i think the BR can be a little anoying somtimes so i thought why not have a older version like a BR44 [HALO 2,3 WAS THE BR55] and make it single shot take a look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ncp-c8Dask

The new and improved BR is an older model? Yes, because that makes sense.

What I want to know is why does a headshot on someone with their shields still up drain more of the shield than if they were hit elsewhere on the body? The shield isn't weaker on the head, it's more powerful if anything. The hands and feet should be the weak spots whilst shields are up.

This is what happens when you venture into the public forums.

What are you talking about? When you 4-Shot someone, it's...body, body, body, head, not...head, head, head, head.

That may have been the case in Halo 2, but no longer.

I prefer that system - it's a situation where realism isn't so fun, players should be rewarded for accuracy. (Like how beat downs hurt more on the head in Halo 2 than on the body).

<3 the stories btw man

What I'm saying is...

Shields cover the entire body of the Spartan and the Elite. Now we all know for logical reasons that an unshielded enemy is vunerable to a headshot, due to the fact that well, the brain is a vital organ.

However, there is no reason that a shielded person should be vunerable in the head, because the shield covers the entire volume of the person with equal strength. The exceptions to this rule are the hands and feet, because if the hands were heavily shielded, you wouldn't be able to use weapons; and if the feet were heavily shielded, you'd have trouble walking.

In conclusion, a non shielded enemy should be vunerable to headshots. A shielded enemy shouldn't be vunerable anywhere, except the hands and feet, until their shields are taken down.

Think for a moment; it makes sense.

I love 4shots........but I much rather prefer a 1 shot from a rocket :)

The shield is fine. the BR should be worked on a little tho. I think they went overboard with the lead your shot thing. I like that you have to lead your shots but as you get further you have to lead it so much that its really not realistic AT ALL.
