Aight. If you're using the Beam Rifle, don't scope. Being 100% serious, you can hit a target with the Beam Rifle at almost any range without scoping. For the Forerunner Sniper, just be patient and only aim for the body. No sense in wasting a shot aiming for the head. If you're using the human sniper, try and move with the person you're aiming for. Auto aim will like to snap you to them a bit more if you can move with them. And with all of them there's a large amount of shame in using in combination with Camo, but since it allows you to exploit it, do it.

Double XP was really no big deal.

Don't scope with the human sniper either. It's not as epic auto-aim not scoped as the beam rifle, but it's still pretty easy to no-scope.
It was "not P2W" and "not a big deal" in the exact same way that timed perks are "not P2W" and "not a big deal." You spend money, you unlock stuff a bit sooner. Similar things.

Also, you could practice with an extra controller.
Or get a couple of people to Octagon with.
Nah, you are just getting matched up with shitty people.
Not to mention until there was a near-nuclear meltdown there was no way for purchasers of non-limited edition copies of the game to have any of the armor mods except for Stealth and Wheelman at launch, which even then still took time, and even then wasn't available for everyone except for those who played the first week. It's only recently that anyone who purchased a copy of the game in, say, the December Christmas rush would be able to use any of the armor mods other than those two.
Ok. I will basically bow to my mediocrity.
Locking the perks was a trash decision. Are they all unlocked by now?
But again, the DXP and pre-order stuff didn't bother me because after 5 matches you would be on even playing ground. If it was like CoD and you could buy or grind faster for a Prestige 800 level nuke gun, then that would be some shit.

I think everyone does. That thing is not consistent at all.
That's because the Scattershot blows unless you're host. It's like the Halo 2 shotgun with slower projectiles.

Scatter shot would be nice if the whole rebound off walls to get people in cover actually worked well, i'd like to see a future version revised to travel further and maybe rebound more then once before the particles fade out, maybe even amp the shot if rebounded?
I personally can't kill with it very well, always feels like I need 3+ shots to take someone out even up close.

I spam the hell out of that weapon if I don't get that first shot kill.

I would have preferred gametypes like Race, Gun Game, and Assault in the new DLC as opposed to more perks.
Oh well, guess modders have it taken care of.
Re Quote. Beam rifle isnt the problem. The actual snipe is. I couldnt hit air with it if i was in an oxygen tank. I get plenty of body shots but getting headshots when it counts is just not happening for me.

Practice makes perfect? I have no problem getting head shots. I'm not a god with the weapon but I can get head shots when needed.

Start practicing using Team Snipers and turtling from a distance and slowly branch out to closer and closer levels of combat.
One thing that helped for me a lot: turn down your aim sensitivity 2 or 3 levels. It does wonders to help you not overshoot. Rely on simple gestures while aiming rather than trying to do exaggerated movements to suppress multiple people. Additionally, try not to "twitch shot" and rely on aim assist like you can in Reach and 2. Instead, lead your shots like you would a Halo 3 battle rifle. It only takes a few simple gestures to get a shot in place. If you predict correctly, you'll be rewarded with an easy shot - Spartans will walk into your crosshairs, rather than you trying to move your crosshairs onto them. To help with the frustration, try not to pick off people using Sprint until you're confident enough in your leading to accurately get headshots.

I typically play at aim assist level 10. The thing that fucks me over is the inability to modify the vertical aim sensitivity. And yeah, practice makes perfect. Just hop into Snipes for a bit and pray for good connections.

Yeah, just spam it. Works for me, usually. Sometimes people still eat shots, though.
It pisses me off extra cause i was pretty good with it in H3.

I have good enough(tm) aim. My main issue is Father Time repeatedly fisting me every time I hop on because of my shit mountain connection.

Isnt Ricochet kinda already like assault? Im pretty sure a real assault can easily be made with that gametype.
Arm/disarm time is permanently instant despite there being a setting for it. They've known this since before launch and have yet to patch it.
This is also assuming that Ricochet is based on Griffball, which it appears to be.

Highly doubtful. -2/10 would not believe again.

So is there any reason why Spartan Ops is still locked away for Silver & offline players?
I guess originally they made it online only so people couldn't go offline and just change their Xbox's date to unlock the next Episode & Chapters early but now that it's finished, surely we can change it up now?

My tactics may be awful. My connection may be awful. But I can assure you my aim is not.

Art dump! Artist labels it as concepts for H4 Crimson map pack. Strange, because most of the artwork looks to come from the second part of Spartan Ops season 1.
a) The Infinity section seem to have more going on. Possible that there might have been a outside section?
b) I can't see anything that was taken from the 'Jewel' artwork. Maybe the idea became the level 'Harvester'? Could also be work for 'Fortress'.
c) Sentinal Factory became 'Lockout' I guess. Again, it seem to be grander and had more going on.

Any Halo is fun with friends. I had something similar when my old Halo 2 clan founder played Halo 4 early on, crazy catch up after an eternity of not even seeing him online.
That Gamestop run shows true dedication though!

These are cool, wish we had wallpaper sizes!
It sounds in your posts like you could change the aim assist. Sens 5 here.
Played on 10 for a long time, saw pros all play around 4-5 and changed mine to look why.
Never going back
Tashi sells copies! Give this man a job!

Agreed. The mode was really fun, but it changed for the worse IMO.

Really cool stuff. I wish the art translated to the game better.
Btw, can we lock one of these Halo threads and move discussion to just one? Its weird and confusing discussing Halo 4 in two threads.
