In Response To: Would you honestly play with a beefed up $600 gun? ([AMS] GreyThor)
: Really. Tippman 98 C's cost way less than $200 these days, and asking for 600
: more is definitely a rip-off. I'd rather get the military A-5 model than
: that. If you are really into it, go ahead and make your own version.
: Frankly, I don't see the use in that gun because it's extended and there
: doesn't seem to be a second grip handle. That decreases your ability to
: fire accurately dramatically.
: And if I were to develop a Halo 2 gun from my 98 Custom, I'd model it from
: the SMG, due to its relatively small size. You could mount a small,
: accurate barrel onto it and devote it to close incounter speedball, where
: a very small, very short barrel would do you the most good in tight
: quarters - especially in building matches. Test it out: Can you bring a 2
: foot barrel 98 C to bear on a target before that target brings about a
: shorter 8 inch barrel to bear on you? The shorter barrel would win out,
: all the time, given the same conditions. You don't have to turn as much.
: Also, the SMG allows for a second grip, which is already included in the
: 98 Custom, so accuracy is just a great as a standard stock gun.
: I've been playing paintball for about four years now, among amateurs and
: proffesionals and won and lost among them too. I know what I'm talking
: about. :)
: However, I still think that Battle Rifle model is pretty cool.
: Now if there was a sniper-rifle gun with a bannana barrel, or an S-barrel...
: you could reach out and touch someone. Get a V-stand for it, hide in an
: azalea bush, and they won't see what's coming. However, if you'll do that,
: which I do, you'd need a short range paintball pistol for those that come
: too close to you and you couldn't get a bead on the target.
: When I go into the game: If it's short range, 98 Custom with a mid-sized
: barrel (14 inch). If it's Speedball, I go in with an 8 inch barrel. If
: it's long range, I swap out my barrel for my sniping barrel, and set up a
: system of relocation bases, and take along my paintball pistol. What's
: cool about my sniping barrel is that it has a sound suppression part
: hooked up too. To compensate for the lost velocity, I crank up my gun's
: velocity setting.
: Pretty sick, eh?
Do you think that any of that strategy and stuff you use in paintball has made you better at Halo 2 MP? I've always wondered if just looking up some infantry tactics would help me, or if a videogame is a totally inappropriate transfer for that type of knowledge.
