Power weapons in FFA.

Games Other Halo
1

I personally would like to see Halo 4’s FFA to be like Reach’s FFA Arena was.

  • Slayer only,
  • No power weapons,
  • DMR starts,
  • Assists counting as kills.

I agree with most things, but why should assists count as kills?
IMO, the assist medal souldn’t even be in FFA, it doesn’t make sense

Imagine a duel where your and your opponent’s shields are down and then some guy shows up and cleans you both up.

FFA Arena prevented that issue by still giving you a kill/assist. The same goes for your opponent.

i thought reach ffa arena was fun but got boring after a while so…

The assist system in ffa was limited. If you’re getting your kills cleaned up in ffa then you are in a bad position or you’re missing shots. Players would go in for double beatdowns knowing that they would at least get an assist.

No. If you get an assist in FFA it is because of bad positioning. You shouldn’t be rewarded for ALMOST getting a kill in a FFA gamemode.

Position? I’d accept timing. Putting a helpful shot and last shot is your intent when “assisting” a kill. In other words, get the headshot, not the shield-dropping shot.

I disagree,

> i like prefer the BR
> Assists as kills would be silly and mathematically problematic.

Cleaning up kill is totally luck based, it doesn’t have anything to do with correct timing or positioning.

It was the only playlist in Reach that actually required skill and not -Yoink!- power weapons.
