With a modded controller there's literally NO reason not to use the carbine, since there's no downside.

The downside is you're cheating.

And isn't that why BLOPs put a limit on how fast you can shoot on one of the single shot rifles.

[Ryaaan14]

Carbine wasn't a starting weapon in 3, was it? It also functioned different too, didn't it?

I didn't play much Halo 3 or Halo 2 with the Army and all.

Also, I think modded controllers in MP is more of a "thing" now than it was then.



It's a shame what they did to that game. So much potential.



No, they just unlock.

The only thing you're locked into is that level set.

Wasn't a starting weapon but they were easily available. And they functioned the same as Halo 4.

343i are giving away one of those briefcases with a screen in it and some Tritton Warheads. The only entry requirement is that you have to visit the Waypoint forums. It's a heavy price to pay, I know.

You're actually going to ban for modded controllers?

Epic/MS with Gears 3 decided not to since and I quote "People can fire faster with their fingers than with modded controllers."

If you guys are going to ban for that, great, but how exactly are you going to be able to track that? In game hooks that detect far too consistent/fast firing? Reports from fileshare?

The downside is you're cheating.

And isn't that why BLOPs put a limit on how fast you can shoot on one of the single shot rifles.

If only that mattered on the internet.

I... I did it. I'm not proud of it, but posted there.

Modded controllers can be tracked since ages and got banned in Halo, at least in Halo3.

blocked in germany. fuck. any alternate links?
i really love the soundtrack, too bad it gets drowned by the sound effects most of the time. this is why i wanted sliders for sfx/voices/music 343!
fuck the visual ranks, patch in some damn audio options!

 

[Steelyuhas]

so are you locked in the pacific armor with what ever specialization your using...

Nah, I think they were just showing off the armor and the armor mods together. Doesn't make a whole of a sense that if you pick a specific armor mod it locks you into specific armor.

The progression system seems really fast. :/

 

[Ryaaan14]

To anyone with the game, what is the commendation prerequisite for the EVA helmet? I remember it being called "Call to Arms" or some shit, but I have no idea what it actually is.

 

[Woorloog]

How do commendations work this time? Still the same shit as in Reach or what?

This is the most common answer, along with "rolling all over the place."

But that game is literally the hardest shooter I've played to be good at, and I'm pretty good at it. The learning curve is steep, that's for sure. I definitely understand it's not for everyone though. Hell, after 3 I don't even play it anymore.

Anyone want the Halo Reach Elite Falcon armor DLC? I have no need of it.

Your check is in the mail.

Alright I'm going to try this for the third and final time.

What exactly am I going to miss out on by canceling my LE game and buying the season pass since I already have the LE console on pre-order.

Anyone?

A skin for a weapon, a skin for the recruit armor, recruit avatar armor, something else for your avatar, FUD extended download code, fiction swag and early access to the other specialisations

edit: lol at Instinct

You get all the specializations just by playing online before the 20th now, LE not required.

Gnasher duels are the Gears equivalent of BR battles. Nobody wants to play Turtles of War with everyone constantly in cover.

I'm still playing Reach for the next couple days, why not lol

If anyone would like to TRADE their LE Assault Rifle skin for a winter Battle Rifle skin, let me know.

I personally just don't like the winter look, but the AR looks pretty bad ass.

Edit- Same goes for the Forest Armor Skin. I don't know what the other offers are, but let me know if you're interested.

I'd like to note that the LE content may all be tied to one code. NOT 100% sure but this has been the case for some games.

This makes things difficult :|

Fun Police's communication is really fishy. Automatic callouts, no way they could have done that in a weekend.

Gold Attic, Red Hallway?

You think the leaked copies are going to play that big of an advantage?

Of course. How is that a question? Without a doubt it's a huge advantage, at least now.

Map been around since E3, descriptive MLG map callout papers handed out and IGN coverage. Wouldn't look into it yet.

You can for sure study up on this stuff.
