the PR SMG combo was weakened because it was so hard to survive, and was used to often, PP shot tracking lessened, BR burst shot had less spread, and the SMG was given more damage vs banshees.
oh and the brute shot is worth using now. Uber melees, and because the frag grenades were made more powerful, brute shots gained more powerful shots.
Anyway, I'm trying to get a kid to hook up his halo 2 here....but otherwise I'm gonna be rusty....but I have improved pheonix......(leetist..................thing.....you.....................)
Basicly, online, it's become a
Use the BR in almost all situations, but use other guns as a secondary.
pisses me off like no tommorow.
the BR is the most powerful common weapon in the game. So it really pisses me off on certain maps when they want a BR start.
By giving people "power weapons" as starting weapons, you ruin ALL the weapons.
Part of me thinks lock out needs a BR due to it's construction. It's just to easy to pin people down when you camp on the BR tower with the SR.
otherwise I think the only map needs a BR start is coagulation.
waterworks is so large, and so anti-sniper friendly, that a BR isn't needed as a starter.
Beaver Creek is to small for a BR
Warlock is to open.
Containment has so many weapons at the bases as well as being sniper unfriendly it's not needed.
Headlong is fairly small, in relative terms.
midship is to small
foundation has no cover.

bungie did that because sooo many people complained..now all everyone does is throw grenades like stupid noobs without even shooting their SMG's.it's such a pain..and then they wonder why they lose later on...Bungie had melee attacks about twice as powerful so you can kill someone with two or three melee attacks. The magnum was made weaker while the needler and plasms rifle were made slightly stronger. They made the frag grenades dangerous so it's possible to kill someone with a well planted grenade. If not, they're guarenteed to take away a shield.
So the patch is in effect now?..when was it applied?
It does sound noobish to nade spam, but thats usually a low-risk choice (unless friendly fire is on 😈 ) .. so I guess try friendly fire matches to reduce nade-whore probabilities
the patch doesn't do much because people with DSL connections can still do it...and people that use action reply to fire 6 rounds a shot in a BR are worst of all..they're the new people that severly need to be dealed with...(once you're level gets into the high 20's-30's in skirmish and slayer it'll happen.)
but you say you've improved huh robo?
How about proving it in like a team trining game?
one on one's are boring...
Basically, if your able to kill a guy with your Spawn SMG, your halfway there.
There are two schools of training you can progress down oh young grasshopper.
You may progress down the path of the Pheonix, learning the skills of the Sniper Rifle, and headshots. Through this school, you will learn the path to eliminating the enemy's foundation, crumbling their entire team. With Time, you will learn how to single handedly defeat entire teams with your Rifle. It is a lonely path. but a powerful one.
The Second School is the Chocobo School. Here you will learn the path of the warrior. You will follow the rule of unorthodox if you take this school. (aka follow the path of the pheonix.)
It is not about "being the sniper", or having the sword. It is about using the elements present to defeat your opponents. Every team has a sniper, but the sniper is nearly worthless without COMPETENT men who don't have the luxury of having a power weapon to engage the enemy.
it is about keeping team mates alive, and an overall goal.
When you find yourself realizing that you no longer rush the SR on Zanzibar, but instead cover a team mate for it, you have taken your first step.

Yes, once you learn how to be a deadly ninja with only 1 SMG, you will be on the first steps.
actually to be hnest the SMG is one of the worst guns in the game..I rarely use it..a plasma rifle folliwing a beat down is better and a plasma pistol charged up attack plus a melee attack is instant kill. no i take that back..the needler is still a PoS, and so is the magnum by itself...
you should get live dark its only 50 dollars a year..(with the 12 month card thingy)
