Halo 2 will not have leading, do you know why? Because the sniper rifle is about 500+ years more advanced than our own sniper rifles, and in turn would be faster, stronger, and deadlier. Also, there is lead in Halo 2, if you have played Coag or a really big level, you have to lead the shot. Or, if they are in a vehicle, and driving at a certain angle, you must lead then to hit them.
End of that topic, now let's get back on topic.
No, not the end of that topic. It's clear you don't know what we're discussing, and that you've never played Halo PC long enough or not at all if you don't know what we're talking about.
We're not talking about leading our shots while taking in factors of wind, distance, etc., we're talking about leading our shots in order to compensate for latency itself. Halo PC's netcode is so frigged up that it forces you, even with a fast internet connection, to fire your projectiles ahead of the direction they are going.
If you wanted to three shot kill a player and they were running to the right, what one must do is aim the reticule about an inch or so (depending on your ping) to right of the player's head. If you shot him directly it would have no effect whatsoever, you have to aim ahead of him because you and the host server does not synchronize correctly like it should. But otherwise, sniper rounds or pistol bullets reach their destination almost instantaneously.
Yes, but seriously, let's not get off-topic.
I think that we should have achievements for the level of difficulty one achieves the Campaign. Maybe a large achievement for Legendary and smaller achievements for the easier difficulties?
