Gaming / Re: I'm just sat here on the Halo 5 beta title listening to the music« on: December 29, 2014, 12:23:29 PM »
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. 786

Gaming / Re: Halo 5 Beta starts in 2 days.« on: December 28, 2014, 12:02:26 AM »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. 797
Gaming / Re: Halo 5 Beta starts in 2 days.« on: December 27, 2014, 11:28:38 PM »*since Halo 2It may have been that way in Halo CE, but that stopped in Halo 2.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? 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 ] 798

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]. 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. 799

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. 801
Gaming / Re: Halo 5 Beta starts in 2 days.« on: December 27, 2014, 03:54:05 PM »This has been a thing in Halo games for years, and that's not going to make any difference at all.The "ADS" is literally a fancy animation for scoping in. It functions the exact same way.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 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 802

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]. 803
