Really though, I HATE and completely despise this peice of **** called the DMR. It's unsmooth and the hitscan is crap too. And then there's the abnormal bloom and in CQC it's mostly ''spam the trigger and hope you're lucky enough that the bloom gets you a headshot'' and the range is too damn high! I'm not very good at explaining why but the BR is simply much smoother.
The BR can, in no way, be described as a "smoother" weapon. Why? Because nothing about it seemed to make sense. The hit detection and netcode of Halo 3 sucked horribly, the recoil felt unpredictable and even when leading shots it felt entirely inconsistent. You may like it more as a weapon because you can get lucky and spray people to death, but the DMR will always be an equally if not more skillful weapon and overall be much "smoother" than the BR. Period.
Changed from my perspective. It could have to do with my bad connection and that Halo 3 could handle it better or something. Cause all those things you said about the BR sound like DMR to me.
I can't believe its taken me 5 minutes to realise that this "leaked" stuff is a fake. On one of the "scans" I found the grenade was on the other side. I'm not going to link to it incase a mod deems it to be "leaked" content, but if you say it is OK, I will happilly post it.
Thank god that vid sure sounded convincing I pray to good that it is fake because if its not then I would not be certian to buy it all in due time I guess. But if it is true and forge is better do u guys think it would be cool to make forge maps in halo 4 and be able to Play them in reach??? Not sure if it's possible though... I doubt it. But if so you could bring invasion because I doubt there WILL be invasion due to no elites in multiplayer Anyways if this is fake the guy who posted it is going to get a lot of hate. [br][/br]Edited by merge: He made a password for that well all the more likely that it is fake.
Invasion is still extremely possible without Elites and respawn times. Besides, X to respawn will be a gametype settings option.
Where did you read that it will be a gametype option? And well you're correct it's just going to be weird if they do implement it.
Ok, I've done a quick search of the internets and there is a proper scan of the magazine in. No changed bits. Here is what I can say I believe to be true from looking at these: - Multiplayer in now called "infinity" named after the UNSC infinity. It ties in with the sotry because it's a war ship that goes about the galaxy, and spartans train there, and occasionally passes chief. Sounds pretty bad to me - Spartan points are real - Unlocking weapons throughout the game is real (as gameinformer sadly puts; similar to Call of Duty and Battlefield); that right there has pretty much killed halo. Everybody starts equal. Where's the emphasis on weapon placement and map design? - Firefight is out - Spartan Ops is real. - Cortana actually looks pretty cool - Covenant do seem as if they will be an enemy - No elites in multiplayer (to coincide with the infinity BS) - DMR looks like ****. - Spartan Ops is not DLC
Covenant will not be a enemy As Frankie puts "covenant will be returning but they will be the least of your worries"
); Bye bye Halo. We had a great time together nonetheless. EDIT: Ah **** I know I'm gonna buy this **** anyways like the sheep I am. Darn this is really becoming like COD.
while I believe that they'll be npc allies a la marines, it doesn't rule out that they might be "minor" enemies like the flood were in halo 1, probably even supports it.
Well initially there is a fight with covvys. And then a huge covvy fleet. May be rogues, we dunno. Honestly, they have given up on classic halo multiplayer. Absolutely stupid. People start with the same weapons, and find them. It's about looking around the map. I'm disgusted that 343 would "modernise" (codify) halo. Sprint is also default, and this forerunner vision crap exists FYI Karma - Take that off. Also, you should see what they are saying in the halo subsection
Here are a few more AWFUL points - Press X to spawn (no respawn timer) - Customizable load-outs and unlocks - Random weapon spawns (so long, competitive forging) - No firefight I'm peeved. Totally truely peeved. They were forever going on (and are still) about how important to halo the multiplayer is. Why did they just make it a cod ripoff? Honestly, I think they are trying to sell out to cover some pretty large production expenses. Bungie would have had their testicles ripped off with hot irons before this.
Why wouldn't it be? Every game since Halo 2 has has customisable spawning settings, and as far as Invasion is concerned, the more change the merrier.
This isn't even rose tinted glasses, you've literally just got a brick wall in front of your eyes and so are making up what Halo 3 was like. Halo 3 net code was atrocious, even in good connection games there'd be dropped shots and people would jitter about in movement terms from time to time. The spread was unreliable, simple as. The Reach net code is far superior to both H3 and H2 in objective, factual terms. The DMR registers better, it just does, and is much more reliable even with 85% bloom (I'd personally take the 100% bloom DMR over the H3 BR but I know a lot of people disagree with me there). Try some ZB Slayer to try and eliminate the effect that bloom is having on your perception, then tell me whether you actually think that H3 had better hit detection. I don't know what you're talking about with H3 handling your bad connection better, H3 was worse with a good connection and worse with a bad connection. Perhaps you're playing with a potato instead of a router, but you are pretty much the only person I've ever met who tried to argue the technical superiority of Halo 3 in terms of shot registration and net code etc. EDIT: Reading through these scans is a genuinely painful experience. @Frankie: You misspelled "I hate Halo and want it to die" like 10 times.
I was encouraged by the start of the scans. But then I died when they started on multiplayer. It sounded worse than an april fools day joke. It's so full of Deux Ex Machina it's dire.
If it all goes to ****, hopefully they realize that custom games are they way to go for a more "Halo" experience, and allow us to customize the settings as we se fit.
