Subject: AR starts on countdown.

Fancy joining a group, but don't wan't people too obsessed and serious? Want a group where messing around is a given?

DO YOU WANT TO BE A NINJA?

Then I have three words for you. Team Flying Ninja

Alternatively, add me and we will be happy to tell you about ourselves.

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.


I never said you did, hence the "if". I'm sorry but my only reply to that is simply suck it up. It's funny, the people who prefer AR starts (for whatever reason) hardly ever complain about DMR starts. I personally prefer AR starts, despise Slayer with a passion, enjoy being the driver, will give up the banshee if someone asks, and will quite happily be the person to spam grenades at a warthog, taking deaths, just to ensure the damn thing dies.

Funny that you don't hear much complaint from people like me, isn't it.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

Why do people vote for this?

:(


I've seen complainers for the AR starts. I've seen complainers for the DMR starts. It just never ends.

AR starts are to give the noobs/newbs a chance. You sorta got make some concessions.

It doesn't really matter on that map since there are DMR pickups everywhere.

It's only good for getting you assists and making you frustrated.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

You should do better at AR starts, all you need is a DMR to pwn everyone using an AR.

EDIT: Oh, and for the record? Yes I'm being an asshat, but you have no linked account, therefore your opinion does mean less, as I cannot view your preferences, playstyle or results.


Pro Tip:
When viewing users with no account.
Assume they are better you in every possible way.

You'll be correct about 90% of the time.é

AR start: you get an advantage when you pick up something (ex: DMR give you better range, rocket give you instakills)

DMR start: everybody start with a precision weapon and the only pickups worth it are power weapons

Above average players usually vote for it hoping they can beat me with Shotgun and Sword.

Is that supposed to be a negative?

Do you realize how much of a disadvantage you get when you have to waste time looking for a useful ranged weapon when all of them are in use by your enemies?

Just a suggestion: Get better with the AR. Not saying your bad, but if you just write the gun off, then you won't do so well in AR playlists.

But if you learn to use it correctly, you have an advantage over everyone else who voted, at the start of the match.

Just my thoughts.

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?

People realize that the only way they can even have a remote chance of winning is to tip the map/gametype in their favor in the form of massive amounts of luck and idiot-proof weapon sandboxes.

You already do have an advantage over everyone in AR starts.

It's the Pistol.

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

Maybe it's in my head, but the pistol seems very connection-dependent to me. I get a stupid amount of bloodshots on enemies' heads on my usual bad connection.

Got a DMR sitting at ToD in every game type .... are you still going to call me a booster?

We shouldn't have to suck it up when scrubs that want to spray ARs and beatdown with bleedthrough all game can do just that with DMR starts as well (AR as the secondary weapon).

The only reason scrubs pick AR starts is because they're dead halfway through their charge, spray and beatdown cycle after soaking up 5 DMR shots to the dome.

We shouldn't have to play like retards (about all AR starts promotes) because they want to play like retards. If anything every game type should be DMR/AR start combos and the Pistol should be a pick up.

AR Starts on countdown

>You still get pistols
>People want shotgun/sword/concussion
>Go pick up a DMR/NR if you're so mad bro. It's just outside of spawn.
>Newer players don't know about pacing their shots. AR is pull the trigger and hold in the direction.
>What's that Lassie? Those new kids should learn how to use a DMR? Well if they play DMR constantly they will get better but most would have dropped out by being dropped near instantly by better players due to the massive skill gap you can have in games.

  • 01.12.2012 10:51 PM PDT

Hmmmm, Oh, hello!

They're either newer players, or the weakest link of player who cant can't aim for Bantha Fodder. Simple as that, play with a team and get over it.
