Thread: The way to balance the Spartan Laser.

Posted by: scotsoe Posted by: maxzy vehicle combat has been drastically decreased from what it was in Halo 2. Oh darn, now we can actually have effective infantry instead of a dominant vehicle set. A better solution would be to make it have a longer spawn or to not be included in certain maps. On certain maps vehicles should be dominant. Maps such as Sandtrap, Valhalla and Avalanche were designed primarily for vehicle combat. And even if the...

Posted by: privet caboose Posted by: LinkLegend0 Thats completely irrelevant, I just old you something, that the warthog is much more of a killing machine than the laser on Valhalla, and you completely ignored that. Like everyone I argue with. No. It's not completely irrelevant. I'm not ignoring your comment for the hell of it. I ignored it because it's not true. Anybody knows that any competent player can overpower...

But nobody addresses the posts that make sense, now do they. Too...

I've got to say. I've never ONCE heard a noise when being targeted by a laser. And maybe 1/100 times do I see the small red laser.

Posted by: scotsoe So kill him before you get in the vehicle, genius. I'm not a rock. When I noticed that none of the five other guys on my team weren't trying to control the Laser I went to kill him and secure it. Didn't work out that well. [Edited on 11.11.2009 6:30 AM PST]

Posted by: AshlandBlurry I don't know what to say about all of this...you noobs just need to stop complaining about this stuff. The laser is an awesome weapon and it is not even close to overpowered...if you don't suck...i don't know how many times it has kept my team from being vehicle whored by the other team... and the game should be about controlling certain weapons on the maps and areas, otherwise this will end...

Posted by: fifthderelicte I hope it wasn't the other team that came back on you, because that would suck. You guys should have picked up any of the 3 types of grenades, 3 explosive weapons, 1 energy draining weapon, 1 heavy armor reducing heavy weapon, 1 warthog or other vehicle, or 1 energy draining piece of equipment on the map and communicated a little. Yes it has happened with me. And yes I have been on a team who did it also. It...

Posted by: maxzy Posted by: LinkLegend0 I say make it more of a weapon against people instead of vehicles. Also, vehicles ARE balanced in Halo 3 perfectly, not underpowered at all. Vehicles are in no way balanced in Halo 3. Play any big team battle game and try to drive a vehicle without being lasered within 30 seconds. that's not the game's fault thats operator error. Dont take teh vehicle during the first two min of the...

YES I KNOW that the lazer is a fine weapon how it is. But it gives a cool startegy for some people. But they redid the lazer for reach anyway

Posted by: maxzy Posted by: Courageous Mike But then people would be complaining that everyone would be using vehicles. You don't have to use the laser to kill vehicles. Have you ever thought of using the missle pod, rocket launcher, power drain, plasma pistol or even another vehicle? Thats why Halo 2 was so much better for vehicle combat. If the scorpian was racking up kills nobody would go look for the overpowered killing machine...
