy nooblet?
10. Happens occasionally.
11. Host issues, my friend.
12. Once again, host.
13. Because its the only game worth playing.

This is about 20 minutes I'll never get back. Have a nice day.
