I personally dislike them in multiplayer, but it would be cool if it was some kind of specially equpped suit that you could wear that granted short periods of invisiblility.

well,im an elite player and i abolutely HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! power ups,but everyone i play with uses them (i manage to kill them though...gotta love the pistol and sniper rifle...) i only use them when my brother keeps running from me, grabs the overshield over and over and over... i also avoid the rocket launcher,i think its cheap. i only use it when other people use it on me. and for people who think we hate power ups because we cant use them,your wrong. i used an active camo and got 10 kills without being shot (i got shot at,but not hit) and i also counter them easily (their too easy to counter,plasma pistol takes out the over shield and you use your eyes to take out someone with the active camo.duh)

Power ups are fine...if you're an "ELITE"...you can handle it. Too me, that says you aren't that good and when some one kills you, you find the closest thing you can think of as an excuse. My friend and I call this the..."You only beat us because all you did/used was_________"-Insert weapon here. If its not the rocket laucher its the ghost...if its not the ghost its the overshield...if its not the overshield its the pistol. "ELITE" players...as you like to call yourselves, need to wakeup and smell the facts.

Oh, and the powerups are the great equalizer on the battlefield...it gives those guys who suck a fighting chance. It gives us slightly more skilled players killing sprees!

Anyone that thinks power-ups are cheap is simply not good enough. If you are elite, I'm sure you get the power-ups, because if you don't, then the elite your playing against is grabbing rocket while invis, and your sitting there with your sniper rifle about to get blown the heck up.

There are SO MANY ways to counter attack someone with power-ups. Thats why if your are truly a kick arse Halo player, then there is no reason to not play with power-ups. I'm sorry but you are not elite if a nooby pistol whips you in the back of your head. How could an elite allow a noob to get behind them???

I play on xbconnect almost everyday, and I am always watching someone jump for camo and it appears as they touch down to get it. What can I do to counter this? well, there is the sniper, there is the safe spots to sit with rocket waiting for them to do that, there is the get the overshield technique- you get it. Then let them find you. I mean, c'mon people! Its a part of the game!

Deal with it!

wether you like it or not, the power-up whore is having fun killing you and your 'honest' ways.

Has anyone ever beat you? Do you play XBconnect? If not, then your not an elite. People that only play over Lan are not elites.

The power ups are only temporary so unless they power camp it wont be much good. Try playing KOTH or CTF to discoruge camping.

Ya, me too, my little brother always made a rule for goldeneye that you couldnt kill a dude that was unarmed, so we still killed him anyway, and said its not cheating, thats the objective, power ups are there for a reason. Lots of games have em.

Only the weak use power-ups. As long as I've got a Needler and Sniper, power-ups can go to HELL!

MSXL: The Last Honest Chapter

Power-ups are simply part of the game. If you are good, you can take out an invisible or shielded player no sweat. Personally, I hope that Halo 2 provides the option to have power-ups - but only the option, so I can turn them off. The Halo 2 demo at E3 didn't have any power ups, and I didn't here anyone complain! =)

"How many Elite players think power-ups are for losers?"

Cmon, thats like saying that you're a bad player because you kill people with a rocket launcher (a mate of mine roars out "errr nOOb cannon" everytime someone kills him with it!)
They're there to spice things up a little. I will say though, that they should definately be an option in Halo 2 (just like the Infinite grenades option in halo 1 - as mentioned repeatedly throughout this thread)

Besides, it's great fun sneaking up behind someone with the Cloak on..

And if you don't like power ups... just don't pick 'em up! Why is this even an issue!!!

Next well hear that "the only true weapon is the pistol" ("elite" players love the pistol)... I hope they take this grossly overpowered weapon out of Halo 2, or at least dumb it down a bit... maybe remove the zoom feature from the pistol while moving (which is a ridiculous notion anyway). I know I'll get flamed for saying that, but if you were in real combat with a pistol against a number of opponents with assult rifles, you would get killed.

So leave the Power-ups in... just leave it up to the player as to whether or not they're activated.

you wanna know whats funny? all these people calling themselves "elites" but they can't handle power ups and the people who use them. with the camo, i keep my eyes open, if it moves, it dies. with oversheild, i hella wish everyone had an overshield but me. that way i could learn how to outwit and out gun so i can just kill kill kill even when they had the over sheild. you "elite" players are nothing but talk if you can't take down a friend with an overshield, or see the moving invisible guys. are you guys going to whine about everything that you can't handle. and by the way, if you call yourself elite, you aren't. its kinda like calling yourself cool, but really your not.

A-men brother! These people just like to cry when they get killed, looking for excuses. It's pretty sad huh!

What is everybodies thought on power-up abusers?

Elite players play to win, they use any means necessary to win, including powerups. Therefore, they are not "abusing them" they are using what is availible to win. But I agree powerups can be frustrating and I wouldn't mind if you had the OPTION to take them out. They do add a strategic side and a sense of power to a player.

My god, get over yourself man. Not all of us can afford High Speed internet. Judging by this thread, [color=white]"Elite" players are those who know they are good (they know how to play) , they like to let others know just how good they are (they're SmackTalkers) , and then whinge like little girls when they get killed (Pathetic losers).[/color]

just play the game.

Ha so true. Just so you know, the pistol was not in the E3 demo. Not only did I play it, but I asked the lead multiplayer programer personally. (Max Hobermann) The battlerifle has a single shot zoom, that is pretty much the pistol's replacement. It will suffice to those pistol freaks (like myself! =P), but it does less damage, which will make those with other weapons happy! Thank you, Bungie!

Power-ups are the scum of all time, I never personaly use them, I dont use rockets, or snipers either, so its just my skill, and I usualy win anyway. When I win they have no excuses, like "well you used the power-ups all the time" or "well you used the rocket launcher" you know those kinds of things, just skill, skill.

i agree with you, i wont mind having them in, unless theres no option to turn them off, even when my friends use over shields i win, because they usually die before they use them, and when they finally get them i'm like 5- 10 kills infront anyay, but, playing on X-Box connect is bad, when you have like 1/2 to 1 second ping, the guy is better than you without using the over shields,(what i'm trying to say is, the guy is better than you without shields and even if i had no ping disability) and he usues them anyway?


I'm not saying i'm elite, but I'm saying i'm the best in my area, so I personally dont use them, to give the players worse than me a chance, (as i said, the players worse than me die before they get them, where as i wouldnt) The second best player in my area is half as good as me, (my 25, to his 12 kills)

If theyre on, I'll live but there better be an option to turn them off.
I dont mind them in single player because your beating computer opponents, but i much prefer to beat people when theyre on even grounds with me.
