Re: Boltshot & Ordnance Compromise
Jam just touched on it, and I'll try and highlight it again.
There will be NO perfect answer. None, zero, zilch, not happening. It's just not possible. What will have to happen is that both sides will have to compromise. It's like when you were a younger teenager (Or for those who still are) and you had to negotiate staying out later on a Friday night. You'd want 12, the parents would want 10, so you'd settle on 11 as a compromise.
It's going to have to be the same thing here for sure. They say the best deals are those where both parties are unhappy.
Arbiter I appreciate trying to inject humor into the situation, but stay on topic.

Myth I'll warn you now that Redwatch has a Practice near then, But I'll come atleast since I am on leave. lol
Practice on those gametypes. Cause the next battle night might be with them. Better to just be ahead of the curve....
Oh shit, I just aided the enemy. Ignore everything I just said.

The bolt shot is an awesome weapon, a little to awesome...
It's like the Hornet of halo 3

While that is true, and I believe you may have seen my original WC submission about it with pros and cons, there are still opinions I have not anticipated. Firepower users, for instance, and those who feel it would jumble the whole thing. (I did however anticipate the opinion that it would be a "slippery slope" down to extreme limitations).

:P, ok, but me, myth, and cliche all live in Georgia and there is a huge ass storm outside!
Re: Boltshot & Ordnance Compromise
By the way everyone, I think most of you are missing the point.
FC's priority is not a "fair playing field." It is not to make it so that skill is the only way to win games.
The priority is something called "fun." What is "fun" for the members of FC? Well, a fair playing field is "fun", and for many people having less randomness involved makes it more "fun." etc.
In Reach, we did not remove Armor Lock because it was "overpowered." I could argue with anyone saying that it wasn't imbalanced in any way, shape, or form, but that is irrelevant. We removed it because the majority of people did not enjoy playing with it.
That is the same now. The community is split. Many people dislike the boltshot, others like it. Many dislike Ordnance, others like it. We will not cater to the minority, and usually not even for the plurality, in a situation. The only way you guys will ever get 100% of your desire is if you have an overwhelming majority backing you up, which no group has at this time.
Therefore, this compromise was developed and presented.

That's actually a good thing. I can put the test gametypes on my fileshare and have you guys test them out as well, meaning we'd have 2 lobbies doing it, meaning more feedback. :)
Re: Boltshot & Ordnance Compromise
As much as I'd like to see the bolt shot and ordinances removed, I'm okay with them staying.
Re: Boltshot & Ordnance Compromise
"We" are the people who vote in our polls. the 25 so far, and the bunch who have not voted against the 14 in the "compromise" poll. I believe we have a solid enough voice, and there are far more than those who have voted who have been to our meetings and not been on the forum. I will try to get them on the forum and show them where to voice their opinions so that maybe you will realize our feelings. By the way, I am not discussion the boltshot, or the DMR, or the AR, or any other gun or any loadout in the game. The only thing I am discussing, is the personal ordinance drop. And thank you for considering my opinion.
Re: Boltshot & Ordnance Compromise
I'm fine with the boltshot being taken out now. I'm thinking of rolling with camo and becoming a pistol assassin. No one will no where I am until it's too late.
Re: Boltshot & Ordnance Compromise
:P mine too! what a coincidence
