come on think about it, theres always a better gun than most guns in anything... what fun would that be if you just had 10 guns that did the exact thing? I honestly dont like balancing because I love having a little more power than other people.

yes, and i hope it replaces the majority of places where the brute shot wouldve started (most inconsistant weapon ever? yes). and as for those who say it has too many shots, they can just shrink that number to sumthing more reasonable, and even add lock on abilities as well if they wanted. just so long as it dwindles the bs weapon spawns (bs, brute shot. its like bungie knew they were making a terrible gun).

July 15, 2008... The day the timer stood still.

Ok, balance is a good thing (this is for the thread starter) because it doesn't make everyone else more powerful. It's not fun if one person has the most powerful weapon and everyone else is just getting killed with no chance. It's not fun. As for the gun itself. It has too much ammo. It's too powerful if it starts out with 15 shots. And there are a lot of lag issues, which is why they took it out of xbox version. I don't exactly remember, but I know it would be really laggy. It just didn't work.

You obviously misunderstood the Brute Shot. It isn't a long distance weapon so shooting it across the map hoping you will get a kill is not how you use it, and yes I know that is what you did with it. It is a close range weapon with 3 direct shots = a kill. Pretty simple especially when someone is running towards you or in tight spaces where the area effect can give you that edge while you're dodging their shots. Not to mention the 2-hit bayonet that makes it deadly in close-range combat. It's ability to ricochet the grenades off surfaces makes it difficult to run from if you're low on shield. Not to mention that one grenade and a melee is sufficient to defeat any average spartan.
u are absolutely wrong, and asinine for that matter. ive never used it "long range" which, btw, i dont think it even shows up on any bigmaps except for coag. and if it does, i wouldnt know where to find it. why is it i can hit a guy with 4 body shots and it doesnt kill him, yet he hits me around the corner with 2 shots and i die? the answer: lag. the entire power of the brute shot is horribly dependant on your latency, like the shotgun, but worse. plus anybody whos decent only needs one melee with it (hence y u jump-melee).

you can have the fuel rod but when your getting owned as you can never get it and always dieing because of it. dont go complaing to Bungie.

And in halo CE for pc it was just stupid. It took no skill to use, and wont again.

Well that's because the PC version's Fuel Rod Gun was crap. You could fire as many rounds as you wanted until it overheated, and it fired pretty fast too. Halo 2's was different, with only 5 fuel slugs (or was it 4?) for each "clip". That way you would have to reload and the firing was slower too, even if you pulled the trigger multiple times. There was even a 2x scope on it just like the Rocket Launcher's, but I personally prefer the Rocket Launcher. Even though the damage was similar, the rockets usually flew faster than the fuel slugs and the Rocket Launcher had the ability to lock on to vehicles, making it a handy feature.

Actually, the Brute Shot isn't that bad, if you know how to use it. For maps like Coagulation etc, it's not very ideal, unless you're actually inside the bases. Smaller and more close maps would make it an ideal weapon. It's ricocheting ability allows you to shoot around corners. Personally, I hate how it only has about 4 grenades per belt, because you can just pull the trigger too fast and force yourself to reload in less than 5-6 seconds. But the melee capabilites of the Brute Shot and amazing. It's so damn powerful, that I wish the grenade launching itself was easier to use. :p Then it would be the ideal weapon.

I'm sure they could get it in. Just make it have only 15 additional rounds (plus the ones you carry), make it 2 shot kills, and take out zoom (or not).

If they add it, it could be made reasonably balenced, by slowing down the shots. That way it is only good as a long rang artillery weapon (which is what it does best). From one base you could pepper the other with FRG shots, but since they move a bit slower than in campain, you have no definate hit chance.

I noticed the subject was named "The Fuel rod cannon better be in multiplayer... VOTE NOW!!!" if the fuel rod isnt in Multiplayer what are you going to do? Quit Halo alltogether? - lets hope so..

The fuel rod shouldnt be in multiplayer it isnt a balanced weapon and nor should it be it's not even that great if you like it so much play campaign with a friends and fight each other with it.

It should not be in multiplayer.

And it's your connection that's slower than turtle sex.

In........................................................Out .

Yeah, at least you have a chance of dodging rockets, but with Fuel rod guns, your dead 5 times before you hit the ground, in fact, sometimes i face teams on PC so dependant on it, I have to confiscate it, and its respawns. So, please don't put the frg in Halo 3, it'll ruin multiplayer.

  • 06.22.2006 2:16 AM PDT

YES! at least make it a custom game option. it could be a fun change of pace every once in a while. and the FRG is no cheaper than the sword.
