Happiness is a warm gun

So, I was playing think twice the other day and picked up a spiker. After using it for a bit I realized, wow, this gun is awesome, and compliments the magnum much more then the AR.

It has high damage on shields and low on health, is more accurate then the AR, less bullet magnetism and actually has travel time so it takes more skill to use.

Whattya think?

That's worse.


Why? Because it drops shields quickly?

What about this gametype, for a laugh:

No sheilds, no health, no nades, only hologram AA, unlimited AA, bottomless clip, Spiker Primary, Focus rifle secondary?

Yes. Do this. I did not support this earlier there are just so many of us that want this that your distracted and thought you read my name twice.

  • 02.15.2012 10:58 AM PDT

I like the spiker. It can actually be pretty useful. Im sure that one guy around here who is pro w/ the repeater would agree.

Care to elaborate on why this wouldn't be better then the AR?

Arbitor they outnumber us three to one!
Then it is an even fight.

Arbitor > Arbiter.
Arbitor = Rank above Arbiter.

A big thanks to kids that did this to 343 after they heard they get an infection game mode in halo 4 with no thought of normal playlists.

its too powerful

Reach makes me want to gargle gasoline whiling jerking myself off with sandpaper.

The spiker is worse than the AR

Or just up the damage to 110%.

The spiker does less damage per hit than the AR and AR burst-fire is much more controllable than the spiker's 100% random shots.

It's like trying to kill someone with one of those confetti thing s where you pull the string and it shoots confetti...except in this case it shoots spikes which cause skin irritation.

much better idea. DMR starts 100% of the time in every playlist

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

How about Magnum or DMR starts all the time instead?

Because the spiker has piss poor health damage. Why would people want to spawn with a ridicolously underpowered, useless inaccurate weapon? As soon as the game starts 99% of people would ditch it for another weapon
