So, I just played like, 4 games of Halo 4. And, while I’m not going to say 'Wub wub I’m super pro mlgeeee", I’ll admit that yes, I am a good player. In most of the games I’ve played, I carry my team around. (Got like, 31 kills and 3 deaths last game. Wonder what happens to my k/d.)
Anyways, I want to give my first impressions for discussion.
First of all, the biggest issue I had was when I JIP’d a game where blue team was getting spawn-killed on Ragnarok. We did eventually even out the game a bit, but it was still a bit annoying. While JIP is still good, Spawn killing will eventually be addressed. Just not now.
Next, guns.
AR is beast. Seriously, give it a try. Game 1, I used that, and it was amazing. Burst fire, and at med-long range I killed someone in about 2 seconds. Close range, it’s a monster.
SAW is just a beefed up version of the AR; It’s amazing, + some more.
On to the issue of the BR being weaker - At first, I was one of the guys slightly annoyed that the BR was statistically weaker than the DMR. That opinion has now changed; IMO, DMR is worse. The BR fires in bursts; This accounts for it all. Both are VERY even; With both guns, I have just about NEVER lost a gunfight.
Spartan Laser: Slower charge time. I blew up a banshee, a wall, and a tree. It was great.
Mantis: Easily countered with a team. Of maybe 3.
Ordnance Drops: A bit…too easy for me. What is it, 5 kills? 50 points? I get around 5-6 each game.
I really have NOTHING to complain about right now. It’s a beauty of a game, balanced, and the thing I was most worried about - It isn’t slow paced.
Even getting spawn-killed was fast; So was fighting back.
