  1. LOL BUT WITH THE TRAVEL TIME IN THE TANK SHOTS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DODGE THEM IN A MANTIS I HAVE TESTED YOUR THEORY

    I play Battlefield with bullet drop so I've learned to I not aim where you are at when at a distance, I aim where you are going to be.twou

     

    So it wouldn't work.

  2. some people just dont seem to understand the prupose of the boltshot. It is meant to be a counter to close range power weapons so players arent completely helpless. Going into a building with an enemy possessing a shotgun used to be near impossible until the guy ran out of ammo. Now, players stand more of chance against power weapons, and opponents wont be getting running riots with personal ordinance drops

    ...Your entire argument is void because the Boltshot's One hit kill range is further then the human shotgun, Scattershot, Gravity Hammer, and Sword OHKO range. If it's a counter it does a really good job of being even better then them.

     

    And you start with it.

  3. Boltshot is not OP...

     

    *Requires good timing

    *Makes loud sound when charging

    *Realistic One-shot kill range is small (any long distances tend to take a perfect shot which is hard)

     

    EDIT: And tbh... I have seen very few people using the boltshot in comparison to other loadout weapons. If I had to do the math I figure the Boltshot would account for a small amount (lets say 0.05%) of the times I have been killed.

     

    1. No it doesn't.

    2. Yes because in the heat of battle everyone hears everything. You are also assuming that everyone has the TV turned up or has a headset. Not everyone does.

    3. IT HAS A OHKO RANGE THAT IS MORE THEN THE SCATTERGUN AND SHOTGUN

     

     

    And I'm glad your experience of the game is the same as every single other persons.

     

    By your logic, if people have the same game, everyone's experience is exactly the same with no deviation whatsoever. Do you really believe that?

     

     

    And in addition, people use it on every single map. Why am I going after someone in the downed pelican and being boltshotted? Because it's a easy to use weapon. I saw a guy go 28 kills in one match with it. Yeah okay.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I agree with Sweaty in his posts, however I would just like to voice my frustration. I'm doing great, 12-0 and I've just earned my ordinance, I'm aiming downrange and lining up the headshot, as i'm -- POW, killed by a person crouching in a corner with a secondary weapon. I wouldn't exactly call it "OMFG!!1!1 itzz soooo Opp!!!1", but I would like to point out that yes, at times getting killed by a secondary without even putting up a fight can be ridiculous.

     

    -Inversion

    And people always say you have

     

    1. Grenades

    2. Promethean vision

    3. You can just back up

     

     

     

    1. You don't always have grenades, and if you do it's a one out of three chance you don't have frags.

    2. Not everyone uses it at all (You'll never see me use it) and even then their are other abilities that you might want to use.

    3. I've backed up so many times and gotten one shotted it's not even funny and regardless..the enemy CAN just move move the left stick forward...and if they do all of the sudden your great "counter" isn't so great anymore is it?

     

     

    In another forum I frequent. We have a sort of motto or mindset about things that are considered OP or are being called broken.

     

     

    In a game, if someone uses something that many people consider to be "OP" many people will argue that it has counters and therefore is not actually broken. But the mindset I am talking about says that if something can easily beat all of it's "counters" easily then it should be banned or nerfed.

     

     

    Grenades, Promethean vision, backing up, timing the shot, listening for it. Those are all things that can easily be beaten by even a bad player. I mean, the combo of Stealth, Camo/Promethean vision, and Dexterity is popular with Boltshot users for a reason.

     

     

    And what if you're not the greatest player? Should you always be rewarded with a death because you can't think on your feet instantly or you're not the best at aiming?

     

     

    The problem with the Boltshot is that it rewards campers, people who are average, and people who are good. You can toss it onto nearly any Loadout and have it perform well when you need it too.

     

     

    It, at the same time, punishes people who aren't the best, make one mistake, have the volume low, don't have grenades, don't have Promethean vision, can't back up fast enough, etc.

     

     

    It's overpowered because it can kill a person in one shot, at a range that takes the human shotgun TWO shots to do, and the Scattershot anywhere from 2 to five shots to kill.

     

     

    If you simply reduced the OHKO distance it'd be fine. They have not. So bad players and really good players are rewarded for usage of a weapon they can spawn with and everyone else get's punished for even one mistake.

     

     

     

    If that is not unfair, then what is?

     

     

    People are complaining for a reason and they are not doing it because they want everything nerfed. It's because they want a game were people are not rewarded for being cheap.

     

     

    Whether or not you agree with me is something else entirely but I'm tired of listening to people act like just because it techincally has "counters" that it means that it isn't overpowered or needs a range nerf.

  4. agreed but for some reason the fans who want specs dont do to much reserch becase if they did theyed know specs were coming

    I randomly booted up another profile and found that I had gotten the specialization code for that profile. Making me very lucky because I never got it with my main profile.

     

    People are not complaining because they don't know it's coming later on (most of them anyways) they are complaining because they were promised something and that promise was not delivered on. Many are stuck on level 70 knowing that they shouldn't be stuck at level 70 and that the only reason they are is because something screwed up.

     

    Within reasonable expectations, people have a right to complain about something when they were promised it and it was not delivered upon.

  5. Hey guys I'm looking for some input on my capture settings. I can't quite seem to get it right (especially the saturation) so if anyone of you with more knowledge or just some input could help me out I'd appreciate it =]

     

    I do have Sony Vegas Pro but I haven't used it in years and it's changed so I wasn't able to do much beyond sharpen it a little.

     

     

     

    So we have example one:

    A little to much saturation

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aM2bSKuO_o

     

     

    Example Two:

    This one is without a doubt the most clear but it's still a bit off in a way that's bugging me. Saturation as well?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtKUJtDwA0g

     

     

    Example Three

     

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFp-YyWqVFU

     

     

     

     

    Out of them, which do you think was the best, and even then, what corrections do you think could be done? Just simple corrections will help me a lot to find the best balance :laughing:

  6. Considering what The Composer is and Does, her return is a near 100% inevitability.

     

    That being said, Halo 5 will most lilkey include a new AI that will make for some interesting interactions as Chief compares it/him/her to Cortana and it tries to prove itself to him.

  7. Crysis 2 is great. The campaign is the best I've ever played and the multiplayer is pretty good once you get the hang of it.

    The best SP ever...?

     

     

    And the multiplayer pretty good? Yeah it's good if you can get past the horrendous lag that never goes away, cheap classes, melee whores, camping, and the horrible spawn killing.

     

     

    I mean, don't get me wrong. I respect your opinion but while I loved the SP it's nowhere near the best ever IMO.

     

     

    Anyways it's a good purchase overall regardless.

  8. The flood are the scariest species in any game or horror story.

    Not even close.

     

     

     

     

     

    Also, correct me if wrong, but they never said the flood were completely eradicated.

     

    The Flood will ALWAYS return. There is no true manner by which to eradicate them (though, Ancient Humanity found a way to reverse infect them).

    That was a lie actually.
  9. The meaning of my post earlier was about how ironic it was to post something about someone complaining. It was meant as a joke. There is also nothing wrong with debating a topic.

    We all know it's ironic. That's why it stopped being funny the first million times each of us heard about complaining about complaining. Also if you're making a joke you need a punchline, not a statement.
  10. Don't get mad because it's true. I'm not trying to be mean or anything but it doesn't really make any sense.

    Yeah okay. You people live in some weird bubble where no problems can ever be solved because bringing up those problems is complaining and therefore makes the entire subject invalid.

     

    Oh he beats his wife? Don't complain about it because other people do the same thing.

     

    Let me let you in on a little secret, you don't solve any problems by avoiding them. You solve problems or at the very least discuss problems by bringing them up and discussing them.

     

    Let me direct you to a post that I made a while ago that got a lot of positive attention

     

     

    http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/12575-i-love-being-a-gamer-but-the-community/#entry137708

     

     

    Read it and then tell me that what the OP said (while it certainly could have been posted in a less hostile manner) is wrong. IT IS A PROBLEM and it's up to the OP if he wants to discuss it.

     

     

     

     

     

    Let people complain and don't care about them.

    Anyways, what's it to YOU if other people complain? You're all about letting people say what they want, so let the OP talk about people who complain and how about YOU don't care about it?

  11. Carbine is usable, but still like shooting the FAMAS in Battlefield 3. Don't even get me started on the PP in actually killing people with it. Other then that, I completely agree. (Though the incinerator cannon one shotting everything in one hit is kind of iffy)
