BF2S Forums [Halo 4] Announced

I'm loving the new AR, it's fucking beast. Also the only problem I've seen with the needler so far is that it only has enough ammo for 2 kills. Other than that I'm loving it. Also the promethean sniper rifle is awesome, loving the OHK on it.

Spartan Ops isn't great at all.

Matchmaking also pisses me off now that you get thrown into games that are mid-way through, which is 90% of the time a guaranteed loss as losers quit.

I'm still kicking ass, though.

I also can't play Campaign or Spartan Ops co-op, because the lag is just insane.

I just picked up a copy for $20 because of a scratch on the disc than made it unreadable.  Put my car polisher on it for a few seconds and it's all good to go.

Working on getting my XIM2 dialed in 100% so the mouse feels 1:1,   almost there, so far it's been fun.

i want a XIM so bad, but a) it's kind of expensive and b) i would feel like a dickhead using it because it's just that unfair

I bought mine years ago when BC2 was about to come out.  Didn't have money for a capable PC and game pads are impossible for me so it was the best option (apart from just not playing games).   

The newest version (XIM Edge) is $90. So over the years the product has become much easier to use and less expensive.   It's a good option if you don't want to build a PC and are partial to a M&K.      Unfair?  mmmmaaaybe, but being a dickhead on console is kinda standard so I don't see any harm in it.


Edit:  The XIM Edge also works on PS3.

yeah the $90 one is the one i was looking at. so tempting...

Just seems wrong to play a console game with anything but a controller.

I'm all for mouse and keyboard, but with a console-only game such as Halo, it has to be a controller. Why play it otherwise? How did you get in to it if you find controllers "impossible"? Both take good skill to use to play to a good standard. I wouldn't get the same enjoyment I do from beating kids using a $90 easy-mode.

My opinion, anyway.

Exile map is kinda bullshit, Scorpion has no place in that map and I hate blue team having the Gauss hog. Don't give me that "scorpion is closer to red team's base" crap, that's not real balance, plus scorpion is bleh in that map anyway. 2 Gauss hogs would of been much more fun.

As for loadouts, I like them, although I'd prefer if they had classic halo gamemodes to have the old style as you mentioned spear.

DMR is kinda overpowering. Quite frankly I hate how ranged weapons have a slight edge over assault "rifles", especially with the DMR. It is fairly balanced, but combat kinda favors long range. The sword, hammer, and shotguns are worthless most of the time as most of the maps are just too damn big for proper close combat.

Ordnance drops are nice, just don't like how you still get a hammer, sword, or shotgun as an option in a big map that encourages long range(and there are many)

Don't mind the addition of the alien weapons, light rifle is kinda dumb being a DMR/BR hybrid but all the others are fine and add their own style. The pulse grenade is absolute shit though, shittiest grenade to go for of the 3, not to mention you spawn with 1 less grenade if you pick that as your grenade compared to the other grenades.

Some other things I could talk about the game, but I'll keep my peace for now.

There are plenty of places for sword and shotguns, outside of the BTB, Dominion and CTF playlists.

I've used a sword for all 10 hits many-a-time.

But hammer is a terrible weapon.

They also fucked up the whole "balanced encounter" now between a guy with a sword/shotgun vs a guy with a shotgun/sword. In Reach, it was perfected so that the person who fired first, even by the tiniest bit would remain alive, but now it just goes back to the old days and kills you both.

So retarded.

Yeah, especially when the other has fired more bullets in to the other.

If you don't play, don't chime in with pointless crap.
