Possibly key point to make?
Posted By: uberfoop <atkinso2@seattleu.edu>Date: 1/5/12 8:46 p.m.

In Response To: Re: Just awful. (Phoenix_9286)


: You write off Automatic weapons like they're some sort of inferior form of
: combat, yet many of the most interesting battles I ever had were in Combat
: Evolved, where the Assault Rifle was always a starting weapon, and the
: Pistol was treated like a sidearm, not a hand cannon.

Halo 1 also operates on a totally different melee system approach. In the newer games, the melee is so strong and easy with its lunge that the typical approach is spam, blitz, punch, and I understand why a lot of people hate this. It's not impossible to do that in Halo 1, sure, but the whole "blitz and punch" part isn't quite as all-encompassing and ridiculous, especially since the Halo 1 assault rifle chews through health really fast without the need for a melee.

While it would obviously be too large of a change to justify, I wouldn't mind it at all if the TU had buffed the AR by buffing the AR, rather than by buffing the melee. I also wouldn't mind if the melee was made far weaker. I like a good AR battle, but a truly "good" AR battle is hard to come by in Halo's 3 and Reach. And this is coming from someone who uses the AR a lot.

//============

Though I'm not sure where you're coming from on claiming that the Halo 1 pistol was treated as a sidearm. Like in any other Halo game, the precision weapon is the general-purpose tool. The M6D isn't as absurd as the Anniversary Slayer magnum, due to all the other non-power weapons being total crap in the Reach gametype, but it's a powerful and versatile gun.
