And I've NEVER put a handicap on myself, nor would I. I do check for them whenever I start a game because my friends all think it's really funny to put one on me when I'm not around. :p The shotgun, I have decided, is an utterly rubbish weapon. I'll substitute it any day for duel needlers, which although more annoying is a far superior weapon in terms of damage and reliability. But really, I want the overpowered halo 1 pistol back. |

I will tell you what though; those old pistols really made everyone a pro at Halo 1. I can't decide if I want them back, or happy that they changed them.
|
Dual weilding Pistols out of Halo 2 is rather devastating. Heh- my friends hate me because of them. I don't constantly use them, but when I'm in a corner and he just stole my coke... You get the idea.
But I really wish they would bring back the ol' pistol. Make it one handed- I don't care! I just want it back. |

Probably the best weapon for taking out anyone using needlers is the rocket launcher. It's the only weapon in the game that stands the chance of killing someone in one hit with any probability of success. Sure, you can headshot someone with a sniper rifle if you happen to be carrying one - but can you do that the second you see a dual needler whore, and not let him fill you with needles first? Personally I still think the battlerifle + sword setup is the best. Just five direct hits with the battlerifle will kill, so long as the person hasn't got an overshield. And if anyone comes near you, sword em! |
Actually if you were handicapped that would explain why you didn't make a kill with 2 rocket's.....
And the new magnum suck's yes. |
Yeah, the new magnum is gay, but it's damn handy in games like zombies. And duel needlers are crap, in my opinion, they always miss the target.
|
The dual needlers are underestimated too often. Not many people out there use them properly; there is a lot more to the weapon than just "spray and pray." While a solitary needler is useless, dual needlers are devastating at mid-range if you know how to lead your target. The needler is the only weapon in the game that requires a significant amount of leading, which most people don't do. Therefore, most people don't like it.
Like me for example. I don't like having to switch my aiming mannerisms (leading more) for a single weapon. That's just personal preference, though. A friend of mine prefers dual needlers to every weapon and is damn good with those things, if I do say so myself. If the user wields it properly and is decent at anticipating the moves of his opponent, then the needler is indeed deadly. Personally, I'll go for the plasma pistol and magnum. It fits my style of play better than needlers. As for the shotgun, I'm all for it. It may just be my affinity for shotguns in nearly all FPSs (barring the Rainbow Six games... those shotties sucked), but the slight unreliability is overshadowed by raw power. In other words, "works just fine for me." :p |
:
yes :p Best combo in my opinion, and many others, is Battle Rifle + Plasma Pistol. Charged Shot, switch to BR, and you can literally kill anyone in a split second. It's even more usefull because it can easily take down Overshields. Best magnum combos would be SMG + Mag or Mag + Plasma Pistol |
Sligster, once again we are in complete agreement. Thoes charged shots can be deadly. My personal favorite is a charged shot with a plasma pistol to get the shield down, and a couple of well placed shots with a duel weilded SMG. I prefer this to the battle rifel because it takes me too long to switch weapons. I guess you are just must faster than me :)
|
I've killed someone with two charged shots once - dual wielded plasma pistols, both charged, fired one first, then the other, and killed outright.
By the way Alpha, I wasn't the one firing the rockets - the rockets were being fired AT me. Another bug: if you set "extra damage" on, and "damage resistance" to counteract it, the game doesn't register damages properly, and you get loads of wierd results from shooting people. |

A montage from Walka, showing some impressive sniping & grenade throwing. I wish I could get one from Devin Olsen, though.... if you havn't seen his videos, Devin Olsen is amazing at sniping. His last video had a nice conclusion of him throwing a grenade, sniping it out of the air, and getting a triple kill. Alas, the bandwidth has run out.
Anyway, Walka's montage: http://www.str8rippin.com/downloads/...str8rippin.wmv |

some of you may be wondering
"what about the remaining 5 maps that are supposed to be out in June?" the kindly soul of Luke Timmins has written up a review of 4 of the 5 maps- Relic, Terminal, Gemini, and Elongation (Longest). For some reason, Backwash is being kept under wraps.... hmmm... There are no pictures, sadly, but very nice descriptions of the 4 maps. http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/...pl?read=597289 I can't wait to play Terminal :) |
I can't believe that some people are STILL playing Halo. Aren't you guys bored with it yet?
