Re: Dude, you nailed MP for me (long reply)

In Response To: Dude, you nailed MP for me (long reply) (Revenant1988)


: I totally agree with what you have in this part: 343 tired to make gameplay
: and weapon perks canon and they can't be!

: -Speed and damage boost do not make sense!: How are you going to drop in
: something like that to a soldier in the battle field? Ok, you could argue
: that speed boost could be some kind of stimulant- fine, but what about
: damage boost? Why the fuck wouldn't you give that to them ALL the time???
: Immersion= lost.

Damage boost is one of the ones that makes little sense to me. For example, if I'm firing a DMR, how can I pick up something that suddenly increases how much damage my DMR does? It's the same weapon, same bullets. You can't argue 'oh better micro-aim for maximum damage' because we know that if you hit a player anywhere when they still have shielding it's the same damage. It can't be a weapon mod because it applies to all the weapons you're carrying and any you pick up during, and then it runs out over time rather than amount of ammo expend!

: - Weapon drops: These only make sense to me in wide open areas. Reach NAILED
: this part of the fiction. If something was dropped off to noble team or
: your spartan in Fire Fight a fighter actually streaked over your head and
: dropped it, or it came from an orbiting ship, MEANING it could only happen
: outside-

Well the exception to that was of course Glacier - they did just respawn.

: Extended sensors? Why wouldn't
: EVERY spartan have this?

This one I can believe requires more power-drain from the suit and you can only direct your excess power to one extra thing at a time, but the 'Awareness' one (Motion Tracker visible while scoped) then doesn't make sense from that perspective since it's a simple HUD alteration.

: They would have been
: better off leaving MP be it's own thing IMO. The way it is now really
: wrecks my enjoyment of the game.

: I know it sounds silly and I've ranted about it enough at this point but I am
: truly surprised at how much it bothers me. Totally caught me off guard.

Unfortunately it's one of those things we're just going to have to try and forget about...

: Good post RC, I feel better for venting now that I can describe it.

You're welcome :)
