Okay, so, I just jumped on this forum so I’m not sure how much this paticular topic has been discussed in the community here but I want to bring this up to get some other opinions; I am curious.
Alright, as everyone knows the four shot became the five shot. To this day I can not stand this. It’s the one thing that is like a splinter in my eye when I play Reach. I recall Bungie, or the Multiplayer Lead, the guy with the beard… saying his intentions were to slow down the one on one engangment. That really made me ill and started my first doubts about Reach. I do understand why the move was made, because of amour abilitis, I mean what fun is the amour ability if you get four shoted and never get to use the ability. I get it. However, the pace of Reach is sometimes agonizingly slow, and it just saps the rush and thrill out of Slayer, for me.
I’m glad to here that there is going to be a much more broader selection of weapons. With this, I really really want to see some serious diversity in the weapons. I want there to be noticable and clear differences in the close range weapons. I want to see the four shot back sooo freakn bad especially after they brought back the old school Halo CE pistol. It felt good. I have been such a HUGE fan of Halo and it seems like with 343 making Halo that they have already made some changes that sound like changes real Halo fans would make and it’s nice to see.
From one Halo fan to another, DO NOT slow down the pace of the game. My personal opinion bring back the Four Shot… seriously. Not every marksman weapon has to be but consider at least the the BR and make the Shotgun significant, I mean make people pay for coming in for the melee. Give the shotgun some spread and range. Put a real skill curve on the Sniper too, all the weapons but more so the Sniper. Also make the Assult Riffle capable of headshots… I never understood that really. Why can’t you headshot with an AR?? For the quicker kill ofcourse.
Please let me know what you think??
