So what say you lot? I imagine, with a majority of us born and raised as MP gamers by the king of console arena shooters, that I'll get a majority vote on hate 'em. I hope I do. Else I'll be very disappointed. Personally, I do indeed hate them: it's bad enough losing to another team (especially if I'm not having any fun in the game), but when they get toys (abilities, weapons, whatever) to give them an even [i]greater[/i] advantage over me, that's just not fair, I'm going to get buttplundered even more. But Tarty, I hear you cry, aren't you the very same Tartan 118 who likes ordnance drops in Halo 4? Yes, yes I am. Ummmm. Difference being, I'm familiar enough with Halo's sandbox to counter (or at least know how to) whatever toys the enemy is gifted. Whereas in -blam!-ing Call of Duty or whatever, you just get insta-powned by whatever bullets, bombs or dogs the enemy gets, with no chance to fight back. SHIELDS. Shields make the difference, I guess. I dunno.
