Definitely reduce your Deadzone as much as possible. If you like the current controls just keep acceleration at 3 (although I recommend trying 2) but there is no reason not to fix the shitty inner deadzone in this game.
Only played Noctus once (nice map so far) but I am so bored of Warzone on the launch maps that I havent been inclined to search it that much. It needs to have a higher weighting for the first week. Overgrowth may be even worse than Plaza from what I've played. Tight corridors do not play well in this game. So much made spam. Sword AND Shotty was a horrendous decision as well. Like, seriously guys? Who thought that was a good idea.
Whoever does the power weapon set up for each map (if it's one person) needs to reconsider their philosophy.
I feel like the Hydra is actually more functionally similar to the plasma launcher, albeit much weaker. The lock-on of the Hydra always reminded me of the PL. I guess the primary fire of the caster is similar though with non homing plasmas if I remember correctly. Actually it's almost like they split it into two weapons. Too bad they both kind of suck.
I always loved that weapon even if it was kinda OP at times. On the other hand, the grenade launcher is still the best designed weapon in Reach. Would love to see it return.
Yeah, I'll mess with it tonight and see what I like.
Once you get a competent team in Warzone on Noctus, you'll love it. It's just a great map no matter how you look at it. I've played on it twice, losing the first one just by a bit and winning the next one by a bit. Much better for vehicles and I love that the W.E. spawns twice. Me and my team got him both times.
I actually like them adding the sword and the shotty in Overgrowth. I think the problem is that placement of them as if you're spawned near the sword, you or your team could grab that, the shotty just down and around the corridor and even the camo in a matter of seconds.
I honestly don't don't know how anyone could hate Plaza or the Rig but reading yours and others comments shows otherwise lol
LOVE those maps. I'll even go as far as to say they are some of the best ever made in a Halo game to me and I'm a long time fan of the series. Dead serious.
The Hydra was at once my least used power weapon, much like the Caster but once you learn how to properly apply it you just rack up kills. It's the perfect power weapon on Eden and Plaza imho.
I would love to see the grenade launcher return though. I agree.
Edit: Spell check is a gift and a curse lol
