> > I was content to let this matter drop - but you my friend are the epiphany of idiocy. After 10 years, everyone’s memory is suspect. No one’s played a game of Halo 2 on Xbox LIVE since the original Xbox LIVE servers were turned off for good. So when someone displays such audacious stupidity such as you did by saying "don’t mind anything say" just explains to me why the internet was a better place back then - not everyone and their grandmother had broadband so people like you couldn’t speak; aside from the few that did.
> > Now that I’m done lambasting you, I will be happy to admit that after 10 years, getting something like the “noob combo” wrong is expected. Especially when you’d used to hear it left and right with the plasma pistol and SMG dual wield. So if it’s in fact the BR, I stand corrected but the PP/SMG dual wield combo is just as bad. However, the PP/BR combo sounds more Halo 3 than Halo 2. Go try it out for yourself in the two sandboxes and see. I feel you might be a kid that didn’t get started with Halo on LIVE until Halo 3.
> > It really comes down to what was said above me: BR is more competitive. It makes for great games - especially BTB but it also makes for bad games too. I prefer this BR/SMG starting that they have going on now - it feels like a good mix. But to each their own.

> Ouch, you really ripped me a new one there - how do I come back after being called stupid? Maybe I could gain back some self esteem by making assumptions on how long someone has played a game after they point out my inaccuracies, how long that person has been a member of the community (ten years? Total scrub!), or, after getting called out about my inaccuracy, I could make another, completely inaccurate assertion. Either way, this thorough lambastment has caused irreparable damage to my psyche.
I know right? It was so painful and going to leave irreparable damage on your psyche! I hope you do well after years of therapy. Being called “stupid” and told you are the “epiphany of idiocy” is oh so hurtful! In case you can’t tell, this is sarcasm. I know that doesn’t come through well in words on the internet sometimes.
I just can’t believe you felt the need to go pull up and link to your Bungie account which tells me absolutely nothing except that you apparently spent way to much time on Bungie.net and played way to many games (unless they were all short - I don’t know about you but I found doing that glitch on Containment to take the flag out of the map quite fun).
Of course, I can repost service records too, including the infamously Xbox LIVE generated username (https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-2/xbox/service-records/players/StarGodOfHalo), a username which followed it (https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-2/xbox/service-records/players/xTGNx%20Guardian), t**his account’s service record (https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-2/xbox/service-records/players/guardian%20hope), and I’m sure I can find more if I sat long enough to figure out what they all were.
The one thing I can’t do is pull up Bungie.net because when you sign in with your MS Account it asks you to create a new Bungie.net profile for Destiny. I’m not going to do that. I tried playing Destiny trial. The game sucks. It’s like it wants to be Borderlands and Halo but ends up being what would happen if the two were to have a malformed love child. Also,
It also tells me when you first joined Bungie.net - not when you first started playing a tracked Halo game like Halo 2. I can tell you the first time I joined Bungie.net was 2008. There wasn’t much of an incentive as one’s service record was always available their whether you joined or not from what I could tell.
I think we’re both done with this discussion. It’s really simple: people who want SMG starts really suck at Halo (or started with Halo: Reach) and people who want BR starts are either good at Halo, one of those stupid “MLG” wannabes or actual “MLG” players (seriously, how can one consider a video game a sport? Now that’s the epiphany of stupidity), or want a level playing field where the good do well and the bad do horrible as they should.
in the end, as someone so aptly pointed out - the AR/Pistol is the original Halo starting setup.
But please, if you feel the need to insert more links in an attempt to convince yourself, feel free to do so. I’d be happy to throw out sarcastic rebuttals for the sake of doing so.
