Specifically covenant weapons. This wasn’t a problem when the game first came out and everyone had to, oh I don’t know, actually go find anti-vehicle weapons to combat vehicles. But now that everyone can just have 2 plasma grenades and a plasma pistol by default, even the scorpion is just a minor inconvenience. It ruins vehicles and vehicles based games like BTB. I don’t have a problem with the loadout system itself but plasma grenades and the plasma pistol shouldn’t be a part of it.
Drive better or don’t use vehicles as much? They were trying to make it a bit more challenging to get so many vehicle kills, unlike Reach.
EDIT: also, while plasma pistol can take you down for a few seconds, plasma pistol ammo runs out much faster than it used to, and it takes more than one stick to take down vehicles, sometimes even 3+. When you get wheelman spec, you’ll be less affected by plasma charge, so what does it matter? Disregarding loadouts, even some power weapons take longer now to destroy vehicles (laser, rockets, etc). Seems like an okay trade, it’s just different than what you’re used to.
Yep it’s much harder to rush with vehicles now. You really need to think twice before ramming with a ghost. Just stay back, use your ranged weapons and ram only if enemy is not facing you. Same with a warthog.
This is a good thing.
It means players wont rack up 50+ kills in a Tank/Warthog/Ghost/Mantis with next to no competition.
Admit it, you’re just annoyed because you want easier kills.
No one ever said the transition would be easy. Take a while to adjust, the game has been out for not even a week yet.
Good.
Because I’d hate to see Reach banshee slaying happen all over again.
And the mantis is pretty powerful so it needs to be taken out swiftly.
Drive, fly and shoot better, oh and teammates who might actually see in their black hearts to defend you always help.
vehicles ruin loadout combat. Haha. I don’t know how many games I’ve seen that the other team just um… uses the vehicles and our team gets destroyed. It’s nice to have an answer for that.
I’m inclined to agree with you OP.
Stickies used me mean something, they were a quasi-power weapon. Now that everyone has them off spawn it kinda makes vehicles a lot less useful. Same goes for the plasma pistol.
Vehicles are meant to be feared.

Wait… what? There are so many threads by whiny elitist fanboys saying loadouts, etc, just make it easier for casual players, when in truth, it seems it’s just making it harder for them to rack up uncontested kills with overpowered vehicles.
It’s all clear to me now.
