You can still see the pros using it in competition, so I don't see how it isn't common.
Then you factor in the random XBL kids that claw.
But most of the kids in the Halo Series don't claw, except for the ones that were here for h2 or the people that got good at CoD.
I'm talking about Halo as a whole, not the Halo Series itself, it obviously isn't common among this site.
You say that pros use it in competition. Are pros common? You say that the Halo Series in general does not use it - in general, the Halo Series is far better than the average Halo player, and still doesn't claw. I don't get what makes you think that clawing is common - it's really not. That doesn't mean it's not useful, or that it is invalid - it's just not as common as it was in H2 because of bumper jumper and the inability to claw. Maybe you just don't know what common means?
e: At your edit to my edit, you said "it's still a valid way to play the game." Did I ever suggest it wasn't?
Let me put it into perspective:
bumper jumper
54.55% (24 Votes)
default
22.73% (10 Votes)
other - specify please
22.73% (10 Votes)
Based upon the poll, only 22.7 percent of people use default. Because you think it's common, and I don't, let's just say that 50% of people claw when they use default. That means only 11% claw. How is that common? (And we both know the average default playing halo newb doesn't claw.)
