Well Zero yes that is a very bad sniping scenario unless your a pistol master. Being a pistol master allows you to get all headshots no matter how hard the shot and kill them. Which i do and which annoys people alot.

Why my friend the thing that you are typing on. Barnes and Noble has their own website and you can order it off the internet. If that doesnt suit your fancy from lack of a credit card visit your local store or something. Rip one off a hobo. Either way the books are great fun to read and can let you see the story in depth.

cullen use the edit feature, you seriously need it.

<i know this should be in the maw, but we are talking about bad game types>well on halo pc i saw my frand play a new ai level where all the bots have sniper rifles cept one who is in a banshee. they just follow banshee around and only attack you if you like stand right in front of them. Banshee dude owns so bad though.

FFAs in big levels. KotH in BG where the hill doesn't move and everyone starts with the PP is so bad. The hogs end up in the hill and are of no use.

All invisibilty and sniper only matches are horrible.
Anything on Boarding Action.
Games on big levels with few people.

.CTF 50% health no shields
sniping only
Hang em' High
I got stuck on the team with the worst base, the other team was spawn killing, and it was 5 to 7 and I was on the team with 5.

400% health and shields with normal weapons starting with the plasma pistol on a small level with 6 people. Half the fights ended up with everyone in the same location fighting, since no one would ever die!

  • 05.29.2004 9:19 PM PDT

Mania? I promise you this: it will be more than a cart and plow that I drive over the bones of the dead.

Covenant weapons only, no radars, 2-vs-2, 400% health, invisible, Boarding Action. I lost myself in the screen cause I was invisible so much I ended jumping off the side just to remember what color I was and what weapon I was using. It sucked.

Ug, painful, thinking about half these game types give me a migraine worse than a plasma burst to the head. Alright, how about this? Invisible players, no radar, no indicator, nothing. Boarding action, all snipes. So if you do see someone up close you have 2 seconds to switch to your pistol before you lose sight of them. Don't matter how many players, it sucks.
However a great scenario., I play "Dunes", but be warned, it sucks if you have a high player count, I prefer 3 players. put it on Hang em High, no shields, shotguns only, 50%-100% health, it don't matter which. Infinite Grenades can be fun too if you don't have an idiot who just chucks them randomly the whole freaking time. Remeber the chips and dip.

I would have to disagree with most of the players on this forum. Single weapon games make you better at using those weapons. Chaotic games like 16 player, FFA, Shotguns, 50% health, no shields (or Shotties as we like to call it in Apopka) develop your reaction times and give you better concentration. Annoying games like those with no friend indicators and ones with all invisible players serve their purposes as well. They give you better team skills and better combat skills, (if you can fight an invisible player effectively, there is no advantage at all for an enemy to grab it). These are far from pointless games and definately NOT horrible.

I find that the worst games fall into two catagories. 1) Those that are too long with no end in sight, and 2) those that are radically unbalanced in one way or another unless the teams are adjusted to fit (call me a pansy, but I hate having the odds stacked so hopelessly against me, and I hate beating a team that expects to lose, so games like that aren't fun for me either way). So, here I will list the WORST I can think of in both catagories.

1) Sidewinder, CTF, 15 captures,
16 players, instant respawn, no suicide penalty,
rifles, no vehicles, 200% health
(I think the only way to win would be to stay awake longer than the other team.)

2) -CTF, Chill Out especially or Rat Race/Damnation/even Hang 'Em High can be annoying
(I hate playing these levels unless the teams are set with better players on the worse base.)
-Chiron, CTF, when less than 25% of the players know the level at all
(Winning against lost enemies isn't nearly as gratifying as crushing confident opponents.)

3) Honorable mentions:
ANY Oddball game to 15 minutes, or with more than 4 balls and most Race games
(I personally don't enjoy them at all, but hey, that's just me.)

My worst ever experience was a two on five kill in order on Longest. It -BLAM-ing sucked (I was on the two person team).

My worst experience was my first. the first time I played halo multiplayer was on chiron. that was awful. my second worst experience was on battle creek, when I realized you could warp instantly between bases. without that, battle creek might've been my favorite non-vehicular map.

It was on Blood Gulch. There was a mod and everytime i jupmed ide end up 500 feet in the air, but i thought fo a few second and found a cool way of getting alot of kills. I brought a Sniper Rifel and a Rocket Launcher up. but in the end i got killed a bunch of times and there no vehicles.
