For example, I was playing Team Snipers. Got shot by a pisol 2-3 times, and 1 sniper bullet kills me.

Why the hell is this?

If I remember correctly, every Halo games its been 2 body shots. 1 if they have no sheild, 2 if they even have a bit of sheild.

So....

Beats me, they made bleedthrough practically universal. I feel like at times it's more random than bloom because even I'm surprised when I win gunfights that I really shouldn't have.

True, but this was in Reach since launch.

DMR bleed through is crap. A grenade that does a sliver of damage makes you opted to be 4 shotted.

I agree, I'm a nade magnet so I tend to be on the receiving end of most of those frantic spammed out 4 shots.

and come to think of it, yeah bullet bleedthrough has always been in snipers. Don't know what was going through their minds when they conceived that.

Grenades can be a pain for me sometimes. When you play a map like Zealot in MLG and you have top gold, it seems as if 4-8 nades will come your way. Its pretty hard to avoid being nicked by just one.

As for it being in this game, I don't get it either. The sniper is rather easy to use to begin with, so, why make it even easier?

Oh Reach. So much potential...

Don't play a lot of MLG, always figured nades would be less of a factor with the movement speed. But I see your point, especially if you're in a hot zone on the map.

It's like ever since players realized they get two grenades off spawn (Don't get me started) they've shifted to their left trigger instead of the right.

sigh

I'm not sure what the issue is here. You get shot a few times by a pistol and take a sniper bullet.

Why does the sniper bullet kill me when I have half sheilds and full health.

Correct me if I'm wrong, every Halo game before this, if you have sheilds, the first bullet would take that, before the second would kill you.

Well yes of course I do agree with you here but this way if I shoot someone with shots in them say in btb they die much quicker. Instead of having to two shot every single time if I miss the head. Which in Reach because of bad host happens very often.

I think you are incorrect.. I play H3 on occasion and you die from sniper shots when you're half shields.

Lol wtf are you smoking

The sniper has always had bleedthrough. I know for a fact that two BR shots and a sniper shot to the body would kill you in Halo 3.

Hence why I asked lol

My memory of Halo 2/3 are long and faded. I just never recalled it being like that.

the shield mechanics are terrible no matter how you look at it. That goes for Vehicles too.

Agreed. It makes it difficult to think up map ideas for forge, Sightlines, weapons, and vehicles all require extra thought.

LOL, people ask for bleedthrough, and now that it's here they whine about that too.

Once again, the irony is delicious.

I can honestly say, I didn't care for it being gone. 75% melee is much better IMO.

Gray socks are best socks. White is second, black third. Every other sock color is simply horrible.

It's been like that since launch with the sniper.

75% melee > Bleedthrough.

99% shields? Enjoy being 4 shotted.
