Maybe I asked the wrong question.
Posted By: Louis Wu <halo@bungie.org>Date: 1/12/13 9:04 a.m.

In Response To: Re: What is IN this Title Update? (Schooly D)


Okay, fair(ish) point.

I have no stats for this, I can only speak for myself.

When I ran up against someone using BXR, I died. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

When I meet up with someone using the Boltshot, I die only when I'm not really paying attention. (The number of times I've heard that chargeup sound and backed out of range, only to kill the jerk with plasmas or my DMR, far exceeds the number of deaths I've actually experienced from the weapon.)

In a vacuum, then, your point is valid. In MY reality, anyway, they're vastly different beasts.

I guess I'd hoped the numbers thing would be the BEGINNING of a conversation, not the POINT of one. It's a legitimate question I have for people - why get so angry about 'Boltshot campers' over any other kind of killers? That's not a rhetorical question - I really want to know. So far, the only people who've addressed it in this thread are answering in general terms - and I don't think they can speak generally. I guess my real question is, why does it make you angry? (Not you, Schooly D, but you, anyone answering the question.) When you get killed by a Boltshot, you're not thinking, "this weapon is wildly overpowered and doesn't belong in the sandbox!" - it's more along the lines of "@#$&#$%@ Boltshot campers!" But if someone kills you with a DMR, you don't say "!##$*&#$@ DMR users!" - it's more along the line of "I had him! $#%#$ lag!" or something else unrelated to his choice of weapon. (Maybe even "wow, nice shooting!" If that's you, I want you on my friends list. :) )

And I want to know why? I just don't understand the hate. :(
