Button combos were considered 'cheating' because they gave the player an advantage. There is no advantage here because every single Last Word has this problem. It would be different if you had to press a series of buttons to get that damage but you just shoot. A more viable argument on your behalf would be the NLB animation canceling button combo, which if done correctly skips the cocking animation on the NLB. But I don't see you complaining about that.

    But every player in Halo 2 (barring PAL users, I believe) could pull off button glitches. Yet not everyone has The Last Word. So, people who have the weapon do in fact have an unfair advantage over everyone else.

  • Yeah so? In Halo 2 you didn't have to wait for a BR to drop. You just had it. Everyone could have one no matter what. Not everyone knew about the button combos, and not everyone had the ability to use them all the time, or even competitively. That's what made it unfair. Just because someone has TLW does not mean that they have an [unfair] advantage. It's fair play.

    So button glitches, which (almost) anybody had access to and could pull off effectively with enough practice, are an unfair advantage? Okay, and Bungie agreed with that back then. Yet The Last Word, a weapon which not everybody has, with a possibly bugged perk that gives it a massive damage boost in comparison to other weapons in the same class, which people can exploit with enough practice, [i]isn't[/i] considered an unfair advantage? I don't understand the logic here. How you can say button glitches are unfair, but The Last Word isn't is beyond me. That's some serious doublethink right there.
