I'm a crybaby then. Having a one shot kill weapon as standard load out option is not a good idea. Why not have the option for a shotgun, too like in a sniper/shoty playlist? Camping with a shotgun in Halo was never looked highly upon.

I would also like a binary loadout option.  We already have a one-shot kill for close to medium encounters, we also need one for medium to long distance encounters.  It's only fair.

I don't see the big fuss. it's only relevant in certain game types and it's not that many. Its never bothered me! Its not that hard to run around and be conscious of someone using boltshot.

Skinnie is spot on. The weapon is not going away. Just as Binary rifles are not goint to be part of the loadouts (opinion). We just play or we don't. Not playing is the only leverage you have after buying the game.

With 56 games in matchmaking, what are you holding out for?

Deep's waiting for you to send him a game invite, but you don't want to play BigTeam. Get with it Dixon! Honestly, though, I've been playing Halo with Deep for quite awhile now and he may not be the best Slayer, he's a very good communicator and team player(Deep, please deposit the funds into my PayPal acct. Thanks!)

Ka-chng! Yeah, I like communication in game. I like a chatty team. As for MM, it's mostly not on my schedule. My heavy Forging/campaign is done in the daytime and like Dixon, I have to share the TV at night. Keeps me out of trouble.

So now you think you are smarter than me? If you don't actually believe the hyperbole you fill your commentary with why do you do it? We are not all mind readers. We are not all experts at divining meaning from each others grammar. I suggest you leave hyperbole out of your comments.

It is a fuss if those "certain game types" are the ones you play most often. CTF games on small maps become a certain team campfest. Being the first team to control the shotgun spawn had a higher chance of success of this weapon is secured.  It's a strategy. Not now with the mini shotgun as a load out. Now, if you play Big Team I can see the boltshot not being a game changing  issue. If you play Big Team, fine. That's your choice. But to call those of us who play different games where a boltshot and make or break a game "crybabies" , is out of line. Keep name calling to yourself.

Yea, I'm a crybaby too.  This whole update is a whole lot of useless.  Just because you are ok with the way the boltshot works it doesn't mean it's not broken.

I've played with Deep a fair amount in these Thursday night get togethers, and he's a little chatty, which is nice.
