The Legendary Challenge

[bl4yze]

Remember this isn't just a settings discussion thread.

I genuinely want you to take my challenge, and tell me what you think afterwards.

Seriously. Do it. This Weekend. Or tonight. Or RIGHT NOW.

So if you need somebody to team with. Message me anytime this weekend, I'll grab some legacy members and we'll play. Either in MM or customs.

I might be up to play some v5 settings this weekend if anyone's up for it.

a) Then it becomes a battle of who can charge their boltshot first. It's not a matter of being surprised by a boltshot, rather who can get the mid range shield-dropping boltshot off and switch to their primary first.

b) Saws can also be devastating "if you know what you're doing".

c) Just fuck camo in general.

a) Hardly. If a team is going boltshot heavy you could switch up to a longer range playstyle, or go with a grenadier loadout to hit them as they wait at corners. Also, it's such a weak argument. "Who can shoot the other one faster" works with every gun.

b)fair point

c) as someone who played through avp on the hardest difficulty and multiplayer, halo camo is easytown, but i'll give you that it's probably annoying for others.

The boltshot promotes crouching or sitting behind corners. A "longer range playstyle" works for slayer, but not so much for OBJ games. Sitting in a corner by your flag on Pit with a boltshot is super mlg skillful.

wait on power weapon spawn, use a grenadier glass, move in as a team with nades and power weapons, slaughter everyone in the base. camping inside an objective base with boltshots rarely a good plan. even if it's just one guy, nades out, when he backs away to avoid being hit by the first/second nades, gun him down.

it's especially easy in games with radar, because there's a very distinct movement someone makes when they go around a corner and then move back towards it that shows a boltshots imminent, even before the sounds.

I've been playing legendary slayer longer than this challenge 'as been 'round!

Edit

Halo 2 Anniversary COMING SOON.

Eagle out.

I've done it many times, I still prefer the Infinity. I've grown out of pure arena shooters and while I do enjoy legendary I like Infinity more. There's more chaos and unpredictability and I like that a lot.

I'm not saying it's hard to counter. It's a no skill weapon that's a cop out for players who like to sit behind corners, or put themselves in stupid situations. It's basically a required secondary in FC on any non-vehicle map because of how prevalent it is. I'd be fine with a couple on the map, but spawning with it is retarded.

If you want chaos play battlefield.

[Zeta Crossfire]

I do play battlefield it's my second favorite fps. Doesn't match 8v8 2 flag coag though, I don't like halo 4v4 which is why I mostly play big team.

I pulled some matchmaking records and here's what I found:

Zeta I went all the way back to the beginning of august. You've played 5 games of legendary since then.

Spattan177 You've only played 1 game of legendary over the same time period.

Silversleek I had to go back to the middle of July to even find 1 game of legendary.

You're all so dead set against these settings that you've convinced yourselves that you've given them a fair chance.

You haven't.

Now, either open your minds and go play some, or please see yourselves out of this thread.
