RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

Most useless is the Spiker since they actually made its spikes less effective on health than plasma.

Most useless and actually placed on maps is the Plasma Repeater.

No, the Spiker still outclasses it in epicness and style. lol

Plasma Rifle is better than the Repeater and Spiker.

  • 02.06.2012 2:15 PM PDT

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

Most useless-Plasma rifle

Most powerful-Shotgun, rockets, sniper, grenade launcher, grenukes

Better than the Spiker, yes - but the Spiker has an advantage in having ammo instead of a battery.
Better than a repeater? No. The repeater is amazing. The only time you would use a rifle over a repeater is if you were stripping shields, which you should be using a plasma pistol for anyway.

Plasma Rifle strips shields faster and is more accurate.

I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

Useless - AR; lacks any fire power at all and functions better as a bludgeoning device

Useful - Shotgun; devastating at close range and can easily drop a sword lunger

  • 02.06.2012 2:26 PM PDT

lol Repeater better than the Rifle....

Rifle doesn't slow it's ROF or have bloom, therefore more accurate. Repeater sucks ass on shields, it's like a Spiker but shields and not health.

The most useless would be the repeater IMO. The spiker and Plasma Rifle are more accurate and take down shields better. After that a beatdown or a follow up headshot are quicker and more efficient than cleaning up with the repeater

Most useful would be the sniper. It's anti-everything and a skilled wielder can use it at any range.

Well there's your problem. The repeater isn't for stripping shields. It's for health damage. You wouldn't use an AR to strip shields would you (provided you had something else available)?
The repeater is better than the AR for clean-ups. At least that's what my experimentation (for a 'SWATomatics' gametype idea) has indicated. Repeater is the king of automatics once the shields are gone, barring the needler potentially (too many variables there).

Solution

Carry a Spiker and Repeater. Use the Spiker to take out shields and when the shield is down switch to Repeater for health.

Funny how that's the opposite of Halo 3 Spiker and plasma damage interaction.

So you're admitting that the Plasma Rifle is more useful than the Plasma Repeater.

Spiker has weak health damage.

Repeater has weak shield damage.

Yep. It's right.

Spiker: Good on shields bad on Health
Repeater: Bad on shields good on health

They're complete opposites.

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

Most useless - probably a toss-up between the Repeater and the Plasma Launcher.

Most useful - easily the sniper. One-shot kill capable, effective at all ranges, and with a few exceptions always comes with at least eight rounds. Even rips vehicles these days.

lol no - I'm saying the rifle is less useful because it fills a role better suited to the PP, but the repeater is more useful because it does the most DPS to health out of the automatics.

Sounded like you had it the other way around EDIT: because I can't read. ;)
