343 confirmed three days later that this was false and Halo 2 Anniversary wasn't in development, sorry. Kotkau lied to you, how unbelievable that may sound. Also, that GI editor has as much info as anyone else with an internet connection.

Yea not really sure why anyone would do that. Main thing is H4 asset ripping its got some good looking stuff and porting it into a game like CE could do much to bump its fidelity up when combined with things like Open Sauce

God, its so frustrating. This game is SO CLOSE to being great, but then you have loadouts. Honestly I don't think anyone liked them in reach. If 343 wanted killstreaks, they should have been AAs.

 

[Nowise10]

If you go into a game and just play not expecting it to be balanced, the game is pretty fun.

I'm hoping they'll do away with Personal Loadouts in Halo 5. Maybe in one or two playlists, but not in the majority of them.

A lot of the problems in Halo 4 would be solved if it were moddable. Halo 5 better top Custom Edition, or I doubt it'll be able to compete with games on the PC. MS's attitude towards modding will be its downfall.

I have no problem with loadouts... it's just perks and AAs that get me.

Plus whoever thought of ordnance can feel unpleasant.

And the DMR.. There is no point in using anything else if you're at least okay at video games. I use the BR more but I end up switching halfway through because I'm guilted into it.

I alternate between the DMR and LR. The 4sk is really useful on large maps.

 

[Seance]

This is so wrong on so many levels. The majority who wants CoD style games is playing CoD right now. Halo 4 MP has tanked.

Try telling 343. They will never be convinced.

You guys remember daedalius? Why did he quit coming around?

 

[Hydranockz]

I think he's been focusing on his commisions as of late. Been doing some pretty sick pieces for Warhammer if I recall correctly. Don't think he's been playing Halo at all lately.

 

[Madness]

My only problem with the DMR is that it's a starting weapon that is deadly accurate and can shoot across 80 percent of the map.

Gone is map control, map play, all it comes down to is one side pinging the other and close quarters combat is all but dead. Not necessarily saying I don't like the gunplay but still.

I have a +1600 spread with the DMR, I use it precisely because it's so good. My point is, the matches have devolved into some type of 1800's firing range. One side lines up the other and fires away.

Add in stability, camo and you can win almost every shootout. I don't want a nerf to the DMR, I want it removed from large, especially open maps. It ruined boneyard, hemorrhage, and now complex and ragnarok.

I actually love single shot precision weapons, I just wish it couldn't hit so far. Completely ruins what the game is. Anyone that breaks through the firing zone, and closes the distance, you can then deal with them using boltshot.

 

[Booshka]

I have the exact opposite response, I don't care at all about kills or deaths, winning or losing, I'm just fucking bored.

FOV looks weird. I have no idea if it's too small or just zoomed out weirdly but it looks wrong.

At lest it has a TARDIS too.

Some one should make a map where you use the TARDIS to teleport to other areas of the map that look like they are from different time periods...

 

[User 73706]

If CE or 2 or 3 or whatever got rereleased on Steam, I would legitimately consider adding in my sandbox and multiplayer features or whatever as a mod if I could round up a ragtag bunch of misfit developers. It still needs a name, though.

 

[FyreWulff]

A Halo mod isn't complete until it has at least one thing in it from a completely different IP

 

[Booties]

So basically Bungie threw a bunch of weird ideas at halo with Reach, then said "fuck it" and gave it to 343.

343 put even worse successors to these ideas in Halo 4.

Now we are sitting here arguing about one small mechanic in one gun because....why?

The game has so much shit wrong with it. Stop trying to fix the DMR.

It looks way better in 19:9, i don't know why you'd actually play it like that.

Mod does look pretty great therwise though!

Its still something that should be fixed though isn't it? There are problems and the DMR IS one of them. Really though the fix would be as easy as a 2x scope and maybe some more recoil. At least thats what it seems like everyone wants.

Nope. Here's a list of easy fixes before you go fixing mechanics:

1. Ordnances
2. Weapons on maps
3. Loadouts
4. AAs
5. Sprint
6. Map developers
7. Flinch
8. Descoping
9. Spawn placement
10. Vehicles

I believe that the DMR can be better, but I think if you try sliding the abacus around you're going to fuck a lot of shit up. The game is a mess. Don't blame the DMR because it ruins BTB. 4v4 isn't fun for you? It's probably because the game isn't designed for 4v4-arena gameplay in the first place, not because of the DMR.

I think at the end of the day we're only discussing the DMR because there's no "skilled"-rifle equivalent to the H1 Pistol and the other rifles are outclassed by it.

The DMR is certainly no enemy afterall. The only way I think it should be "nerfed" is if it gets a skilled-based buff (ie: less auto aim/magnetism but then making it a 4sk, etc.). I'm usually against nerfing a part of the sandbox unless it's really warranted. The Boltshot didn't need that nerf, it just should've been removed from loadouts for example.


This is the same problem we saw with Halo 3. It was easier for people to want a BR nerf (lol) instead of buffing the rest of the sandbox. It's tricky with Halo 4 because people are repeating the cycle, but it's not necessarily true since the DMR isn't absurdly broken and the rest of the sandbox is actually effective aside from the niche rifles (BR good for sweeping, LR good for 4sk sometimes, Carbine for.. umm.. dolphins.). The set up of multiplayer is just fudged with loadouts and the random Ordnance system with no weapons on the maps.


RIP Red X's, Mk.V and Grenade Launcher.

Honestly I think the first 4 were addressed by Team Throwdown nicely. Though by loadouts if you mean removing PP, Plasma Grenades and the Boltshot, I 100% agree.

As for 6, the new maps are great, yeah they were not done by 343 but I don't really care about it that much really.

Other stuff I do agree on though.

Quick question, but I wonder why a part of the community seems to hate the DMR but loves the Halo CE Magnum ? I mean, it's basically the same idea, a weapon that can shoot at close and long range, quickly and with hit scan ? Is it all about the AIM assist ?

ce pistol didn't have a 3x scope or babby levels of assist, and it wasn't hitscan either.

I forget its shot do not travel instantly, that's right. But between 2x and 3x scope, I'mnot sure the difference is too big.

it's one of the major differences between the br and dmr, so you bet it's big. mostly in the added assist range it grants.
