I've become what I hated most in PVP
I've finally joined the dark side. My primary weapon is almost exclusively thorn or the last word and I have a matador with aggressive ballistics shot package reinforced barrel and knee pads. I'm not proud of myself.

Use high impact pulse and scouts, thorn dies. Ofc the shotgun is necessary coz its still dominant but i understand what you mean. Thorn circle jerkers will never want it nerfed. Personally i hate using it too so much so I barely use it. I am now on .25 pulse, nad3d and Gheleon. Sometimes the NX and High. Works fine in IB

It's about winning don't feel bad. You have simply made the choice to use weapons that are very effective in PVP. Like using Gjallarhorn in PVE. You picked the right tools for the job. This isn't dark side it's common sense. :)
-
At least you admit it
-
I turned to the dark side this time as well iv had my thorn for about 4 months ranked it up and never did anything with it. And near enough every death I reviewed in the iron banner yesterday was at the hands of the thorn so I figured if you can't beat them join them.
-
I hear you , I run thorn and felwinters never did until trials came out
-
Been using thorn for awhile now, after the first time it dropped me. Its a beast, leveled or not, but simple to counter. I drop other thorn users by getting that first headshot then strafe and fire. I usually walk away alive and they go down.
-
Major problem affecting pvp is this "fight fire with fire" mentality where nobody discovers what they do better than others and find weapons tailored to a playstyle that works for them. It eliminates variety and degrades to a game mode where everyone is forced into using the same weapons and strategies, when an undiscovered tactic might work much better for a playstyle that hasn't been explored because too many players are locked into this tunnel vision of using the first good strat that comes along and never wavering.
-
And that being what nearly everyone is using is why there is more of a cry for a thorn nerf from idiots rather than an overall weapon buff to make all the new weapons and their possible custom rolls viable. 5 weapons in pvp. Wtf is fun about that?
-
I got felwinters's from iron banner, it's changed me

3 отв.I echo this. Loved my mida and Gheleons, but am now exclusively using thorn. Halo was great because everybody started a match with the same weapons, and would rush to pick up the heavies. It was an equal playing field and your results depended purely on your skill, strategy and tactical awareness. I now use thorn to replicate the equal playing field, not because I particularly enjoy the weapon or think it's fun to use. I'd rather use a scout. It's a shame really. I have never asked for a buff or a nerf, but I think everyone can agree that if thorn didn't exist, we'd probably all become much more skilled players, and would all be more open minded to try using more weapons for variety. The only skill I've learnt from encountering a thorn user is how to run away from a fight when Dot kicks in, and I don't like being a wuss! In closing, I like having fun. I define having fun as winning. Thorn equals winning. Others can have their fun however they define it.

You know how the game hints "there is a dark mirror to your traveller"..THIS is the dark mirror they were talking about.

Изменено (SONiC BoOM): 6/7/2015 1:32:49 AMYeah I use TLW with the same matador as you. In this case I couldn't beat em so I joined em And I hate it
-
I feel dirty when I use thorn :(
-
I was that guy several iron banners ago. I stopped playing until recently and have been having more fun with a mida. I don't fjnish near the top as much but it's much more fun! It's also quite satisying to out range thron players.
-
I don't use Thorn if enemy doesn't use it when they do I take mine out still enjoy taking them out with a pulse rifle though
-
2 отв.After the last Vex nerf, I only use Thorn and Hawkmoon. It is very sad.
-
2 отв.You are the eventual outcome of Bungies massive failed attempt at balancing and diversifying gunplay in PVP. Suros->Thorn->Whats next?
-
I have a Matdor and use it with no shame
-
By now most pvp players should have an arsenal of weapons to choose from for any given situation. I have all primary exotic weapons on each chr as well as shot package shotties and final round snipers if I need them. Also normal snipers that I prefer. Depending on the other team actions I can counter with the same. I will only use thorn or final round if the other team is spaming them otherwise il run a normal sniper and the messenger or tlw. Shottie for certain maps but prefer sniper.
-
14 отв.You know why people used a battle rifle instead of An auto rifle in halo? Because it was the better gun and all of the good players used it.
-
Sweaty Sweaty
-
I feel the same way, but not with primaries, I started using my spear with final round during the first trials, so OP....so unfair
-
Lmao I still snipe but find myself using thorn if the oposing team is thorning us to death.
-
7 отв.I'll use thorn if my team mates ask me, but I'm strictly a pulse rifle guy now. I'll use a felwinters but it's not a cheap one. Unless you think using field scout to always have ammo is dirty.
-
This IB I did this as well. But now trying the juju and voidwalker for different play style. I felt bad because the thorn did not seem to be used as much as I remember? Or I've been on the forums more ; )
-
2 отв.I use Queenbreakers Bow. Learning to use it and feels great.
