Re: Modernized weapons in CEA?

In Response To: Modernized weapons in CEA? (Rockslider) : In the Halo Aniversary Exclusive , Bonnie Ross said they didn't touch the : gameplay, and Dan Ayoub indicated likewise. But to judge from the footage : so far, I think most CEA weapons are going to be something like in H3 or : Reach, rather than being re-skinned copies of the originals - and that's : going to make for significant differences in gameplay, both in terms of : tactics and enjoyment. : Me, I would've preferred the originals, those being a major part of why I : enjoy H1 combat so much more than that of H3. But I can see why 343i would : go for modernization. They've probably got a massive audience which joined : the franchise post-H1, and I imagine they were also influenced by : multiplayer issues. : As for some of the video evidence, for starters there's a needler being fired : at a leaping Elite in the brig of the Truth and Reconciliation, seen : around 0:55 in the Debut Trailer . It has considerably higher rate of : fire than the original, and the subsequent bang isn't the original sound : effect. I don't notice any needles in flight, but perhaps that's just due : to them going very fast and not having far to travel. : There's a bit of plasma rifle use around 0:49 in the hangar, but I don't hear : the old plasma rifle sound. I also can't see any plasma in flight, which : seems odd. : The AR around 0:54 sounds like the H3 version or later. That's the one weapon : I might actually have more fun with than the original, the latter having : always felt underpowered and imprecise (not that the H3 version did much : to address that). : Couldn't glean much for other weapons (not including the pistol, which they : seem to be making a special case for), but it seems a safe bet that those : would be modernized too. I really don't see any evidence for this at all. The Assault Rifle has 60 rounds. If they were modernizing the weapons, it would have thirty-two. And the needler seemed the same to me. I don't see them saying "Guys, the gameplay is exactly the same. Honest." And then going and changing the weapons. That's silly.
