The only reason I put snipers in ther is there are always so many requests for that gametype. I make it CTF so the teams spawn on opposite sides of the map, because Team slayer spawns are random I suppose to prevent spawn camping. I probably won't do it on Sidewinder anymore because that map lends itself to spawn-killing.
The BG CTFno sniping is meant to remove the pro players "crutch", the pistol, and force them to use another weapon. Unfortunately, they tend to replace one crutch with another, the heavy. I would think if they were pros they would welcome the challenge of killing someone with an A/R which takes more "skill" then the pistol. I will remove this gametype.
Lastly I do not agree that no-shields games take no skill and i'm a little tired of hearing no shield=no skill. The skill is using the terrain and obsticles to stay alive while firing at the correct range to kill your opponent with one shot. I've learned that when you are charging an enemy, stop take a step back so when he fires you lose two bars; then take a step forward fire and he crumples in the dirt. Or in Longest you see an enemy step behind a column, waiting for him to get closer or fire, pop out fire and move on to the next one. Yes a lot of times you will round a corner and get a face full of buckshot or get taken down from behind but that can happen in other gametypes as well.
If a no-shield game takes no skill then all of us should challenge Faux-x, Martyr or Nessy to no-shield 1v1's and the scores won't be so lop-sided and we should win some of the time. Right?I agree that no-shields takes skills. The problem I have is spawning into a 'nade, hw, tank-fire shower while the enemy dances around you unhurt because FF is off. Turn FF on and put in long TK penalties– then they'll have to use skill to kill you without TKing each other.
If you can just remove the FRG from the BG no sniper it would be a nice change of pace.
I know people like snipers, I'm one of them, but I thought there was a preference for sniper WITH shields, but you are the one getting the requests.
One of the best Halo games I ever played was Team Slayer, Sniper weapons, With Shields, on Danger Canyon– no vehicles if I recall.
