You can do that, there's just the matter of the energy shield to get past, which makes things less straight forward then the typical FPS.Mod74 wrote:I want to see someone and shoot them. With my gun.
Two comments from his original post. Pretty sure he's saying Halo game design is 'not good' here.I've long thought the kill times in Halo were ridiculous. You should be able to punish someone instantly if you get the drop on them not watch them bunny hop into safet
If your spawn weapon can't kill another player in one clip and you need to run in for a melee to finish them it's not a shooter anymore.
K/D : 0.83 suggests you couldn't do it that fine... though maybe I'm being a bit unfair here.Mod74 wrote:What I dislike is being told that because I don't like doing something I'm doing it wrong. I took various advice last time and went and played using the DMR+headshot norm and whilst I could do it fine I didn't enjoy being forced to play that way. That's all.

Halo is assaulting the enemy base from the back of a mongoose, raising your splazer to the sky and bellowing with frustration when Shyam inevitably drives off a cliff. That's Halo. Metagame.

Djornson wrote:To be fair to Mod he is actually quite good at Halo. Knight, he doesn't have to play MLG standard to have an opinion on a game, his money is as good as ours. Mod, if you don't like the style or how to kill people in Halo, fair enough. Not sure why we all have to keep discussing it.
The thing i like about halo is a skilled player can kill any less skilled player no matter what weapons both of them have, every weapon in the game is potentially the best in a particular situation. It just so happens that BR/DMR/AR/Melee is easier than most in most situations, doesn't mean it's the only one to use if we were all good enough.
Mod74 wrote:I like almost everything about it, except the fact that it's "balanced" or "optimised" if you prefer, towards chipping some of the opponents life using something other than your gun and then finish them using either a headshot or a melee. I'm allowed to not like that.

FYI guys you can still get fast kills with a Needler. Just sayin.
