i'm sure my pro AR spam skills will take care of anyone trying to press RBXYYBRYYXBRYRB or whatever the hell that nonsense was, lol. have fun with that, whoever does that, hahahahaha.
Yeah, for a button glitch, that was kind of crazy and not-useful-seeming. I dunno if you were serious about the AR, but is anybody else actually using the two primaries perk? I've been experimenting with it after getting bored of boltshotsploitation, and finding it pretty useful, particularly on certain maps. The AR/DMR combo can be very potent. Interestingly, I've started having a lot of luck with it on Adrift - in those tunnels a lot of people can only function at either point blank range or very far away, so I like to bait them into thinking a free boltshot kill is coming, then back up quickly and exploit my greater midrange power to take them down. It's also a great combination for flag defense on that map, where the boltshot is less useful (unless you're camping one of the doorways).
@Nut: I find the Carbine/AR combo very useful on smaller maps, namely Adrift, Haven and Abandon. The AR is an absolute monster up-close, and the Carbine gives me the extended mid-range functionality to back it up. Throw in Dex/Explosives and Hardlight to counter Boltshots (it's so incredibly satisfying when people kill themselves with the reflected burst) and you have one sweet loadout.
o_o I didn't realize people could kill themselves with the BS off the hardlight shield like that. I am totally going to try to make that happen soon. Considering how many people lean on that thing, it shouldn't take too long.
I shot a rocket at a Hardlight shield dude, the rocket deflected, traveled 15 feet right into Titmar's face. Lulz upon lulz upon lulz were had.
Nope, it was posted when people first found out that they could get the maps for free. The whole "it wasn't a mistake" BS happened the next day.
im so glad they ****ed up, since now we all know that Harvest is the only decent map in the pack. on top of that, they refuse to admit to an obvious **** up. no thank you.
Has there been even the slightest hint from 343 yet about new gametypes being added? I'm starting to come up with minigame ideas but the lack of insane, rocket race, and simple customization options in some of the stock gametypes like infection has tied my hands behind my back.
Yes, they've hinted at Race being added. Don't ask me for a source, cause I've no idea where I read that, but its a thing. It came from a notable employee or two.
Hmm.. Does anyone know if after losing the 14 day DLC, you can access the maps while offline? I'm thinking about just forging a mini-Harvest.
Happened to me yesterday.... It was a team mate's hard light shield as well. Sitting in top mid corridor on Exile, enemy coming up one of the ramps and a team mate puts up their hard light as they're getting rushed. I charge up my BS and get the kill on the charging enemy, but some of the burst must have caught the inside edge of my team mate's hard light and smacked me in the face because I also got a suicide.
It's also amazing vs rockets, They think they have a instant kill but you hardlight for split second potentially suiciding them unshield they shoot again then you just hardlight for split second again(have more charge left over then AL) they have to reload or swap weapons and you kill them during that time or run (since you can move while shielding to prepare you plans) Pretty good vs DMR to imo in medium range shield lasts fairly long while you are walking towards your team or behind cover while your team can sprint to you with instant respawns. Also can surive walking across most open areas where DMR normally would kill you, Sprint then Jump/Face enemy/Hardlight walk direction behind cover with sprint as backup if you didn't quite make it. It seems to me like hardlight has a half cylinder kinda shape to it, in regards to how things reflect off it or it might be random would be cool if we could reflect the rockets back to them with enough skill.
Today I played my first game of Halo 4. It was terrible because I was stuck in the grifball arena on Erosion while my family fought each other. My true first game was a local FFA on Haven. My 2 cousins, my half drunk uncle, and I faced each other. I didn't have time to fix my class so I had to go without perks or an AA. But I still kicked their asses with the carbine only. A few times I picked up the sticky and scattershot and got 2 killing frenzies. I won 60-30 with a 2.0 kd. The funny thing is is that I hadn't played halo for a few months and they have been playing it since November 6th. It was also the most fun I've had in a few months. Tomorrow we plan to have a 6 player FFA with my uncle, sister, brother, and mom.
One noteworthy thing to be said by me. CASTLE MAPPACK better have a freaking forgeworld, Crimson was ehh wtf Harvest is good, Boltshot is bs overpower, good idea with the hardlight sheild didn't think of that, also yes it should be able to reflect rockets it may need to be updated for that though my experience it just blows you to hell, although the Rail gun won't??? ok rail gun way stronger than rocket or it should be its kinda wussed up in comparison it took me 3 shots to kill a mantis really ???? wtf 343 its a Rail gun all know concepts we actually have today are crazy strong.
And the award for most coked-up post of 2012 goes to...... But yeah, the Crimson is pretty underwhelming. I think another forge map is pretty much out of the question, since we already have 3. I think the most important thing is getting at least a couple of forge maps in to MM. I know, FR issues yada yada yada. I play enough BTB to know that these FR issues are bad enough on default maps. It's not a good enough reason imo, and Relay is fine if you ask me. We need better 4v4 provision, and forge maps are pretty much the only option at this stage, plus I'm not a huge fan of the design direction for Halo 4 maps in general, so diversifying map sources is a good idea if you ask me.
