Subject: Can YOU Consistently 3 Shot in Halo PC?

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

I try. I really try to tell the kids in the Reach Forum that the Pistol in Combat Evolved was only deadly in the hands of a player that was deadly with it. You can say that with most games I guess, but the Pistol really made the skill gap in CE quite large.

"Pistol is OP. Three head shots your deadz! BOOM, BOOM, BOOM! DEAD! OP!" Their implying that any idiot can run around in CE with the pistol and constantly 3 shot players unfailingly, which is very untrue.

So how much skill does it actually take to consistently 3 shot with the Pistol in multiplayer? And as for the netcode that came with Halo PC, is it safe to say that finding your lead in Halo PC and getting 3 shot kills on a consistent basis takes much more skill than say a LAN game of CE on the original box?

If anyone answers something else than "Hell no" when asking if they can 3sk each time, they're lying.

My answer: Hell no.

Getting three shot kills with the pistol online on Halo PC is great. Harder than getting one headshot with the sniper in my opinion. Playing online with a higher ping successfully is most definitely harder than playing on LAN. There's absolutely no argument there. If you don't believe that you haven't played Halo PC online.

I used to be when I was younger. Now I have to eat a sandwich and take a nap after the second shot.

Zing. Just... Just ZING.

And I can only do it once a game, the rest of the time? I'm lucky if it's a four shot kill or a five shot kill. So, to answer your question.

Hell no.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

I get a 3sk every 4 or so pistol kills. Most are about 6-10.

  • 10.18.2011 11:48 PM PDT

I get them pretty often in big servers, actually. There's nothing quite like seeing an enemy drop after a second of firing.

But yeah, maybe around every 4 or so pistol kills.

The pistol and shotgun are my primary weapons.

I can usualy kill in 4-5 shots. Sometimes I get 3.

When I play on a no shields server I can land a perfect headshot if im lucky.

  • 10.19.2011 4:12 AM PDT

one every ten or eleven pistol kils, but i mostly splatter.

  • 10.19.2011 12:26 PM PDT

i consider my pistol shots very accurate, about every 3 or 4 kills with my pisotl from mid range are 3 shot. others are around 5 or 6

i like to run sniper and pistol

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Best way to consistently get 3sks is to shoot center mast then move up to the head. The code of the game seems eager to reward you with a 3sk that way. Shooting 3 shots directly to the head is much harder. Also, don't spray, make each shot count.

  • 10.19.2011 2:26 PM PDT

all the time in pubs. against good players, maybe 2-3 a game, since i suck now. also, frnk is right.

When you say "center mast" where on the body are you referring to? Is it possible that you are referring to the center of the entire body, the center of the upper body, or the chest?

Also, I honestly never knew that you could 3 shot kill in Halo 1 PC. I don't think I could anyways 'cause I sux.

Im a Bungie veteran. I have and always will serve them well.

I can get 3 when the person is running towards me but usually 4-5 other wise. Its all about practice.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Nope, sure can't.

The "Center Mass" is the center of the torso. It's referring to where the mass of an object is focused. For the human body that would be the torso.

I have never been that good at aiming so I only get 3sk against noobs moving in a straight line. My preferred method is to use my experience to predict your movement place a nade under your nuts and finish you off with a single shot.

Wow. I didn't even know it was possible. I may have to boot it up for old times sake. I'm pretty sure I got around 5-8ish shots with the pistol...but it's been so long since I've played CE online. The game box is probably covered in dust somewhere.

Considering how inacurate scoped weapons are in this game, no.

Lol, I don't know what game you're playing, but in the Halo I have been playing for the past 10 years has an extremely accurate Pistol. Maybe it's you're aim. :P

what the -blam!- does that even mean?

  • 11.05.2011 4:10 PM PDT

No. The hit detection is kind of bad for my PC. I can in the console version though.

What's so funny about this? Really. Like you could even get more than 2 3sk kills in a game on Halo PC with more than 60 ping.

  • 11.06.2011 2:42 PM PDT

i'm all day with 200 ping. but i'm a rare and special case. untouchable some would say.
