in all halo game’s there have broke the game more with speedrunning by glitcing out off the map or use spots where the developers not have add kill barriers at all.
if there really wane stop the speedrunning in halo there need to add more kill barriers that have a longer area where you cant reach the end from the other side in less then 10 sec’s.
same for under the map and on the top off the missions ceiling’s.
so far there are not doing it at all.
so in general the tank gun has notting to do with the speedrun at all so what there told to stop the speed run is wrong about it since there never use the tank gun at all.
I do not think that will be enough. You can still do other things like fling yourself across the map and what not. And I am sure other ways will be found.
Honestly, this whole thing is such a hassle that is not worth pursuing if you ask me. Unless there is something that is preventing us from progressing through the game, by playing normally as intended, leave things be.
the tank gun easter egg has notting to do with the LASO run at all.
sure players use it to play the LASO run normal.
but now you get that the LASO run players are going to use the glitch’s more what speedrunners have been doing so the question has remove the tank gun easter egg making any thing diffrend at all its only that there now use more the same tactic the speedrunners are using to make LASO run also faster.
the only thing there do is destroy the fun people have with the tank gun at all and thats not any good reason to remove it at all.
i not know how long you are on the forum but its basic normal that at some point things go off topic more.
so long its staying with here and there and not always staying off topic is it not a problem at all.
there are a lot off threads where people go at some point off topic more with some things.
that you think that a lot off things need to become a skull is not always good that sometime’s things need to stay as there are now like the tank gun.
the same thing with your idea to make the equipment use also become a skull since some people hate it is sometime’s there need to deal it how it is and not has to become a skull or so.
the tank gun has become more from a bug or glitch to a easter egg.
and its to late more to fix something like that more since if you wait month’s after it has been found and you fix it then its more a compleet joke to tell we going to fix it since its has become a problem when the real problem if there wane do something against the speedruns there need to fix the out off the map glitch’s more and not something stupid like a tank gun when speedrunners not use then.
for what it looks now is something there need to chance for sure and make it look like a real scorpoin tank gun weapon.
but thats not going to happing at all since there going to remove it.
Please research before posting.
The tank gun is only found in the campaign and can only be used in the campaign.
The Scorpions main turret needs to reference a certain weapon to fire. That weapon is hidden in the campaign, however players found it. They can pick up that weapon and fire a tank round, which can make the campaign easier.
Removing it would be like removing the Scarab gun from Halo 2, or the weapon pad glitch weapons in Halo 5. There is no benefit to removing the tank gun other than to take away from the fun of finding it.
I feel like the outpour of people asking for this to not be removed should be proof enough that this is a bad decision. People like dumb fun stupid stuff like this. My post from days ago hits on a lot of other bugs/fun things you can do that you’re not supposed to across all the past Halo games. And surprise, surprise it’s gotten a lot of support.
Don’t forget, multiple people requested for collision to be turned back on. They acknowledged that most people wanted it back on, and said they wouldn’t change it.
It’s highly probable that they’ll say the community didn’t want it removed, however it should be removed to add validity to the LASO run. Even though, well you know… the people who wanted LASO have got it already more or less.
They said, and I quote, *" We feel like this keeps things cleaner and lets combat flow more naturally. However, we are aware of the community sentiment and are discussing future mitigations."."
I think it would be better as a skull well at least it would if I put it in the game that’s because it would work differently with some of the weapons for example if you were to fire a plasma based weapon while the tank skull is active you would end up firing a plasma-based tank round another example if you were to fire the shock pistol or shock rifle while that skull is active the tank rounds would have a electric area of effect upon impact another example while using the bulldog with that skull active instead of you firing a tank round from the bulldog each pellet from its normal shot has the concussive force and explosive damage of a tank round and the gun would have a beefier sound I think you get the idea I will say though they should leave the Tank gun in the game until they get a Tank Skull developed and working
you not need to have a tank skull at all.
if there only chance the tank gun here and there to make it more belance more.
if there reason is to make LASO what harder and not easyer ( what is still easy to compleet with all the glitch’s there can use)
then there need to chance that you can pick up the tank gun after you compleet all the missions and then you can have fun with the tank gun and do’s it not count for any mission.
like i told before on a few post’s back.
not all the glitch’s need to be fix some off then are fun and need to stay in the game to make it more fun to play the campaign mode.
there are game’s that have cool bugs and glitch’s that never has been fix at all since its more to fun to have then without then.
Yes, you can skip from mission 5 to mission 14. You have to do 14 and 15 and part of mission 8 but the other missions can be completely skipped. Silver / the halo completionist on youtube has the skip in his LASO guide under part 5. This plus the tank gun saves a lot of pain for the middle missions.
