Usenet Magic-User posted:So is the more competitive 4v4 mode going to return us to a style of play similar to halo 2/3 or do they simply mean 4v4? It's more competitive, reminds me a lot of Halo 3. Of course there's new movement options like sprint, grapple, thrust, and ground pound, which some die hards have strong objections to. But I find them to be welcome improvements to the game design and brings it into this decade

Usenet Magic-User posted:Eh, I have strong objections to them, but I wont say anything til I play it and see if it works. Yeah I understand the objection, but to me Halo 1-3 was too slow. You basically crawl around the map. I always figured they slowed it down just to make it easier for people to acclimate to with a controller. Twitch based games on the PC would much much faster and that's the speed I preferred. To me, the new movement is an improvement. The grapple just "Makes sense" because who couldn't be able to climb onto stuff? Especially a bio-mech super soldier. The thursters are a nice addition as well because now if you make a slight movement mistake, like poking your head out, you're not just instantly screwed and can recover. Since everyone has it, it balances itself out. The floating while zoomed in is a bit of take it or leave it. Sometimes it's nice because you can jump, hover, and get the kill instead of needing to bounce up and down. It's annoying though when you're trying to strafe while zoomed in and go over a bump, now you're hovering and can't strafe anymore. Though you can disable "hover while zoomed in" in the options. The ground pound to me is the most "unneeded" of the additions. It kinda makes sense from a lore sort of standpoint, but it just doesn't really flow right and the controls are clunky for it. Especially if you switch from the default control scheme. Also I sucked at it so there's that. Most of the time I forgot it was even in the game.

My willpower is poo poo though, I'll probably make it until the first weekend before turning to craigslist to get a bone (and a sack of drugs) I understand the impulse, at least wait until after christmas/report card time for a better deal and to see if anyone is still playing

The new movement options in they beta were a lot of fun to play. The thruster adds a lot to the game in my opinion and I can't wait for the 27th. Now I just need to decide if I want to preorder it or not and if I want to get it on disc or digitally.

I always figured they slowed it down just to make it easier for people to acclimate to with a controller. Twitch based games on the PC would much much faster and that's the speed I preferred. Yeah, no joke I hopped into Halo 1 multi on the MCC for the first time in months and months, and I actually found myself saying "where's the run button?" Holy poo poo is it slow. That slowness did add to part of why it played well on console though, the low TTK and everything was part of that. Kinda intentionally slowing down the gameplay since you can't be as twitchy as you can on keyboard & mouse. But yeah, its too drat slow. Need some sprinting options and poo poo. And I actually really like mantling over walls and stuff, it makes you feel more human and less like a tank. Battlefield and Crysis both feel better because your character has some weight to them, like Mirror's Edge. Plus there's nothing so frustrating as getting stuck on a knee-high incline. "YOU COULD loving CLIMB THAT, MASTER CHIEF!" Mr E posted:I would like to play newhalo but I don't really need a bone for anything else. Yeah there's literally no other reason. Well, okay, Rare Replay. That's literally it though.

MickRaider posted:Quake 3 was the pinnacle of gameplay and graphics and you can gently caress off if you think otherwise I dunno. I think Doom2 was a more solid game overall since it had awesome gunfeel and great SP/MP both, but Q3A was fantastic too. I think we can agree on that.

Although there's a whole mess of a gun economy going on which is flippin' insane. But then again I did manage to make $400 off a knife drop so I guess I shouldn't complain.
