Poll: To Halo 3 players

[Daniel_Rosamilia]

Anything where there's a Warthog. Usually slayer or one bomb for me. Why yes, I am a driver.

*high five for drivers*
Driving the Mongoose has it's moments.

Ever tried using a Mongoose in the open, when the other team have snipers and Spartan Lasers?
It's fun, but a ***** to get through.

PING PING BZZZEEEWWW BOOOM!!!
I kinda flew a bit... alive. Oh, and then some smart-ass on my team decided it would be fun to fire into the air. BANGSPRACK! Me dead.

 

[Joshimodo]

Give me Team BRs on Valhalla or Avalanche, let me get the laser and sit around, since I'll be getting around 30 of the 50 kills.

Hell, give me any map with the laser.

That actually sounds fun.

I'm gonna go ahead and say Griffball. When I hear that the weekend event is a Griffball playlist i'm pretty much stuck on halo 3 until it's over. Otherwise I have to admit I don't go on halo much anymore, I've just moved onto otherthings.

I love griffball. Shame I couldn't add it.

Nice to know that the escapist has a following, also the by far best thing i've heard so far about Reach is that their is the announcer saying "griffball" (ok not really the best thing, but still!)

We should get our own escapist grifball league going, you know because were awesome and all that.

I wouldn't mind that or a XBL community playdate.

I'm sure it would be easy enough to organise, the beauty of griffball is that connection doesn't matter as much as it does with the other game types. Also, we get to have teams and crush our opposition

True. So very true. We should organize something like that.

I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to organise something, likely all we would have to do is make a thread and keep that thread active long enough for at least some people to sign up to the idea. I like the idea of a league, with a trophy, which one of us could make!

Big fan of Shotty Snipers. It provides some variety in the gameplay and doesn't just turn into a snipe-fest everytime

everything that doesn't spwan us with BR's is awesome in this game.

because that gun is better than too many other guns, making most of them almost pointless unless your aim with said BR is bad, and the enemy's aswell.
but that's not likely.

Luckily a lot of people can't use it, and if you know what you're doing, you can still kill them. Don't hate on the BR, it's not as invincible as you think.

5shot is pretty damn easy, I'm nowhere near a 'pro' player because i don't take it seriously, hell, its flat out better and easier to than most non-power weapons, and almost better than an average or weaker sniper.
i dunno, trueskill system has put me against plenty of people whom are decent enough with it to make things not so fun.
I hate on it because it discourages me to use the other weapons in the game, unless I don't want to try to win.
plus burst fire is for n00b guns, see COD's M16.

Well they're changing it to single shot for Reach in the DMR. But I don't know how firing modes automatically label a gun "n00b"-ish, I generally keep that title for area of effect weapons such as the splazer, rocket launcher, and brute shot. Not saying those are bad weapons; they just take less focus to handle and are inherently easier to kill with.

I know [about the DMR], and I LIKE IT A LOT, and to me at least, burst fire combines recoil of automatic with the trigger pulling of a semi-auto, and I don't like it, I much prefer either single-shot, or full auto, where I choose how big my burst is, be it 2shots, or the magazine.

the n00b title comes from the call of duty games, where the M16 IS n00bish, and from personal dislike.

I've never noticed the BR giving recoil at all; or at least none that's worth noticing. It could be I've just gotten used to it. But you overlook the handiness of having with is essentially three times the chance for a headshot; just drag your aim over where the head is, and since it fires three bullets, you get three chances for a kill. You can also do this to kill three people at once (and yes, this is possible, I've done it; though two is certainly more common).

Beyond that, labeling weapons as "n00bish" and then not using them to your own disadvantage is just that; a disadvantage. It can be crippling to refuse to use a decent weapon just because it's "n00bish".

I just finished another match of H3, Mongoose, rockets and splazers on some random indoors map with a spinning platform near the top, and a LOT of grav lifts, fusion coils and a makeshift ramp. VRRRRRRREOOOOWWWWW PSHOW BOOOOM BANG BZZZEWWWW Killtacular!

Server heavy, but EPIC.
Perfect map to send people up... and up... and up... into the roof for a nice SPLAT and fall.
Good target practice as well.

okay, recoil was bad term, spread is more appropriate in this case, and yeah, you get 3 chances to go for the headshot, which makes it easier to use (better for new players) than the carbine.
I didn't say I don't use the BR, I said I dislike almost having to or else I suffer the disadvantage.
I want to use dual magnums and have an actual chance at a distance or close, but the easymode (that's a better word for it) rifle makes that a pain in the ass to pull positive K/D in the TDM match.

goddamit, I WANT THAT DMR NOW!

 

[Chaos Bringer]

Shotty or Team Snipers.

 

[Fidelias]

I just like good old team slayer. You actually have to find your own weapons and plan against enemies that have better weapons than you, rather than everyone spawning with the same.

But out of those I'd say Team Snipers. Sniping is fun.

 

[Cody Bauer]

I enjoy shotty snipes as well, but the whole bungie aspect when you shoot someone in the head and it does nothing kind of takes away from the halo 3 expirence

What's wrong with the spread? It's pretty damn accurate; I know the first shot is perfect aim, with the next two spreading very slightly each. Beyond that, I wouldn't call it the "easy mode" rifle over the carbine, I'll test it tomorrow, but I'm fairly certain that if you fire a BR and carbine into a person repeatedly the BR will still take them out first, on body or on head. And using dual magnums is, frankly, somewhat bass-ackwards; it just takes the damage up to that of the BR/Carbine while removing your ability to throw grenades which, as much as I hate them, is a pretty integral part of combat as well.

 

[silver wolf009]

team swat. im something of a prodgey with the BR.

...What? If you shoot someone in the face you get a snipe, it's simple. I guess I misunderstand the statement? Are you talking about the shotgun, maybe? Otherwise it's lag or your own bad aim that causes it to "do nothing".

 

[Cody Bauer]

hahaha, definitely not, i'm good at halo and it's always a ***** everytime i play. Everyone has expirenced how bad bungie fails its audience.

 

[SantoUno]

Team snipers has always been fucking awesome for me, because it is always possible to get a kill due to being able to get kills from afar.

You are joking right?

*see the video on page 1* while it's not Team Snipers, I know what you mean.

still, it fires 3 rounds, not allowing me to fire more or less.
I hate the BR because it makes matches much less interesting, IE take out the cool things like "shit, i spawned on the spikers/plasma rifles/SMG's, time to improvise! or, my personal favourite, the dual magnums.
with a BR spawn game, you just don't have a practical incentive to grab anything other than a power weapon.

not a fan of the gun, because I flat out dislike firing 3 rounds when i could just have 1 that does 3x damage, and I hate the frequency of the gametype that spawns you with them.
1v1 fight with spawn guns [BR's vs. normal]
AR+magnum combo:
he got slight jump spraying that AR at distance?
time to fire SELF CONTROLLED BURSTS to drop shields while getting the strafe on, then switch guns for quicker headshot kill
awesome.
same deal with team BR's
well, do the usual strafe, aim for body for 3 bursts, 4th one you aim upper chest, aiming a little higher during the burst to 4-shot.
miss? no biggie, you have a very easy 5th burst kill.
lame, MLG wannabes shit a brick for some reason when you 4-shot

all this said, team SWAT is fun, dualing the pistols as an elite.
hell, 2 kills from a perfection in it the other day.
