No, I dont use them normaly. But, if they are on the map its fair game.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

If nobody else is going for them, by all means use them. If you don't, you're an idiot.

Yeah, I don't think so either. So long as they are balanced by another weapon or vehicle, they are ok. It's when you get lame invasion map custom games where the enemy has 4 scorpions and 16 snipers that they are stupid.

No. They're to give an incentive to control the map other than your base and to provide a temporary upper hand to the team which can both obtain, and properly use, them.

  • 02.09.2012 3:43 PM PDT

No, I don't think so. They add variety and many times they are game-changers, if used correctly

Generally they add to gameplay except the rox on uncaged.

Isn't it the opposite? The better team will secure the power weapons, so the noobs will use whatever is default.

Power weapons are not for noobs, however noobs do use them wrong

I think that the word noob is a bit ambiguous and over used. I think that its more pertinent to ask if power weapons use is cheap.

I would say that power weapons can be used in cheap ways but are not inherently cheap. For example camping with a shotgun or a rocket launcher is not exactly something that requires a ton of skill.

Cheap tactics are nothing to get bent out of shape over.

Hmm... you are right. "Noob" is abhorrently overused in these forums. However, I am still going to keep the OP that way, otherwise it doesn't quite have the same "ring".

;)



Mongooses are for pros.

unless of course the person wins in lets say a game of Rumble Pit because those who are bad dont know how to handle the problem

Join the Spartan I Project today.

Still not convinced? Check out our Promo video for a more in depth look at what we are all about.

Power weapons are all about map control so by my understanding, map control is not a "noob" concept. The only noobs are the players who will crouch in a corner watching the rocket spawn. They provide nothing else for the team other than the two kills they may get per rocket spawn.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

I generally leave them alone as im rubbish with the sniper, and 7out of 10 times i pick it up and some d-bag on my team betrays me for it. I usually just blow myself up with the rockets and i cant shoot worth a damn with the laser either. I prefer tooling around in a hog to the scorpion too. Smaller bullseye.

The only weapon I am okay with is the Sniper. I suck with rockets, shotgun, lazer, PL, sword, and hammer.

I don't usually use power weapons but if I see rockets in front of me I'm gonna pick them up, same goes for sniper and sword.

Yeah, I'll always use them.

  • 02.09.2012 8:20 PM PDT

Power weapons can be picked up by everyone.
Does that mean everyone is a "noob"?

Vote for me for a free cookie.

of course not. It speeds the game up a bit. Camping next to a power weapon and not letting anyone else use it is a different story...
