All I got from this post is an angry assault rifle melee noob who runs towards their opponent in a straight line to finish him off with a beat down. This is you featherspanthers and I am pretty sure you acknowledge it as well, your lack of skill keeps you from learning how to use the BR. You never really "played" halo then. You need to learn that there are more weapons in the arsenal this time around and an assault rifle will not cut it out and it never has, the AR is not an all purpose weapons it's main use is for close quarters maps and even then you are still better off with a DMR or a BR which ever you prefer.
There is nothing wrong with the assist system, you should be happy you get assist than anything at all, Halo is a team based game and the more shots you put out on the battlefield the higher chance of success your team has of achieving victory. You can't rush a kill on Halo, this is how it has always been, if he is 1 shot let a teammate clean him up or chase him down if you think the odds are against him.
Since this is a new Halo I recommend learning how to actually play the game this time around, it's lots of fun and competitive. Good luck to you.
I am looking for a consistent and determined group of players or a clan of competent players who are active and enjoy playing the game as much as the next guy. Current stats as of now 11/10/2012 Spartan Rank 42 Kills : 1952 Deaths : 1465 Assists 827 Gamertag : Cauteriize Send me a friend request.
