Now that Halo 4 is out, we’ve been able to play with our own unlocks instead of just speculate. We went into the game intending to go with what worked before, experimented, died to some guy with another loadout, and tried to figure out if what he was using was cheap or not. Hell, maybe you’ve even found something that you’re pretty sure that it works, three days after the launch of Halo 4.
So, I ask you, Waypoint, what is your main loadout, so far? Throw in armor combos if you want, too.
I switch around, but my most recent favorite is:
DMR
Storm Rifle
Plasma
Thruster pack/P-Vision/Hardlight/Hologram
Firepower
Dexterity
If playing Big Team Battle, my secondary is a plasma pistol. And I change Firepower to Mobility
Assault Rifle Prime
Magnum
Frag Grenades
Thruster Pack
Prime Armour
My main loadout is:
Carbine
Assault Rifle
Frags
Jetpack
Firepower
Dexterity
And my alternative big team/dominion loadout is:
DMR
Magnum
Stickies
Hardlight Shield
Mobility
Ammo
DMR
AR
PROMETH
FIREPOWER
DEX
Light rifle
Suppressor
Plasma grenades
Firepower
Ordinance priority, or whatever it’s called.
Just realized I forgot to put my own in there, /bump
This one is mostly cir Dominion, since most of the combat is indoors or at mid range in or around the bases
AR
Magnum
Frag, but thinking of switching to Pulse if in gives me more room to run away and use my AA, which is…
Regen Field or Promnight Vision.
AA Efficiency, which is manditory if I want to use Regen often with its really long recharge time.
Ammo or Explosives.
I use this one with Dominion as well, or BTB with PP and Sprint.
Carbine
AR with FP or Boltshot/PP with Sprint
Frag, going to go with Plasma for vehicles.
Hardlight or Promnight. Regen if I use AA Efficiency with no AR or Carbine combo.
Sprint, FP or AAE
Explosives or Ammo.
Ragnarok, Meltdown & Exile (big maps, long sigthlines, many vehicles):
DMR
Plasma Pistol
Plasma Grenades
Regeneration Field
Shielding
Ammo
Longbow & Vortex (big maps, some big vehicles, but sightlines fit more for BR):
BR
Plasma Pistol
Plasma Grenades
Regeneration Field
Shielding
Ammo
Complex (I camp the big roof a lot when it supports the gametype, and DMR is a beast for camping on it. When I’m not on the roof, sightlines are more appropriate for BR):
BR
DMR
Frag Grenades
Regeneration Field
Firepower
Ammo
Abandon, Adrift, Haven & Solace (extremely close quarters, jetpack-friendly):
BR
Assault Rifle
Frag Grenades
Jetpack
Firepower (having these two weapons are the absolute best option on these maps, at least until I unlock the 5th slot and can make a BR/magnum class for Haven)
Dexterity (both the weapon swap speed and reload speed are insanely good for close quarters)
Slayer K/D is 2.25. I play mostly CTF, plus a good chunk of Dominion and BTS, some flood, and occasionally KOTH or oddball. Pretty happy about my KD in co-junction with a 1.0 W/L ratio in CTF, 2.1 W/L ratio in Slayer and about 1.2 W/L ratio in dominion. 4 win 0 loss in oddball, 2.2 W/L in KOTH, 12.0 W/L in Flood.
Hey. If you need any tips or tricks, this guy knows a lot. http://www.youtube.com/user/BravoMLG?feature=watch
check him out.
DMR
Boltshot
Frags
Promethean Vision
Mobility
Shield recharge rate
PV is second only to jetpack. A legal wallhack and the ability to lolpack at any concept of map control is hilarious (in how absurd their effectiveness is), there really is no reason whatsoever to pick any AA over these two. They are well above and beyond the usefulness of the other AA’s.
Might get the firepower package and swap Boltshot for the AR, though that one-shot kill is satisfying.
Well, hers my 2 which I switch between
Ranger (Focuses on mobility, speed, and map control)
-BR
-Magnum
-Frag
-Jetpack
-Speed
-Dexterity
Pathfinder (Tracks enemies and hits at long range)
-DMR
-Magnum
-Frag
-Promethean Vision
-AA Efficiency
-Dexterity (Until I get motion tracker buff)
