As a match starts, the excitement of a fresh new game rushes through me.
And then the other team gets rockets. Or a gravity hammer. Or a sword. Or for godsake, even a concussion rifle.
In doubles power weapons are a huge game changer and take absolutely no skill to use. I find this completely unfair. I can’t tell you how many games I’ve had to quit because, not only has my partner quit on me, but the other team is completely -Yoink!-, and I mean -Yoink!-, the power weapons on a map.
When in close quarters, sprint and an energy sword will on average give a decent player like 5 whole kills. In a game mode with a 25 kill limit, this is absolutely huge. And the swords lunge is just ridiculous, just because you have a sword doesn’t mean you can fly up 6 feet and kill me. That is insanely stupid.
And rockets. I can’t tell you how much I hate this weapon… I really can’t. It doesn’t even give a player a fighting chance. First off it doesn’t make sense to even have on ANY CQB map because there’s no vehicles, so that should just be taken out. And secondly, it’s a -Yoinking!- god weapon! I don’t see why anyone would think it’s a good idea, or that it’s fun, to have this in the game. It gives teams such unfair advantages.
Anyways, I really hope 343 tries to balance out playlists and powerweapons because the way it is in reach is driving me insane.
