Why is the reticle not center again on this halo????

  • 03.04.2010 9:57 AM PDT

I don't post on forums like ever but this is worth posting something. I got to say I'm a little worried about this game. Not into jet packs at all, looks like there's a lot of heavy weapons that require zero skill to use, and I have to agree with another post vehicle explosions are ugly and it looks like you die a lot more than in the other halos I loved the challange and feeling of only getting 1 or 2 deaths a game. But that's nothing compared to how much I like everything else. I have complete faith in bungie that they will make things balanced and make sure that there will be skill involved in this game. I have LOVED every halo game they have made an I'm sure ill love this one to.

Dear bungie its time for a flyable pelican iv been wating since halo 1.....now I realize that it would be hard to put in multiplayer and make it balanced but in single player would be great.

This only pertains to the armor abilities, not to the starting weapons. That is what makes CoD so unbalanced. Bungie realizes that having people spawn with different weapons will throw off the balance of the game
Starting with whatever gun you choose is not unbalanced. Sure, you can start with a sniper rifle, but anything thats not a SMG, Pistol, or Shotgun can kill snipers quite easily. The only advantage the sniper rifle has is that it can see targets at range easier. But if you know where the sniper is at (which is quite easy in most games), you can take him down really easy in CoD.

What would make it unbalanced in Halo is that the Sniper is a superior weapon. But as we already know, who uses something other than a BR or Sniper in Halo anyway? You already start with the Number 2 weapon in a lot of halo matches, why not let you start with the number 1 weapon as well?

EDIT: Notice how most of my posts gravitate toward the point of BR/Sniper? You already know it, but you just don't like hearing it the way I say it, because I say it a negative way. The BR and Sniper are too freaking broken. Other weapons need to be able to compete with them. Otherwise, those weapons are just taking up space (both disk and RAM wise) that could be used for other means.

As for the rather vocal and impassioned responses about Loadouts being Perks/Equipment, You can't claim its equipment just as we cant claim its a perk (however the name LoadOUT lends a little more credence to it being a prematch choice, since loadouts are something you take in to the field).

im sorry to say this but you are an idiot....
stop comparing this game to COD, call of duty is STUPID and bungie knows this so they are not making it like cod. halo is such a completely different game they dont even come close....and starting with whatever gun you want is unbalanced in halo it doesnt -blam!- ing matter if its balanced in COD or not it will not work for this game. and would you people stop saying they will be like perks! they said it will be like equipment in halo 3 that you pick up

I love you Bungie. I have ever since Halo:CE. But now, you've really earned it.

It looks like you guys are realizing the bar that I wanted Halo:CE to reach. CE originally intrigued me because of it's similarity to Tribes 2 (My favorite game of all time). T2 was getting out of date looking, but the gameplay could not be beat. First FPS I know of to have vehicles. It looks as though you have taken many cues from that wonderful but outdated game. I'm wondering if you have some the guys who worked for Sierra/Dynamix working on REACH with you? I hope so. I love those guys. They deliver.

Loadouts: In T2 there were inventory stations you could run over to loadout with different weapons, nades, packs, and regenerate health and ammo. There were three armor classes, light, medium, and heavy. The lighter the more agile your character ws but the less damage you can take and less ammo you could carry. Heavy aromor was slower, stronger and carried more ammo. You get the idea...

Generators: T2 Powered things like inventory stations, vehicle spawning stations, base shields, and automated base turrets. These were key to protect in order to keep your teams strength up.

Jetpacks: Allowed for multi-level fighting and you could 'ski' across a map by alternating jumping and propulsion. Jetpacks were the key element to the fun that was T2.
&
Packs: Speed, Shield, (Jet), Camo, (< >)... I believe the X10 Alpha interviews say that this (beta) is a limited set of attachments. But if we can take a cue from T2 then chances are the (< >) is expansion for carring more ammo, and I'd like to see a repair pack used to repair generators, turrets, vehicles and teammates.

Active Roster is genius. It's makes for a much more balanced experience.

Headhunter also reminds me of an old T2 gametype called Hunters. Just flags instead of Skulls. Every kill you get earns you a skull, the idea is to accumulate the skulls and drop them off at a point station. If you get killed before you return to the station you lose your skulls. The more you can bring back the better the point multiplier. So if you're good you risk staying on the field longer for more skulls.

I believe in you Bungie. I've always wanted a newer better T2 and it looks like you guys are going to deliver. I love your products and have faith that you will execute REACH with all your graces at making enjoyable balanced games. Thanking you now... before I even get to play it.

BTW I am not accusing you of ripping anything off, I want REACH to be what only BUNGIE can deliver!

People always ask me," What's a Bluesaucer? What kinda Gamertag is that? "

Beats me.

I was a little skeptical about this game, but that looks awesome. Kudos to you Bungie.

Does gravity hammer mean brutes in the campaign? or are they just for grifball?

Either way, epic bungie....just epic

This game will utterly change the whole outlook on the halo universe. Yes you still have basically the same enemies, but they look different, fight different, and possible sound different. Plus you have new weapons, old weapons(that are upgraded), and a new style. So, if you agree, then you have, in my own opinion, good thoughts of this game, plus the effect that it will undoubtedly have.




I was reading another post, and I have to agree, it is time for a flyable PELICAN in the campaign.

You quote me, then you don't address what you quoted. Then you throw a hissy fit and wont form coherent thoughts, resorting to profanity and name calling. This is not the way to make a post (much less a well constructed, insightful one).

i was using your quote as an example that people are comparing this game to other stupid games and saying things that arent true. i dont care if my post is well constructed im just calling out the people making dumb comments.
like you saying that being able to pick your starting weapons wouldnt be unbalanced cuz its quite the opposite....just stop talking and i wont haveto use profanity

hello and welcome to my little profile page make your self at home and while your here maybe you can check out my service record or the group I'm in Firstclass Photographers and have a good day

that Was AWESOME!!!

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Crazy awesomeness.

Jetpacks are sketchy though. Not sure how that will affect game play, Too easy to board vehicles or get past enemies to objectives?

Well, that's what beta is for.

Looks positively amazing!


Bungie, what do you mean by "loadouts"?
Look at the spartans when it says loadouts. One spartan is cloaking. The other on ground is moving faster than the cloaking one. And the third has a Jetpack. There are others if you pay attention to the trailer.

This is the customization in how you play the game (perks/equipment choices if you're familiar with CoD). Yes, I said it, what makes CoD really popular is you can tailor the gameplay experience: A lesson Bungie is fortunately taking to heart.

Hey, if there is one thing i like about halo, its that everyone starts out with the same stuff and has to run around and look for better stuff. If Bungie made it so that you can start with different stuff than anyone else I might as well just play cod.

i think a lot of people are getting confused with the new armor abilities in the video.
some people are saying its perks like stupid COD and some people are saying they are just armor perks.
if you guys payed attention you would know that they said it will be like equipment from halo 3 that you pick up!!! not god d@mn perks like COD so stop saying that. its getting quite annoying

Listen to this guy, he is right. Bungie wouldn't ruin the balance of the game and have people start out with whatever loadout you want. You will need to pick it up. If anything you might start out with a basic loadout specified in game options like sprint or something. That could be really use full to hard core game customizers.

Bungie did do a great job don't you think that the stick grenade launcher was un far realy that would be the the new noob tools, also why does halo need a regular granade launcher it has heavy weaponry what else do you want the game will be death after death and there will be no need for skill to kill someone like in halo 3 were you had a br. and a ar. to start out with and a few extra weapons here and there but reach is going to have more rounds in the sniper and bigger bullits so nobody would have to aim any more to get a good headshot.
This is what i think a problem is and think they should fix. Remember this is a sugestion not a command


i dont understand how people are complaining about this at all. first of all the grenade launchers you are saying will be unfair and there is already heavy weaponry but cmon its halo.....they will make everything balanced. i dont think they would put in things to make it so player wont need skill to play, none of the games have been like that. they are giving us new toys to play with whats to complain about! this is exactly what i was disappointed in with halo 3. to me theyr werent enough new weapons. and if you watch the video closely you see the sniper has the same amout of bullets and who said they are bigger? dont know what ur smoking but it is messin with ur brain

Also by guessing, they might be making the grenade launcher to replace the brute shot. It might me more power full than the bs but you have to reload every time.

I actually agree with he guy you just said had a "hissy fit" you are an idiot. Stop posting on Bungie forms and go back to cod. Halo is balanced because everyone has to find better weapons. In what world is a one shot one kill sniper (with a body shot) fair and balanced. cod sucks everyone just runs around with dueled rangers that are somehow can hit someone a mile away. Halo is balanced cod isn't.
