Re: I've got the answers...

In Response To: Re: I've got the answers... (Gravemind) : Or how about the oddness of the SMG? If the Chief, a friggin' Spartan-II, : cannot hold a single SMG steady with both hands, then Miranda should have : broken both her arms when she dual-wielded them in that one scene in Halo 2. : No normal person could withstand that much recoil if it gives a Spartan a hard time. I take that as not gameplay versus story but possible versus definite. By that I mean a Spartan II wouldn't have trouble getting through a few Grunts and Jackals but a player might, and I'm pretty sure they all have good aim but when you're playing they might fire a dozen rounds and hit nothing but air. The "possible versus definite" label is especially true because you (as a player) can fire SMGs for a prolonged time and keep your aim. : I actually fully understand the positives of no bleed-through. There's no : guesswork involved. With no bleed-through, I know that if my shields are : up, I can not die from a headshot from a DMR, NR, or pistol, but if my : shields have popped I know I am vulnerable to headshots. When the TU came : around an allowed for bleed-through, that certainty was replaced with : uncertainty for TU gametypes as bleed-through is universal to all attack. : For example, say the DMR does 20 HP of damage. My shields are low, but I : don't know if I have 22 HP of shields (in which case I'll survive if shot : in the face with a DMR) or 19 (in which case that DMR round will punch : through my shields and leave me with a big honkin' hold in my head). I would disagree here but I think the DMR and one or two other weapons might not bleed through from shields to health on non-TU gametypes even with the damage turned up... I guess I should repeat that test and save the film file. : With bleed-through disabled for all but the most powerful attacks (e.g., : explosives, sniper rifle rounds, and shotgun blasts), there is no : ambiguity or uncertainty, and a lot of people like that. case in point: this happens with the plasma pistol too, with regular damage : I find that the lack of a health meter is a very bad thing. It contributes to : that ambiguity and lack of certainty I was just talking about. I totally agree. If there's any way they can still add it in (maybe it was since the E3 build, which seems to be what's been used this whole time?), I really, really hope they do. I don't care if it regenerates automatically (well, not that much), I just know there will be some level of underlying health and it absolutely should be shown.

You cannot fall off the floor.
