[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"]The weapons aren't very balanced. Usually it's a race to see who can get the best weapons first. If you have 2 good people, one is using an assault rifle and the other is using a rocket launcher, the person with the rocket launcher will win, almost every time.DragonfireXZ95

It IS a race to get the best weapons. Its all part of tactics. "I'm at this side of the map so I need to get _________ but beware of someone with _________ because they are spawning over there"

That's just stupid... What if I don't know the maps? What if it spawns someone closer to a weapon than someone else? It's just unbalanced. Because it doesn't give all the players the same tools as everyone else, that's called unbalanced. Especially when half the guns are complete garbage.

Its called playing the game and learning the maps. Its not hard, first console game i played online was Halo 3, i was terrible i didnt know the maps, everyone was better than me, i couldnt aim for **** didnt like the BR or sniper rifle, didnt know the maps. It took me about a month to really get to know the ins and outs of every map and not jsut the basic layout but the best possible tactical position, the best route the run the flag the best jumping spots, and and all that good stuff. Naturally after about a year of playing Halo 3 i jsut got better and better. Finally got my 50 general. There were times in certain matches were the setup of spawns were bad but honestly depends on the gametype. Team doubles is a nightmare, it usually comes out to whoeveer gets the power weapon first and camps, but in a 4v4 match its pretty intense and it really comes down to jsut outgunning/ or usung teamwork to outflank the other team. I play a lot of Swat, snipers, and or MLG. No game is perfect, but Halo is one of the better balanced games out there. Just becasue you get frustrated in not having the best possible outcome all the time jsut relax, calm down and look at what did i do wrong or what can i do to spnk that person next time he thinks its funy to hide around the corner witha shotgun. Just get out there and own people dawg.

The multiplayer. The community. The content. - Without a doubt in the last two sequels it has been the strongest points of them, and multiplayer truly has been the core of the game; no surprise really, it is superb. Shame about the rest.

The weapons aren't very balanced. Usually it's a race to see who can get the best weapons first. If you have 2 good people, one is using an assault rifle and the other is using a rocket launcher, the person with the rocket launcher will win, almost every time.DragonfireXZ95

That's a silly complaint. The rocket launcher has a substantial delay between shots and a small clip size and low chance of finding additional ammo. The projectiles travel at a slow speed, and a lone character carrying rockets is easily overwhelmed if two people spread out and flank him. Not only that, it instantly marks you as the largest target on the battle field. Sure, you get alot of power - but don't act like its not coming at a price.

Snipers totally outclass rockets at long range. Rockets obviously outclass the AR at medium - close range. A shotgun will likely be more effective than a BR at close range. That's not being unbalanced - that's having weapons fill their role.

it's actually quite opposite, I frequently see skilled players with battle rifles, take out equally skilled players with rocket launchers. the maps are mostly fair and aren't so claustrophobic most of the time, and there are only 2 shots in a rocket clip, so it usually isn't THAT overpowered or gamebreaking as opposed to a boomshot in gears etc.

That's like saying that BC2 isn't balanced because you can run around with tanks. Rocket launchers are limited in ammo, and most of the time, you wont be using one.
