Is the Halo 3 Spiker worth wielding?
What do you think of the Halo 3 Spiker? Is it worth using? I dont even have 1 kill with them because I find that they are rather ineffective to use and they are not worth going out of my way to get, I figure that a battle rifle or carbine or even a magnum will suffice. Recently I did some duals testing and found the the Spiker is the only dual wield-able weapon that I found ineffective. The Plasma Rifle, SMG, Magnum, Plasma Pistol, and Mauler all worked well when randomly combined together in dual usage but not the spiker. Is this because I play on 5 sensitivity on bumper jumper? Do you find the Spiker effective? So do you think that having a dual wield-able weapon as the default starting weapon would help you improve with and use duals more?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] J4ck D4niels Do you find the Spiker to be effective when dual-wielding with anything else besides a Spiker?[/quote] The most effective duel-wielded weapon is the "Spiker-Plasma Rifle" combo. Assembly is the best map for that combo.

meh, you have to lead your shots way too much at a distance and it fires slowly with alot of spread, i like AR better. Plasma rifle is useable though

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] J4ck D4niels Yea lol Hylebos you have responded but yes you're right, and btw.... I would take the Spiker over any other weapon..... but it bothers me that nobody uses them so why are they there?[/quote] Does it matter? Plenty of ammo for me.

i actually find it pretty effective but only dual wielded and some times you got to hit and drop one for a bit then pick it back up so it does slow you down i always use it on orbital

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] dem0n f1are It's more powerful than a BR mid-ranged and an AR close ranged. It's just nearly impossible to aim the shots correctly if your foe keeps on strafing.[/quote] Which is why its a close range weapon. Though you can definitely use it to kill silly BR users who run in beelines. Leading your shots help a lot.

I've probably answered this thread before, but am too lazy to search the 400 replies. Yes and yes again. Its just like the AR or SMG, but it's rate of fire, damage per bullet, bullet speed, and spread angle has been tweaked. It is by far the most "accurate" of the three because it posesses a tiny cone of spread. However, it fires slowly, and the shots travel slowly through the air, forcing you to lead your shots if you want to hit anything. Don't use it if you don't like it, some people prefer the SMG or the AR over it, but it is by no means a bad weapon. ...Oh wow, there I am just a tiny ways up. Awareness fail.

The gun is really good for close combat. It drains the shield and kills the person really fast.

i dono.. you tell me.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BI0H4ZZARD it is seldom used I don't know anyone who uses them but I don't know any modifications they could make because the melee is already stronger, it should probably be taken out...[/quote] They are not as strong as other duals but you're right BIOH4ZZARD the melee is stronger so fewer shots and a beatdown could kill quicker.

Spikers dont have any combat advantages whatsoever. They are practically brgging to get you killed. You look like a little noob if you run around the map and you can and will easily be shredded by my BR!
-
Spikers are for stupid Fuuck heads

When it comes down to it, using the spiker, the assault rifle, or the smg is a matter of preference. They are all very different from each other. Personally I tend to prefer the spiker and the Assault Rifle. The spiker just sounds so awesome when fired, and it has a very fast melee. I've gotten many multi kills at close range with this thing, I quickly kill one person, and move on to the next sap before he has a chance to fight back.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] GIR091572 i dont really use dual wieldable weapons i prefer the AR and BR because they always beat dual wielders[/quote] Exactly, i would take one of these any time over duals.

assault rifles better that's all that matters.
-
Am I the only person here who Dual Wields Spikers?! They're awesome, how can you not use them?
-
It's okay. It does a lot of damage but you need to lead the shots. Up close it's better than a AR.
-
No. If there were no dual wielding it would have been a good weapon and usable on its own. Kind of like how the plasma rifle and plasma pistol used to be in Halo 1.
