More loots:
Is there a thread where the E3 awards are being discussed? Such a thread might be relevant to my interests.
Well you would try to hit a long range shot without scoping but most of the time I would probably just sprint away. It's not the same.
And it's not, "Congratulations, you can do it" it's "Congratulations, that's a common strategy in the game"
You try to knock him out of scope and if you fail you try to escape.
More layers are not better. Not only that, it's not adding skill, it's getting in the way of your skill at shooting and aiming by taking your ability to do so effectively away.
No it would not be worse with no descope, because with de-scope you have to find the person, zoom in, and shoot back, but you can't do that between DMR shots.

I dunno, I can create one if you'd like.

Wait, so it doesn't take skill to descope someone who got the jump on you? Yeah, okay.
My BPR's at 90, but I haven't touched Reach in at least a couple of months.
No you can't, because you have to go through this extraneous mechanic first.

He won that battle because he was able to de-scope the opposing player and get back into it. If you could not do that, the guy would have still been scoped in and killed him.
What? Quick scoping between shots has been apart of Halo for years.

BPR is 74. Better than I thought!
Also, K/D is 1.29. That's pretty much my average thoughout all Halo games.

Because being at range suddenly means you can't just strafe and outshoot, right?
If I couldn't do that I wouldn't have challenged. I would have dropped off the ledge to safety.
Once again, I have.
Only if you want to. Halo 4 has gotten a good reaction pretty much everywhere, but threads with Halo in them tend to get, um, interesting quickly. I was just curious how GAF was responding to that wall of win.
Well I don't care if you have or not. You shouldn't have to.
My BPR is 72
Mine is 50.

Told you guys it was accurate.

My god HaloGAF is embarassing.
Remember the time you guys lost to Bungie?

Oddly, i think the couple of Halo 4 threads existing due to E3 haven't had as stupid people as gaming Halo threads normally have.
Guess Halo 4 impressed people, even those who don't particularly care about Halo?
Dat Banshee.
Yeah, it's gotten a very warm reception. I think 343 surpassed most reasonable expectations, and quite a few unreasonable ones.
So you're saying we should have to try to fight back a guy long range without zooming in? I'm just trying to understand what exactly your argument is
The DMR wasn't in the game before Reach.
No such thread has been made, well ok there has been an outrage thread about the awards.

Is there any reason as to why it doesn't add skill other than you not liking it? Coping with the way the scoping works is nearly the entirety of long range fights.
I'm talking BR as well, obviously.
No, I'm saying you shouldn't have to constantly hammer the stick and just be able to stay in scope and outshoot them.

I think I'm done with this pointless argument. We're all arguing against one person who clearly will never change his view on the matter. If it turns out in game that the de-scoping mechanic has changed from getting shot once to getting shot twice, so be it. I'll adapt, it's not like I can sway 343i's opinion. This game is heading in a more casual direction; perhaps it's for the best.
He doesn't like that when he gets de-scoped on Hemorrhage/other large maps, he cannot effectively do anything due to the other guy still having a scope and de-scoping another across the map without scope is nearly impossible. With DMR, on Reach.
Right?
It is fucking awful... but then the map should not be in Reach, proper map desing removes this issue. Or at least lessen it.
EDIT gah, once again getting drawn in an argument. Must resist...
So you want it to be easier?

BPR 100, KD 2.24. But then I don't play much hardcore stuff, and I suck at MLG.
The BR doesn't have enough range to make this a problem. If you had to use the scope on the BR, you weren't going to hit much anyway, and you could effectively hit at that range without scope. With the DMR, you can't effectively shoot without scope at ranges that the scope allows people to shoot you at.
I said this exact thing yesterday when he raged on descoping.
So scope was useless on the BR? lol ok bro

...where do the sparks come out of if you use your Thruster to go backwards?
I thought he died. Like, seriously.
He wants to be able to scope in without having to worry about being knocked out of scope, but doesn't seem to realize that the guy who he's trying to fight back against is also going to be scoped in and is probably going to have the first two shots before you're scoped in and shooting back, which to me seems like it'd create an even bigger disadvantage then there is with descoping in.

The range on the BR wasn't even close to that of the DMR. If you were getting shot by a BR, you didn't have to scope in to shoot back because you couldn't cross map with the BR like you can with the DMR. The fucking DMR is a mini sniper rifle with the added bonus of not having the same accuracy at range out of scope as in scope due to magnetism. You HAVE to scope in to shoot at range.
