Yeah the FOV and feeling like you're fighting the controller make it pretty much unplayable for me after playing Reach.

The turn/aiming was so terrible, and not just for using handguns. It made maneuvering around in the Warthog so painful and difficult.

The Battle Rifle pushing the damn 'Hog around in Standoff didn't help, either.

Halo 3 Laser>Reach Laser.
I loved the Spartan Laser for being different. It felt like it was powerful prototype weapon, something unique and rare in UNSC arsenal. In Reach... well, it lacks the feel. Hell, it ain't powerful in game

You mean despite the humongous blast radius and getting more shots? It was terrible and ruined every vehicle combat scenario. Then again since they such an OP chaingun on that 'Hog, it was the best viable anti-vehicular measure. That's why you found it on every vehicle oriented map (lol Rat's Nest).

...it is nigh useless in campaign.

Which means it had no business in the game, period.

 

[neoism]

guys are we saying here for E3 or making a new thread.... I say we stay here and make a thread for gaming site... neogaf at e3 time is awesome.

 

[Shadders]

I like it...looks meaty.

I bet it sounds incredible.

WHABANG.

Just a louder, heavier version of this, please.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

WHABANG.

Im thinking a guass hog noise on steroid.

THUNG!

There will be a few threads on the Gaming Section. New threads for new news etc but of course folks will stay here to chat about it in addition to whatever new threads pop up.

Unless Evilore decides to close the community boards like he does with the Off-Topic section during the event. Then it will be Gaming side only.

And the HaloGAF Chatroom on ForwardUntoDawn.

I'm talking about campaign for both games, not multiplayer. And Rat's Nest didn't have the laser.
Halo 3 version had more shots than Reach version.

No, no, no.

This is what it should sound like, period.

I was thinking more like a quick warming up noise, then the pay load and then a sort of crackle as it cools down so:

Saw this and thought it was a pretty good deal, didn't know where else to post it

Preorder Halo 4 from Microsoft and get a 25 dollar gift card (aka free MS points)

The Gauss hog has always sounded weak. Needs more visual feedback too.

Hire Over

Hire Over

But then no game would ever release.

Good Enough™

Gauss is impossibly overpowered. It's an interesting concept but it's beyond game breaking in practice. Non-lock on, fixed firing rate rocket hog would be a decent replacement.

No game > shitty game that scars people for the rest of their lives.

 

[TheOddOne]

Food for thought: Halo 1 & Gears 1 multi both were on the verge of being cut because the developers hated it. Glad it didn't happen.

I can see a place for both, weaker gauss hog 1 shot on personnel more to destroy vehicles.
Rocket hog with lock on but weaker rockets large impact radius.
Chain hog.

Vehicles need to feel powerful like they can take a beating and still carry on, at the same time they cant be unbeatable sticking one should either destroy it or have it very critical. Sticking a warthog in reach has zero effect the majority of the time.

Your shit thats why

His shit?

 

[TCKaos]

Just bring back the CE Rocket Hog.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

His shit?

Yes.

 

[Woorloog]

Just bring back the CE Rocket Hog.

I'd rather have that than the shit in Reach. Tweaked, of course.

 

[Shadders]

We need a rocket Mongoose.

Proof that game devs have no idea what makes good fps multiplayer. Each successive halo has been a little bit worse than its predecessor. Halo:CE was a smash hit and in come the devs to try and "correct" it for the next game. Durp. Reach is what happens when devs think they've got it right

 

[Woorloog]

Driver should be able to fire his weapon.

 

[squidhands]

NeoGAF affects studying negatively. This is known.

Spoiler

It was a mistake to join this place. For me too.

Same goes for work.

Has anyone here got draw something? I'm playing with Myyke and ACM, would like to add other people.

Username same as my GAF name.

I'm pretty sure I don't want to see a drawing of anything that comes from your mind.

At the very least, it should have been tweaked to have a slower overall speed (tank treads!) to help balance out the baffling power of it's gun. The rocket 'hog seems like a good idea on paper, but driving it with a moron at the gun who shoots 10 feet in front of you is just not a pleasant experience.

 

[Crucio]

Driver should be able to fire his weapon.

There could be two mini turrets mounted on the front of the mongoose for the driver to use.

Yup.

Mini...?
How about dual Scorpion main guns?

EDIT i want a Mammoth Scorpion tank (dual turret mounted cannons) for Halo 4 campaign. Ditch machine guns as secondary weapons, add missile batteries, C&C-style.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I'm pretty sure I don't want to see a drawing of anything that comes from your mind.

Ha, don't worry, I'm not that creative.

Should see me in forge, go in with untapped enthusiasm...leave ten minutes later, without saving, and having one forge piece in the middle of hemorrage.

 

[Rand0m TAG]

how about a laser hog? could be fairly balanced.

 

[daedalius]

HaloDestiny found the OXM Cover artwork in HD:

e-boner, saved, and set as work desktop.

 

[kylej]

By laser you mean like the microwave gun that you find on Powerhouse? Could work.

 

[Tashi]

Got out of work early...what to do, what to do

 

[Rand0m TAG]

I meant h3 laser but the baconator could work

 

[squidhands]

There could be two SMGs taped to the front of the mongoose for the driver to use.

fixed. Hold Y to rip one off and use it while driving with one hand, resulting in a wider turning radius. boom

Ha, don't worry, I'm not that creative.

I can't fault you for that; Forge World has a decidedly non-wonderful way of sucking any enthusiasm right out of you.

That baconator better not come back in Halo 4. I really dislike that gun.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Seems like shopto preorders for Halo 4 LE are very close to selling out.

And amazon.co.uk still don't have it listed.

Neither have any Dutch sites I usually order from. I just tweeted them about it

Same here. I'm still waiting for them to announce the price, too. If it's €100, they can suck it.

 

[789shadow]

Anyone going to be playing Reach tonight?

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Not with you

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

When Halo 4 drops we need to start up HaloGaf community nights again. Maybe on a night when more people are around like Sunday or something.

I haven't played Halo with many of you.

 

[Slightly Live]

Not with you

No need to be a chump.
