Things The Title Update Should Include

Games Other Halo
1

1.) Be able to drop the flag.

This is a problem, we all tried it, it has its benefits, but at the very least make it an option to be able to drop it. As well as not picking the flag up when you walk over it, very frustrating when it happens on accident.

2.) No recoil on shots.

There are other ways to increase the skill gap, this is just very annoying and feels random. It didn’t need to be included.

3.) Bring back, “shot zoomed out”

What I mean is currently you’re BR, Sniper, DMR etc. stays zoomed in when you get shot, it needs to zoom back out. Re-zooming was an important skill in previous Halos.

4.) No instant spawns.

Like none, it was not a good idea, good try, but this one I’m adamant about.

5.) No personal ordinances or armor abilities in ranked gametypes.

I couldn’t care less if they are in social, yes it’s fun to get a Beam Rifle randomly, but it’s annoying when you’re much better than the other team but you’re using BR and they are practically playing Team Rockets with the stuff they’re getting in their ordinances.

6.) Keep sprint.

After much deliberation, I believe sprint has been done pretty well in Halo 4, I get mad at it sometimes but I do believe it’s a good thing in the long run. I can deal with it, but an option to turn it off in custom games wouldn’t be bad.

7.) Weapon Re-balances. See below.

DMR - increase kill time to 2.0 seconds.

BR - 4 shot kill, only if all 12 bullets hit.

Boltshot - make it backfire and kill the user 98% of the time, because that -yoink- is annoying and if another guy in the “red” hides behind a corner and kills me with a boltshot I’ll flip.

8.) And for all guns, every single gun, decrease bullet magnetism.

This will just greatly increase the skill gap, yeah I won’t get as many 5 shots, but once I do, I know I’ll win the battle.

9.) The hit boxes are somewhat shaky,fix them.

It’s VERY hard to hit someone running away in the head with a BR, even when they
are in the red.

10.) Make it so I can watch from other people’s first person views in theater.

Just a personal one, something I’ve always wanted, I like studying/watching gameplay, and I don’t like watching from third person.

Anyways, that’s what I want, if these actually came true, I’d be ecstatic. I’d like to get your guys opinions on some of these. Thanks.

In response to all of yours, OP…

  1. Make it toggle-able.
  2. There are none apart from the BR. Which is fine apart from the low damage.
  3. Sure.
  4. We have it already.
  5. Toggleable.
  6. Make it toggleable.
  7. DMR - No. Then everyone would migrate…making the DMR useless. Boltshot - Now you’re just mad people can kill you with it.
  8. Sure.
  9. Not really.
  10. Pretty sure you can, but if you can’t, other people’ fault. Buy a damn capture card.

Idioooo, nuff said.

toggle off sprint

no flinch (none on weapons shooting as well as being shot at by weapon, ruins sniper vs sniper or even vsing a sniper at any time)

descope on all weapons

Agree with it all except keep BR the same and nerf DMR to 1.8 seconds kill time (it’s easier to use than the light rifle so should not have an insignificantly slower killtime).

As for the Boltshot i propose a range nerf and a severe ammo reduction (instead of having the ability to kill 4 people with it’s charge function it’s ammo should be reduced so it can only kill 2).
This is to compensate for the fact that it’s a 1sk weapon and that it’s a secondary weapon, the boltshot is typically the last resort weapon, which means it shouldn’t be viable as much as it is currently.

People need to migrate away from the DMR, if you don’t see the person and you get shot first, there’s no starting weapon that gives you a chance to kill that person if they are remotely good, it is too easy to use and too fast.

Also as far as theater goes, no that is not an option and I do have a capture card, I don’t know how that would allow me to see “other” people’s screens.

The hitboxes as well are not incredibly accurate, often times a snipershot will hit a player’s head but it will count as a body shot. As well as the hitboxes are too large and easy to hit. Except when people are sprinting away.

I’d like to see a medal for a sniper headshot, not just snapshot (which is nice).

  1. Flinch needs to go and be replaced with knock out of scope mechanic like before. This would solve a lot of issues with DMR dominance on large maps

  2. PODs in any type of competitive playlist can’t happen. Needs to be replaced with static weapon spawns on predictable timers

  3. Option to remove indicators from weapons and grenades. It is just clutter on the UI and is not at all necessary at higher levels of play.

  4. Boltshot can stay as it is but should be removed as a secondary and made into weapon that spawns on the map

5)General weapon re-balancing

  1. More custom game options like the option to flag drop, toggle sprint, weapon despawn rate

  2. Instant respawn should be removed from all playlists across the board.

***) Im sure there is a lot more but this is what I can think off the top of my head

9

No JIP
Boltshot nerf - cannot 1 hit kill
Descope
++ all others mentioned here

Here’s my list I posted awhile ago.

Lets not make the br a 4 shot kill because it would be worst then the dmr. I think the dmr would be better if its rate of fire was reduced to a speed that is a little lower then the br, while also making its unscoped reticle some what like the snipers

The boltshot just needs a range reduction to close range. I know i might get a lot of hate for this, but the beam rifle is to easy to get snap shots with. It may over heat after to back to back shots, but the rate of fire allows some one to easily to shot you at close range.

And i will admit that i used to be against bringing descope back, but a no one should be able to dominate with a sniper because their is no down side to staying scoped in and shots are impossible to miss while being shot a in scope.

We need zoom out when shot I don’t know why they would change it.this is why you have a beta to test what people like but halo 4 feels like a beta that’s how I think of it anyway I mean common we just got doubles 3 months later I think. anyways that is a discussion for another time the instant Respawn needs to be out completely I agree or just in non ranked. You forgot about jip. That needs out in ranked at least. The bullet magnetism I agree needs to be way way way less like holy -Yoink- the game just gives you kills I switch to halo 3 for a couple games and I just thought the BR was broken until I remembered how to shoot in that game. Bolts hot needs to be a power weapon aka on map out of loadout. The DMR does need some tweaking.

Exactly! A beta woulda been really helpful for Halo 4, descope in, recoil out. I don’t know how to fix the DMR dominance or which route is best to take, RoF or damage, or range, im not sure. And bullet magnetism is just so crazy, too easy for new players, I want to be rewarded for playing for years and years making my shot better.

make it harder to use by having descope and less auto aim/bullet magnetism will fix most of the DMR problems.
