Hated Reach, played Halo 4 at RTX....

Games Other Halo
1

Halo is BACK BABY!! It was totally awesome. I played team slayer on Haven and I gotta say…it is the best Halo game to date.

They finally balanced the weapon sandbox. Every weapon I used felt useful in some way (unlike 3 and Reach).

The BR being a 5 shot is not a problem. The carbine does kill faster but can’t really kill more than one person with a mag.

The thing I’m most excited for is automatic weapons finally being good. The AR in 3 and Reach we’re dreadful. The AR and Storm rifle are amazing.

MLG might be pissed that the game isn’t dominated by one main utility weapon but who cares. A skilled player can pick up any weapon in this game and own with it. The noob will always lose.

Ill answer any questions you may have.

(for the record, I went 30k and 4d, 3 killing sprees and one killing frenzy).

Did you use thruster pack? and if you did, was it useful in a real situation against the enemy?

Sounds good, glad people are enjoying how it plays right out of the box.

Just for the record, MLG wants more diversity than one utility weapon, but most of the other weapons just never stack up to the power and precision weapons. Hopefully that changes in this game.

congrats man

what about Fall Damage ?

and can the AR kill 2 people with one clib ?

what about the base speed and jump height ?

i used prometheon vision. It is OP. All skilled players are going to use it. The other armor abilities are kinda cool. Hard light shield will be great if a team uses it tactically. Decoy is the same. Thruster pack sucks pretty bad though. It doesn’t go as far or fast as evade, can only use it once before cooldown, and has a long cooldown.

I’m curious to see if it can be used to jump into the air a lot higher. It would be useful then but to just dodge stuff, it’s useless.

Also, you can kill people by dropping tactical packages on them. A 343 employee told me that.

I didn’t see any fall damage and I jumped from some huge heights. If its there, it’s only slight.

The AR and Storm rifle kill quickly but require precision since the mag is more shallow. I doubt you can kill two people with one mag unless you include grenades and melee. That’s okay though because it will rip apart precision weapons up close and even outside of melee range.

I just got back from RTK as well and I can report THE SAME.

H A L O I S B A C K 10000%

Halo 4 friggin is amazing.

The BR is a mix between the H2 and H3 BR leaning more toward H2 because the spread seems narrower and more accurate.

Hard Light Shield is EXCELLENT, quick up and down, accurate movement and not at all overpowered but very useful.

Promethian Vision is VERY CoOL, I still don’t know how it might be used in team play, it may turn out a bit OP but I’m sure it can be tweaked…it’s mostly a Radar enhancer because the game play is SO FAST that you don’t have time to call out where everyone is even though you know it (and of course there was none of that there cause the headsets had no mic) and of course noone new callouts anyway.

There is NO FALL DAMAGE, I purposely jumped off a high point in the map and there was NONE.

Grenades are back the way they are supposed to be and the plasmas have a nice ‘feel’ when you throw and aim them.

Strafing is quick, not laggy like in Reach.

THIS GAME DOES NOT PLAY LIKE REACH AT ALL, It plays like a supped up version of Halo 3 and 2 the movement being fluid and crisp better than Halo 3, much better.

The HUD text in the middle of the screen didn’t bother me playing as much as it did watching it in the ViDOC

The SOUND in the headsets is GREAT, nothing like you hear in the ViDOCs.

That’s about all I can think of now will post more if I do…

ALL I CAN SAY IS YOU WILL WANT THIS GAME AND IT WILL BE GAME OF THE YEAR.

Agreed. Promethean is only OP because pros don’t really have reason to use anything else.

From your playing experience, do you think having the thruster pack combined with sprint greatly increases the melee weapons (hammer, sword) let alone CQC weapons (shotgun, AR, etc.) effectiveness? Are any combos of those armor abilities and weapons OP?

18

Niceeeee!

19

Its great to find out the fans love it, were you by any chance expecting it to be not as good as halo 3

Questions

Does sprint ruin map flow?

Are maps well constructed?

Do loadouts cause imbalance?

Does the points scoring system feel better than just 50 kills?

Did you try out all powerups and how good were they?

Is the scattershot OP?

Is the dmr hard to use at cqc combat?

What was your worst gun?

What was your best gun?

November can’t come soon enough!!!
