Hologram is the only loadout that doesn't screw up Halo gameplay.

Didn't you read my wall?

I read it. I don't think those issues are as significant in FFA Slayer. Invis maybe, but DS?


DS would create a ClusterF everywhere

If you want it to be "Halo", remove all AAs.


Were you just trying to try something new?

Trying to average all of the Halos. Trying to get the feel Bungie intended with Reach, alongside the feel I enjoyed in the previous titles.

Pop-pop-bam!
*Mindfreak!*

But seriously, if somebody is parked in a bubble is it really that hard to pop it? You make is sound like shield doors=invincibility or something. And it's not like you couldn't just get your own cqc weapon and join them in the bubble. AC would help with that.

Dont take this the wrong way, but when you play with people who actually know what they are doing, its not that easy.

It is with every weapon that only fires bullets.

The only thing that can take it down in less than 5 seconds are tank shots.

All hand held weapons will take about as long is it's normal lifespan and the person inside can just wait on the edge for you to attempt to come in and then kill you with a melee or shotty pellets as soon as you have barely gotten in.

Dropshield = bad for gameplay.

Hmm. Fair enough. I suppose I'll pull it. It's a shame it's cooldown is so damn fast. If it wasn't essentially a perpetual bubble shield it would work so much better.

By easy he means Drop shield throws wrenches into fast paced Halo gameplay and makes it screech to a halt.

Then the radiator explodes and spills billowing steam water everywhere which gives all the pros that were playing horrific burns.

Someone calls the emergency response and they have to get skin grafts to save their faces and arms.


Drop shield is banned from Halo for this.

Meh - hologram is my favorite anyway, so that works out.

  • 02.27.2012 10:31 PM PDT

There - updated - no loadouts - everybody gets a hologram. Kinda reminds me of the Counter-strike sprays.

Now is it the greatest gametype?

I've read about Gold Pro a couple times, but I can't find the gametypes.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

- 300% movement
- no shields
- 500% damage resistance
- slow moving projectile weapon starts
- custom power up gives you non regenerating shields
I call it Quake.
