that is opinionated therefore you have no facts to prove that they are mentally challenged, so all you are saying is half-baked thoughts

Don't you get it, man?! Prophate is gettin' a real kick out of life! It is long and grammarless threads like these, with low intelligence on its pages, that make people happy (myself included). It is an unexplained phenomenon. But it's funny nonetheless.



Damn I'm awesome!

so let me get this straight....you think the Ar was an overpowered smg?

AHAHAHA! the Ar was far from overpowered. it was outclassed at close range by the shotty and outclassed at medium range by the pistol. the assault rifle had its uses, but it was far from overpowered.

you say that halo 2 requires more skill than halo 1 because the Ar was a spraying weapon and the BR requires accurate headshots?

I'm sorry, but in halo 2 the smg is a spraying weapon as well and if yyou havent noticed, the Br is almost a near carbon copy of the pistol except it requires 4 headhsots to kill and the rof is slower.

if you dont like the Ar, you must have some sort of problem, because that was quite possibly the single most awesome weapon to ever grace halo.

people who talk about how much better Halo CE was than Halo 2 are RETARDS. The only reason that they seem to hate Halo 2 so much is because it takes alot more skill than Halo CE. They could get kills in Halo CE but now that the amount of skill required has gone up they suck so in their minds this means that Halo 2 sucks.

The AR = no skill Let me repeat the AR = NO SKILL!!!!!!!!!!

The SMG takes no skill either...

The BR is a weapon that emphsises precision and accuracy.
Kinda like...the pistol? Except the pistol had less autoaim..and it didn't fire burst,so headshots were harder.

Looks like your wrong on that one.
If you can't 4-shot someone than you suck at Halo 2.
So you are saying that everyone should be able to 4-shot...Which means its easy to do...which means it takes less skill...

You just make yourself look stupid.


So all I am saying is that if Bungie brings back the AR they need to make the Carbine alot more like the BR. by this I mean it needs to do away with the circle reticle and have a reticle that allows you to shoot like you do with the BR accuratly and quickly. And make it so you can effectivly 4-shot people with it.
....What does that have to with Halo 1 taking less skill than Halo 2?

You've lost me.

The AR was a ridiculously inaccurate weapon that had a reticle about the size of a grunt. I love it, but it is very hard to use right. Its almost impossible to kill anything other than flood without using lots of clips and suffering major damage.

maybe, but the Pistol was like a savior in tight situations
& the Rockets & Sword in Halo 2 take less skill than Halo: CE

the Ar was actually very effective against the flood and grunts. besides using up lots of ammunition was almost the entire point of the gun :p you spend 120 rounds clearing a room, its okay because you have around 9 more clips :p

im gonna qoute prophate

"Just because you suck with a weapon doesn't mean it takes no skill. As I recal the main weapon for Halo CE multiplayer was the pistol. Not the AR. Next time, before you decide to complain - realize you're an idiot. So please, for the sake of humanity.. the next time you have a thought... kill yourself."

Hmm. If the AR is cheap, then doesn't that make the SMG cheap, as well? Yes, according to your argument, it does. Is it in reality? No.

You know you are defending the worst auto-aim ever put into a game right? You know you are defending the most lunging ever right? You know this game is what started n00b combo right? You know you sound like an Idiot right? You know that the game was all-out horrible right? At least the AR took some amount of skill to kill outside of 5 feet, you don't know that right? lates moron

I couldn't care less about skill when it comes to video games, I care about fun. And if I think it's fun to waste 300 rounds from the AR in trying to kill someone at medium range, then I want it in the game. People will find other weapons to focus their skill on, lets have some fun too. It also take so skill to kill a vehicle with a homing rocket, but it's just so much fun watching a banshee try to escape then seeing the huge explosion and the satifying sound of wreckage hitting the ground. It's not skill that got me that kill, it was the homing rockets, but it was so much fun that I don't care.

And it's your connection that's slower than turtle sex.

In........................................................Out .

Idiots...

You don't go full auto at medium range, you fire it in bursts at medium range! Also, the AR tears through unshielded things, the only reason why people didn't like it is because
1. They went full auto at medium range.
2. It didn't tear through shielded beings so well.

The AR is great against flood combat forms, grunts, sometimes Jackals, unshielded elites, and even hunters. The shotgun only made it look bad in contrast.

Even with all that in mind, it's far from overpowered, all because of a magic thing called shields.

Darn you all to heck..for 15 minutes....why do you guys get the first couple of pages on this guy?!? I wanted him!
Well...I guess I'll get on faster next time...
Anyway heres my take.

people who talk about how much better Halo CE was than Halo 2 are RETARDS. First mistake. Generalizations are never good. Infact, usually they make you look like an ignorant moron with a head up your arse. This case is no different.

The only reason that they seem to hate Halo 2 so much is because it takes alot more skill than Halo CE. Whoa whoa whoa. Where wereyou when we had the Halo vs Halo 2 threads. Thats right...you weren't here. In fact...your three days old. Sorry, let me enlighten you. I would be an avid Halo fan that plays Halo 2 atleast once a week...usually more...since its first shipment. Nowhere have I said where I hate Halo 2....I just feel Halo kicks its butt when they stand next to each other. But Halo 2 is still the big fish when it comes to the rest. My views in this are the general views of most of the articulate posters...atleast I'm pretty sure thats how it goes. If I'm missrepresenting anyone they can speak up.

They could get kills in Halo CE but now that the amount of skill required has gone up they suck so in their minds this means that Halo 2 sucks. ... wow...
Anyway...I'd like to pretty much say that your wrong in most accounts. In no way do I suck in Halo 2...I'm atleast average thanks. Though I do have friends who played Halo all the time and now are high 30's to a 41in Halo 2 because they are just that good. Somehow them and your theory don't hold up.

As for skill? I dunno if you've seen the Halo 2 is Noobified movie yet, but enlighten yourself. I personally think they both take the same amount of skill, just different types and different strategies. Espesially due to the difference in maps.

The AR = no skill Let me repeat the AR = NO SKILL!!!!!!!!!! Um...yeah...I guess me getting through the whole game (save the library) on Legendary with the AR took no skill...because obviously its possibly the most overpowered weapon known to the franchise. Now I know you didn't say overpowered, but in order for anyone to beat Legendary with any weapon and say it takes no skill means it has to be overpowered. Otherwise you wrong.
...Guess what I picked...

It was nothing but an overpowered SMG I believe its more the smg is an underpowered pea-shooting cousin that unfortunatly replaced the AR. Seeing as the AR did sorta come first. Generally thats how the order of operations goes...just a hunch.

The BR is a weapon that emphsises precision and accuracy. If you can't 4-shot someone than you suck at Halo 2. Yeah just can't get enough of that "shoot over the shoulder and still hit his head" feeling I get when I 4 shot people. Sorry your half right...I'll give you that.

However, I sincerly doubt you can 4 shot somebody everytime your in a BR fight. Which means you suck at Halo 2. Guess what... I can't 4 shot ether...guess I suck too!
Hey don't feel bad, the pros are in the same boat, seeing as a 4 shot kill every time, even with host, is almost as hard, if not exactly as hard, as getting a TSK with the pistol everytime.

So all I am saying is that if Bungie brings back the AR they need to make the Carbine alot more like the BR. No...you never said that. Your entire post is bashing the AR and any Halo fan who doesn't believe the same as you. This is some new idea that you just cooked up.
by this I mean it needs to do away with the circle reticle and have a reticle that allows you to shoot like you do with the BR accuratly and quickly. And make it so you can effectivly 4-shot people with it. Thats right...make 2 BR's in the game...1's just not enough. Nevermind that its proven that the Caarbine kills faster if both shooters both hit each other in the head with every shot. Because the Carbine is underpowered right?

Instead of critisising me why don't you explain why the AR is so great. I don't think that I have ever heard anything other than "the AR is so much better." So why don't you explain this to me.

Compared to what gun? Your the one saying it takes no skill. If it takes no skill, why do most people usually opt for the Pistol before the AR? I would think a weapon that takes "No skill" would obviously be a weapon that all rush for.

Posted by: Robert 90
Yeah and a Pistol taking out a guy with a rifle makes perfect sense. If Bungie brings back the Halo CE pistol I will be dissapointed to say the least.
Seeing as the pistol has a scope...I would think it does make sense. Otherwise you haven't defended you weak, if not cotridictory, opinion on the AR.

Next time:
1. Think through your post before posting it...sometimes your just begging to get flamed.
2. Make 2 different threads next time instead of changing gears at the end....or just exclude the whole bashing part.
3. Try not to blatently insult people over the internet...just becasue you have no plausible arguements doesn't give you the reason to hide that with random insults that can be thrown at anyone. Makes you look like an idiot.
