Honestly that was the first time I was able to get that many kills with it, if you are off by even a little you will miss the kill.

reminds me a bit of an overcharged pp + melee from reach in that it appears you virtually have to be that close to pull it off.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Said this in the gaming side but if you guys want to get in an out of combat the fastest go with regen, as soon as your shields start coming back (instantly when you touch it) get out of it and go find someone to kill

 

[Tha Robbertster]

If you don't have firepower as your perk, I don't see why you would even choose the magnum as a secondary weapon. You can have a mini shotgun or an EMP gun instead.

That video just showcases how much fun it's going to be to feast on BKs in the early days.

headshots. but yeah, for most matches, it seems the boltshot or pp.

Seriously. I'm seeing a HUGE skill gap here

 

[MrGreencastle]

Being able to spawn with a 1hk capable shotgun doesn't exactly sound balanced to me.

Easier said than done, it takes quite the accuracy to be able to do that.

 

[Ramirez]

Isn't the Boltshot headshot capable?

 

[The Librarian]

Isn't the Boltshot headshot capable?

Yes.

 

[broony]

Since MP stuff was deemed ok to show, I uploaded a BTB match on Exile.

I die 3 times by the same guy with a SAW at the start but I do pretty good after that.

Great video thanks. Can see how the game allows for a range of play styles and maybe more variety with weapons than past games.

 

[op_ivy]

Isn't the Boltshot headshot capable?

Yes.

huh. nm then

i guess the pistol has... 2x zoom? wow.

maybe we'll get the flagnum in an update

Especially in Infinity Slayer. I'm going to be raining down power weapons all day against waves of rage-quitting dongbait.

[MrBig]

It's still capable of a 1hk, and it is headshot capable. It's going to be the go-to pistol and people will master the 1hk with it quickly.

welp forgot about shitting the green stuff.. I'll be using that alot... good game monkey...

Lol even the worst player here is going to feel like Walshy in his prime for the first week.

 

[The P of Poland]

The Boltshot looks great. I really really want to try this game.

Lol even the worst player here is going to feel like Walshy in his prime for the first week.

This sounds promising.

 

[RebornYeti]

Seems my go-to loadout is going to be:

LightRifle
Boltshot
Plasma Grenade
Regen or Thruster
Dexterity or Resupply

LightRifle is unlocked at SR-22, right?

 

[IHaveIce]

I will choose Damage Boost when I have the option, all the time. That thing looked insane yesterday in the stream

it sure did. along the same lines, overshield is not like the old overshield, is it? it seems to strip so much faster (not necessarily a bad thing since its an ordnance item)

 

[wwm0nkey]

Its pretty much a "Take 3 extra bullets to kill" power, its honestly better to choose Speed or Power over OS.

The Needler is the ultimate power weapon! No Joke!

 

[MrGreencastle]

It's still capable of a 1hk, and it is headshot capable. It's going to be the go-to pistol and people will master the 1hk with it quickly.

PP tracks, strips shields instantly, and disables vehicles... combined with a mêlée, its almost as powerful as the BS one shot.

 

[Garrett 2U]

Lol, in this IGN Slayer Pro walkthrough, Kevin Franklin accidentally refers to the Resupply upgrade as the "Scavenger perk." (around 3:05)
Awkward .

 

[EvB]

Apart from you'll never get the choice of Overshield, Speed or Power on the same drop.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

That was a fucking great video Monkey, I may have to reconsider what my secondary is going to be now.

What's your favorite map so far?

lol oh god. I'm sure it's from explaining to CoD familiar people what it's like.

edit; Also just got hit up by a Youtube partner because he thought I could get him a copy of the game for free. LOLZ

 

[wwm0nkey]

What's your favorite map so far?

Slayer - Heaven

BTB - Exile or Longbow

Need to try out more maps on more game types but so far these maps are very nice.

 

[Sofa King]

Can someone tell me what the population count has been for multiplayer? Just trying to get some idea of how many people are playing early.

Wednesday it was 100, this weekend its around 2k+

There are around 4k people on right now.

Have you played BTB on Ragnarok yet?

If so, how is it?

 

[wwm0nkey]

Yeah but it was laggy, the few minutes it wasn't though was great

OK then, that's the nice thing about the loadout system. Play however you want to play.

 

[too much eslim]

LightRifle
Boltshot

What? No way. .

 

[Ryaaan14]

Sadness is kicking in that I have to work on the 6th.

I could probably rush though campaign the night before but I'd prefer to enjoy it in one sitting not having to worry about waking up in time for work.

How many of you are going to be just playing MP the night of release?

 

[Swarmerr]

Because the majority of the player base doesn't want "ranked" playlists (look at any trends of ranked vs. unranked playlist population in not just Halo, but just about any game). This way, all the playlists can be "ranked" for those that want to look it up, and the majority that don't want that or don't care aren't bothered by it.

Personally, I'd prefer if the ranks were in the game, but I see why they are doing it the way they are.



I laughed.


This Halo 4 ad they keep showing in the MLG stream (and I've seen it several other places) would be nice if they threw a few lines of dialogue in there.

Bolded is a very good point. Less segmentation of playlist, still get matched up eventually against good opponents providing you play well, don't have to worry about when you start playing having hard time finding games. Wins all the way around.

And they charge my card the least, thank goodness.

Confirmation page: $27

This is so disgraceful.

MLG running a bad event? Color me shocked.

I'll be playing MP from day 1. I'll eventually get around to the campaign, but probably not for the first couple of weeks (until after Thanksgiving) so I can go through it all at once.

 

[HigherLevel]

I don't know if it's the weapon itself, or if better players prefer using it, but every time I see people using the DMR they play better than the other weapons.

 

[HiredN00bs]

My arm is numb from raising my hand at this point. It may require amputation, which would negatively impact my performance.

 

[LAUGHTREY]

I don't know if it's the weapon itself, or if better players prefer using it, but every time I see people using the DMR they play better than the other weapons.

They're just used to the DMR in the Reach type game, and a better player would do better with the DMR because it's hit or miss, no chance of a half-hit.

lol at the final killcam.

I'm starting to think that I may end up with one loadout that has Storm Rifle Primary, Boltshot Secondary. Would be great for close quarters.

Storm rifle played meh in my opinion

 

[Fracas]

So is the Suppressor as useless as some people have said? The AR looks to be the best automatic, but that's just me.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

Can there really be a ''best'' automatic rifle?

 

[nillapuddin]

Seems my go-to loadout is going to be:

LightRifle - 2
Boltshot - 2
Plasma Grenade -2
Regen or Thruster - 3 / 2
Resupply - 1
Dexterity - 1

LightRifle is unlocked at SR-22, right?

LR = lvl 22 yes.

either way, your dream loadout there consists of 10or11 points, which leaves you with 12or11 extra SP to mess around with (once you hit 22)

all weapons are 2 points, mods are 1, and AA are mostly 3

I think you could easily get to what you want, have some flexibility along the way and be a happy camper

math fail
