Has anyone seen or had spurts of absolute crap happen?
It seems that many people know a trick to one shot kills with the shotty from 10 ft away... I however at point blank always require 2. Does anyone know why it seems everyone else has the better hand?

sometimes the shotgun is weird that way.

It is all about proximity. If you and I were to go against eachother, and both shoot point blank with the shotty, whoever lives closer to the host will win. Your connection is to blame!!!!!

Its all about firing at the chest with the shotty. No headshots for that mofo.
It sprays more in Halo 2, also, so its a little more about luck.

Well, it's more than just the shotgun. Every now and then I'd be doing my thing with full shields and some guy just hops out and sprays me with 2 plasma rifles and I just fall over dead in a few seconds.. much shorter and nearly instantly as opposed to what I normally see when seeing someone dual wield them.
The shotgun thing is annoying.. I'm good with it, but it pisses me off to play defense and drop 3 guys in a row with one shot to the back each, and then the fourth guy who comes around takes 2 shots, but he kills me with someone stupid in the process.
I used to think the game automatically leverages the various players in small ways. Not saying any truth in that, but it feels that way. Maybe it is lag. That huge Halo 2 article about it's network structure stated that the game makes predictions for every few miliseconds out and sends those to the server and checks against what you actually do. Maybe something gets jumbled up when lag comes in.
But I agree that a lot of things happen in Halo 2 inconsistently. One minute you can get in a warthog just fine, the next time you try, you can't get in. Or even get out sometimes. Just minor things.

Yea, it's a BS. I got to shoot a guy twice, while another guy 10 feet away shoots once with the shotty and I drop dead. Bungie needs to fix that.

I agree. I swear that damn network thing always "predicts" that I will die when I have in all actuality just kicked some major ass.

Have you guys noticed that whenever you go on a killing spree things start to get alot harder, and whenever your in the lead the game spawns you in a remote place from all the action? Maybe it's just me tho....

my favorite is dual weilding the plasma pistol and smg....
Hit them with the pistol, then start with the smg, they turn around fire for half a second and im dead... all they had was 1 smg. I had full shields.
It happens to me all the time

Thats odd, same thing happens for me. :mad:
The shotgun thing has happened to me a whole lot in the past week or so. I'll be shooting someone with an SMG and Plasma pistol and he'll shoot me once with a shotgun from 10+ feet away and he'll kill me, then other times i'll be shooting a guy with a shotgun, and it takes 3 times to kill him from 5 feet away. Don't know whther it's lag or what, but it's annoying.

The thing I find annoying most of the time is that whoever starts stooting first with dualies usually wins no matter what combo you have.

I havent found this true, I will turn aroud after someone has started and I will kill em most commonly when Im dueling plasma rifle and SMG.

who cares..this game takes no great skill anyways..even if you master all the small things like taking down their shield with a plasma pistol from 50 yards away then battle rifle them for a 2 shot kill...it still wont matter ...
the game is based largely on...whoever gets 2 of the 3...sniper, rocket , sword... the only relative fun levels are the small ones, because they take away the sniper and usually the rocket factors..
All the large maps are jokes especially Burial Grounds on offense.. all the d has to do is camp....

But you see wolfboy, that is the way it is designed. And a good offensive team can dig the defense out of their fox hole. It does take skill, you just may not have found it yet.

wow, lastnight on beavercreak i plasma balled a guy ffrom behind and started letting my smg rip on his then unsheilded body from about 15 feet away as i ran up on him. the guy simply turns around and put about a 3rd of an smg clip into me and i was down...full sheilds and everything. talk about frustrating.
or like the other night. i was playing shotguns on midship with shrew, illusion, and thrash...shrew was the host. a few times that me and thrash met up we went right at each other and fired at he same time point blank range, yet i would drop and he wouldn't. maybe he lives closer to shrewand that had something to do with it, but i don't know. :confused:

explain how i can stop a guy with a sword, rocket launcher, and both snipers in the trench in burial grounds ? the game is really decided upon the race to get the rocket launcher..because then you can hop on the ghost and ride w/o fear (unless there's an insane sniper, which how easy it is to snipe in this game there usually is..) or just go into their base and have your way with them...
The only way I figured this out is to have teammates that actually know what the heck they're doing IE friends.. which mine are rarely on..
