ARs CTF on high ground is fucking retarded. too snowbally. and ordinarily, im not the kind of guy to complain about halo being unforgiving to bad players, but its game over the second one team gets map control with the warthogs and laser. beyond stupid. same with slayer ARs on any pseudo-big team map like sandtrap. if you know what you're doing it's a good idea to keep ARs on those maps, but most people run around like headless chickens so.

AR starts are objectively better than BR starts, IMO.

depends on the map, and there are /very/ few maps which work better with AR starts. and even that is dangerous. keeping ARs is never really a safe option, it only really works if you know 100% you're better than the other squad. see, halo is all about map control. coordinated teams in competitive play will absolutely shitstomp the enemy if they get the slightest advantage in an ARs gametype. you get 4 downed one time, and suddenly you all spawn with an ar and a pistol. the hell can you do with those? you're forced to either crouch around hoping to catch someone with shitty awareness or you have to make a beeline for a br or carbine, and anyone with half a brain would have already either taken that ammo or kill you the second you pop your head out.

IMO, the best map in Halo 3 for AR starts was The Pit. AR>BR on The Pit at all times for me.

The Halo 3 pistol maybe. But if you're telling me you can't work with an Assault Rifle and a Pistol in Halo: CE/Reach/4/5  then you need to git gud.

And A coordinated team can also make a comeback and roflstomp the other coordinated team. Play with friends more often, becuase terrible teamates will always exist in Halo. Giving them a BR on spawn doesn't make them better, and honestly seem kind of noob friendly.

Anyone with half a brain can easily beat a BR/Carbine with a pistol and AR.


Sound like your mind is still stuck in the Halo 3 days, which I do admit BRs were somewhat better in certain circumstances, but coupled with the shit netcode, the BR was terrible.

the pit is one of the most dangerous maps to pick ARs on. map control is extremely hard to break because of the location of rockets/camo/ovies. and even with BRs, pit games often ended with less than 20 kills total. it wasnt a good map for slayer at all. i cant speak for ce because ive never played, but in h3/reach/h4 you are absolutely beyond fucked if you have ar/magnum and the enemies have DMRs or BRs. reach is the worst offender honestly because the AR is such a weak piece of shit, and the magnum cant begin to compare to the beyond retarded DMR in terms of pure power.

you tell me to play with friends more often as if you think i searched solo when i still played. to4 against a to4 in 50 high, or onyx, or whatever halo 4's pathetic excuse for a ranking system was, it's always extremely difficult to break map control against a coordinated team if you dont spawn with a mid range precision weapon. you dont just "get map control back." i think you have fundamentally misunderstood the nature of the game.

>Halo 4
>Meaningful ranking system

Can't really use being paired with people better than you as an excuse. You're basically saying you need a crutch because you're not good enough to fight the enemy team with an AR and Pistol. While your at it, you should spawn with Rockets and full overshield to make it more fair too.

Depends on the game/map and the skill level of your own team. A poor ranking system is more to blame, not you not spawning with a base weapon.

Quote

Yes you do. That's why it's called map control. You can gain or lose it. It's not the sandbox's fault the ranking system is broken/you're too scrub at the game to win.

2 classic is alright but just like 2A, it's always coagulation and zanzibar and the former is too big. zanzibar makes me wanna scratch my eyes out with how dull it is

halo 3 btb is awesome, a bit too much of vallaha for my tastes but w/e

you must not be logged in. i am not logged in to waypoint with the email i used for my old xbox account, and i can see these stats just fine. pray tell me, is there another halo stats site worth using? its my understanding that halocharts is entirely dead. halotracker recently fucked itself beyond belief and is now nigh-impossible to use. metahalo has been dead for years, and bungie's old data is outdated.

just go to waypoint and search for oh typhlosion.

Mostly campaign and/ or forge. Only playlist I consider is BTB, and that is either shitty H2 classic or lolhalo3. I wish there was a Halo 4 playlist.

I don't understand. Halo 2/ 3 dont feel like you've actually hit the target. Maybe it's cause all the guns sound fucking terrible and don't have any impact.

Ooookkkk. I still loved it, and so did thousands upon thousands of others who played it until they shutdown the servers entirely, and why it seems to be a popular choice on Halo MCC.

Sure it probably was not a finished game, Bungie even said so in those The Making Of Halo 2 videos. So much had to be cut.
