Re: Just awful.
Posted By: General Vagueness <General.Vagueness@gmail.com>Date: 1/5/12 9:21 p.m.

In Response To: Re: Just awful. (Phoenix_9286)


: I apologize for that. I know what I said, but it was never my intent to imply
: there were only two camps. There's obviously more than that (Vagueness
: camp, Needlers only? ;P).

heh... I've played matches with only needlers, and it does lose some of its uniqueness and charm-- if the whole game was more crystalline and more explosiony and more pink it wouldn't stand out, which is a big part of what makes it interesting

: I'm well aware it's not all-powerful, but when you have a handful of
: gametypes devoted to using it and only it (Slayer Pro and Slayer DMRs for
: example. Why don't we have Slayer Pistols? Or Slayer Spikers? Slayer
: Grenade Launchers?)

we used to have those, like Hammers and Swords and Shotguns and the venerable Rockets, and they're still around, but they became rare in Halo 3, and they almost never show up in Reach, even in Action Sack (there is of course Snipers, which has a whole playlist, and if it makes any difference, there's kind of a pistol slayer-- it's SWAT Magnums)

: and it shows up as a starting weapon in nearly every game... It becomes
: a little difficult to not feel like we're walking back into Halo 3 where there was
: never a reason to use anything else.

: The more I talk about it the more I feel like I can't adequately express my
: position. I think the simplest I can make it is; It's not the gun I have a
: problem with. The gun is fine. Excellent even. It's the position and
: regard it seems to be held in. It feels as though it's everywhere, and it
: shouldn't be.

Well, while I'm against "one gun to rule them all", and having something be the one thing you'll want 90% of the time, but part of the reason that was so bad in Halo 3 (and somewhat in Halo 2) was that the BR wasn't such a good weapon in a lot of ways; basically I don't want the DMR to really be everywhere, but I'm much happier with it having that distinction than I would be with the BR.

: Ironically I think I have an easier time getting my feelings across in a
: verbal conversation. You'd think it'd be easier when I have all the time
: in the world to think it through and write it out.

I'm the same way... it's part of why I keep not passing English.

You cannot fall off the floor.
