I don't get the idea that the Boltshot is a zero skill weapon. That'll drive plenty of people away from it.

Oh I never said its a zero skill weapon. Just that compared to the human pistol it seems a lot better. Why would anyone pick the Human Pistol over it?

The boltshot will still take a lot of skill to use, but for a skilled player it seems more beneficial than the human pistol does.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Its pretty fun actually, and very easy to do

My friend and I farmed eachother for Generals this summer, 40 min = max points,
He farmed me, Then me him, etc, etc

 

[squidhands]

It just occured to me that the Boltshot is basically the Mauler and Spiker in one. Only it can do headshots, or disintegrate dudes. Which is kind of awesome.

All of the new weapons seem pretty great, the Light Rifle in particular. I really like the idea of bringing more dual-fire-mode weapons to the game.

One of my mates talks like this, didn't know any chav talk before, now I know their whole dictionary. -.-

Well I do live in Essex, so chav talk is necessary here for people to understand you.

I totally agree with you- but you were asking why anyone would go with the magnum, and what I was saying was that the skill curve on the boltshot may drive some people away from it.

Not people like us, though. I can't wait to try it out. I'm planning on it being my go-to secondary on non-vehicle maps.

Wow, that announcer is way worse than Halo 4's. It's not even the voice, really but the radio clicks at the beginning and end of each announcement is just super irritating. The fact that he won't shut up for more than three seconds doesn't help, either.

nothings wrong with a casual hetero brofarm.

So the DMR has less bloom/aim assist from Halo Reach according to the Sparkcast

Sorry I totally misread your post!

I agree to an extent, but without bloom its potentially less frustrating to use even for 'noobs'. It just seems like an all round more effective gun.

Not that I mind that

The radio click sounds make it even worse. Suddenly I'm grateful we're getting nervous Steitzer.

Shoot the DMR in Reach once and whatever the bloom was is what max bloom is on the DMR in Halo 4.

Smh Cod ripping off Halo.

You might get a kick out of this move by the way:

The concept seems a bit behind the times, the whole urban thing feels like its passed - but I kind of know people who made it so im interested in seeing how it turns out - script was hilarious, but cheesy lol.

Not to mention the Boltshot actually looks easier to use than the Magnum anyway lol

I wouldn't mind that, either! Magnum looks like hot garbage from what I've seen.

I'm looking forward to having both. DMR for bigger maps like Exile and Ragnarok, and BR on maps like Haven and Adrift.

Something that irritates me in the BlOps2 video that Cyren linked is how he is firing a fully auto gun with 0 kickback. Also the spawns on that map have to be horrid.

I agree blud.

Besides when I do type proper english my phone autocorrects it to something stupid anyway.

This is true.

[The Librarian]

• They have introduced a hybrid Halo 3/Reach vehicle health system.

What does this mean? Did they explain it in the podcast?

They started to explain it and then it seemed like they got sidetracked lol.

I still dont think they explained the 5 shot kill thing that well.

This is true.

Oh yeah that was amazing!

Everyone at the end of MLG Dallas will be using Light Rifle by the end of the weekend.

 

[dmg04]

BUNGLE still has a chance

Gotta disable headshots in the gametype settings, though

That's been my guess.. That 4 shot and not being pinged out of scope ;]

Shush, Leon.

Wait... how did you actually know my name, it doesn't say on my profile...
I'm scared...

I thought they said there was recoil?

They started to explain it and then it seemed like they got sidetracked lol.

I still dont think they explained the 5 shot kill thing that well.

They said they started with it at 4sk, and then after testing thought it was too fast/lethal, so they changed them to 5sk.

Bobs' are you Leon?

Nuoh my gawd... that's like 10 minutes away from me. Still doesn't explain how he knew my name though lol

 

[Akai__]

Halo Wars General is my last Halo achievment I need. Luckily, it takes only 23 minutes to boost 1 round with max points. I hit Brigadier yesterday, so only 480.000 points to go or ~13 matches. My partner needs the same amount of points, so basically ~26 matches.

Don't know, why you need 960.000 points to get General. If you don't boost, it's like over 300 games, with an average of 3000 points, that you have to play.

Happy Birthday Heckfu. May the beard be with you.

[too much eslim]

So without playing the game. I know my load out will be
primary: Light Rifle
secondary: Boltshot
AA: Thruster
The other mods will be based off game type.
What does everybody else intend on using?

BR, Pistol, Frags, PromVision, Stability, Shielding.

All day, every day.

I'm not exactly sure what you are expecting them to explain.

'It felt like you died too fast, you'd melt instantly under any sort of teamshot, so we changed it.'

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Everyone at the end of MLG Dallas will be using Light Rifle by the end of the weekend.

Level 50 unlockable, surely. 4 shot scope with the fastest kill time, no unscope when being hit.

 

[kittens]

BR, Pistol, Frags, PromVision, Stability, Shielding.

I get the other choices, but why the pistol?

Smaller maps:
BR
Boltshot
Thruster
Plasma Nades

Larger (vehicular) maps:
DMR
Plasma Pistol
Regen
Pulse Grenades

I'm going to have to toy with the armor enhancements some to get a feel for those before I can decide which ones to use.

oh yeah forgot i can choose grenade type. plasmas all day. will have sticks for days.

I really hope that's not their main reasoning for it even though it probably is.. When people say that I usually just bring up Halo 1, so here it is :]

[Demoncarnotaur]

What does this mean? Did they explain it in the podcast?

I can't be sure, but it seems they were implying that the vehicle would eventually go back to 100% health? But its health was still separate from the player health.. or something.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

They talked about if a Warthog got below 75% health, it could only recharge up to 75%. Once the first 25% has been depleted, it's gone.
