I find it annoying how you get stunned and slow down when you get shot…
I was playing a game, and these four players came outta nowhere and started shooting me. So I turned and started running for cover, I would have definatly made it, but I noticed as I was running and getting hit, I slowed down as if I was stalling. and it jsut keeps happening and I keep dying when i could have made it to cover soooo many times! 343i makes me not wanna plany halo 4.
And another thing is the banshee and its barrel-roll. its such a sad slow going barrel-roll. makes it so pointless.
Sorry for the ranting but I’m also curious about what other players think about the whole slow down as you get shot. I personally think its annoying and doesnt make sense.
thanks for reading
The slow down is to inhibit a player’s ability from rofl-escaping a bad situation they put themselves in. But a little advice, when you’re under fire, WALK instead of sprinting. A player’s walking speed is faster than a player’s sprinting speed while under fire.
It’s to stop people sprinting away from every fight, like people did in Reach.
Ah, new poster I see.
The slowing while you are being shot is actually to prevent exactly what you were trying to do: abuse sprint to make up for your poor positioning. It might be an annoying feature when you are the victim but it does improve gameplay.
As for the barrel roll yes it is slow but you will find the banshee is plenty mobile and lethal enough without it.
In Reach, people were getting annoyed at people who just sprinted away when shot at. That’s why it’s like that in Halo 4.
As for the Banshee, I think it was just to make it less dominating than other games. It does seem like it’s pretty pointless, though.
The idea of sprint is to get you into battle quicker rather than get you out of it quicker.
Because some people didn’t know how to deal with someone punching them in Reach.
As for the Banshee, 343i didn’t nerf it appropriately from Reach with a chisel, they just made it useless.

That’s why.
