ookk..if mc has super strength armor then why will he have recoil? the armor should take the impact and keep the gun steady?? and if cortana is "in" the mc cant she just zoom every weapon? in first strike, ais on board ships would make trajectory points or something...cant cortana do that for the mc

I HAVE TO HAVE TO AGREE ON YOU WITH A THAT ONE, FROM THE LOOKINGS OF THE E3 04 DEMO IT IS LOOKS THAT YOU HAVE TO RECOIL WHEN U DOUBLE WELDED THE SMG AND THE NEEDLER. IT LOOKS TO ME IT IS GOING TO SUK

You do now have binoculars with every weapon without zoom (but you cannot fire zoomed like that), and as for the no recoil, I totally agree.

Ignore soviet jackal, he is a damn -blam!- spammer.

Cortana couldn't do that for Master Chief, she would need to see the Covies first, and couldn't help you shoot them if she did see them.

Recoil is good, it makes spawn camping harder.

It isn't necessarily recoil, perhaps the new sniper uses larger bullets, but only has two to a clip.

Well, there shouldn't be recoil, but there should be accuracy inconsistencies, and shooting automatic weapons rapidly should have recoil (as it already does). I just think they should increase the accuracy inconsistancies, especially while moving (and also make the pistol way less accurate).

No, otherwise he wouldn't be able to operate without Cortana. Cortana is just there to aid him with battle intel.

all of you stfu!!! if there was NO recoil people will -blam!- about that too! so just be happy that so many other great features are in the game and there is just one small thing like recoil you complaining s.o.bs

Exactly, the way point feature was part of the HUD, it just she puts in the co-ordinates for the way points, I don't think she draws them.

Edit: ummmm... we're not complaining, are we? You sound like you are complaining on the other hand..

She couldn't, but I think the HUD could. We have 5x zoom with any weapon any way in Halo 2, and I think he had a zoom like that in the books too, not sure.

Hacking and intel, and she might boost the MC's reflexes... I can't remember, but I remember it saying something about that in TFOR.

The weapon would have to have a chip in it or something because she can only hack

Well, in the books he actually has a reticule drawn in onto his HUD. It probably works with the positioning of his hands and has some sort of sensors in his suit.

if you have seen some the e3 04 game play vids there was a guy duel wielding a SMG and a Needler, then he shot with both and the aiming thing went up as he shot.

guys, chill out, it's a fukin videogame. Do you think its realistic that in MP you keep coming back to life no matter how many times you die. Or when you fall for a certain amount of time you just automatically die, or when Mc weighs like 2 tons and when he gets in a jeep the suspension doesn't sink, or how he magically stores weapons when he switches from weapon to weapon, or how a jeep moving 2 miles an hour can still kill you, or how a pistol can kill someone in 3 shots when an assault rifle takes a whole clip to do the same amount of work, or how a pistol has a longer range than an assault rifle.
It's a fukin video game.

In the book (TFOR, and maybe the new one?) it says that the MC's armour can have an AI intigrate into the comm. systems and outer systems but can't get into the movement CP. because it is an idependent system hardend from hacking.
For the recoil, my theory is that it may just be the weapon, the chief may just have to let it move to prevent say... metal fatique. and as for the inconsistant fire all guns don't hit there mark 100% of the time because of outside effects.
(ALL THIS IS OPINION!!!)
