Re: Solo game play

In Response To: Solo game play (Lawnmower172) : played three iterations on solo, heroic Hardcore dude :) : Weapon loadouts: NO ROCKET LAUNCHER! RL is a noob weapon. Plus you have so many grenades with catch on anyway... : I would drop the PP from the Deceiver, as these are easy : to acquire. The idea with the Deceiver loadout is if you get pushed back to your spawn, perhaps by some Elites, and you don't have time to get a PP, that you can have one right there. I dub it the 'oh crap' loadout. Or that if you're rocking the Combos anyway, you can spawn with it straight away and get back to work if you don't mind not having a power weapon. : give the Corpsman a human pistol. I don't want to underpower any of the loadouts... the pistol has very limited ammo and the function is already fulfilled by the DMR. : Armor abilities: Great call on the jet pack. Same reason as it wasn't in FF Limited: to cut access to AFK spots. I have nothing against the AA itself. : I would ditch active camo for evade. Enemy AI seem : to remain fairly unfazed by active camo, while evade would reinforce a : more aggressive defense and act as a nice compliment to sprint. I think Evade is TOO good for a Spartan (I rarely used anything else in the gametypes it was in). It also doesn't appear as an AA in campaign and it's use in multiplayer for spartans is dubious at best. I wanted to aim for something that kept that experience consistent. AC has it's uses when you break LoS and can surprise the enemy and get shots in without response. : Wave progression: One minor adjustment: the all jackal marksman wave was : right before an elite wave. That meant there were no PPs in the wave : preceding an elite wave. Perhaps a minor adjustment is in order. Noted. I'll have a look. : An oddity I noticed is that this game type didn’t seem to deload dropped : weapons as aggressively as normal FF. That was generally helpful, : especially when retrieving a weapon from a dead teammate. Might be to do with the lack of the ammo crate and the weapon drops. *shrugs*
