Sorry it’s a bit late, but I wanted to share my opinion on Halo 4 after playing it at Eurogamer Expo.On Sunday I played 6 games over the day.I played 3 games of Regicide on Adrift,2 games of Infinty Slayer on Solace and a game of Flood Mode on Haven.
Primary Weapons:
Out of the 4 “Scoped” Mid-Range Weapons (BR,DMR,Carbine and Light Rifle) I felt that the Light Rifle was the least powerful.The BR was a disappointment to me,as it was much weaker than in previous Halo games.The DMR felt powerful and was a “Dream Gun” compared to the Halo: Reach version.The Carbine was my favorite starting weapon.It may have been slightly OP as it’s fire rate was ridiculous!
Secondary Weapons:
I only got to use the magnum and Boltshot during the games I played.The Boltshot was not OP like everyone guessed it would be.The “Overcharge” was hard to use for one-shot kills as the enemies can sprint away.The magnum was good to clean up kills but had reticle bloom,which made it useless at mid range.
Power Weapons:
The power weapons have not changed drastically in my eyes.The Scattershot had been nerfed since the E3 and PAX builds,which meant the shotgun would probably have a longer range.The sniper has less aim-assist than the Reach sniper.The shots were much harder to land than older Halo games.The Sticky Detonator has been tagged as weak.I don’t not agree with this at all,as long as it is on target.(I got a very sweet triple kill with it)(.And the SAW…ah…I love you
Gametypes:
The New Flood Mode was a great update to the current Infection.The Zombies are much more threatening and had greater agility. Infinity Slayer was not a big change and felt like Slayer with some fancy features(Not in a bad way).Regicide was fun and I would call it a variant of Juggernaut (Maybe I’m wrong,I don’t play a lot of FFA).
Who else played Halo 4 over the weekend? What did you play? Post your thoughts below.
Just wondering but how did the br feel weaker is it because of the 5sk? But from. Have heard it sounds like it plays great i cant wait to get my hands on it and did the light rifle feel op since its a 4sk unlike the br and dmr thanks man im glad you had fun

Nearly all the weapons in Halo 4 are adapted to certain situations.The DMR was a bit more varied compared to the others which in the long run,felt more balanced.The BR and Light Rifle were more restricted to Close/Mid Range
> You say the lightrifle was the least powerful? That’s a new one…
yeah that and you say the LR was only suitable for med close range? I just watched that kid greenskull talk about how he thought the LR was the best long range gun. Trumping the DMR.
I just hope i can shoot the br long range like if i lead my shots like in halo 3 i just love the br that 3 shots burst is so satifisfying. Im more borded of the dmr because of halo reach
What does everyone else think?
The SAW looks ridiculously overpowered from what I have seen of it. It needs a serious nerfing if you ask me. Kill times look to be about 1 second with it.

cross maping im sure will be possible but not as efficient as the DMR/LR
your bread and butter will be at closer ranges.

That doesn’t make much sense. The LightRifle is weaker at close ranger. It kills as fast as the BR unzoomed, but zoomed in, it kills faster than the DMR. Wouldn’t it make more sense to use it at long range?
ya im just confused how they can make the light rifle a 4sk it still being balanced but i am not starting another thread on how the br should be a 4sk but im just interested on how the light rifle will turn out. im very optimistic though

The LR when zoomed has a lower rate of fire than the DMR.
