Reposting because I posted it right at the end of the other thread. Currently at the early part in Mission 5 right after you get the air strike, where you have to pass through an area with a couple of Banshees and Phantoms. Haven't gotten anywhere in about 30 minutes, just having a blast trying to shoot down the Banshees with my plasma pistol to skyjack them.

In team engagements you can easily balanced, as you're just throwing out damage. Light rifle is viable too in team on team. 1v1 the DMR superiority obviously shows. But you can still hold your own.

It was the end of the level, I would have to get out of the Banshee to push buttons, and I couldn't backtrack if I tried. I still couldn't get inside the Banshee. You're right, though, it never hurts to try.

I'm continually amazed at the lack of autobalance, or forced team mixing in these games. If they aren't going to provide an option to face similarly composed teams (i.e. not having 4 randoms run into a premade 4-person team) then those are the only real options. At the very least, it should be an actual option.

Well, I've had plenty of time to think the matter over, to get over the initial excitement, to process it all. Mind you, this is from the perspective of someone who is more into campaign and cooperative stuff, not so much a competitive player. I'm disappointed with Halo 4. It did get some things right, like bringing in some more of the lore, showing the Chief as an actual character this time. The visuals are stunning, and with the exceptions of the warthog and plasma pistol, the sound design is amazing. It's nice to see humanity kicking ass for once, and like it or not, the Spartan IV's do seem like the logical next step of the Spartan program. But there is plenty the game got wrong, too. The story has completely jumped the shark, for starters. I've stated before that the part of the story I really enjoy was the human-covenant war, the current day conflict. I preferred it when the Forerunners were this long dead race that we knew almost nothing about. This crap about ancient humans fighting a war with them, our genetics being influenced by the Forerunners, this convoluted backstory....it just doesn't resonate with me at all. Besides that, bringing the Forerunners in as the new badguys is horribly predictable and lazy. The Prometheans just are not fun to fight. Yeah, they fit the Halo enemy formula well enough, but they just...don't have any personality to them. No style. And the same goes for their weaponry, which seems like a standard array of guns, just that they have glowing orange TRON lines.

>>18242554 With the exception of "117", the soundtrack is completely forgettable and lackluster. Hell, just looking at the menu screen, we've gone from a majestic and haunting Gregorian choir to an obnoxious and cliche One Woman Wail. Gag me. The remains of the Covenant look terrible, are a joke to fight, and...why the fuck does it suddenly sound like they are speaking Japanese? The armor designs look like shit. It looks like we've suddenly transitioned from a James Cameron sci-fi military universe to some over-the-top anime crap. Firefight is gone, and in its place is Spartan Ops. We only have one episode so far, so I'll reserve final judgement, but so far...it's seriously below expectations. I was hoping for a co-operative campaign, but what we got is a sub-par firefight in already established maps. Halo 4 is by no means a bad game. Actually, I think it's a rather good game. But in my opinion, it is the worst Halo game to date.

But seriously, the DMR will never really 'feel' right if you're trying to play with it like it's a BR (if that is what you're doing). You need to be more patient when you use it and try to forget what's going on around you and focus on getting the shots right. At least until you've hit no shields, then you need to hide.

One of the downfalls of FFA is that once you start losing it can be pretty tough to get back in the game and this counters it pretty well. I wonder if they'll implement normal FFA with ordnance drops and shit. It'll probably come with the skill rank system update.

The night this game came out, I brought my hard drive to my friend's house and we played for 7 hours straight until we beat it on Legendary. I feel so elated, it had been my first time playing Halo (or any other FPS for that matter) in over 2 years. Skip to today, I buy the game for myself (I'm poor, had to wait a while to scrape money together). I jump into Infinity. I can't describe the feelings I am getting from playing this game. Back in H3, when my friends and I took gaming uber seriously, we had a team and I was the designated Slayer/ Sniper (not to boast, but I was really fucking good.) I finally get the chance to pick up the sniper in H4 and it all comes back to me, the rush from intense gaming. I went 39 / 2 that first game back, with 16 kills coming from the sniper, 15 of them headshots, and an overkill. It's great to be back, boys.

One man in a vehicle near middle and then I just threw myself into the thick of the fight over and over to be as obnoxious and distracting as possible. Then I ended up getting in a banshee. Ended the match 43/11 for my trouble. Utterly dominated them. When my Banshee was nearing death I ditched it for theirs. I played very defensively so it took them forever to whittle me down.

Does anybody else feel the new graphics of Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary don't really "fit"? Sure the original game graphics feel empty when you switch to them, but CEA feels so bright and colorful and happy. You have great looking environments like Valhalla and New Mombasa, then you have the redone CEA graphics, which feel really overdone. Hell the 343 Guilty Spark level feels neon colored and happy the body language and motions of the new cutscenes also feel stilted and either overdone or underdone, especially Cortana, she feels VERY unfinished cutscene-wise

Finally figured something out, so simple. I supposed it would have saved a lot of time if I had just gone through and fought all the enemies, but skipping over everything and just picking off the snipers was more fun. Instead of going left and on to the platform for an immediate lesson in pain and suffering, I took a right to the area at the beginning of the bridge where there was a supply box and a shield. Seemed like a logical place for a checkpoint, and I was right about that.

>>18259680 I'm not a pro, but some things I've found: >Dmr and BR are the only semi-autos I found that were worth using, light rifle is a hybrid that acts as both the dmr and br but worse. Not too sure on the carbine. >Assault rifle actually wrecks in this game, but only in a close range scenario, other then that, fugget it. >Magnum is a neat fallback gun. Plasma pistol got nerfed but its a hard counter to vehicles (especially mantis). Bolt pistol is really only nice for the shotgunning effect. I havent made an opinion on armor abilities or perks yet.

I have some lore questions 1. Why make a bunch of superweapons into the shape of a ring and then make them sustain life? Who's supposed to live on the Halos? 2. Why do they put a map to the control room on a Halo? Who's going to be around to use the map if they need to fire the Halos? 3. Why is there a control room on a Halo? Surely it would've been better served to put the control room on a shield world or something. I've been thinking about this recently since replaying CE If there's been a flood outbreak of such magnitude that you need to cleanse the galaxy of sentient life, why would there be anyone alive who isn't on a shield world or the Ark?

>>18260230 1: No idea why they sustain life to be honest. 2: Why have a map on anything in anything? It's entirely possible Cortana just pulled up blueprints to the place and figured out where the CR was. It's been a while since I played. 3: I got the impression that activating the rings was a suicide mission for those who did it. Much Like the Shiled worlds protecting from the ring's effect, odds are a signal from the shield world/Ark wouldn't work to remotely detonate the rings.

The boys were sent off to train for war, and the women were trained to hold down the fort while their husbands were off killing for Sparta. They wouldn't interact again until were adults, which basically meant the men and women were raised in completely different worlds. Spartan men had to be very carefully introduced into anything resembling civilian life, simply because the military was all they were familiar with.

active camo is so fucking overpowered in flood mode I love it I've played only 4 or 5 games of flood but finished 1st every time. Just stick to groups and camo the moment you see a red blip on your radar and make sure you're in the front so you get first crack at a flood as he's trying to charge past you Even when the numbers start to dwindle, you can easily pick off flood while stealthed if you stick to heavy traffic areas or crossroads

>>18266996 I'm guessing a second season of Spartan Ops would be guaranteed not to be free, but them making it depends on the populations staying up long-term instead of dying out like Firefight. Plus them having time to make it in the 2 year gap between this and Halo 5. They'd have to start it pretty much now to get it done. As for armor DLC, I don't think they'd sell it separately.

>>18267202 Seems like most of the effort went into the story/voice acting. Maps aren't that exciting and the fact that the enemies aren't randomized at all hurts it. I don't think they'll keep a big population beyond the initial releases. On top of that, they'll really need to add a randomized matchmaking that doesn't let you pick the chapter. If they keep it as is and have 50 playlists for it, they'll all be empty.

7 hours later 18267408 Saint Lino
>>18267232 No they've said they intend to do SpOps as a regular thing. The plan is. A season is 10 Chapters. Each Chapter is 5 episodes. So 10 weeks for a season. How long before the next season is anyone's guess but they've stated they want to do multiple seasons. It's entirely likely they'll be releasing them quarterly. Getting a new season every 3 months would be cool. With the cutscenese being so short i can see them accomplishing that.

You MUST assume that every firefight will be you vs. the enemy on even ground or worse, and attempt to compensate. And quite frankly, for most maps there's little you can do beyond grenade and armor ability trickery. Against equal or slightly lesser opponents, so long as they have basic skill, you WILL lose 9/10 engagements when outnumbered.

I can't even remember just how many fucking awesome kills we all had. I know I had most of the flag carries, and that at one point on ragnarok I stuck two guys on a mongoose who had just taken the grav lift, took the flag, killed the douche in the middle waiting for me, and then got in a warthog that a teammate had for me and scored.

So that epilogue was partially confusing. It's like he is talking both past and present. "In this hour of victory, we taste only defeat" Victory being winning the war with humans. "we are forerunners, insert talk about the mantle here" Talking about how they have held the mantle successfully and shit. "I stand before you, accused of the sin of assuring forerunner ascendency, of attempting to save us from a fate where we are forced to....recede" Talking about how he was exiled for not going along with the halo idea, and wanted his army of prometheans to deal with the flood. Recede means they are going to hide away in shield worlds. "humanity stands as the greatest threat in the galaxy" "the reclamation has already begun" This is present tense, as he sees humans going around on his world, with space faring capabilities, something he obviously thought wouldnt happen with the whole "devoloution" solution. It could all be in the past tense i guess, but that would be bad writing for whoever wrote that.

Humanity stands as the greatest threat in the galaxy, refusing to eradicate them is a fools gambit We squander eons in the darkness while they seize our triumphs as their own! … The Mantle of responsibility for all things… belongs to Forerunners alone… Think of my acts as you will, but do not doubt the reality.

Have you guys watched that live action series in waypoint? I guess it was out before the game came out but I wasn't following much h4 stuff. What did you all think? Personally I would've loved if they did a whole show on this shit, or finally got a movie going, I really liked it apart from some things I couldn't put my finger on that made it seem low quality (despite all the fancy effects) I think that was solely due to having played so much halo it seems ridiculous to have a live action version

>>18277876 I figured everyone would've seen it, I guess you guys would've been doing these generals for months, I don't visit vg till im engrossed in a game to see if there's even generals. I agree with you on the last episode part, I still enjoyed it all. My favorite part of the 'series' was definitely the 'last people in the school' 'no, the planet' lines (para-phrasing obviously)

>>18278007 I found it really good, and enjoyed the continuation of the story, I don't know if its just a fuckup in the statistic keeping, but it said I finished the campaign in ~3 hours though, so take that into account. Someone else might be able to inform you (and me) if that was just a fuckup in the stat keeping

>>18278061 It's a fuckup. The campaign CAN be completed in 3 hours, but you'd have to play it on easy, tare through the levels and skip all the cutscenes. It's short, but sweet. >>18278007 Get it man, it's great. >388 butrayp Funniest captcha I've ever had.

>>18278054 No shit. I was hoping that the IV's would be more like ODSTs, just with augments and power armor. But the real ODSTs kinda make these green Spartans look like a bunch of punks. Ohh, what I would give to see Majestic paired up with the Chief on a mission. Just to show them how much they suck.

I'd like to thank the gentlemen from /hg/ that played grifball with me. You guys need to try that, t's fun as hell.

>>18278227 >Just to show them how much they suck. I don't think you seem to realise. They're not the same as Chief and his crew was, but they're still Spartans. No one in the military can compare to them.

Anyone use a xim for h4? I'm fucking useless with a pad after taking a long break from consoles. I'd love to get back into playing mp, but I just can't be arsed to learn to be competent with a pad again. I don't think I'll ever be at the point where I was able to control it on maximum sensitivity with near perfect accuracy.

What ever you need to tell yourself to justify cheating. There are assloads of people who play consoles constantly without accuracy that is easily achieved with a mouse.

>>18278649 If I have the opportunity to use a KB+M at even 80% efficiency im going to use it. The xim is a thing, idgaf if someone else doesn't use one and I could slap their shit with it. I'm not playing competitively, i just want to be able to control my reticle better. Do you cry if you hear of someone using a razer gamepad with the hotkey buttons too?

>>18278597 I believe so, you just need to check to see the wording, some say " do X to enemy" while others will specify "Do X to enemy Spartan"
