Title updates may fix some issues.

In Response To: Re: I agree about the maps and some AA's. (uberfoop)


: Well, I do like a couple things. I agree that attenuating the effectiveness
: of melee and grenades to encourage gunplay is nice. And I do like the
: shot cadence more than Reach's (as long as we ignore the effect of sound
: design on that cadence).

: But then people talk about how the movement and run-and-gun feels good in the
: thick of pure rifle action, and I'm left a little confused. The base
: movement feels a lot like Reach's, quite sluggish, but if anything less
: responsive because of sprint's slowdown behaviour (which seems redundant
: with the fast kill times anyway). And the absurdly strong aim assist makes
: strafe less meaningful than ever.

: I think if the aim assist were dropped drastically and sprint was removed in
: favour of faster (and faster-accelerating) base movement, we'd start
: getting somewhere. Maybe long lines of sight wouldn't be so rapidly locked
: down, and rifle fights would be more lengthily active. As is, I don't feel
: like I'm actually doing much much of the time. Like, the game gets more
: intense when I get a sniper rifle, not because I start owning people, but
: because suddenly the aim assist is dropped and I want headshots with more
: consistancy, so I feel gloriously capable of missing a large fraction of
: my shots of my own accord beyond reasons like "the guy was cover
: shooting and only his forehead was visible."

: //====================

: Overall, I think the adjustments to the gunplay tried to fix a lot of the
: issues with Reach's, but without adjusting certain relevant factors (and
: in at least one way adjusting them in the wrong direction). It's better in
: some ways, but quite problematic in others.

343 said that they have several TU's in store. You had some really good ideas. I like Halo 4's core gunplay but my ideal Halo is Halo 3. H3 had great maps, great gameplay, great colors, great armor, great everything IMO.
