    Don't forget your vote zeta. So ban has the edge by 3

    I agree 100%.

    The ban has already been put into effect; it is called vanilla conflict.

    Generally speaking, this poll will not change anything based on the responses.

    There are plenty of times where boltshot isn't an option as a starting weapon (Vanilla, Heavy), and there is no real overwhelming odds either way. When we decide whether or not to actually change something, we always err to the side of keeping things as is unless there is large enough odds in favor of changing it (usually 60/40).

    In this case, there is that, and the fact that as stated before, plenty of situations remove boltshot as a starting weapon. Even more-so than that, we had a month long survey over peacetime on this that had 50+ responses.


    Also, we will never "ban" the boltshot as we do tbagging, making it technically available but against the rules to use. That is way too hard to discipline, and honestly I wouldn't expect anyone to specifically check that every game.


    I understand boltshot being annoying. It was a bad call by 343 IMO to have it as a starting weapon. But at the end of the day, it's part of the game, and as a community there is no clear decision on it. We've met halfway as best as we can.



    Locked due to not wanting Carpe's comment to get out of hand.

    Lets have fun with the game, boltshot or not.
