Forgot who I was arguing with so....

What do you guys think about this:

If you cheat up to say level 37-39 and then play completely legit to 40+ is your level legit?

I am quite good at the game, albeit I do not use XBL, but I do play on the college network against some guys who do and I am even with them. When I am on fire I am better than they are and just run around with sniper and battle rifle.

i used to play a good friend of mine at halo1. he'd beat me 50/50. but when i started playing xbc and learning SO much from other people, i could beat him 100% of the time, often with scores like 25-4

I just said the guys I play against play XBL themselves. They are aorund level 30's and level 40's in some game types. And it's not a few people, there are about 50 people here at college who play Halo 2 regularly. But the guys that play on the network the most play XBL, as I said before, and they are quite good.

RAS. do you know how to double shot? or how to short jump up a lift on midship?

a big part of being successful at halo2 comes from knowledge about how to exploit glitches. even if your aim is good you will still fall short if everything pulled on you is a surprise.

Okay, you guys aren't fully reading my posts and are missing the point and haven't truly answered my initial question. I am not going to talk to someone who isn't full reading my posts.

Halo2 is very unbalanced. the middle ranged weapon doesnt link close range and long range together. the br cnt kill quick enough to kill a shotgun or dual weildclose range. (4 bursts is extremly slow compared to 3 shots). It also is too inaccurate to shoot long range. It shouldnt be a matter of being prepared, it should be about the weapons being able to hold their own in certain situations. after halo1, it is absolutly disgusting that bungie could take a game that had the weapons balanced 100% and turn it into halo2 where next to nothing is balanced.

Halo2 is a big game of rock paper scissors. certain weapons will always trump others, and it doesnt have to be that way. Halo2 focuses too much on close range fighting which makes the sniper all the more overpowered. the br takes too long to kill which makes dual weilding and the sword overpowered. even middle/long range the br bullet spread is too much that it is ineffective at a certain range.

Sure, it might be my fault for walking around a corner and getting raped, but that is besides the point. bungie doesnt provide the right tool(s) to allow people to deal with all scenarios. when people have a weapon to deal with ALL close, middle and long range battles then everyone is on the same playing field. if people all have such a weapon that fills the above role, then it comes down to skill in how people use this weapon, and what weapon they choose to carry as their secondary.

Now, to address what you said above it being my fault for getting sworded or dual weilded, it all goes back to what is fun and what isnt. Even if my own carelessness gets me killed, it doesnt change the fact that the gameplay is bad and that the game is not fun.
