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).
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).
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.
