In Response To: Ya, holding a weapon sucks. ([AMS] GreyThor)
: Really, I'd change Halo 2 MP if I had the opportunity to a countdown respawn
: timer based on the last weapon pick-up of it's type. That way, battles on
: the map will be more over location than over weapons. Ya, I'd love to use
: that Sniper Rifle that I just stole from a dead enemy, but if he kills me,
: and I'm just lucky enough to respawn next to the Sniper Rifle respawn
: point, and find no extra Sniper Rifle, it's just a tad frustrating.
This I agree with, the controlled weapon spawning was not a great idea at all, and probably could have been reworked had they had a larger time span.
: About the Plasma Pistol. For God's sake, take the Homing Feature off! At
: least degrade it enough so it was the Halo 1's homing feature. I swear
: that overcharged burst did a 30 degree course change when I fired it off
: at an enemy from extreme range.
I wouldn't say take the homing feature off, I'd rather the overcharge left you stuck with it for a bit until it is done overheating. I think that would have been a perfect way to counter it because honestly, the Magnum/PP dual works the same way, it just doesn't have as long a range and is much more skillfull and I could handle that. I don't havea problem with the combo, becasue at times, it's easy to dodge, but on maps like Coag, you don't stand a chance.
: As for the Banshee... it's tough, but RL's usually counter it nicely.
: Especially on Coagulation. But I disagree with the invincibility. Some
: people are so skill-less when it comes to piloting and firing, that I was
: able to take out a few Banshees with the Battle Rifle today.
Now about the Banshee, I don't have the peak of skills with it, it's not my favorite. Even so, if I get in the banshee on a good day and if I know which person on the other taem has rockets, which I usually do thanks to good communication, I will never lose it unless I get careless or someone gets a lucky stick. Rockets are sooo easy to dodge if you know who has them, so yes, the Banshee needs to be nerfed.
Other then those few points, I gotta say that 1up definetly turned out a great article, it wasn't all "Yu suxx0rs bungie cuz I am leet and your game sucks" It was actually a pretty good read and really thought out. I almost totally agree with everything they said.
