People with skill use them too, you know...You'd have to be stupid to not use them, so of course there are also lower skilled people that use them.

/thread

So because I don't want to use a power weapon makes me stupid?


Yes.

And I love how you cut out the end my statement. You are just all talk. 1v1 me then, which you probably won't because you are going to give me a lame excuse for a reason not to.

Ok let me explain because I knew i would get someone like you to reply. For one shotguns have a good amount of ammo and respawn which allows for spaming. With that being said that can go for every power weapon. You say this because you PROBABLY use this strategy to win. You say they kill fast which is most likely why people like me call them either noobie or say they take no skill to use because its easier to kill someone with. I wouldn't expect someone like you to understand what I am talking about.


1. Umm....May I begin by saying that you are silly. Shotgun Spaming? I'd like to see that... You'd get destroyed from anyone with a thumb with an AR or a DMR....or a cone, from any distance. If we are talkig about singular use of the shotgun for the match, that I can speak to. I am a self-proclaimed shotgun wh0re. If people thinks that noobie, by all means let them think that.

2. I still do not see your point. Call it malaise, my ineptitude at logic, or just my general distain for circular conversations.

Regards.


Haha you talk all trash but I bet you won't verse me to prove your point and if you do then play me today. I will be glad to verse you.



You are a feisty one. Where specificaly in that response was trash talking? I fail to it anywhere. And my point? You've got to be kidding...I'm not tying to make a point, this was your thread remember? I was replying to your notion that a shotgun could likley not be spammed, told you I was a shotgun wh0re, and then, you pull out the First Blood Part 2 mantra. (I'm guessing your too young to get my reference, so its likely wasted.) You silly boys are always entertaining. Best Regards.

You say you were not trying to make a point but yet you still try to tell me that the shotgun can't be spammed even though it can. What a contridiction.

Wow you're so right, all these people trying to correct you are just afraid of versing you. And power weapons are cheap, and so are the people who use them.

Wait you don't use AAs right OP? Because those are cheap to. Or the DMR? Because its also OP. Five shots from any distance kills someone! The only weapon in the game that takes skill is the AR because it takes the longest to kill and you have to be up close. Or the Plasma Repeater. And don't play MLG either, its full of these power weapon whores.

Anyway, have a nice day OP, thanks for opening my eyes.

You take my statements to an extreme. Nice try though

DMR-5 shots
Shotgun-1 shot
Energy Sword-1 hit
Rocket-1 shot.
DMR percision,control, and skill.
I really don't need to explain the whole concept of what weapons do seeing that you guys know such much about them.

  • 02.10.2012 9:46 AM PDT

So if you saw a sword, shotgun, or rocket launcher, you wouldn't pick it up. I understand not trading the DMR for them, but what about the AR or Magnum.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

All on foot, almost all DMR kills while playing like a retard.

I use power weapons whenever I can. It's called map control. If you're going to complain about people using power weapons, be the better player and get the power weapon before they do. The better player is the one who capitalizes on every advantage they can get over the other player. You can have an amazing DMR shot and still be the inferior player simply because you didn't capitalize on the advantage. If you and your opponent have an equal DMR shot and an equal opportunity to get the power weapon, he is the better player for using the power weapon.

A better player or an opprotunist? The better player isn't just better because they capiltalize on an advantage but is also better because they are just point blank BETTER.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Nice troll thread.

You've started off with an "opinion" based on "personal experience" because of the bolded words in your OP.

Then you've told us what people you wanted to reply, competitive players who understand map and weapon control.

And once they have, you say they're wrong, even though they're entitled to their "opinion" and spam them with 1v1 requests.

The DMR is a percision weapon.

It's precision.

That spelling mistake is what I picked up on and what gave you away. It was probably intentional because it's more fun when you're being obvious and still don't get caught, isn't it?

Granted that I did spell that wrong but nor did I say anybody was wrong. I said that if they wish to prove ME wrong then 1v1 me. I never told what I wanted to be replied. I said I knew that people that I was describing would reply.

You are just the cutiest. It all comes down to your interpretation of what spamming of a weapon is. Many people think it relates specifically to how one fires a weapon - in rapid succession with little or no thought to where one is aiming (commonly linked to the DMR), with the hope that enough shots will hit the mark for a kill, at distance. Further it can be linked to grenades, where the definition is slightly skewed, and dictates that spamming is throwing gernades at random in the general direction of the enemy, also at distance. Feel free to add your own. This brings us back to he question I asked in the beginning our our little square-dance, "How can you spam a power weapon?" )(specificaly in this discussion we are talikng about the shotgun, but it could be extended to other Pw's).

So with that I present my humble opinion;
Shotgun has a small kill radius - awlful for anything at distance, and therefore cannot be aimed at anything at distance. If you can't aim, you can't spam (remeber spamming is the failure to aim, not the inability). The SG cannot be fired in rapid succession.(The pump acton sees to that), so that is another reason. It also has a short supply of ammo (8 to 12 slugs) depending on playlist, so again its quite dificult to spam, when you have no ammo. Regards.

You are picking something that takes skill to use and that most poeple with skill use. You chose sniper as an example because you most likely know that lots of people use it even though it is more of a precision weapon.

I chose the sniper because it's a power weapon and is number 3 on your TOD, quit making excuses for it.

They rush straight for the power weapons and camp with them.
So let me guess you don't rush straight for the sniper and camp with it? You are running around the map like it's a normal precision weapon.

This guy is so full of crap. Go into his games and click Carnage on the game stats and then the plus sign next to his name. He generally uses rockets, shotgun, or sniper in every single match. This example I've linked above has 5+ shotgun kills. Granted you use the pistol and DMR but get off your high horse idiot.

EDIT: Besides these three weapons the only power weapons I can think of are the Splaser, Sword, and grenade launcher/concussion rifle. So Saying the sniper isn't classified in the category because it takes "skill" is utterly stupid. Fast/instant kill time = power weapon.
