I watched the video I think about a week ago or so, and it didn't sway my opinion much at all. Sure, it could help the aspirational machinima maker, but at the same time ruin the online gaming portion. (Button combos ~ BXR) It has no direct effect on gameplay at all, and not really even an indirect effect either. The only ones who benefit are the machinima makers. Even still, if you were able to lower your guns on Xbox LIVE, wouldn't that lead to even more demands in an endless cycle? My point is, it's not needed nor really demanded either. I've only seen a select few request it, and the forum community doesn't make up more than a fourth (possibly an eighth or even a sixteenth) of the online community. The small number who do not play that day could be considered the same as "They're busy with homework," "I guess they're at work"..... and so on. All strictly my opinion, and I base most of it upon opinion with some theory.
How the hell does pressing LB+RB+A+crouch+down on the Dpad gonna substitute for a BxR combo, seriously. I keep hearing that from alot of people, it really makes no ****ing sense to me how lowering your weapon like that will do noobs and cheaters any good.
No apparently a glitch like that could slip through... i'm not sure i don't understand programming very well. but somebody does and their convinced such a glitch could be allowed in (accidentally of course) if they added in the lower the guns.
Well until said person actually proves that it can glitch the game somehow, I demand to lower my god dang gun down god dang it!!! besides, if it were possible, im sure someone would have found out how to do it on a Local Halo 3 game with 4 people or something, no?
You only challenged one of the points I presented. The reason it's so believed that it could create issues is the fact it involves animation frames. If you can shorten your animation frames, you can perform more actions in less time. As an example, if you jump as you're firing a Spartan Laser, you may also throw a grenade at the very same time. Example. You can't do that normally, but you can skip the animation frame and do it anyways because you were jumping. To your second sentence, the reason no one has really attempted to find a glitch just shows how little people care (or even know of the button combo). If there's no benefit in being able to abuse something, the reason to develop such abuse is not prioritized.
howabout this though: lowering isn't in MM, just customs. Then cheating wont be any problem at all. If somebody finds a way to cheat with it, then the PL boots em, and if they are the party leader, you leave without penalty.
oooh, this would actually be sooooo freaking awesome in cops and robbers, god if bungie would just let us do it in a costum game, so theirs no way to glitch online or any other thread then this wouldn't be such a problem for bungie.
I totally support this cause, espcially because I am starting to fool around with making machinimas, and also becasue I am in an RP group on halo. No Halo 3 for me on sept. 25 and by the way cookieking, we have over 4000 members and growing,.
