I like those ideas for the most part.
And here's my little twist to it....I've played Halo 2 and I continue to play it religiously it seems, one thing I can't understand is why they LOVE to make weapons that are simply useless in competitive multiplayer!?!? I LOVE the Needlers...like ...we're talking strange infatuation. And I use all the time in custom games like juggernaut (seriously, try dual wielding, it's ridiculous!! haha) and in playlist games like team training or whatever...but in all honesty...the needlers are pathetic in every sense of the word. The ONLY legitimate strategic value would be to catch an immobile sniper off guard and shred him to pieces with it..that is IF he doesn't notice the rather loud firing that the needler emits OR happens to see you anyways and blows your head off for trying!!!
C'mon Bungie, you'll allow an unbelievably ridiculous tracking feature to the pp and you'll allow those who have rockets to pretty much be able to jump in the air, shoot directly underneath them to take out someone else, AND still have their shields intact....but you can't have the needlers either FASTER (preferable) or explode on contact to create devastating effects on opponents?!?!
Please Bungie, hear my plea! For the few remaining needler fans out there...let us have our day!! Let us rejoice in being faithful to an amazing concept, with poor execution! Only YOU have the ability to make it so that whenever the name "Needler" is mentioned, women and children cower in fear, and baby Jesus cries!!!
Those of you who haven't abandoned in your faith to the Needler, who still have "the NEED FOR NEEDS!!" join me in our march to glorious salvation, so that we may see a brighter day!!
....In conclusion...magnum also sucks and to respond to that comment about being able to flip a tank...yeah, he can't keep an smg steady, but at the same time, with that logic, he should be able to punch holes through some faces... and not the two/three/whatever the host decides it will take, melees that it takes to bring someone down now.
Oh wait, Bungie says host advantage doesn't exist...riiiiight...have you guys played on Xbox Live?! Ever?? You should try it out sometime....seriously....it's sad....
Oh yeah, one more thing....YOU MAKE THE MONEY...NOW MAKE SOME CENTRALIZED SERVERS!! Blizzard does it...why can't you?!
