What the hell… all that is in Halo 4? vomits

Primary: DMR
Secondary: BR
Armor Ability: PV
Grenades: Frags
Tactical Packages: Firepower
Support Upgrade: Mobility

Primary: DMR.
Secondary: BR.
Armour Ability: PV. (Since there’s nothing which can beat it, it’s the most overpowered AA)
Grenade: Fragmentation.
Tactical Package: Firepower.
Support Upgrade: Mobility.

Primary: Br

Secondary: Plasma Pistol

Armor Ability: Thruster Pack or PV

Grenades: Plasma Nades

Tactical Package: AA Efficiency

Support Upgrade: Mobility

Or

Primary: DMR

Secondary: BR or Assualt Rifle

Armor Ability: Thruster Pack or PV

Grenades: Plasma Nades

Tactical Package: Firepower

Support Upgrade: Mobility

> Primary: DMR.
> Secondary: BR.
> Armour Ability: PV. (Since there’s nothing which can beat it, it’s the most overpowered AA)
> Grenade: Fragmentation.
> Tactical Package: Firepower.
> Support Upgrade: Mobility.

It’s not that overpowered. There are ways to combat it, plus there are ways to tell other players that people are using it. (Audio and Visual ques)

-It’s very long range, at least double that of the motion tracker.
-I can see what weapon the other player is using around the corner so I know whether to go into battle or not.
-I know what direction the player is going, if he’s above, below, ect.

That’s enough for me to pick it over any other AA.

Primary: Battle Rifle
Secondary: Assault Rifle
^^^Could be switched around if I choose^^^
Armor Ability: Hardlight Shield (could change when game is out and if more choices are available)
Grenades: Frag Grenades
Tactical Package: Firepower
Support Upgrade: Mobility

Primary: BR
Secondary: AR
AA: Thruster Pack
Grenades: Fragmentation
Tactical Upgrade: Firepower
Support Upgrade: Ammo upgrade

Is it possible to put BR as primary and DMR as secondary instead of the other way around? If so, on long-range maps:

  • Primary: Battle Rifle
  • Secondary: DMR
  • Armor Ability: Hardlight Shield
  • Grenades: Frags
  • Tactical Package: Firepower
  • Support Upgrade: Ammo

On short to mid-range maps, from what I’ve seen so far, I’d go with the Magnum or the Storm Rifle as my secondary.

Name: Nostalgia

BR

Carbine

Tactical Package: Firepower

Support: Sensory

AA: Thruster Pack

Nades: Frags

Name: Situational Awareness

DMR

Magnum

Tactical: AA Efficiency

Support: Awareness (or Sensory)

AA: Promethean Vision

Name: Calm before the storm

Storm Rifle

Plasma Pistol

AA: Thruster Pack

Tactical: Shielding

Support: Mobility

Nades: Stickies

Name: Classic

Assault Rifle

Magnum

AA: Hologram

Tactical: Grenadier

Support: Resupply

I haven’t really seen to much of the loadouts. So could someone please explain to me what the support upgrade is and list what it consists of? I have an idea of what the tactical package is. I know a few of those but not all. I don’t think I could pass up having a DMR and BR combo or BR and AR combo though.

Primary: Assault Rifle
Secondary: Pistol
Armor Ability: Hardlight Shield
Grenades: Sticky Grenades
Tactical Package: AA Efficiency
Support Upgrade: Ammo

This should give you a good idea on support upgrades

What the loadout menu looks like so far

True. I don’t think I’d be able to use it I think the colors might throw me off. But who knows. I like being mobile I might use the thruster pack.

I have multiple preferred loadouts depending on gametype, map, and other factors:

Long sight lines, big map (Longbow).

Primary: DMR
Secondary: BR
Armor Ability: Jet Pack
Grenades: Frags
Tactical Package: Firepower.
Support Upgrade: Ammo

Mid-long map range w/ mid-long sight lines (Adrift):

Primary: DMR
Secondary: Plasma Pistol
Armor Ability: If PV user is present, Active Camo. Otherwise, Hologram.
Grenades: Frags
Tactical Package: AA Efficiency
Support Upgrade: Awareness

Mid-short range w/ mixed sight lines:

Primary: BR
Secondary: Magnum
Armor Ability: Thruster Pack
Grenades: Frags
Tactical Package: Shield Package
Support Upgrade: Resupply

Those are my preferred scheme’s.

Won’t know till I play Halo 4 and see how everything plays out. Ask me this about 1-2 weeks after release. :slight_smile:

Default: DMR/BR
Secondary: Mangnum
AA: Promethean Vision or whatever I seem to like best.
Grenades: Frag or if there is a Promethean grenade, then that.
Tactical Package: AA Efficiency
Support Upgrade: Awareness

> Primary: DMR.
> Secondary: BR.
> Armour Ability: PV. (Since there’s nothing which can beat it, it’s the most overpowered AA)
> Grenade: Fragmentation.
> Tactical Package: Firepower.
> Support Upgrade: Mobility.

its more than likely they’ll (in some way) make the Promethean Vision less powerful than what we saw at E3, the reason why I say they’ll most likely change it is because the whole point of 343 letting people play the game was to gather feedback, and nearly every single MLG player has said the PV is OP. if people can already tell that something is unbalanced then its pretty obvious thats its unbalanced.

Primary : DMR
Secondary : Assault Rifle or Storm Rifle, depends on which I like better.
AA : Thruster Pack
Grenades : Plasma Grenade
Tactical Package : Firepower
Support Upgrade : Resupply

Of course, I will have multiple loadouts that vary on the maps as well as what else there is in the game that we don’t know about it. A tentative second loadout would be this one :

Primary : BR or Carbine, once again depending on which I prefer.
Secondary : Plasma Pistol
AA : Hardlight Shield or Auto Sentry
Grenades : Frag Grenade
Tactical Package : Shielding
Support Package : Resupply
