I'm sorry, but I'm having a hard time understanding what you are saying, I think you are trying to say that the undersuit is not an undersuit and that the armor is part of it? If so that isn't true.

Well that layer (the colored one)is were the armor is attached in S-IV's armor like you said but it also protect the stomach and softareas like a second armor layer while S-IIIs and S-II armor was attached to the entire suit without that layer hence the space diaper.

That's the longest sub train I've ever seen on Twitch!

Woah, what's the point of being such an asshole?

This is what makes gaming communities seem so fucking awful. There's no point alienating more casual players by being such a dick. It only serves to make the community worse and discourages new players from interacting with the rest of the community.

In short, if you're going to be a dick you can fuck off.

Calling an idea stupid, is called being a jack-ass, and then responding to that is being called a dick?

You are free to interact with the community all you like, and i will continue to call something stupid as I see fit.

The DMR being 3x wouldn't have been so bad if the aim assist wasn't as high as it is/was. I know it's a power weapon, but take the CE or Halo 3 Snipers for example: 10x zoom, 1sk, some of the most difficult weapons to use in Halo. Shit, Snipers spawned as often as every 30 secs on some CE maps, yet you never hear people complaining about how OP they were.

Why is that?

Difficulty to master in a sandbox with other powerful weapons -- the CE/H3 Snipers had much less aim assist than H2/Reach/H4. Another classic example, the CE Magnum: 3sk balanced by its skill curve and faster, more powerful gameplay. In other games it's no different. The Markzka in Gears Judgment was a 3sk, so that weapon was balanced by its aim assist because otherwise it would have dominated the Lancer and Retro Lancer.

It's time for the BR to grow up to a 3sk, tight spread and put on maps as pickups. Spawn us with an AR/Magnum (4sk, functions like CE) and have DMR's around for larger maps as a 3x zoom, on the outskirts (ie: cliffsides on Blood Gulch). Carbine could have a slowdown effect to make it more useful (balanced by its limited range compared to the other rifles) and the Light Rifle can be a power weapon because all Forerunner weapons should be unstoppable and difficult to use.

You guys are confusing a broken weapon with broken aim assist.

The DMR doesn't work because the aim assist is too high, not because the mechanics of the weapon. There's nothing wrong with a weapon being able to cross-map and kill rapidly, the problem arises when it's too easy to do so. The BR is "broken" in the same way due to the aim assist; it's too easy to 4 shot someone.

Neither weapon is mechanically broken, but the excessive aim assits make them broken. The problem is not that the DMR has good range and shoots straight, the problem is that the game has way too much aim assist.

Almost time.

The colored armor attaches to the bodysuit.
I always thought this art work for CEA nailed the body suit.

It looks like the right combination of earthly material and scifi as well as flexible but protective.
I'm also a fan of the gloves looking leathery, Reach did that too.
Also I really wish they would change the waist armor, Reach had the perfect design that got rid of the space diaper but still armored that area.

Loved the CEA armor.

It's not the fact that you called his idea stupid, it's the manner in which you did. The way you disregarded his opinions and the opinions of any others who play Halo 4. The way you decided you can be an asshole because you had deemed him a scrub or a casual.

This sort of attitude closes communities to new players, it prevents outsiders from joining in. We were all new to Halo at one time. There's no point being a dick to casuals as it serves nothing but to hurt the community and make yourself look like an asshole.

Anyway, I'm going to stop discussing this as it isn't exactly relevant to Halo.



(I'm not trying to fight poodles battles for him by the way. It just pisses me off when someone uses the fact that a player is a casual as a free pass to being a dick.)

This is what made people hate the competitive community in the first place. People may be looking for different things in games (whether they're casual players or competitive) but that doesn't mean their opinions aren't valid; and even if they aren't valid, there are more intelligent ways to make your argument than calling people 'scrubs', which makes you sound like an elitist moron.

Also this.

 

[jem0208]

This is something I can agree with.

My biggest problem with 4 is actually the lack of descope. Who thought flinch was a good idea? It's just annoying.

Heard about that. I'm glad the tournaments lately have been good for the pros. Not the prize money, really, but just viewership in general.

 

[User 73706]

I really hope they add blood splatters to your HUD when you take significant damage in Halo 5. Destiny does it and it, along with ADS, don't feel out of place at all. It just seems like a natural extension of visceral emergent gameplay. Gravitas. People should really embrace all of the innovation Call of Duty is bringing to the shooter table.

 

[Woorloog]

Some kind of indicator that your health (not shield) is low would be nice but no red stuff on screen. Seriously. That's just fucking distracting and annoying.
How about a health meter?
EDIT technically all Halos but Halo CE , ODST and Reach have regenerating health too but there is no indicator for it.

Agree. We should get back to our roots and just call everyone a BK.

Gamescom(August 12-17) and PAX(August 29-September 1). Also if their plans are anything like Halo CEA then they might start releasing ViDocs around the end of the month.

Now I want a Kool-Aid Man stealth-brawler FPS where you start out in the suburbs and work your way into a major city sneaking through yards and rooftops before progressively maneuvering along the city skyline setting up "heists" where you bust through a wall / window / etc. of choice to beat the shit out of whatever people are inside. It's basically Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay meets Mirror's Edge, except you're fighting Yakuza.

Goodluck dude, it can get pretty addictive if your any the little bit competitive.

Had to stop for now.

Ran into a bug I haven't triggered before - I killed the Elite at the button at the end of Winter Contingency, ran past.. and got stuck behind an invisible wall. Had to wait for Jorge to kill the sword elite.

The risk when you futz around with loading triggers

Have it made by Sega so we can have characters from Yakuza show up in it and I'll buy it.

ForgeCast Episode 2 via petes the duck

"[In Halo: Reach] I wanted to race Shade Turrets."

Perfect.

 

[m23]

I wonder if they'll have MCC playable at FanExpo Toronto this year. Sunset Overdrive and Forza Horizon 2 are confirmed to be playable there. Previous years have had Halo Reach and Halo 4 playable before release as well.

 

[User 73706]

"[In Halo: Reach] I wanted to race Shade Turrets."

Perfect.

I never understood why the Covenant never rigged up a bulky, Chopper-esque recon vehicle that was essentially the Reach-era Shade turret without the base. It'd just be a wheel-ball thing you drove around while you shot the turrets.

Sounds like a re-skinned chopper. Or halfway between that and this guy:

Side note: Hope that guy gets remastered into MCC.

 

[User 73706]

Wait a second... if H2AMP has vehicles, could we see the Spectre return?

:O

I'd hazard a guess we'll find that out at Gamescom. Or whenever we get Coag gameplay.

 

[m23]

Had a small LAN party yesterday with Halo CE and Halo 3. Hype is off the charts for MCC right now, I also need to practice a bit.

 

[Kibbles]

For the press briefing at gamescom They should have a big all encompassing trailer (in 60fps too) that shows of all the games and allow the multiplayers. Then MP gameplay on the show floor or something.

 

[Mistel]

That would be interesting. I wonder if they do anything with the cut revenant model from 4:

You might want to try a different headshot, and background. This doesn't look natural at all. Just a blurry weird smear. GG though.

Ye when you skip a specific zone on Winter Contingency, in side the satellite station their are two parts where invisible walls can get you stuck. One at the wall behind the first Zealot with the concussion rifle, and then at the end where you hit the button.

 

[Nowise10]

That would be interesting. I wonder if they do anything with the cut revenant model from 4:

Its clear as day that isn't a Revenant, no matter what the game file has it labeled. I honestly bet that is likely what the Spectre would look like in Halo 2 Anniversary if its on any maps.

It's very shark nosed design I think. This shows that is pretty much plays like a Spectre instead of a Revenant.

Damn. I can't wait for MCC but I'm more hyped about being able to play Halo CE at 60fps 1080p on Xbox Live. To me, that's a huge selling point for the game.
