In Response To: Re: Maybe I asked the wrong question. (Louis Wu) : See... you're a poster child for the 'my anger at this weapon makes my : perception of reality not match the reality of reality'. : You have a grand total of 36 deaths to the Boltshot in Regicide. I looked at
The Boltshot was a topic of discussion when playing against those same people the entire night. The Boltshot itself led to a really beautiful number of DMR deaths to people who used it to one-shot me before I even managed to get their shields down. It was an on-going discussion in each game with those randoms, particularly about how they couldn't beat me when I challenged them to use their DMR to fight me but when they used that Boltshot, even if it didn't finish the job immediately, I was done for even if they clipped my foot while I was hopping around trying to avoid it. Shields completely gone, sitting duck after that. I can't back anything up in regards to many deaths came due to Boltshot hit first, followed by death via DMR a second later. At least I can strafe Plasma Pistol shot up close or from a distance. : 16 deaths out of 181 total - even the WORST game only had four deaths
As a DIRECT RESULT of it. That doesn't mean the Boltshot one-hit kill me each of those time. It obliterates shields instantly, and when you're up close and personal like that, good luck out-DMRing them after they've landed that first hit with the Boltshot. The conversations all night were pretty interesting with those randoms, and those randoms conceded by the end of it that their best bet nearly every time was closing distance and having that Boltshot because of the fact that they couldn't out-DMR or Pistol me. : Eh. I don't think I'm going to get a rational discussion about this. I can
DMR has its own balance issues, but that's not the point of this discussion and no one really seems interested in discussing it because the Boltshot is really special at angering. I also provided my example (not from those Regicide games) of coming up against an Anti or an Unreal who really love to have that thing because everyone else does now, so that when they're one shot, if someone chases to get that last kill (or to get the melee kill, as might happen in H3 and Reach), boom, one shot kill on an opponent who most likely wouldn't have died in that situation. : I apologize to anyone I've offended by asking the questions I've been asking,
Not sure if this is directed at me, because I don't feel that at all. I genuinely don't like the Boltshot, you asked why, and I've stated my case (perception/reality/opinion/fact all influencing it). I don't feel my time's been wasted at all. Also, Korny calling me out about opinions was hilarious, since up until that point I hadn't even posted in this thread or said much of anything beyond a post or two previously stating that I absolutely can't stand it and want it gone (and, last I checked, I am entitled that opinion, misguided or not). So yeah.
