It seems that on more and more servers, the bungie servers mostly, either more new players are on, or people are finally figuring out that rockets go boom. The past five days, I have had to deal with being on a team that uses regular wepons vs. a team of people who can hardly make a kill without a heavy wepon. This has been happening for FIVE DAYS STRAIGHT in every game I played.

"OMG YOU WERE USING ONE TOO n00b!!!"

"DUURRRRR!!!! I picked it off of you genious! You had a rocket launcher and a fuel rod gun!"

That shut him up quick, having people know he can't play a game without heavy wepons must have gotten to his ego. I only use heavy wepons as an anti-vehicle role, unless I am alone and outnumbered greatly, in which case I use them only if I have no shotgun handy. Although this thread is practicly useless, it feels good to rant some of this frustration off.

I prefer to use the heavy's nuthing like a quad killtack, fallowed closely by a second quad, I also like to play slayer shoties and in reg wep servers i use the pistol as my main and what ever is closest to me for the secondary . but yes heavys are my fave . bye the way i play HALO PC every friggin day I love the Bungie servers , As im in ALASKA and can get a decent ping , But with out a player there with RCON the servers go to hell fast with the cussing and tking, players switching to make the teams uneven , But it just makes more challenge anyways. i'm usualy in the top 3 where ever i play.

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

You will 99.9 percent of the time never ever see me using a rocket or FRG on anything except a vehicle, because thats what they are made for. Anti-Vehicular purposes. But they are over abused and used. One reason I dislike people who use them, they don't know how to properly use them.
"0 1ok, 4 m00vin9 t4r931. 1372 n00b 3m r0f1."
Anti-Vehicular purposes people! Get it right!
While im at it..
The Banshee is a vehicle made for arial combat, yes? Keep it in the AIR then! It is NOT the retarded cousin of the Ghost.
Do you know how stupid it would be if the US airforce ran their jets into the ground in vein attempts to run someone over? Very.
Learn how to play, and maybe we can all enjoy the game more.

Just blame Halo's touch-a-moving-vehicle-and-you-die physics. Retards who mistake the banshee for a ground-based vehicle on four wheels are going to die when they face competent players.

Banshees are quite easy to take down. I usually use the pistol, the shotgun, plasma grenades, a plasma rifle, or a rocket launcher. Now, when we're facing banshee noobs, who can't get kills any other way so they must resort to trying to run people over with a banshee, it's a definite kill. Banshee noobs are very easy to take down.

The problem isn't the team you are playing against, it's your team. The heavies are there for all to take and use. If your team of "pistol purists" refuse to take and use them, that just leaves more for your enemies to use.

Heavies are great for taking out vehicles, but any kill is a kill and the object is to decimate the enemy– it's not a game of one-on-one pistol dueling, like some people seem to think.

I usually stay away from HW, especially the FRG. I seem to kill myself with it more often than not. I can account for lag with the pistol and sniper rifle, but the FRG just does not work for me in multiplayer– it's fine in campaign.

You can't use the fuel rod gun in the campaign. It activates a self-destruct sequence and detonates itself seconds after it has been dropped. Similar to Combat Evolved's plasma sword.

Think about Battlefield 1942; the heavy weapon is only useful for destroying vehicles. It won't be very effective against infantry. A rocket from a bazooka will kill one soldier, but it won't be like the Rocket Launcher in Halo. If the BF1942 bazooka was like Halo's Rocket Launcher, then it would be used all the time.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

That is why I never choose servers randomly. Read the description before playing, and the name too.

I meant LAN, not campaign. I can hit a parked hog from a distance or near by and keep hitting it with great accuracy as it bounces around– but in multi player I can't hit anything... just kill myself trying.

I use them for anti-vehicles or just that single killtacular. Now wizard, that's just crazy, rockets and flamethrowers.
