If I wanted to one tap people with a pistol I would play infection, you beat me to the punch, they’re all junk gametypes that hinder the fun of the playlist.
At gunpoint my answer would be a mangler. A slow rof, short distance projectile weapon? It feels like if the plasma pistol was headshot capable, horrid.
They definitely need to go in the trash can. I’m open to playing sidekick swat though. The old games had swatnums, so it is kind of the evolution of that gamemode. But the old games lowered the priority of swatnums in matchmaking, so that 9 times out of 10 you would get regular swat. No idea why 343 can’t do that here, and let us play swat when we choose the swat playlist. It would be fine if the wacky modes had super low priority so that they mixed things up every once in a while, but right now the swat playlist is a disaster.
Nay, older Halo pistols do not fire that fast, and even the fastest firing Pistol was the Halo 2 Magnum but it dealt really poor damage.
Infinite SKs are literally automatics if you fire fast enough, combined with a fast reload speed, it’s a no-low skill weapon, being able to quick fire and kill through body shots even.
Here’s my issue with Commando. The very first game I played of it I looked at a guy, had his head filling the reticle and watched the first bullet I fired 10 seconds into the game fly right past his head outside of my reticle entirely. The accuracy of the Commando is so unreliable that it’s the only one I never want to play.
Mangler is actually my favorite. I feel like a Doisaci Desperado, carefully placing my wheelgun’s heavy, burdened-by-power shots across the map to soar into the titanium-A battle stetsons of my foes.
I think manglers is the worst. Sidekick I’m not a fan of either but definitely hate manglers more. Commandos I kinda like. BR’s is obviously the best by far.
They all SUCK. The sidekicks and commando’s are just awful. Manglers is Swat?? WTH? Are those tennis balls that thing is shooting? If they’re going to force these weapons on us, at least make them 1 out of 10 games just to keep things spiced up. Right now it’s the opposite and we get the BR’s 1 out 10-12 games. Me and my friends celebrate when we finally them and that’s just stupid. 343 needs to wake the hell up and give us back our BR’s. Better yet, make a Swat variant playlist and make EVERYONE happy.
