Re: This isn't scientific stuff. *LONG*

In Response To: Re: This isn't scientific stuff. (uberfoop)


Lets look at your original retort.

: So if someone gives fuel and matches to a known arsonist, and a house is
: burned down shortly thereafter, the former person is not to be blamed for
: commiting any sort of irresponsible actions?

: It's great if players can all play in ways that are interesting for the other
: players, but if a game encourages them to do otherwise, and they do
: otherwise, that's partly the fault of the game.

I was not latching on to one minuet part of your argument, I was pointing out that literally HALF of your argument was bad.

Look dude I don't know why you seem to hunt down every post I make about online matchmaking games or balance and argue with them, but it's getting pretty annoying. Especially since anyone who's taken a level 1 college English, public speaking, or debate course, can see that almost every argument you make against what I put is blatant hyperbole, misdirection, circular reasoning, generalization, or "begging the question," the last of which can be blatantly seen in your candy argument.

I don't understand why you get your rocks off arguing with my posts until you feel you've "won," but it's annoying, and I'm probably going to just ignore most of your responses to my stuff anymore.

I'm going to reinforce why the boltshot really is not that big of a problem. I do almost exclusively play big team, which could be why I don't find the boltshot to be as big of a problem, or as common, but here we go.

1)Someone has to camp somewhere and let you come to them.
2)Whether or not they were camping with the Boltshot, a Suppressor, or just camping to melee, if someone takes the time to sit somewhere long enough that you will have NO IDEA where they are, you will die no matter what. That's not the boltshot killing you, it's the camping.
3)Charge it to late, it wont be ready to fire and the boltshotter will most likely die. Charge it to early, and it will fire on it's own, eating up ammo, wasting one of two charge shots per clip, and giving away your position.
4)Using a boltshot means that this player is very vulnerable against vehicles. They're giving up the ability to defend themselves against vehicles to have a gun they'll probably get 1-4 kills a game with. Doesn't exactly help the team.
5)If you do happen to see a player, wounded or not, run around a corner in to cover and then they just sit there and camp, you should use your brain as a Halo player, and not blindly rush around a corner to your death.
6)A boltshot will lose to an ordnance weapon almost every time. Snipers will not be rushing it. Any form of rockets or shotguns will get the killing shot off if you're half a decent Halo player. The only Ordnance that might lose is the Needler, and that's because it's effectiveness is very circumstantial.

Honestly I could keep going on about the boltshot, but I know it will fall on deaf ears as the Internet has already decreed it is OP, and therefor it will be so until it gets nerfed into uselessness, much like half the stuff in ME3 MP that was fine to begin with. So enjoy the "OP boltshot" while you can Halo nation, for the cries of the internet will make sure it's completely worthless in a months time.

The plasma pistol is better anyway...just saying.
