Yeah, this will be a game (judging by the beta) that WILL have a "best" class and gun rendering all the other useless

SO BASICALLY THE SAME AS HALO 1, 2, AND 3

Nothing like that. Although there is a "preferred" gun, not one gun was ALWAYS had or was best in all situations. The BR would get beat by duel smg in close quarters, sniper from far, rockets (nuff said) when in certain situations.


In this game you have the same gun the whole time all the time. The "best" will be obvious.

 

[memphissfinest]

I didn't have those problems when I played the beta. The only things that killed me quickly were machine guns and the cydonia but it never felt like a 1-2 shot death like something in cod. I even started using the first rifle you get and still managed to put in work

THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY. ALL THE SMG'S DO THE SAME AMOUNT OF DAMAGE, ALL THE RIFLES DO THE SAME AMOUNT OF DAMAGE, ETC. THE DIFFERENCE COMES IN WITH OTHER ATTRIBUTES. FOR EXAMPLE THE SHINGEN AND CYDONIA HAVE HIGH RATES OF FIRE. SO IF A SHINGEN WIELDER AND SOMEONE WITH THE DEFAULT SMG FACE OFF THE SHINGEN WILL WIN BASED ON RATE OF FIRE AS LONG AS THE WIELDER HAS DECENT AIM. HAS NOTHING TO DO HOW MUCH DAMAGE EACH GUN IS DEALING BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH DEALING THE SAME AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. THE SHINGEN IS JUST GETTING MORE SHOTS IN.

I USED THE PISTOL IN HALO 1 IN ALL SITUATIONS AND STRAIGHT MURKED.

USED THE BR IN HALO 2, 3 IN ALL SITUATIONS AND WAS PRETTY MUCH UNSTOPPABLE. NEVER FELT THE NEED TO USE ANYTHING ELSE UNLESS I FOUND ROCKETS.

HALO HAS ALWAYS HAD THAT SUPER GUN.

I'M SURE DESTINY WILL CONTINUE THE STREAK FOR BUNGIE. ALL WE SAW IN THE BETA WAS LOWER CLASS WEAPONS. SOME OF THE LEVEL 20 GUNS

Pistols in Halo 1 were lethal... dat zoom made it a sniper for sure

 

[jewseejay]

Nah man. Plasma n reg pistol dual weild will whoop up on a BR close range in H1.

 

[blastercombo]

But did you ALWAYS have them? That's the point. Is you don't always have them then it's not ALL situations. YES the BR and pistol were the preferred weapons, but at times you had to make due with what tools you had.

 

[antidope]

I wish every game would do away with class based shooters. Putting weapons on the map and having people vie for control>>>>> Why does everyone need to have the ability to spawn with a sniper rifle, more often than not the best gun in a shooting game?

Not only that it opens up for different game feel for each map. What's the best close range weapon? Sword right? Well that sword is useless in a big open map. On the other side a snipe is also useless in smaller maps (no scope is what it is of course). Better movement within the maps, better gameplay

 

[antidope]

Honestly 90% of the time, the BR is winning against any gun it goes up against. Halo is at its core an 8 gun game with one central all purpose gun. But that is what makes the game completely fair and even. You get Out BR'd thats your fault. You fight for power weapon control which gives you an advantage for a short period of time, but if your BR isnt good then you're not going far on a grand scale.

H1 Magnum was ridiculous and I havent played it in so long that its going to be the most interesting game to play on XB1. It had extreme map lockdown potential if you ran with people who knew how to aim it.

 

[bigj505]

I wish they brought back proximity chat like they had in halo 2.

I remember not knowing that it existing. was telling my boys I was gonna sneak up on this dude... he promptly gave me the business then repeated what I said.... had me like " , he heard that?"

 

[antidope]

Even though a lot of them were what I would consider to be "useless" most of the time, all of the Halo guns drastically differ from one another. Class based shooters have like 50 guns and they all feel so similar.

During bomb and flag games I'd yell "everyone in!", watch the other team jump in looking confused, then rocket them all

Good times

Useless or not sometimes you HAD to use them. That's the balance of the game

The trashing talking was something else. I put words together that would make angels blaspheme. Words that would make puppies cry blood.


It was glorious.

YES I DID. I WASN'T PLAYING ANYTHING BUT MLG WITH BR START OTHERWISE I'M VOTING FOR SOMETHING ELSE OR QUITTING OUT. THE OTHER WEAPONS WERE TRASH TO ME BESIDES ROCKETS AND SNIPER.

AND IN HALO 1, YOU ALWAYS HAD THAT PISTOL.

THE NOOB COMBO

DUDES USED TO RAGE QUIT SO BAD BECAUSE OF THIS COMBO.

I REMEMBER BEAVER CREEK USED TO BE FILLED WITH A CRAP TON OF GREEN ENERGY BALLS FLYING AROUND. DAMN THINGS USED TO CHASE YOU AROUND CORNERS.

game hasn't even come out yet. destiny feels like halo's side story

 

[memphissfinest]

Come at me, papis

I DON'T THINK I CAN SAY THAT BUT DESTINY IS THE TRUTH THOUGH. WILL SEE HOW MUCH IT CAN KEEP MY ATTENTION LIKE THE WAY HALO 3 DID BUT JUDGING SO FAR, IT IS A CONTENDER. I LITERALLY WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK, EATING AND PLAYING DESTINY UNTIL 2 AM EVERY DAY OF THE BETA.

AND IN HALO 1, YOU ALWAYS HAD THAT PISTOL.

So in specialized matches you had them all the time ok. So basically you didn't play the whole game in terms of MP

Halo 1 pistol was broken but it also wasn't online so I for one didn't play the MP much
