Halo 4 |OT| Spartans Never Die
- Thread starter GhaleonEB
- Start date
I've actually been using the thruster.
As compared to what, the ICBM grenades in Reach?
Grenades are one of the things that 343 got right, from their strength to the perk necessary to pick them up.

Yeah, I think grenades are perfect. Better than the mini nukes from Reach.
I still prefer CE grenades :/

Hardlight Shield. With the lowered kill times, every shot counts, so when you can retreat and recuperate it helps you stay alive for much longer.
hardlight shield all the way.

so a couple of things, I had to beat the 1st level twice, because the commendations didn't pick it up. My buddy already beat the game on legendary solo and it only shows on the commendations that he beat the first level.
And is there any way to view stats via mobile yet?
Exactly. It's a godsend when I'm getting DMRed from long range. It buys me enough time to get to cover and let my shields regenerate.

My Spartan IV at the moment. Probably wont change armour until I unlock Scout. My only problem with the game is that it says my campaign is in "progress"...when I have actually finished it. Otherwise....best multiplayer I have ever played.

Beat campaign, best since Halo 1 (IMO). 
Oh, me:
Oh, me:
Skill and twitch aren't mutually exclusive. Quake 3 is a highly twitch and skill based game. Nor does a game being twitch based mean that you die faster.

Well, it feels way more twitch than any Halo game before it.
It wouldn't bother me so much if I didn't get the impression that every console shooter on the market is twitch now. I feel like I just lost the only game that was skill over reflex. Well, there is Gears but I'm not crazy about Gears.

asked this before, but how many assassinations do you need to get the helmet
i know you need to master it, but how many is it
Reach is ass, I like to pretend that game doesn't exist lol. Compared to Halo 2/3's.

Yeah, I was hoping for a bit more in that regard as well. I wish they had fleshed all of that out just a bit more, it would have helped both story and gameplay wise IMO.
Agreed, but throwing them feels a little off.

Have they said when the playlist update goes live? Really looking forward to playing some SWAT.

I'm not sure to be honest. This is the ALT version of the armour that I got for pre-ordering it from Mighty Ape (New Zealand). I also got an ALT version of the Gungnir armour.

I use auto sentry. A lot of people seem to back away from them or attack them, even though they dont really do that much damage.
The best Lego.

What is everyones preferred starting rifle at this point?
I find my self using the Carbine/thruster pack on most small maps, and DMR/jet pack on bigger maps.

Don't worry. Recruit helmet is top tier by virtue of resembling ODST's.
Hologram, Hardlight Shield and Thruster the most. I've just unlocked Regen and I like it too. Lets me get back into the battles quicker.

Is there a list of the armor and how to unlock it?
This much is fact.

Personally I am not a fan of the current looking spartan armours, they changed the boots to be like, a few blocks of metal here and there compared to the halo 1 gear which we have not really ever seen again.

My spartan currently. He's a space samurai!
How do you get that helmet? Is it a pre-order bonus?

It's from the halo waypoint "Raider" codes. They were posted earlier in the thread.

Just finished it. Solid game pretty much all the way through. Didn't count the hours but it felt properly long, which I haven't felt about a Halo game since CE.
Damned nice game, great job 343i!

I'm with you, don't like the anything about the Spartan IVs infact, give me a bunch of humorous marines over them any day. Can't say I like the Covenant's summer gear look either but at least that can be explained away as a sect grabbing whatever they can put to use.

Ya know, those types of helms are just easy target practice for DRMs....just sayin'.

My exact thoughts.
I was thinking the same thing, but headshots are much easier overall than past Halos. I absolutely love that helmet.

What's the point of having these cool looking armors if you can't really enjoy watching them in the game. I know it's heresy to say this but... Halo 4 and the new trilogy should at least give you the option to play in 3rd person perspective. Heck I'll take that option in Spartan Ops!
