Assault Rifle Weapon Guide

Hello everyone!

I just uploaded this Assault Rifle weapon guide. I put a lot of hard work into it so I will kick myself if I don’t try to get it out there.

Any feedback is appreciated, positive or negative, it all helps me make the next one better.

I really like the style, and I really like the extra information that relates to lore instead of just gameplay. A definite subscribe from me, hope to see more.

The only thing I don’t like, is the Serif fonts, they don’t look very good and whenever you are on the internet, I suggest using sans-serif because serifs are just, 90’s…

Sans looks a million times better, especially for the UNSC.

Yea the font is going to be the first main change, fortunately its an easy change. But thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it =)

Even though im not a fan of the AR you did a very good job with the video

I subbed like and favorited! Great video better than anything I could wish to do and I am excited for more. I agree with the first guy the font is kind of out of place, maybe look for a UNSC font and use that instead. Other than that can’t wait for more of these I’ll be sure to share with friends.

Great job, it was really well done and interesting, I subscribed.

Personally, I use the AR with the Magnum, Frags, Thruster pack, Resupply and Explosives. I find myself using much more grenades than I do with other weapons.

Bravo, learned a few tips from the video. I’m a focused AR-user and was about to switch my secondary Magnum for a Plasma Pistol, but I guess not.

Love the style, depth, and the helpful tips and suggestions to create better Loadouts. Really nailed it. The only thing I didn’t like was the font and the music from Reach don’t go too well with the video imo.

Please do more videos for other weapons! Keep working at it, man. You’re doing a good thing.

Really useful tips in this video. Keep it up!

You guys have no idea how good this thread is making me feel and how encouraging it is, don’t worry there will be more, thanks for all of the good comments =D

Really awesome. I’ll have to try it again.

Subscribed. This will be such a useful tool for all the new players i have joining my team soon! The more videos you can pump out, the better! :smiley: Thanks man.

Very good video.

I really enjoyed the video, but I have a suggestion. I’d separate the tactical packages and support packages section, while not a big deal, it can keep the viewer from getting confused(which is always a plus). Other than that, I thought that the video was great and would love to see more like it, on other weapons, AAs, tac/sup packages, and maybe vehicles :slight_smile:

Great Video…I’m creating an AR loadout as soon as I get home.

Since the AR was my fav in Halo 3 (and most did not know how to use it correctly), I’ll be giving you a review on the negatives. (Note: This is only the negatives to provide constructive criticism)

1)Video is too long. Aim for 5minutes, keep it under 10. <— 10minute rule.
Intro is too long
Intro information is unneeded
History is unneeded
Technology definitions are unneeded.

I find the most important information is 3:10 to 6:30

  1. Do not explain “bad combination”, that’s not what people need to know about. Example: Plasma Pistol secondary…

  2. You go in depth over every single perk (Ability)

  3. You partially reviewed the DMR, Light Rifle, and other weapons.

  1. You restricted the gameplay to 1/4 of the screen. people can’t see what they want to see! Gameplay!

Improvements:
Talk about how to effectively use the AR (you did 3:10 to 6:30)
Talk about how it compares to the Storm Rifle, and Suppresser

Talk about these loadouts, and nothing else:

Loadout 1: Slayer
AR
Pistol
Plasma Grenafdes
Options: Hologram, Camo, Autosentry (I’d say Hologram)
Mobility
Dexterity or Stealth

Loadout 2: Objective
AR
Pistol
Frag Grenades
Options: Hologram, Camo, Autosentry (I’d say Camo)
Resupply (infinite grenades)
Explosives (increases blast radius, decreases damage recieved)


You said plasma’s are bad. They are extremely good. All the times where I was outnumbered and knew I was going to die, and I throw a plasma at the last second for the kill.

You may also want to explain why the AR is a bad weapon. Maps too large, Too many counters. The DMR/BR/LR can outmatch it in most scenarios.

I enjoyed your video, and I myself would recommend keeping it this long and if you tone it down only tone it down to 10 minutes or so.

The lore and history of the weapons are very interesting and are part of what set your videos apart from others, and personally the history was my favorite part. Contrary to some people’s views “Short and sweet” doesn’t always cut it if you’re creating a series. The more in depth you go, I say the better.

As unneeded as some may say the history is, it is interesting and once more it separates you from every other weapon guidesman out there.

I also see comparing the positives to the negatives to be a good thing as well.

You offer more, and far better content than many of the other “weapon guides” I see out there. I enjoyed your video thoroughly.

I would also consider extending the gameplay window a tad bit.

This video was nicely done.

I especially liked that you incorporated all that historical material with the tactical information about the weapon. It gives the video a higher degree of “in-game authenticity”. I also found the tips very useful and I’m looking foward to seeing how they fit my style of gameplay.

I’m not sure what sort of constructive feedback to give you, except that maybe I’d slow the dialog pacing down slightly in the beginning. There were a few moments there where the pacing seems to speed up slightly and then return to a normal documentary pace. By documentary pacing, I mean like that found with entries of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. That said, I think you did find a good rhythm midway through the video, especially with the pauses after your sentences. It gave me time to digest all the information that you provided.

I probably would have also introduced the secondary weapons differently. I maybe would have included a line or two mentioning that the bolt shot was “a weapon recently discovered on the Forerunner world of Requiem” and introduced Covenant weapons in a similar fashion (such as “used prominently by the Covenant infantry” or “which UNSC soldiers have in recent years utilized”). It just continues that look and feel that you had in the beginning of the video–that this is an actual in-game training video.

I’m really impressed with the level of effort that you put into this. And I’m looking foward to seeing what you do with the other weapons (especially the ones that I use a lot).

=d

For giggles, someone should make a Hitchhikers’ Guide entry for the assault rifle. Hehe.

I didnt intend on posting, but the vid was very good. Great job!

Nice job!

and Thank you thank you thank you

for not calling the magazine a -Yoink!- clip

I really like the video! I can’t wait to see the other installments! Keep up the good work!

P.S. Liked and subscribed.
