Halo: Reach |OT6| There Are Those Who Said This Day Would Never Come

I just caught this week's Halo Bulletin and the new Anniversary video. When are they planning on adding bullet decals back in? That whole video consisted of shooting surfaces that don't give any indication that they've just been shot - are they really going to overlook Halo's simple but well executed system for fixing that? Blood was done the same way in Halo 1 (with decals), so I have to hope this is something they're working on and just haven't tied in to the builds they're showing off... right?

The only way zero bloom can work without breaking the Reach sandbox is to lock the pistol and DMR's ROF to the no-bloom ROF. Don't know why they just didn't do it that way, would have made more sense, and they broke LAN compatibility anyway so you might as well change client-side attributes like that.

That would be terrible, slow kill times are so bad. Pistol needs a slower rate of fire, but the DMR is fine.

This.

Hell I wouldn't mind keeping the DMR zero bloom and pistol 85%

As far as damage bleed through, you shouldn't be able to kill a shielded opponent with one DMR shot. It made sense with a burst gun, but we need a clear indicator if we or another player is one shot.

As far as melee bleedthrough, keep it. Just fix that silly little glitch.

I think its more that Halo 3 fed that information through to the player. With Reach as it was never something that was supposed to ever happen the visual cues just dont exist. Its probably out of the scope of TU's but if they could throw in the visual cues bleedthrough really would be so much better than no bleedthrough.

Ug, sorry to hear that. I hate this feeling of inevitability. I'm not miserable yet, but my throat is letting me know I'm going to be real soon, no matter what.

No! I can't be sick for a week. That must've been annoying.

Holy shit. While this doesn't make any sense, and of course this wasn't intentional, this is my first time seeing how the health and shields behave with the DMR and bleedthrough. I finally understand it better, but I didn't know one shot and a beatdown brought you into red health territory. How does that compare to Halo 3 and the BR? Was it two bursts and a beat down to kill you? Three?

I'm glad my throat isn't hurting (not yet at least). There's no other symptom of being sick that I hate more than my throat hurting. It's horrible. Every time you swallow, eat, drink...ugh.

Same. Suck it germs! On the other hand it makes them worse while they last...

Once I even went from having symptoms to feeling perfectly healthy over the course of a minute. True story, I kid you not.

Hurray for unrelated discussion!

Happy birthday! There's nothing new that you can do at 19, so do a repeat of the 18th birthday: Go out and buy yourself a porn mag, a few cigars and a stack of scratch-off tickets.

No clue. Also BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. CE has bad AI? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It's the same AI that it had 10 years ago and that got so much praise. How goddamn stupid. I wonder if this site/magazine said the same thing 10 years ago.

Who would? The bullet instantly travels to max distance, and I can't be arsed to look but it's probably near the same distance the DMR bullet travels.

On Asylum Zero Bloom you can pistolkill someone from snipe to snipe fairly fast, even out of red reticule range.

The only way zero bloom can work without breaking the Reach sandbox is to lock the pistol and DMR's ROF to the no-bloom ROF. Don't know why they just didn't do it that way, would have made more sense, and they broke LAN compatibility anyway so you might as well change client-side attributes like that.

Well if Asylum was a proper remake, sniper to sniper wouldn't line up.

Not at all arguing against your point, just thought it was a good chance to rip Asylum some more.

If Asylum was a proper remake, it wouldn't be compressed into too small a space, a monotonous grey, filled with frame-rate issues, and it would actually be a good map.

He don't mention Online etc. Quick translation: This time even with coop!

I don't blame them, Halo is always treated as the second lamb here in Germany compared to CoD. :)

I have cold and I have to write three papers. One on Hindu law, which I find really intresting.

But the downside is, less Halo in my life :(

Good news Booshka. After the event, Ogre 2 might stream some Shadowrun, CE, or Halo 2.

Hopefully they get first so he will be relaxed enough to not only play Reach. I played SR with Ogre 2 a couple years ago, he still had a good shot, other mechanics were a little rusty but he was still good and it was fun.

Maybe they're referring to the enemies as AI and they're not into the whole little cute silly aliens running around with their arms in the air thing.
