Because the AR is so close range and the DMR has such long range capabilities that the game becomes duck hunt.

If I did I would have to keep posting almost the same thing all the time and most of the time the person would ignore me or refuse to listen.

So I stopped.

I'm tired of explaining to -blam!-heads like you why this gameplay is retarded and terrible for you and your team. If you want to suffer horrible, horrible gaming experiences, remember that I tried at one point.


So you've both become so frustrated with the forum population that you're always lashing out at anyone you perceive as being aligned with the people who frustrated you in the first place?
You both seem like intelligent guys (pardon if the gender is wrong) who have a solid grasp of the game. It's a shame you're lumping everybody together like that. I could have benefited from friends like you, and I don't think I'm alone.

Evidently you didn't consider what happens when two good teams are playing and one team ends up with all the DMRs and the other team has none.

You ever remember playing ARs on Guardian in Halo 3? It sucked ass. Why? Because the BR had a 45 second spawn and if you stepped outside of top gold without one, you would get mown down by someone who did. The AR has always been a close range, niche weapon. Spawning with it is stupid because it limits the players ability to have an effect on the game or even adequately defend themselves.

I've taken that into account. A lot of you guys are always talking about playing smart right? Well, if a team did manage to get all the DMRs wouldn't that mean that they were the better team cause they played smarter?


Also, yes, I do remember that happening on Guardian a lot. Thats why I carried a BR at all times. I may like AR starts, but I don't play stupid. I'll drop the AR for better weapons if I find them. BR and Shotgun, BR and Dual SMGs, BR and 1 SMG, I'd use em all, but if the AR was all I had, then BR and AR it was, and it tended to work well.

Also, when working in tandem with 1 other guy, if 1 has an AR, and 1 has a DMR/BR, a person's health and shields vanish near instantly.

Elaborate.

Are you confused about what I'm trying to say?

All I said was that the team that plays smarter usually wins, and gave a basic example of how that would work out in a game of AR starts. Whats wrong with that?

DMR isn't OP, it just shouldn't be default spawn, because then it becomes a power weapon.

Armor lock is op, but with practice it can be countered.

Strafing is a part of combat regardless of the weapon.

Ah. That was a response when Ghost is Bad made a troll attempt.

anyway, I guess an explanation is in order.

I do not think the DMR is Op, simple enough.

When I said I don't think it should be a spawn weapon, I meant that I prefer it if the DMR is a pick up, therefore making it akin to a power weapon because of its range and versatility. Its more a preference of play than anything else, and I can understand why some might not find it to their liking.

Armor lock is op, pretty sure everyone knows and agrees on why. I simply stated that, OP or not, it is possible to overcome it with practice and keeping a cool head.

and strafing is a survival tactic that should be used for any gun, because then your enemies might miss you.

We clear now?

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

Yes.

You don't know how many times I've wanted to call someone on Waypoint a retard and just be done with it.

  • 02.25.2012 6:11 PM PDT

Me, actually. I dislike TU settings because I move slower than I'm used to, it opens up the game so much more to retards who shoot 5 AR bullets and pummel me, and other kids who switch to pistol immediately on spawn.

Honestly, this is a good cover up for all the idiots who won't know its a cover up .

Better than Tu. Some things TU added I like, others I don't I prefer Default, but I adapt.

  • 02.25.2012 7:47 PM PDT

Default promoted weapon balance. Bloom encouraged pacing of shots. Firing too fast and getting punished was great!

All these arguements about bloom seem stupid. Random shots are only fired when firing too fast

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.

And pacing while the other guy was spamming and losing that fight is frustrating as -blam!-.

Random shots are fired whenever the reticule is bloomed. And not all bloomed shots are random.

The Halo series was my first and favorite FPS series.
I enjoy most games throughout all systems despite what some people say.

Oh, and on the forums, I tell it like it is, like it or not.

I like them in alteration. While I prefer the TU, it isn't always horrible to play Default. It really just depends on the stage.

Does anyone have lotion?
*Raises hand*
Is mayonnaise a lotion?

I like Default Reach better than TU Reach.

I consider myself good, but by good I mean not retarded, unlike most of the Reach community.

Sorry buddy, but you're not good. You're pretty bad, just not horrible.

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

This thread is pointless. The smart ones who have an IQ above table have already realized that the TU is by far superior.

Anyone who still likes default has to literally be retarded.

Me being an ass

If you weren't an ass before you posted that (in each thread) I think the lesser skilled players would be more inclined to actually read it with an open mind, instead of trying to work up an argument against each point as they go.

Everyone who acts elitest on here was nice when they first started posting. The problem is that its very hard to deal with people who refuse to accept tips and help when we offered it. So we gave up on trying to help by being nice, because at least being a jerk over the internet is entertaining.

Also, I agree with Viper. I have yet to see anybody good support Vanilla Reach, including that LeonKennedy85 kid.


So the skill of a player is directly proportional to their validity?


By this forum's standards, yes.

Thing is, 90% of the people you're arguing with are part of the same group that shares the same opinions, and if an argument even hints at not going their way, they get every one of the 277 members down here to take a look, and post if they can.

Also, they make up I think 80% of people who still post in the reach forums at all.

Why do you think no one bothers with the Reach forum anymore? Cause all the other people are pretty much copy and pasted narrow minded elitists.

You'd be better off bringing your logic to a different forum. Try the flood, smarter people are a rare commodity over there sometimes.

I just do that to keep my posts tidier and easier to read. I generally try to take the most relevant part of a given post to quote so the person I'm talking to knows what I'm talking about. I work based on the premise that a person reading this far into a thread has probably read what came before it as well.


Posted by: Gh0st is Bad
Yes.

You don't know how many times I've wanted to call someone on Waypoint a retard and just be done with it.

I'll admit that Waypoint is pretty bad. I have a theory that BS Angel's field of idiocy works on the same premise as gravity. Something to do with the Higgs Moron particle..

That's besides the point. Don't you think you'd be a lot happier if you just ignored the daft posts and moved on? I mean, it's essentially the same as trolling, but sincere.

The community is so dark and jaded lately. Reach could have been so much more. It's a shame. I hope people cheer up for Halo 4. 343 seems to be willing to listen to the community. If we could dialog better and come to more of a consensus on things we could have anything we want out of the game. I dunno - that's how it seems to me at least.
