lol one time i had my shields down, hopped on a mongoose then moved like 5 inches forward and splattered my attacker

the light rifle fares very poorly against vehicles, but makes up for this with a 1.3 second kill time on human enemies while the DMR, BR, and carbine all have a 1.6 second kill time (assuming all shots connect) this weakness of near 0 power against vehicles once again shows again how perfectly balanced the weapons are in the game

i LOVE the railgun. i get a kill with every bullet in most maps, its for mid/close range for sure though and i usually use promethian vision to see where the enemy is and start charging before moving into firing range

The DMR kills faster = God gun, not a DMR?????????? lol Muh GBP is retarded they both take exactly 1.6 seconds to kill someone

i loved the brute chopper too! but it would indeed make sense for war games as their practice matches for spartans before they go fight real fights. meaning weapons and vehicles from any faction or race would make perfect sense so their used to all situations

why not just reach level 130

congrats on securing the position of stupidest person on the forum! first off regardless of your playstyle a main aspect of them all is to know your playstyle's strengths and what distance its best at. then guess your enemies with the skills avalible to you. if you dont use those skills to determine what a enemy is using then no duh you died. and your statment of "charge into battle with the assult rifle whenever possible" says that you go right at the enemy without being aware of what their bringing to the table. your problem is not the boltshot being overpowered, cause its not. its your general lack of a smart playstyle.

i agree with you completly. as well as wish to add in they did a amazing job balancing all the weapons out as well as making each loadout weapon stand out from eachother

ok most people seem to be upset with the boltshot because either the lack the skill required to play halo or the lack the intellect to realize that charging into melee range is rather stupid when all loadouts feature a longer range weapon. infact if you were aware of your surroundings like most players are then you would not be able to be killed by the boltshot. this is why there are armor abilites like promethian vision. the person above me points out exactly why the argument against the boltshot is idiotic, i will counter his points 1. why the hell are you at close range without a melee power weapon anyways? if your that stupid you really deserve to be shot. 2. if their close enough to melee you then your still a idiot for getting that close 3. you cant complain about corner campers with you have the ability to find them, i.e. promethian vision 4. even run and gun boltshot users die 9/10 times as their running at someone with a long range weapon while holding a close range one that needs to be charged first. if their target is NOT retarded then the boltshot user will die every time and i want to point out that onlybigjim's ignorant comment of "The only diffrence between the Ordinance Shotguns and the Boltshot is, you spawn with the boltshot" is the stupidest thing i have heard all day. you can fire a shotgun fast enough to miss twice and still kill them. the boltshot requires a charge up time, which means you must have already picked a target and predicted their movement. then if you miss you have a cool down time while the enemy kills you. its a all or nothing weapon. and NOTHING LIKE THE SHOTGUN. so my main point is people need to stop charging the enemy then coming on here and complaining when their idiocy gets them killed

well i had a extra code that i planned on giving you since i got the limited edition and i got a code in my email as well. i just wanted to check your reasoning for not getting the limited edition as the specilizations seemed so important to you. but clearly your a gigantic ******* so my code will be better spent elseware.

thats not something that needs a fix either. lets say you miss a shot with the boltshot, your dead by default right? now if you miss with the shotgun you just shoot again. the shotgun is the better weapon when used correctly. people just dont seem to know how to fight the boltshot for some unknown reason

the DMR is not overpowered, people seem to be under that assumption because they assume that weapons can win in ANY situation, when they cant. stay in your weapons confort zone.

i leave matches quite often now even though i hated the very idea of it in halo reach. this is simply because if im paying for a good internet connection but im teleporting all over the screen and there is at least a .5 second lag between my input and my actions then its just not worth my time to play the match. so yes i quit. but only for lag related issues. it would be idiotic to add a penalty for quiting before the server issues are fixed, although i would approve of one once we can make sure that there wont be lag in many matches that would affect the overall preformance of the match

my favorite gun to use is the railgun, but my favorite loadout weapon is either the DMR or the suppressor

well although they added the boltshot which can one shot at close range they also added many tools to prevent such events from occuring. if the people complaining about the boltshot used promethian vision and a weapon made for the situation their walking into then their boltshot deaths would drop to near 0, im not saying thats the best for all situations but im saying it would help in many, you simply must change your loadout and playstyle based on whats being thrown at you in the match. but what i see happening far too often in matches over the 70 levels i have played through is people falling into the habit of charging into melee range, even with a long range weapon like the DMR simply because it worked well in past halo's. as the rules of the game are different people simply must adapt with it.
