You're completely incompetent at debating. I told you first that there were two BR spawns in The Pit, my team mates get to our BR spawn first, and the enemy gets the other, have you never played Team Slayer? I don't see how pulling my stats proves your point, it doesn't. All those melee kills were from AR spraying, the only way to use the AR effectively. And you pulling stats has no merit since I can't pull stats back since you're hiding behind an Alt account that has no Halo 3 records.

I know how to use the AR, I choose not cause it is NOT a challenge, ask anyone who has played over 100 games of Social Slayer if the AR is a challenge to use, everyone will laugh in your face. It's a noob weapon, it's cheap way to get kills. Only scrubnauts that can't 4 shot use AR. Any mentally challenged cross eyed brain dead retard that can pick up the controller can get a killing spree with the AR. If you're trying to tell me that the AR is a challenge, you're obviously trolling.

There are 2 BR spawns per side in the pit. The rest of your paragraph is just repeating the same message: I don't know how to play without a BR, or any other weapon for that matter and it is unfair that I start with a weapon I suck with.

And I hate to pull the "Halo 3 stats" card but it only helps my side of the argument. But even if you were professional, it wouldn't change the fact that AR starts are completely fair and actually provides a much more challenging match.

One sec, i'm going to get on my linked account. I will respond to this post shortly.

P.S the linked account's gamertag is Drunky1993

Edit: lol woops I guess it auto-logs. Anyways, give me like a couple minutes to respond.


So yeah:

1. There are 4 BRs that spawn on the pit. 2 on each side. Stop saying there is one per team.

2. You are right that ARs were good at shooting, closing the gap, and meleeing. Quick kill there. (Though plasma rifle would be even more effective for this strategy). You could consider that a "strength" of the Assault Rifle. If you have this weapon, it might be smarter to encounter your opponent in a way best suitable for the AR. The AR is not as effective in mid-range (e.g the diameter length of Guardian's top mid circle). However if you shoot sparingly by using it in bursts, the spread is reduced and its aim increases, damaging your opponent more efficiently). Though, in the end, the AR is less effective than the BR at the mid-range (and obviously longer range). And it's challenging to start with ARs for this reason because most encounters are from mid to long range. But of course how you play determines the outcome of the situation.

3. A strength of a weapon isn't normally supposed to be challenging. It's taking advantage of a weapon's weakness that makes the weapon challenging. That's why the AR is hard and that's why it's harder to regain pace on the map if you guys are getting downed and respawning with an AR while your opponents continue to hold BRs. But again, that is not to say you can't take advantage of the weapon you have versus the weapon your adversary holds. Do the spray and melee against his BR if you want. Then, take his BR! Now you have the relative advantage over him (unless he knows how to make use of the AR). That's fair game.

4. A noob with an AR only gets a killing spree because his adversary is inexperienced against the AR. Defeating players with the AR is extremely easy. But it can also be extremely frustrating. It all depends on how well the player can recognize the strengths and weaknesses of the weapons laid out for him. And then in turn how you analyze his use of those advantages, aiming for his weaknesses.

Just to prove a point. I triple edited the post. It's got a small wall of text now. Forgive me if i'm not clear on the post. I rushed to write this.

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

I was pretty decent.

*Not quoting everything to save myself from being crushed by the wall of text.

Okay look, I can hold an AR and do well, however I will take BR starts over AR starts any day. Why? I'll admit, it's because I'm a coward that likes to shoot people from a distance when they're not focusing on me. The BR is the best weapon for that job (other than the sniper, but I couldn't sniper someone in Halo 3 to save me in real life). I loathe AR starts because it forces me to get close to my enemy and we both end up spraying and bashing each other in the face.

The game would be so much easier if it had the BR primary and AR secondary when the game starts, but I guess we can't have nice things.

Viewpoint accepted. I understand.

This thread will probably now die in peace. If it wasn't for us (or i guess me since i initiated this lol) the thread would have ended on page 3. rofl.

It's Pokémon, not Pokemon!

I did decent enough during Halo 3's lifetime. After Reach came out, I got worse and worse.

Was a 5 Star General and loved the game, so yes.


Pretty obvious that you bought your 50.

Oh and lol at people who think that they were good at H3. If you weren't known in ranked, you aren't considered good.

Small Community, Lots of Fun. We do Halo, Minecraft, and much more.

I was one of the best in the world with a warthog, but when it came to everything else, I was better than most. Not MLG, but better than the average player.

The best.


I really enjoyed halo 3 matchmaking. I loved the ranking system. It showed who you should respect and watch out for. and who bought their level 50 general accs.

Back in my prime my shot was as smooth as a baby's bottom. I, too, have gotten a bit rusty.

I was pretty good for a time, but I never consistently played. It was always a couple weeks and then a month or more off to play something else. I could have been better. I'll say that.

  • 12.07.2012 9:38 PM PDT

hmm

I was -blam!-, didn't care about my K/D back then. I only started focusing on getting better at halo a few months before Reach. Now I'm decent.
