Now that the next Halo will use dedicated servers. Who would prefer the weapons to go back to a bullet travel system instead of hit scan?
I did my best.

Noone good at Halo.
I'd like that.
Hit scan is cheap. There should be no need for it with dedicated servers anyways. The problem with bullet velocity in Halo 3 was the fact that it was entirely dependant on the host (and as someone who had many many games with a yellow bar, was really unreliable. Obviously said problem would be non-existent with dedicated servers). Not to mention bullet velocity increases "skill gap" (if you even want to go there which I normally don't, but will because of the above comment) by making people adjust for the distance the enemy is from them and movement.

Problem with bullet lead is it was undefined and there was no measurement system, and lag is going to effect it exactly the same way on Halo 5 on Xbox One with the dedi's, just no one will have the 'host' advantage. People are still going to have 'better connection' advantage with dedi's. Non hit scan is going to be almost just as sketchy in Halo 5.
Non hit scan should be left to projectile shot weapons like plasma pistols and rifles, and rockets and cannon weapons and whatever I left out I dont feel like thinking of all of them atm.

I agree.. I saw yesterday someone sniping someone in the chest (of course instakill) and everyone in the chat went "woooooow" I was like "wtf this was nothing?"
Though I like the SnD gametype, want to create one for Halo, though watching it is pure boredom
Leading has better 'feel' to me, but it doesn't matter which one as long as it behaves properly for the mechanic it uses.
What would be interesting to see bullet drop on the human Sniper Rifle. Make the Beam act like the old Human Sniper rifle colored purple, and now you have two notably distinct snippers

I love domination and I think it's an awesome gametype. I wish Dominion was less of a clusterfuck of power weapons and vehicles.
Edit: I think part of the reason CoD is so boring to watch is because it's really all the same and isn't that impressive. Anyone can spray a few guys down as they round a corner. Not many people can juggle the flag and end up with an overkill exterm.

Yes it is.
He is not bad. He at least try's and he also gives out some interesting information.
Ha yeah he is a good review of what we know.

There is no skill to the game anymore. It stopped after mw2. Halo is always fun to watch if the players are really good. You always can learn a trick or two.

Oh yea you should totally go win that prize money then.
Get the fuck outta here with that no skill shit. These guys are amazing.

I know ...
Maybe I should. The game is very repetitive. Everyone dies very easily. You don't need a skill to aim with the guns in this game. The weapon mechanic is a joke. Camping; enough said.
Would there really be enough space on most Halo maps for bullet drop to even be an issue?
Can someone try encoding this xml file with KSoft? mine stopped working

Can't be done, since Stockpile(and the Stockpile scoring method) isn't in Halo 4.

On Halo maps? No. On Halo 4 maps? Absolutely. Sprint, being a native ability has irrecoverably made Halo maps much bigger.

I replaced Reach's action IDs with their H4 equivalents as Kornman told me, are you sure about that?
If so that's a pity

If race can be done and Assault is being worked on, I can believe Stockpile will work lol

Well, it would probably require coding instead of just editing the one from Reach.

Yeah im also interested in this.
Spartacus was free last week and I know we are expecting some more free XBLA games too like Poker on top of the other free games right?
All we know so far are AC2 and Halo 3. I'm guessing they'll announce the next two halfway through this upcoming month. I'm still confused on why they never mentioned Fable 3 being the first game.
Spartacus is a Free to Play game like Happy Wars, it wasn't made free for the program
Halo fans have been getting fucked pretty bad lately.Saw this at the bookstore today.
I'm on now.
So some members of 343 participated in a gay pride festival apparently.
Good job 343.
Wouldn't mind seeing a homosexual character in future Halo games.
Or just retcon someone, I guess.
Shoot me a message "IHaveAnIce" playing all kinds of stuff.
Exwife will also get on in a couple of minutes I think
edit: lol just played minislayer for the first time. This is fun!

This. Could be fun imo, I had two planned for Halysis (rip).
Knowing 343 they'll fuck it up somehow though.
CoD MLG or general MLG today?
I'll start on my Lasky x MC fanfic right away!

It does which is why I dont understand why its not loading. It plays the ad and then just shows the background image they have setup.

Try direct link? If not, does your work block it maybe?

Of course, replace with the right addy if not Starcraft.

I wouldn't doubt they block it, yea that link still just plays the ad then shows the background image as if they were not streaming.

So much for Halo 3 being released soon... 343 probably complained after learning of it because imagine if Halo 3 goes ahead of Halo 4 in terms of people playing on XBL.
It's just like Microsoft too. Announce Assassins Creed 2 and Halo 3 as the first games and then give some shitty XBLA game and then say eventually we'll give Halo 3 and AssCreed 2.
