Nobody is going to argue with me? My posts weren't that spectacular.

Or maybe they were just so horrible that there's no point in arguing. :c

But yeah, Crispyham, your posts have been rather point-deficient...
the point was just to show the ar is not as worthless as ppl think it is. thats it.


You should learn to read.

COMPARED TO THE RIFLES, THE AR IS USELESS.

How many times does it have to be told to you before it fits into your head?
please tell me where i typed that ar wouldnt lose to rilfes. please tell me.

Please just stop for everyone's sake.

The AR is not useless since you can kill with it.
You must be bad since you died to it right?

I'm -blam!- smart.

Btw, that was sarcasm if you didn't realize.

i said "please tell me where i typed that ar wouldnt lose to rilfes. please tell me."
notice that bold part. trying to equate the statment i made about the ar killing in general to the above statment is not the same. you do know the difference right?

I just don't know anymore.

Normally, I would have read crispyham's first post then just given up. But his posts are so insanely stupid that each time I read them, I become a little bit dumber. Then when he makes another post, I don't realise what a bad idea it is to read it. On the cycle goes.

At this point I think I need to go through primary school again.

Maybe I like a game where you actually need to pick up other weapons. I rarely see anybody do that when I play DMR starts. Am I just getting matched up with the wrong people?


You still need to pick up other weapons in DMR Starts.

I honestly don't think that I've ever seen one member of a message forum poop on himself as much as this crispyham person has.

This theory that 'you can kill with the AR so it's not a worthless weapon' is borderline retarded.

If I pick up a Plasma Repeater and charge, spray and melee at the end I'm going to kill someone just as I would with the AR. And if I throw a few nades to soften someone up then rush in with either the AR or the Repeater, I'm going to get the kill.

Now what does the above paragraph suggest about each weapon?

1) they both promote retarded game play (ie: nade spamming and the charge/spray/melee trash)
2) they're about equally worthless
3) I can clean up kills with the Repeater just like I can with the AR

Now since when has the Plasma Repeater become worth a -blam!- in MM? Because according to this kid, the PR must be as worthwhile as the AR, lulz

I can finally post a response to this thread. :D

I like AR starts because I don't like DMR starts. It's not that I'm bad with the DMR - even though I am - it's because I find it so, so boring and repetitive.

The few times I play DMR starts, nobody switches weapons. Nobody needs to. One time I got somebody who passed up the Sniper and when I asked them why, they said they "didn't need it".

What. I was probably just playing with an idiot, but what. Not even the other team picked it up!

Not to mention, I choose AR starts because I can. Why do I pick Armor Lock after I go on for five minutes saying why it sucks? Because I can. Why do I pick Hologram when it's virtually useless? Because I can. Why do I shoot my teammates when they've done nothing wrong? Because I can. Why do I Yoink your Assassination? Because I can. Because I find it entertaining. That's why I play the game - to be entertained. I don't find it entertaining when everybody has the Swiss Army Gun.


He was a bad player, along with the others. At the bare minimum you can cross map someones shield off then switch to the DMR (most MLG guys even do this) for an easy headshot if you aren't good with Snipes.

I'd LOL in the lobby, in an inbox, or in the game at any fool that didn't at the absolute least pick up Snipes just so someone else didn't get it on the other team.

check out my fileshare for a my original CCS class Covenant battlecruiser for your machinima needs!

I also have invasion and crazy king maps, check it out.

we like it because it gives us another reason to pick up new weapons, have u guys heard of a plasma pistol or plasma repeater, I actually heard of thing called a needler and grenade launcher. I get tired of using the same old easy DMR, it takes more skill to kill with other weapons, especially when facing a DMR user.

THe AR us must "follow" the target while maintaining optimal spread with a limited clip, while the DMR u just have to have choppy aiming (not that I do) but it allows for sweep shots and allows you to aim only for the body which is totally easy and then one headshot which is really lame in my books, THat one headshot is equal to a needler explosion/8 AR shots/melee ect. Not to forget that it has a scope and no projectile fuse and is super accuarate with a clip capacity to kill 15 unshielded enemies or 3 spartans pre TU, now 4 spartans.

If they don't suck it at first, just thrust and thrust til they do

OP, I think I have an answer.

In short, bad players like AR starts because it lowers the skill gap and allows for easier kill trading (which is what they want since their KD is below 1).
.


so you know for a fact that i like the AR more than the DMR. You do realize you formulated a stereotype right there. Try re-wording you sentence a little and i won't bother you about your post.

i admit i am a terrible player but my fav. weapon is the DMR and i always try to have one handy so that i may improve my skill with it.

PS. please don't speak on behalf of a group of players who you yourself are clearly not associated with.

If people dont like the DMR/BR/Pistol then plz stop playing halo. One gun Gameplay has been here since halo CE from the pistol to the DMR. The AR has always been nothing more than a melee enhancer and is useless by itself. If 343 were smart, they make the BR or whatever the precision weapon in halo 4 is what u START off with in ALL gametypes.

so what your saying is that the DMR has a gradual learning curve (for those who will lolwut at that it means hard to learn easy to master or become skilled with it) as opposed to the other weapons steeper curves? If so then i can see where you are trying to get at. In some sense i agree that mastering the grenade launcher for example can take longer than mastering the rifle.

I cannot explain how or why people like AR starts, because that's personal preference. Instead, I shall explain AR starts in general.

When the gametype is chosen, and the game starts, you spawn with an Assault Rifle and a Pistol. The end.

There is a bit of a difference between bad players that aren't trying to get better (ie: players who pick AR starts to avoid the DMR) and players who are bad, but are trying to get better (you, using the DMR).

Now you're confusing AR starts as DMR starts.
