Re: My Thoughts on the Halo Series

In Response To: Re: My Thoughts on the Halo Series (DoT_Gunslinger)

: You see the symtoms of the bad game design that went into the BR when a
: sniper can stand a mile away out in the open pinning you on the spawn and
: you cannot touch him even with a BR. Your only option is to hide behind
: cover (if even available) and wait for the sniper to do something stupid.
: If he is ahead he'll just sit there and watch the clock tick to 0.
: Personally online pistols sounds more fun. At least I get to push buttons
: on my controller. There is rarely enough cover to make any approach at all
: to the sniper to force a close range encounter.

For one thing if your opponent is basicly spawn killing, you won't be able to do anything no matter what weapon you have. Another thing is that if you think anything other than a sniper should be able to touch someone "a mile away," that weapon is clearly over-powered and imbalanced. And if you already have such a weapon when you spawn, why go for anything else? These are things Bungie covered after Halo2 was released. All horses are gone. They've all been beaten to the point of extinction. Mark my words the Flamingo will be next.
