Re: This isn't scientific stuff.

In Response To: This isn't scientific stuff. (Joe Duplessie (SNIPE 316))


: Not really angry, just disappointed.

: Because it causes deaths (whether it's 10 or 10,000) that I don't deserve. My
: opponent isn't being clever or skillful when using a BS, he's using it to
: get cheap kills because he doesn't feel like having to aim.

: It's more along the lines of, "Why isn't this the Forerunner close range
: power weapon, instead of the redundant Scattershot?".

: This also.

: Not even remotely similar. DMR/BR/Carbine/LR take skill to kill with
: effectively, unlike close range weapons. Especially one you spawn with.

: Bloom, usually.

: Because the BS is a 1sk weapon that you spawn with, takes no skill to use,
: reloads very quickly, and effectively has unlimited ammo.

: What I don't understand is how anyone can think it's not overpowered. There
: is no argument to be had really, I mean, it's OP. Pretty clearly. There is
: no defending it.

: Now as I said before, the Scattershot is redundant. It is not any different
: from the Shotgun. I would love the BS if it was the Forerunner close range
: power weapon instead of the Scattershot, I think it would be unique and
: awesome.

I don't think it's OP, and that's not because I use it, because I don't. I can probably count on both my hands the number of times the BoltShot has killed me in matchmaking. And I've been playing since day 1.

If someone runs around a corner and camps there, you know it happened, you have a Motion Tracker. Don't be dumb and they wont get a boltshot kill. If they've been camping around a corner without moving long enough that you never even got to see them on your motion tracker and you walk around a corner and just die, then 2 things will have happened.

1) That person will end the match with 5-10 kills. They aren't exactly helping their team break through the grind for the win.

2) You would have died no matter what gun they were using. The only difference is whether it was one boltshot shot, a melee and then a killing gun shot, or a melee to the back. No matter what, you would have died.

Don't hate the game, hate the player. They're the ones who camped after all
