Reasons why the FRG is overpowered

[FreedomFighter7]

We had three reds in blues base all with FRGs. We pwned.

[Sel]

that's nice

[Ganon]

its op if your fuckin bad

[Donut]

i thought this was going to be a long "BAW I HATE THE FRG I HATE YOU FOR USING THE FRG AND I HATE HALO CE" rant. i was wrong :iamafag:

[legionaire45]

It's wrong because it looks like a phallus.

[Sever]

For all of you bitching about the Fuel Rod Gun's overpoweredness, you haven't seen shit until you've seen it in my hands. I take out targets that simply can't be taken out by anything else. When someone's cowering in a corner of Yoyorast Island, forcing the announcer to ceaselessly utter "Red Team has the flag", I can kill them quite easily with my glowing green rods of death. I can single-handedly control Blue base on Hang 'Em High with nothing but my trusty purple cannon. I can take on Tanks and Snipers all the way on the other side of Timberland with my radioactive artillery barrage. Warthogs and Ghosts simply aren't allowed to travel the main path on Danger Canyon once I've made a trip to the center room. And if anyone's trying to get the drop on me, I only need to fire two shots in their direction and go along my merry way, knowing that they'll have met their swift demise.

Ask anyone who's witnessed my Fuel-Roddery and they'll tell you I'm a terror with that gun in my hands.

cool story? :raise:

[Inferno]

Fuel rods are for badkids. I'll Sin(3)SK you with my pistol before you even see me.

[FreedomFighter7]

I'm pretty good with the FRG to. Like Sever I to can take out an enemy with two or three shots. The first blast knocks them on a predictable trajectory through the air the second one I just aim for his landing zone. With my connection I'm only really good with heavies. Even with the rocket launcher I still don't get one hit kills even if I aim directly at them. Luckily I'm pretty good with the pistol, even with this connection. The three reds in blue base with FRGs makes me lol.

I never complain about heavies unless someone uses nothing BUT heavies. This is a major problem on DC.

What does OP mean?

[Ganon]

What does OP mean?

overpowered

also, 1v1 i'll show u how good you are :pcgaming:

[t3h m00kz]

winrod gun

[supersniper]

lol i like this thread :D

[justin108]

The FRG is one cute snot shooting bastard. Pistol rapes it so hard though, good luck getting the shots in before being 3sk'ed. Well, unless you are playing someone like Ganon, xD!

[Inferno]

FRG is synonymous for "Terrible game play choices by gearbox".

Anyone who thinks their some kind of artist because they can kill people with a fuel rod gun needs to rethink their definition of the word artist. Its a fucking explosive with a fairly wide splash in a game with bad netcode. Do the math

I think it was more a poke at bungie for being able to put things in the game that, they, themselves failed at :haw:

one time i won a game of halo and i was happy

[Donut]

if you guys are all so good with the pistol, then why are you bitching about the flame thrower? if you can get close enough to someone to use a flame thrower on the majority of the maps theyre on, you deserve the damn kill

[Inferno]

Flamer is actually pretty decent but it ruins the shotgun. Flamer > shotgun in most all situations.

FRG is terrible. FRG is bad. FRG is homosexual.

[ZeRk`]

The shotty just doesn't do it for me..

Bad reg, bad netcode, bad internet?

wrong

dont ever post insight on the halo game ever again, you honestly know nothing, well cya

[Yoko]

w+m1 flamethrower users in halo are worse than any w+m1 pyro in tf2

shotty works if you're point-blank, otherwise someone will kill you by pistol in a few seconds

[Inferno]

Pretty much. Flamer is a instant kill if you do it right though.

[Gwunty]

FRG is homosexual.
I was going to ask you "how do you know this" then I realized I already knew the answer,
its becuase it always rapes you :caruso:

[Ganon]

Lol this kid.

I bet you think the pistol is balanced. Baddie.

Sidewinder + OS + camo + flamethrower = <3

The H1 flamethrower is my favorite Halo weapon from any of the games.

[supersniper]

meh my fav is the awesome pwness of the plasma pistol!

[blind]

Lol this kid.

I bet you think the pistol is balanced. Baddie.
lol it is scrubzilla.

[Inferno]

LOL! No.

[Boba]

LOL! No.
inferno i am here to congratulate you on such a successful post

its almost like you won the argument!! :allears:

[Ganon]

pistols aren't balanced but this does not change the fact I'm always right and you are always wrong inferno ~de arimasu

[blind]

LOL! No.
plz elaborate

[Inferno]

This is the internet.

There is no such thing as winning a argument here.

edit-

But for the record. If you can use a single weapon the entire game and dominate with it (which is pretty much how everyone good plays) then it's a bit to much.

HtH.

Lol.

Baddies.

There are no 100% perfect, all situations, insta-domination weapons in TF2 or Halo 3 or CoD4.

And for good reason.

im sorry what?

balance
2. A state of equilibrium or parity characterized by cancellation of all forces by equal opposing forces.

im pretty sure everyone starts with the pistol lol...

[teh lag]

please not the pistol argument again

[blind]

i just won the pistol argument, i busted out the dictionary

[Champ]

Yeah blind won hands down. Inferno should have said farewell when Gannon told him to.

[Inferno]

I like the pistol.

Balance isn't just about everyone having the same weapon. It's about every weapon being equally useful and desirable.

[Dwood]

I like the pistol.

Balance isn't just about everyone having the same weapon. It's about every weapon being equally useful and desirable.

Yeah no. It's about each weapon having it's uses in different situations.

Not necessarily agreeing with anyone here.

[Champ]

Pistol vs pistol. All the balance you need

[Sever]

If that were the case, every weapon would be exactly the same.

Weapon balance is each one having a strong advantage in certain situations - for some, being adequate in most situations is their advantage - but also having certain drawbacks which make them able to be countered with immediately or easily accessible weapons.

[supersniper]

plasma rifle stuns :o

[TeeKup]

I rather enjoy the plasma rifle.

yes, and for the purposes of this thread the FRG is intended to be a distance/support weapon just like the sniper. problem is they're too easy to exploit... using snipers in CQC and owning is a good example, getting too close with FRG is bad news though, can't see to the right = headshotted w/pistol (or stickied like a noob)

[Rook]

Who's idea was it to make a gun that covers half of the damn screen?

[TeeKup]

The same people who thought it was a good idea for the player in Halo 3 to play on a Halo ring for only one mission.

Hurff Durff

[supersniper]

lolz they couldn't call it Earth now could they...

[TeeKup]

In all honesty though, I'll pick up an FRG if some idiot is barreling towards me with a warthog and I'm out of grenades. After said idiot is dead I shall then pick my Assault Rifle back up.

[Sel]

Yeah blind won hands down. Inferno should have said farewell when Gannon told him to.

[Inferno]

Yeah I know. Blind is a master arguer. He defeated me with this massive intellect.... wait that doesn't sound right...
