I sure would, especially if I had dumb opponents like yourself that don't check those corners nor take them wide. I'll use whatever tool I'm given to my and its best ability, especially against aloof, self-entitled scrubs. Oh and yes situational is a word you fool. http://www.merriam-w...ary/situational

You know what that's called, BAITING. You did exactly what a skilled player would in that situation. You guys must get something in your head, THERE ARE NO RULES ON ENGAGEMENT IN AN ONLINE SHOOTER. There are no rules of honor. We are all given a tooset and these tools all have a counter tool. If a weapon is truly OP, it will be acknowledged, weapons such as the Halo 1 pistol. However, unless someone is using real cheats aka via modified consoles etc, then anything else if fair game. A person has to be willing to question whether their own reactions were the proper reactions for a given situation.

Entering CQC should only happen under 3 circumstances, 1. An ambush on an unknowing target if you have a melee power weapon, or shotgun class weapon.. 2. An ambush or assasination on a target unaware of your location. 3. A last ditch effort at survival when badly hurt. If you enter CQC any other time, it is your fault for dying (actually it is always your fault). As I said, clearly many people in this community lack skill. The AR is NOT a close range weapon, it is a close-mid range weapon. Close-mid meaning about 5-7 feet outside of melee range. Any closer and you are entering the OSK range of any shotgun class weapon, OHK of any melee class power weapon, that is your own fault. Shotguns, the sword, the grav hammer. ALL of these power weapons have a very fast attack animation. The grav hammer and sword having lunge animations. Unless the wielders of the weapons are ambushed (i.e caught unaware) or charge towards a person in the act of charging a Boltshot, they should never lose that encounter. The Boltshot cannot match the range of the shotguns nor their animation speeds, nor the sheer speed and mobility of the sword or hammer. The Boltshot cannot be held down like the PP as it will auto-fire and has a LENGTHY cooldown period. The gun is a one-trick pony, and it is VERY MUCH balanced. This coming from a person that personally is not impressed by it. Stop rounding corners without coming out wide, and start paying attention before blindly charging someone or assuming a room is empty if you are not sure. This is what I do to great effect, seeing as using Promethean Vision is not even required to deal with Boltshot users. Then again, I am likely more skilled and possess a better understanding of compeitive mindset than either of you. Many of you guys lack either skill or situational awareness (maybe both), and justly should suffer the consequences of dumb decisions.

I'm tired of people like you. Nobody has to play according to your playstyle or play in a fashion that you find agreeable. THERE ARE NO ARTIFICIAL RULESETS, THERE ARE NO RULES OF HONOR. You are given a toolset, so are they. If you CHOOSE not to use Promethean Vision, that is your choice. It is there to be used, if you forgoe it for another option then you deal with the issues/consequences it presents. What I believe it is, is that gamers in general are not very skilled. They don't appreciate the psychology of online shooters, are one dimensional, and feel so entitled that anything that goes against their chosen "playstyle" is overpowered. It is a bunch of nonsense. If you are so predictable that you need someone to explain to you how to not charge in like an idiot, how to be situationally aware etc then you are unskilled as it is. Everything is not OP, everything does not need to be nerfed. The gun is balanced, it is your lack of skill that is the problem. WHEN DID GAMERS BECOME SUCH SOFT, COMPLAINING ******* MORONS?

Gamers like you annoy me. Always making excuses, shotgun and grenade throws? You are the kind of gamer that would make an excuse for any type of death you get. There are no rules of honor in online gaming, there is no artificial ruleset to be followed. You either have the skillset and situational awareness to perform or your don't. PERIOD.
