Good Hunter, what... what is this post?

I was on the 360 for D1 so never got Rise of Iron, were the Splicers an actual new race gameplay wise or were they just a new Fallen paint scheme like the House of Wolves were?

Very recognizable as fallen but with some new weapons/abilities.

Like their guns were all solar damage and fired slightly differently. If you got headshots they had a chance to spawn a seeking bolt. Vandals had pyramid heads so their crit spot was their neck instead. Captains had void shields.

So kinda like the Red Legion were still the Cabal but with some tweeks?

Reddit being really mad about it being “unfair” that headshots weren’t crits in these guys was the funniest poo poo

yeah basically. Like there weren't any new enemy types, like how D2 introduced dogs, gladiators and pyros. That didn't happen with the splicers.

Kinda like the taken versions. Maybe a bit less? Like you fight them, and you're like, "ok I'm fighting Fallen, but with a twist".

Scorn are just some prison thugs running around killing cops after they break free, pretty much a bunch of nobodies.

Just like the siva fallen that were some wanna be cyborg cultists, pretty much nobody.

Our solar system is a really lovely place to be Fallen, literally nothing goes right for you ever.

The meme schedule has been updated

Q1 2019: Acronyms for MOUNTAINTOP
Q2 2019: nothing, everyone plays Anthem for this season
Q3 2019: "why can't I hold all these Lines" but it's callout symbols for the Taken Leviathan lair
Q4 2019: Scooby-Doo "let's see who was under this mask" but it's The Darkness with the Hive underneath
Q1 2020: weird, the future sight machine can't see any further than this?

Anthem is gonna be a two week game. But you'll still have that one dude on your friends list playing it 6 months later and every time you ask them about it they insist it's a good game and you should try it again.

Technically they were mad that it "punished skilled play" by adding an anti-headshot incentive with the seekers, which was equally dumb and funny. Just want to correct the record here.

I shot them in the head anyways because the total amount of damage they dished out was still less if you killed them quickly. It didn't really change the game at all.

Also I was good at using fireteam members as human shields to soak up the seeker bomb thingy.

Lol, I remember in the early weeks when Vosik was slightly challenging and people would get SO MAD that "somebody's going for headshots what the gently caress guys I'm getting owned by seekers here!!!"

Clips like that just remind me how bungie doesn't play the same game we do.. they jump into a room and spray bullets everywhere and some people die.

The rest of us camp angles and try to pick off people that got impatient.

They're trying to make it look dynamic and badass, camping angles isn't dynamic and badass (although it's still weird to pick a clip where the player dies at the end (to a hazard of the cast, heh)).

The Mountaintop is a kinetic grenade launcher, yeah. Its unique perk is very high projectile speed and no arc.


e: If you meant the hand cannon at the end I don't think that was a brand new model, could have been a reuse for a new gun though

"Primary" means scout/auto/pulse/smg/sidearm/hand cannon. "Kinetic" means non-elemental damage.
