Subject: AR starts on countdown.

Why do people vote for this?

:(

Because they want to play it?

People tend to pick their most favored choice in the pre-game lobby.

Or is that not how it works?

I'm watching you.

As is the case with most voting systems, that's what they wanted.

How can someone possibly like AR's on Countdown?

How can someone possibly have different likes/dislikes than you? It's mind-boggling!

I don't see this as a serious question, so I'll answer with a not-so-serious answer.

You see, there is a stork, and when a mommy and daddy...

Wait... Wrong story.

People like different things than others. That's life. Full of people who disagree. For example, I can't believe people eat mayo, or I can't believe that people live in this day and age without accepting others for what they like or dislike, or I can't believe its not butter.

Here's why:

1) 95% of those that play this game are trash, and unable to effectively use a DMR
2) It's a party of Living Dead kids outside their super hardcore playlist, lol
3) Why try to use the ridiculously difficult DMR to get a 5 shot kill when you can just spray your AR at anything that moves, while charging, and get the bleedthrough beatdown at the end? Who cares that you'll probably trade kills every time!
4) Because melee mashing in Halo: Reach is as close to Street Fighter 2 as they can get.

Take your pick?

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100
where a > b = d > c

Outvoted 7 to 1 for AR starts on Countdown.

The voting system needs to be removed. I'm sick of playing AR starts on Pinnacle or Elite Slayer when there's a perfectly good DMR option.

Any of you crying about AR starts really need to get a grip.

1) It's a game. It really doesn't mean enough to warrant your attitudes.
2) If you're disliking AR starts, please use your -blam!- brains and remember that most maps are filled with DMR and NR drops. So hush. Don't like the AR? Swap it out.
3) Look, either the DMR is the better weapon or it isn't. If it is, then you shouldn't be losing to AR-tards. If it isn't, THEN USE THE -blam!- AR.

1. I play games for enjoyment. I don't enjoy playing mindless AR starts. I'd say it easily warrants complaining about it.

2. I don't want to have to go hunting for a gun off spawn when I can spawn with it. The DMR isn't a power weapon; anyway, don't you also spawb with an AR on DMR starts? There is no need for sole AR starts.

3. DMR has a larger skill gap than the AR. I prefer to use a weapon where my ability governs its power. The AR barely has this.

There really is no reason for AR starts to exist. Especially if you get an AR as a secondary off spawn in DMR starts.

1) So do I. I'll play what I get.
2)Yet if you get one of the reduced amounts of DMR's dotted around the map, that makes you superior in the game, no?
3) My point still stands.

If you spawned with both an AR and DMR you would have just as much of an advantage as having to pick a DMR up,.because the people who would normally vote AR starts would just use their AR.
Just because you enjoy all the gametypes doesn't mean everyone else does.

No truer words were ever said.

"OMG OUTVOTED"
-Never when you control a whole team.

"OMG SOMEONE KILL THE SNIPER"
-Have a team? Job done.

"OMG ARMOR LOCK"
-Back the -blam!- up and call a teammate.

"OMG ROCKETS"
-Say so, and everyone mobs them.

If you do not run with a team, you have no excuse conplaining about ANYTHING on this game. EVERY problem gets so much lessened when you run with a team.

I wasn't going to go down the K/D route, I hate that argument. I was more going for the playlists / games played route, to explain the weightings.

My point about the power of the DMR when compared with the AR still stands perfectly. If the DMR is so good, you shouldn't be losing to people with AR's. If the DMR is bad, then you shouldn't be using the DMR.

Even if you use the argument of "I out-DMR someone, then get AR'd to death by someone else", it still stands that you probably would have died anyway whether they had an AR or a DMR.

Well to be fair not everyone has friends online 24/7. If it really bothers them though there are plenty of communities online that'll game with them at any time. Just takes searching on their part, which unfortunately turns off a lot of casual gamers.

Anyway, yea playing with a party is definitely the way to go in Reach. I don't understand how anyone searches solo. Randoms are frustratingly awful in this game. You can't depend on random teammates unless you play MLG where (most of the time) everyone already knows what to do.

Where did I ever state anything like that? I have no problem killing AR'ers with a DMR. The issue is I don't like being forced to spawn with the inferior starting weapon.

  • 01.12.2012 2:54 AM PDT

I accept there are AR starts in the playlist.

There were AR starts in Halo 3.

It's not a big deal. Pick up a DMR somewhere.

Or plead your case in the lobby.
