Subject: About weapon lowering in Halo 4.

Ew, my username. :C

I came up with it when I was 10.

Copied from my own post over at Waypoint:

Alright, a little something that bothers me quite a lot:

When you lower your weapon, it temporarily goes up if you do anything other than stand perfectly still, look up/down, or turn slightly to the left or right (not enough to turn your body). It doesn't look good for machinimas. Plus the way to execute it isn't very visually appealing either (jump and crouch? What happened to down on the D-pad like in Halo 2?)

If you call me picky, then yes. Yes, I am.


What are your thoughts?

I was very angry at 343 for not lowering the guns (even though they promised) on multiplayer customs; not I have to take more camera angles and features to make my machinima a bit better.

I think weapon lowering is the last thing people should be complaining about as far as H4 (or any Halo) is concerned.

I think weapon lowering is stupid and has always been stupid.

no its legit, i used coordinates, set weapon timers the works.

I think you and a few others need to stop taking video games so damn serious.

I heard that if you turn off one of the controller settings then it won't raise when you walk.

I think making a Machinima is about as far from 'taking a game seriously' as you can get.

Let me get this straight out of all the issues with Halo 4 you are -blam!-ing about weapon lowering right? In that case what is wrong with you?

They said you can lower weapons over live. They did keep their promise, you can lower weapons over live in Forge.

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

With the way things are going for them, they might consider giving in to public demands.

I don't care about the other issues, since I don't play multiplayer. Campaign was decent. Leaves me with weapon lowering.
