Re: Clarifications

In Response To: Clarifications (profhalo)

: Having seen Gamestops Rec Card, I am just amazed at how everyone is ok with
: people using real world cash to buy a "Battle Rifle with Laser
: Targeter" that will "Improve overall weapon accuracy even when
: not using precision aiming".
: That seems fair?
: That seems like something that should be in Halo?

The way the system actually works keeps this from being an issue, really.

The guy who bought that gun won't be able to use it until he's reached whatever power level is needed to requisition it. And then he only gets to use it until he dies. He can't grab another one (which ALSO cost him money) until that meter fills again. In the meantime, you've called down a rocket launcher that you didn't have to pay for... and his tiny advantage due to the laser sight is overwhelmed by your far bigger gun (or your teammates' Banshee, or the Warthog someone called in a few minutes ago, or whatever).

The overall effect of that laser sight MIGHT be an extra kill or two. (Probably not. Probably less than that.) Warzone games are 18 minutes long, and though I only PLAYED one game, I watched a bunch - NONE of them were won by a kill or two. It might happen - but it ain't gonna be common.
