I honestly do not understand why people refuse to just, one on one gunfight anymore. Very seldom do do I jump in the crucible and see people duking it out. Every warlock throws a firebolt, every hunter shoots once/throwin knife, or wombo/combo, while titans either shoulder charge, or steal the kill the hunter has wombo/combo'd. Every hallway is being hardscoped, and any time somebody gets noticed, they tuck their tail and run/shadestep/glide away. I mean, did I miss the memo? The only ones that don't play cheap and go mega try hard, are just scrubs these days, or something? I can't be the only one to notice this, right?
Edit: I never thought this post would take off like this. I appreciate all of the civil responses and thought out opinions. But then there are the kids who are heartbroken, that I made a post about their precious playstyle, when they themselves can not kills without relying solely on their grenades to engage.

Edit: holy crap this thread took off. I was not expecting this many people to comment, let alone agree. It's good to see there are still gun slinging outlaws still showing the crucible what's up (not referring to the hunter subclass)

2 AntwortenWhat is a 1v1 gunfight? Of the encounters I win I do so by either priming my opponent with a grenade, scoping a chokepoint, or team shotting while a teammate has agro. Even in strictly 1v1 encounters I count on my opponent to use an ability and I have to use my mine to outplay him. When I lose in an encounters I usually lose by the same methods I employ to win. Or think about it this way: +10 for grenade, melee, headshot, or super kills. +50 for assist in a kill, first place kill, or revive. The game doesn't reward getting in real gunfights. Also, what's a primary?
-
What you said about Titans is untrue. You could say the kill stealing part about any class. And shoulder charge is not op. At all. But yeah the gunfights in this game are dwindling.
-
With the current latency/matchmaking, the only viable option is to chuck/run or attempt a OHK from a safe distance. RNG shots from a primary aren't worth the risk.

2 AntwortenIt's almost like they nerfed the crap out of shotguns, effectively gimping run and gun strategies.

2 AntwortenYou don't understand how much I talk about this every day. Forreal warlock start fight with L1 and end in R2. Kids to scray to fight one v one. And if I'm wining the gun fight boom the old ran away (shadestep or try quick scope or get a overshiled via meele) so I counter these fags by going from TLW to sniper real quick or throw a skip nade before they try and run. If its warlock I go nightslaker and bait all them fireblots and use the wombo. If their going to play like fags I got u.

They have become ingame like they are in the forums. Craven, whining idiots

1 AntwortenYou mean leading or finishing with a grenade isn't the only way to play this game?

16 AntwortenEver since getting my SUROS ARI-41 (Titan) it's just felt unfair to gunfight, people don't last long. Thing is, I'm trying to do the imprecation bounty, but, 7 precision kills with that thing? How the hell do you do that, it hits like a truck and kicks like a mule but 190 damage isn't a kill? This things ttk is at least a second....

1 AntwortenBearbeitet von FrenetiCreature: 5/8/2016 8:10:38 AMWhile I do use my skip grenade to start off most encounters, I don't hide and wait until it's charged to get out there. I'll use it when it's ready, but I'm going to use what I can to maximize the chance that I'll win the encounter. Though, I have noticed that whenever I start shooting someone, they take off like a bat out of hell. First shot hits them and they're gone. It is a little annoying. But, it's everyone. It's hunters, titans, and warlocks. I hardly ever use auto-rifles anymore, because it seems like they're the hardest to get a kill with, when your opponent is running. At least the other primaries feel like they can get a good kill, even when they start running. It seems like the crucible is full of "scaredy cats". Lol! They're like a cat being hit with water, as soon as you shoot them. They just start scrambling like heck to get away and hide. It didn't seem to be like that so much in year 1. But, again, while I don't disengage and run when my health is low, and my k/d certainly shows it. I will use everything I have to try to gain the advantage in an encounter. Because, I'm not just going to sit and let you kill me, just so I can say, "At least all I used was my primary." I will do my best to kill you. Once we engage, I'm in it for the duration. I'll continue to try to kill you, even if my health gets low. I won't run. But, the amount of post-mortem and close-call medals that I have will attest to that.

I love a good 1v1 gunfight. Sadly, they seldom occur so I learned to use my equipment instead. Start off with a nade, prime, finish. Or just book it. But then again, I always stay away from the rest of my team so I need some kind of advantage.

3 AntwortenHunters refuse to gun fight its just pathetic lol they'll only charge you with a smoke and nade and if they're getting shot they'll shadestep across the map

1 AntwortenThis game's pvp needs fixing lol We need more small maps and/or reduced speeds People can fly through the air at mach 9 just to shotgun you

2 AntwortenIt's more fun when you get a kill with just your gun, the other day I went on a 15 kill streak in control with my ace of spades. I never switched weapons (except when I'm running around because I like the little twirling animation) because I didn't need to rely on any other weapon or ability

No place for mercy and blah blah Go play Dark Souls 1 for that

1 AntwortenBearbeitet von Ark: 5/7/2016 5:44:20 PMToo many nerfs to guns kill time, that's why we have so many snipers now, you can at least one shot kill with it still. Bungie will have to eventually compensate by nerfing all abilities, or giving in and actually buffing something.

What's a gunfight

1 AntwortenI got called an idiot in a different thread for saying this game is not a 1st person shooter it's a 1hko strategy game. Which it is lol. If you plan on using a primary weapon as your main source of kills then your kd is gonna suck.

1 AntwortenBearbeitet von Acris: 5/7/2016 8:17:54 AMThat's just the best way to play, minimize them shooting at you while maximizing the time you shoot at them, it shouldn't be frowned upon to use your abilities to your advantage [spoiler]just my thoughts, feel free to disagree, I'm not all knowing[/spoiler]
