I just get to be more creative now. I use the weapons all the same and see no real difference in any of their effective ranges and it seems to take the same amount of shots to kill someone when there is no lag. There’s a Perfect Kill medal for it for crying out loud… Calling the scope ADS is ridiculous. It scopes all the same and it’s just cosmetic. Maybe it’s because I’ve just been using the Halo 4 controls because I’d rather use something I’m familiar with for the short time I have with this beta… I dunno. But i see no difference.
I do see a difference in the speed of switching weapons. It needs to be faster… I think they need to figure out a way to work in the shoulder charge better so it doesn’t go off when all you want to do is melee or assassinate someone. You can’t have 1 button perform 3 different actions while sprinting. The melee/assassination combo works, you tap it or hold it. Shoulder charge just goes off when you don’t want it to and it usually gets you killed. I also don’t really understand the damage of it, it seems to either kill the guy or not from any angle. I don’t mind the ability. But if they can’t work this in better it might be better off getting scrapped… I have no complaints about the ground pound, its tough to get kills with and if you get killed by that thing than you definitely deserved it.
