or the person with the faster aim who can land all their shots before the other person can?

That's called spamming, bro.


Yes...? What the -blam!- is your point, if you even have one?

Everyone is complaining about spamming, while ZB makes spamming easier. It's the same "I saw you first!" routine that the BR created. There is no counter to it in an honest DMR 1v1.

The complaint is with people 'spamming' shots at each other and for one person to kill the other simply because of luck. ZB removes the luck factor.

Holy -blam!- it's not a difficult concept.

WTF WHY DOES A BRAND NEW PLAYLIST HAVE 100% BLOOM, ARMOUR LOCK AND SWORD BLOCK.


Solution: Grab Sniper
- No bloom
- Can't get sword-blocked
- If somebody armor lock blocks your shot, they outskilled you. Or you suck.

Repeat until sick of it, and switch to one of the many TU playlists

How would you feel about implementing something to disable spamming? instead of simply removing the luck factor, and leaving the spam problem the way it is.

WALL OF SHAME-Posting stupidity since 2010

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

this game does need sword block though, sprinting sword man is just stupid, there is no counter unless he happens to be a 1 shot or you have rockets/sniper/shotgun, any other time, its just certain death


If you can't control Sword, you should die.

If you can't control niether Shotgun/Concussion/Rockets or ANY other power weapons NOR can you kill the Sword wielder through teamwork, then you DEFINITELY don't deserve a crutch such as Sword Block. It doesn't belong in this game.
Sword doesn't belong in a game with sprint.

You can't make everything our fault because of lack of teamwork or skill. It doesn't take much to camp behind a corner and wait for a red dot to appear on your radar.

AR's on Breakpoint


Sounds like Shishka is in charge of MM again.
I honestly would not be surprised.

Er, there is absolutely no problem with 'spamming' when bloom is removed, are you thick?

I aim to please.

Is Squad DLC slayer only?

If yes, then 343 is doing it wrong. Who wants to play slayer on Breakpoint or Highlands? Where is Invasion Breakpoint and CTF Highlands?

Im actually quite slender, and rather well educated. Dont be an ass.

I personally feel there is an issue with zb spamming something called a "marksmans rifle". Its a silly notion that one would be able to blast bullseye after bullseye after bullseye on a moving target, whilst they are also moving. (This goes for the sniper rifles lack of bloom as well. 52 caliber and no effect on aim post-shot? LOLOLOL)

Halo 3 had a great recoil system for reducing spam with the SMG, you dont think it could have a valid application with the DMR? perhaps removing the bloom and instating said upthrust on the gun if you fire too quickly?

Ive always been the kind of gamer that likes to get to know a game better as i play it; in this case, i am referring to getting myself to a decent proficiency level with weapons as they were designed, and mastering 'the game' as it has been laid out for me to play. (I believe we call this casual gaming, something a few people around the world do sometimes.)

PS, no need to resort to ad-hominems bro, i am here to discuss a game's mechanics with you. there is not need to -blam!- on each other's character for having differing opinions about digital representations of fictional weaponry. Its just getting a little low-brow for me.

Or you could just kill sword bro before he reaches you. He is COMPLETLY defenseless until he gets close.

If you're talking about ZB then there is no such thing as "spamming". There is a set rate of fire. You'd be retarded if you paced your shots in a ZB gametype. If you aren't talking about ZB, my apologies.

  • 01.12.2012 11:35 AM PDT

I know youre not talking to me, but i like your post.
I agree with you on the set rate of fire, its true. but i see the gun on screen recoiling/making fire/moving/etc as i am firing shot after shot and there is never an effect on my ability to shoot precisely. I am personally against that kind of gameplay in this game. it makes me feel too super-heroic. lol

I do well in zb, dont get me wrong, so this isnt a mad cause bad thing. i just dont like the idea of being able to "spam" (as its technically not spam, as you pointed out). I feel it takes away from the beauty of marksmanship and patience.

Inb4 ur bad, play mlg kid, etc. i do all of those things and love them.
