Why do all I see on internet vids and forums that people playing lone wolves are noobs, and hear "use a proper gun" etc etc? I am a 39 in Lone Wolves, which I know is nothing to write home about but, since playing 35+ realistically, you have to adapt and use the appropriate weapon for any situation, the higher levels usually winning the games may frustrate you using a mauler or assault rifle but the people who insist on using a BR every time are usually the ones swearing afterwards after finishing last. I'm sorry but I'm sick of being called a noob by people for using an assault rifle over a BR in some situations, e.g. seeing on the motion sensor someone coming round a corner and having no frags for a one shot. Is it just me who is sick of seeing all the "BR is the only gun worth using" mentality? Each playlist requires a different skill set and for me it ruins the game when after winning a game you are called a noob and you dont deserve that level for simply using a gun other than a BR. By the way please dont come on flaming that im terrible for having a 39 etc because being honest you would only be proving my own argument correct realistically

Half of the time I'm dead serious.
The other half not so much.

Um I never used the battle rifle in Halo 3, I always used the assault rifle. And I managed to get 42 in lone wolves before intentionally deranking myself to level 23 in order to get a mongoose splatter and a double kill with a spartan laser (I got them both).

well done on the achievements then, I really should have got them when I was on the lower levels and I don't want to be deranking as it's taken a while to get to 39, at least I'm not the only one who can see its usefulness on the smaller maps etc

Yeah it can be used effectively. I honestly hated the BR and am glad that it's gone in Reach. Good riddance.

With proper management you can easily get double kills rather than trading beat downs, you are gaining a kill on the competition by doing so yet I'm sworn at for being a noob, some people do ruin the game, hopefully I'll hit 40 soon

Well good luck then!

Keep it up, ignore what they say. You're not a "noob" just because you know how to use a wider arsenal of weapons. Have fun ranking up!

thanks for the replies guys, I've just hit the 40 on Lone wolves, whenever guardian comes up I think, this is my map, not sure how much further I can progress because I'm now coming across some legitimately good players, tool of destruction was melee for most players so it goes to show you don't have to be a BR god to get a decent rank, thanks again for the support

You're a scrub if you don't do what it takes to win the game and instead bind yourself to imaginary rules like 'I can only use the BR.' Use the weapons on the damn map. If there are dual spikers on the map somewhere, well they're there for a reason; they're a good idea for that situation. Style points do not count towards your rank.

My best tip for you would be to 'mute all' and do your thing.

If I get killed by the same person a bunch of times with 'noob weapons,' I don't think 'what a -blam!- noob, I think, hmm, that was smart and it is working for him, why don't I try that?'

Just look at any 50's top two weapons of destruction. Have you ever seen a 50 with the AR as his most used weapon? Of course not.
