One of the songs is tooootally a Captain America 2 reference. But yeah, it sounds pretty great. There's one choral piece that reminds me of Ghosts of Reach kinda.

OH and can't forget the To Galaxy remix in the Sprint Vidocs. That sounds stellar.

Halo PC still best Halo

Well it's not exactly CE, but close enough

9/10 opinion you have there Assassin

Holy shit. I'm never playing that level again.
You're a super-soldier wearing the finest equipment made by man, you can strike fear into your alien enemies and get knee deep into parasitic scum with nothing but your wits and shotgun shells...and you fear a stick-bodied fuck?

Only if it's two stick bodies. Two stick bodies and a rock for the whole level.

DXHR [need to play DX soon]
ME1 [on another playthrough rn actually]
Halo CE [only campaign though]
FEAR [still playing through it, god tier gunplay]
Dino Crisis [fun to speedrun through, I think I have it down to around 1.5 hours now]

Literally zero games from after 2011, what do you know

And I haven't played Turok 2 the best game ever made of all time at all this year, I need to repent

But after Halo 2, precision weapons behave the way I described.

No? Well in Reach, sure, but certainly not in Halo 3. Like I said, the zoom doesn't make you more accurate aside from increasing your auto aim/bullet magnetism and slightly decreasing your recoil. See that video I posted [the one where I was calling Halo 3's BR total garbage]. Spread is every bit as random scoped in as it is scoped out.

I always thought there was an accuracy change when using the scope on precision weapons. Because your reticle stayed proportionate when zooming in. If it stayed the same, wouldn't you expect it to appear larger when scoped in to represent the true accuracy?

Never. Precision weapons were designed so that if you're in the correct range, it doesn't matter whether or not you're scoped in.

CE- Didn't matter [test it yourself, spread doesn't change at all]
2 w/TU- No spread
3- Didn't matter, but lead to the infamous H3 BR spread dilemma [range was too short, this meant that sometimes even with red reticule you would have shots running haywire]
Reach- Bloom, because I don't even know

Now that you mention it, this might be the case in H2A though. I haven't seen any tests on BR spread in that game, so I'm not the best judge. Regardless it's something that I hope will be removed from the game.

Right now it doesn't seem to have that much of an effect so I doubt it'll be anything as jarring as BR spread or DMR bloom on precision weapons... but, well, there it is.
It may have been that way in Halo CE, but that stopped in Halo 2.

What stopped in Halo 2? Halo 2 didn't have spread at all. And base, non TU Halo 2 works the same as Halo 3 [i.e. zooming in doesn't change accuracy].
*since Halo 2

The Halo 2 BR did have spread, it was just so minuscule you couldn't notice it unless you did a test standing still. The Carbine also had it.

Errr... no. Spread was entirely removed as of Autoupdate 1.1. There was still controlled recoil, but that was pretty much constant.

Halo 2 BR has no spread, only microscopic recoil

Halo 3 BR is garbage in every sense of the word, scoped in or not

Or was it? Now that you mention it while I've always heard of spread being completely removed I haven't really seen an official log for Autoupdate 1.1. Do you have a source stating that it was only a miniscule spread? And even then, it would be the same mechanics as Halo 3 so the effect on the argument is inconsequential.

[Sorry for this damn near schizophrenic set of edits, I'm doing other stuff too :P]

Though actually now that I think about it, Halo 3's BR recoil was based on the reticule. So there would be a very very slight, extremely marginal increase in accuracy after zooming in.

I got to play a little of it through the Xbox Preview program. Its basically Halo 4 on steroids with a couple of small twists.
Doesn't have perks
doesn't have ordinance drops
doesn't have jetpack

It mainly comes down to ADS and sprint.  Everything else is fairly minor.
The "ADS" is literally a fancy animation for scoping in. It functions the exact same way.


This has been a thing in Halo games for years, and that's not going to make any difference at all.

You could increase precision of automatic weapons by zooming in the other Halo's?

In the Halo games which had zoom on automatics, yeah.

Meaning H2A and nothing else, but still. Regardless considering automatics have always operated on a bloom-ish system, it makes sense that a zoom feature would have made said automatics more accurate at ranges [reticule size stays the same but covers a smaller area of the screen than hip fire].

Now the question is: Are automatics with zoom features a good addition to Halo in the first place?

Ayy that shows a very slight spread tightening on the BR too, now that's not good

Because that's probably not the SPNKR.

It is

Interesting [still might be the G4H-DuSH though, but regardless it's the new RL]. Wonder if the in lore it has something to do with the SPNKR having two tubes. I'd be surprised if the change was due to gameplay [maybe it's to slow down the ROF, but that seems like a silly reason].
