According to Josh, the game won't have the classic Rocket Launcher. That's a shame. It was one of the few remaining classic Halo designs. I wouldn't mind a new design but thus far what we've seen the new design seems very plain. Hopefully we when see it in action it'll be more polished.

Guessing that missile launcher replaces it?
 
So, thinking about it, I think the NuRocket Launcher might not be a redesign, per se; what if they split up the OG launcher into basically 2 weapons: 1 single shot with homing (the tube), one multi shot w/o (the Hydra)?

I have found it very useful with the AR at long distance. Some kills I definitely wouldn't have gotten without the new scope system and the much tighter spread. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it because it's affecting autos and not precision weapons. However its definitely odd.

It is, mechanically, but some weapons block part of your vision, as ADS does.

I don't like the dumb overlay in the snipe scope either. The zooming animations are off too.

If you're talking about all weapons, it's not just visual.
 
My install has been stuck at 75% for about 30 minutes now. I tried doing a hard restart of my xbox and resuming but it's still at the same point. Is that pretty normal?

Edit: I can see on my router that there's not very much traffic any more. It was at about 40 megabit before it got to 75%.

Feels like it slows down the game and disturbs your field of vision without any reason. Both gameplay wise and lore wise it doesn't make sense.

Don't like the addition at all.

So far I'm having very mixed feelings about the beta. 1 second it feels like Halo and the next I feel like I'm playing CoD.
 
yeah the ADS on the auto weapons does make them more accurate. I treat SMG as a semi power weapon though, the thing shreds. Keep in mind you can always knock people out of ADS also.
 
Looks like I'm not going to get a code because I disabled the preview updates a couple of weeks ago (figured since nothing big was happening anyway no harm would come from doing so over Christmas)

That sucks
 
I've been thinking about the effect of ADS on the AR. It seems like in close quarters where you'd normally use the AR in classic Halo, it feels very similar. Scoping is essentially pointless as you'd be knocked out straight away and you wouldn't be able to aim fast enough to track your target. As such it doesn't really feel any different when considering it from a purely aiming standpoint.

Where scoping does come in to play is at mid range. And it makes the AR far more effective than its classic counterparts. The tighter spread means the upper limit on the effective range is greatly increased. Where the AR would have been completely useless before, it now can actually defend the player.

So from what I have seen, the inclusion of this semi ADS doesn't really have any effect on the classic usage of the AR. What it actually appears to do is increase the effective range of the AR without making it OP in close quarters. Which I kinda like. Maybe, need to play some more first.

However I'm not that worried about smart scope's effect with the AR.

How did you feel that it slowed the game down?


I do agree that it makes 0 sense from a lore perspective. Why does raising the weapon up a bit suddenly massively decrease spread. You're still running around at the same speed and jumping etc.
 
My game broke mid match. I even got matched with Heckfu :(
