It would be interesting to have a toggle to fit specific roles and have both functions. Given the controversy that surrounds the individual weapons, I would not envy the development team that takes on that task.

Most weapon sounds in H3 were pretty lame. I mean, that AR sound, what the fuck.
Halo 3's guns where made of plastic and sounded like toys.

now see I was gonna say "the range on the DMR sucks ass and dissuades 2/3rds of the Halo Triangle of Combat" but then giant copy pasta

Never said the DMR is the final solution, just that single-fire is much more preferred to burst. MUCH.
Skimmed Ghal's post because I'm playing, but I don't think it addresses this.
Yea, Ghaleon summed up the way I feel pretty well. Some kind of spread is preferable in large maps so you don't get cross-mapped constantly; H3 BR with hitscan would be my preference, maybe slightly smaller spread.
Well, with their new sound director, they are going to redo all of the sounds anyway, and if CEA is any indication, they will be excellent.
It also looks better because the texture fidelity in Reach seems generally much better in Reach. I'm sure an updated BR would look similar to the detail that the DMR currently has.
Yea, I want this back in H4. I feel like looking around and aiming is much easier (and not talking about the assist either).

H2 doesn't have aim acceleration (or very little). It makes aiming feel so smooth compared to H3 and Reach.
Bolded so so much.

Single shot, hitscan and sans bloom.
Thanks.

Oh, I have not idea where Viewtiful got that from. I was just hassling Devo for having a life and not posting recently.
Halo 3 BR with Reach netcode and hitscan please.
The burst fire is used in the BR to limit the effective combat range. I quoted all that to facetiously make a point, but the thesis running through it all is that the shorter effective range on the BR (and Halo 1 pistol) is a critical enabling factor for the rest of the combat sandbox, in both Multiplayer and Campaign contexts.
Assuming we land on some level of agreement on that topic, there's a splinter discussion to be had about the best way to limit that range. Personally, I think the Reach DMR, with a 2x zoom (instead of 3x), a locked and slightly moderated firing rate with no bloom would be a pretty great weapon.

If Halo 3 had hitscan that game would have been 10x better. Halo 4 with the Halo 2 BR.
Also am I the only one who thought Halo 3 Beta > Retail?

OMG VIP Valhalla. Just the mere mention of the name causes my hands to tremble in fear, like seeing a former child abuser walking the streets. He can hurt you anymore, but goddamn it still stings.
It played and looked better (well the armor did) also I miss actually having the carbine be good

Remember when people figured out how to glitch into customs in the Beta? So much fun.
Hacked 360s can boot into games of slayer but they have to go around the main menu and you can't get a second player to join. Basically it boots you directly into the map by yourself. Then again, I am sure there is some way to force it into a lobby. I know a guy who I am sure has figured that out.It played and looked better (well the armor did) also I miss actually having the carbine be good

Hitscan is an outdated relic from old idtech engines.

You know there's no point to holding onto it right? You can freely redownload it from Xbox Live. If you wanted to be able to do anything like view your beta films, you'd have to mod your 360 and end up with it banned anyway. Almost minimal to no chance of it even being randomly turned on, it'd require spinning up stuff that can't be spun up anymore without tracking down all the Bungie employees that were in charge of running the beta.

He would have to have an old 360 that hadn't been online before or shortly after the NXE update.
Edit: All of this talk of modded Xbox and betas makes me wonder about the people who have the Halo 2 Beta. I'm sure that is not legal...

Of course not. When we talk about H4BR we imagine a perfect BR with hitscan, small spread, etc
Nice avatar choice Barlow, I remember using that one for a short while back in the day.
You can tell it's been sent to the ass-end of the Microsoft server farm, but it's still up there.

I meant in order to mod it to watch the films. hahaha
Did anyone ever bother to do that to it, anyway? AFIAK only the Reach beta was modded to have a loader to get into the maps, I never remember that happening for the 3 one.

Those are the same.
If you're talking about during the Reach beta, that's because of the custom games glitch with the Halo 3 Beta. However, I'm pretty sure a few people had modded the Halo 3 Beta after it was over in order to continue playing.
Why must you lie?
Man, I still remember leaving the 360 on overnight so people could join me and get the Customs lobby for themselves. Good times, although it probably screwed with Bungie's telemetry

Agreed. Give us the option to turn off aim acceleration or to tone it down. Get rid of movement acceleration. I want my strafing back!

Aim acceleration is so finicky. Has to be either perfect or non-existent. Gears 3's was great imo.

Hoooooly crap. I don't think I've ever seen the Halo 2 OT. Why was it so short lived? Was GAF just small at the time, or were OTs not really in fashion, or...? There's some names in that thread that I totally forgot about. And some people who I didn't realize have been on GAF for so long. Man, it's moments like these when I realize how big a role GAF has played in my consumption and perception of gaming over the past six years.
Haha, I was thinking the same thing.
