Nope. Play the Team Anniv. Slayer. Increased movement, No AA's and 3 shot pistol with Bleedthrough.

Don't need anything new. You can play this on all the old maps just like they released the gametypes for the TU beta. I just tested them out and they work perfectly.

Screw this then.

Hopped over here to post this on B.net, thanks for saving me a job.

Just to say, the Pistol is AUTOMATIC when the trigger is held, the bloom, although shows, has no effect unless you are hold it down to be AUTOMATIC, tapping it as fast as possible makes no difference.

Also, the Needle Rifle is now a power weapon. It's bloomless, but has a Fixed RoF.

The gametypes have specific settings on them to recreate a more Classic feel, not just the 3SK Pistol.

*sigh* Seems like Waypoint is down for the site re-launch, I will be chilling here for a bit.

What's the fire rate? Like the DMR?

Faster than the DMR, but it still takes more shots to kill than DMR. DMR has 85% on it.

  • 11.14.2011 10:12 AM PDT

Yes, you are correct, I didn't test other weapons but it seems like ALL precision weapons have 85% bloom on them, the pistol however, is, different.

R.I.P. Halo 2 <33333333
Do not play halo much anymore. Barely ever come on here.

So...no ZB? Lamesauce.

Frank O'Connor said he doesn't think the Halo series needs to be taken in a radical new direction... it just needs to go "deeper"

"Ultimately the core game mechanic and strength of the universe doesn't need to be changed, it just needs to be taken deeper. We want to make Halo games - we don't want to make Call of Duty or Ridge Racer. We want to make Halo games because we understand what's special about Halo."

IT'S 120% speed and 110% shield recharge rate.

Pistol has bloom when using auto fire.

Try to spam it, you'll note that it shoots slower.

It's technically ZB when you don't use auto fire with the pistol.

It is lower than 85% bloom, that's all I gotta say.

My question still stands because I haven't played the TU playlist all but once.

Time in camo was reduced by 15 seconds, and you dont get bonus time for standing still.
