Nothing wrong with this IMO. Its how all shooters should be, they should all have an element of spawn trapping. You lose enough position you deserve to be spawn killed.

Agreed.

but dude couldn't even move ..

I'm really liking child of light. Glad I got it

 

[djyoung08]

Pretty sure you're not the only person spawn trapping in CoD.

I was joking about making him rage

Because he was joking about making me mad

I need to remember I'm on NT sometimes.

I posted in the PS thread, but COD related.

As you can see, we had 33% of the points. I can see getting dominated, but not when you hold one point.

When Call of Duty had War, it was part of that game mode. Dom is not War.

And if you want to glorify spawn camping, that's your prerogative, but you are part of the reason people are moving away from the franchise.

The score wasnt what I was referencing, moreso the fact that he deaths are piling up. At any point during the course of a game if you die that much or everyone on your team dies in a short window then you deserve to be punished for it. 

I only play COD casually so maybe I'm biased but thats how Halo works. You play any map long enough and you'll learn spawns, I know all the spawns on the H3 maps. You get 4 dead and you have the opportunity to spawn kill in most cases.



A lot of shooters dont punish people enough for dying IMO, with too many spawn points, quick spawning, and huge maps, when you die you just quickly get over it and its of no consequence

This is way different though than getting trapped in COD.

Strongside or any player has to actually have skill to do what he just did with all those headshots dead on and some weren't even scoped in.

Where as COD what emperstrikes is getting hit with is some average player because it doesn't take that much skill to do that due to not needing to get a headshot.

Also, in Halo the players even though they're spawned in they have a chance and in COD once he spawns there is a delay in empires movement and there isn't much he can do and he gets killed.

What was done by Strongside in Halo takes skill, and extreme skill at that, because that is not something that is easy to due and pull off like that what was done in COD was some B fool youtuber with a clan playing random's and thinking they're good until they are put up against dudes with skills and they get exposed... I call that JNasty dudes

Another good example is with Street Fighter yeah they have a lot of skilled players, but what Daigo did that year against Wong in 3rd strike when he parried Chunli's super and won that match which is probably the greatest evo moment up until now. That right there is not something that can be done even by elite players and Daigo is probably up there too and he had said that he couldn't believe he pulled it off because it is not something he can do on the fly like that.

With the exception of the 3ark COD's they're all just cash cows but I dont' know what it is that keeps me playing it though it's like I hate in and complain about it but I continue to play it. I think the COD community is what made COD bad though.

Sandy Ravage said it best they should have a playlist where stats don't count towards your regualar stats and I can bet it would be the most played.

In a nut shell, halo takes more shots to kill thus people have a chance to run or fight back. In cod you get shot, you're dead.

Or what you said

Cod>>>> halo

Being a good Halo player is so much more rewarding that being a good CoD player.

It's a shame that Halo lost it's number 1 spot.

It lost it's spot because of the learning curve. Had dudes fleeing to cod

Really hoping the master chief halo game offers a cool collectors edition

I have high hopes for the hardend + prestige (or what ever naming they use this year) editions of cod this year.

A lot of the newer players who are going to play Halo for the first time are going to hate it for this very reason... but this is the same reason I and others love it.

 

[iYen]

Halo is alright.
Cod is better because i'm already back in the game before my death animation finishes.

THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING, IMO.

 

[mister doitnice]

Yeah man. I never had trouble waiting to respawn in Halo 2/3. It wasn't until I started playing COD consistently that I turned into an impatient rage monster.

 

[blastercombo]

The respawn time is part of the consequence or dying. A 4v4 fight becomes a 3v4 not a constant 4v4 because you come right back.

Taking more shots to kill also leads to a higher skill gap. The better player will ALWAYS win, I love that fact. Cod basically boils down to a hide and seek match. Whoever finds who first wins. In halo the fight isn't over till it's over.

Cod:

1. Get the good guns by just playing all day
2. Memorize the map
3. Find 3-4 hiding places
4. Get a kill and rotate hiding places

 

[mister doitnice]

I'll always remember on halo 2, racing for the rocket launcher on that one map with the elevator in the middle. Lay low and wait for the other team to run in recklessly. Hop out with the super jump and get the double kill. All while you're coordinating with your teammates to rush the basement for the plasma sword. Euphoria...

CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT HALO COLLECTION.

PROBABLY WON'T BE THE SAME WITH NO ONE TALKING IN GAMES ANYMORE

 

[carver]

Yeah, that's the sucky part.. it's definitely going to be quiet.. that was part of the crazy fun experience.

But as long as the gameplay is how it was I'll be fine.

I'm actually hoping Halo return will change this. Get you Xbox dudes back on the mic.

And yes I'm a COD guy, that's because I feel like if I shoot a guy 2/3 times in the chest he should be dead. That's just IMO though.

I did log in a bunch of hours in Halo 2 though. It was all system link hours though. So I'm getting the collection just to experience Halo online. You guys say it's the greatest thing ever so I want to see. I know it won't be the same as back in the day. Let's just hope it's close.

There's really nothing wrong with being a COD person.. some prefer the if I shoot first and land a couple shots they should die, even if it's the toe.

Halo, a lot of the time comes down to who has the better shot.. shooting someone first gives you the advantage but you don't autowin a fight like you would in cod. But like I said before nothing wrong with preferring the cod formula.

Melee killing someone who thought they had the drop on in halo.

 

[djyoung08]

at this halo vs. CoD talk.

They both have their pros and cons.

Played halo 3 last night and wow does it feel dated.. but that nostalgia though

Not being able to "aim down sights" on most guns.. sucks :x

No load outs and everyone has access to the same things on the map.. very level playing field.. Fire

Where as CoD - Some guns have a TTK (time to kill) that is lower than the average ping (the speed at which your internet gives and receives data from a server) thus making it feel like you were killed in "one shot", "instantly", etc.... has always sucked :x

CoD gives you a very big rush when you're kill streaking and you feel invincible. Just last night I popped in black ops2 and had a 30 something a 2 game on the Nuke Town reboot map. Thats a rush I dont get from Halo.

Also FPS Esports has been revolutionized by CoD. I know it doesnt have a huge following but i LOVE CoD Esports and follow the MLG teams the way most guys follow their favorite NBA/NFL/Etc. teams.

At the end of the day, yes their both FPS games, but they're 2 different beasts. Its like comparing Need For Speed and Forza, Five Guys to In-n-Out, etc. They might offer you something similar, you might like one more than the other, but they're different.
