Are you excited for the TU?

Well I can’t wait for the TU!! I’ve heard that they will fix a lot of problems with custom games

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard a politician say they are going to fix alot of problems, well, you can imagine how wealthy I’d be.

LOL

Yes and no. Yes because when the TU fails to fix the game I will finally be able to move on. No because it will be the final nail in the coffin for Halo.

Hah. What if they buffed the DMR.

> Hah. What if they buffed the DMR.

Then they would buff the bolt shot and make camo a standard ability like sprint is.

No.

Forge - all the things 343 removed aren’t really being put back in
Theater - all the things 343 removed aren’t really being put back in
Customs - all the things 343 removed aren’t really being put back in

Honestly, the TU is just gonna fix a whole bunch of bugs that were only introduced in all the new ideas 343 placed, along with the unbalanced things from 343’s own ideas as well.

Nope. Thinking about trading Halo in for Crysis 3 next week.

> Well I can’t wait for the TU!! I’ve heard that they will fix a lot of problems with custom games

Nah not really. 343 doesn’t really make good on promises. They’re more about lies and letdowns.

I’ll wait and see what’s in it before rendering judgement.

> I’ll wait and see what’s in it before rendering judgement.

Good God man, what on earth is the matter with you?!?

It’s all about jumping to conclusions, and getting yourself outraged about things that don’t even exist yet.

lol no.

Until the BR is buffed or the DMR is slowed and magnetism is tweaked I’m not about to get excited.

I had hope prior to Reach’s TU.

But they screwed that up by not making it game wide, released a beta of a game in H4 full of stupidity that should never had made it past the idea stage, and thus far will keep a 1sk weapon (boltshot) as a loadout option.

No, i’m not excited for the TU. I have no faith in 343 at all, and don’t even think they should be making video games.

If this thing didn’t have Halo on the cover it probably sells 250k copies at best.

Threads like this really seem to attract optimistic folks.

I’m excited, although I already love the game as is. Hopefully they fix some of the more glaring problems such as vehicle health and DMR dominance. I’d like to see customs fixed, but I doubt they will be.

I have little faith in TU.I just accept nothings ever perfect and endure the things I dont like which Halo 4 has in abundance.

The TU is more their way of saying “It seemed like a good idea at the time…”.

Instant respawn options and friendly fire fix is good, but there are still a lot of issues with this game besides that. The DMR still needs to be balanced as well. They seem to be taking their sweet time with that.

Buffing the BR will actually make it unbalanced. DMR is fine, BUT it just needs more bloom, and less magnetism. That is it, People calling for nerfs and Buffs who don’t understand that is the downward spiral to an unplayable game. All I can say is practice playing more instead of calling for buffs and nerfs.

All in the all, Hopefully the TU brings in good connection options, that’s all i’m really hoping for.

Exactly. The BR, Carbine and Light Rifle are fine. The DMR however needs to be slowed down. The range on both hip-fire and scoped aim assist is far more than it was in Reach.

The Reach DMR minus bloom would’ve been a better decision.

They can’t slow down the fire rate on the DMR, If they do then people who use DMR on swat are not at a (bigger) disadvantage, also that would make the time it takes to kill somebody off with loadout weapons. The only way they can fix the DMR and stop the awful complaining over it is to fix the bloom and assist it gives the player. The fire rate for every gun in this game should remain the same, no idea why allot of people suggest changing a certain guns rate when that will ruin the balance for other aspects of the game. Solution is in the bloom and Assist if people aren’t willing to learn how to play, It’s simple.
I know it is a baby sniper, but reducing damage will ruin allot of things. Slowing fire rate, will then mean we need to slow the fire rate of the BR, Carbine and Light Rifle.

EDIT: Yeah, the Reach DMR would of been a better addition then a gun that seems to pull towards the head, allot. I know aim assist has to be there, but not as much as this game has at the moment, it’s far too forgiving.

Not in anyway.

I don’t know why people are getting so excited about it, it’s not a content update, it’s a title update.

  • Nothing new will be added other than a few custom options (which I’m willing to bet CTF is still fudged)

  • Forge will still be a terrible mess,the kill boxes and space to actually make levels will still be tiny.

  • No ‘classic’ playlist would be added

  • There will be no added weapon skins or customisations

I really hope they add new content like what Bungie did with maps for Halo 3 (snow tanks anyone?) and what DICE does with BF3 dlc by adding new skins and commendations.

Honestly, for me the only thing that they got absolutely spot on was the campaign and spartan ops story (not the gameplay)
