The Halo Thread V8: Nooo Mongoose, Come Back! - Games

KSI still exists? Thats a clan i havent heard in a long time...

They're a shadow of their former glory.

I wish I still had my 360, I'm getting a Halo itch since all the new Halo 4 stuff that's been going around.

Surprised this wasn't posted, at least for video base: Halo 4 MP Part 1: [video=youtube;LqeQgJfRanA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqeQgJfRanA&list=PL65DF39CD842430DA&index=10&feature=plcp[/video] Halo 4 MP Part 2: [video=youtube;PcJx0f-lXBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcJx0f-lXBE&list=PL65DF39CD842430DA&index=4&feature=plcp[/video]

Halo always is a staple for laughing my ass off in multiplayer. the game is 10 x more fun when you and youre friends dont give a shit and dick around in big team battles.

Reminds me of the time when Reach had only been out for a bit and a bunch of us got on BTB and just used bubble shields and decoys :v:

God I can't wait. I want to see more forge footage.

The assassination is 25 minutes in for anyone that wants to see it.

The Cosplays at around 40mins are awesome as well.

Except for that guy way to the right haha

That machine gun is the coolest fucking thing ever

[QUOTE=Kabstrac;36797689]Anyone else use holograms in competitive MP? I do, I find it works pretty well as a psychological tool[/QUOTE] The cool thing about Halo 4's Holograms is you get distraction bonuses if your opponents fall for the distraction.

[QUOTE=Kabstrac;36797726]So, I guess it tracks it based on if I kill someone who attacked my hologram?[/QUOTE] No. You start scoring when someone attacks the hologram.

[QUOTE=Kabstrac;36797689]Anyone else use holograms in competitive MP? I do, I find it works pretty well as a psychological tool[/QUOTE] I use holograms, but I've found that after almost two years, people have gotten wise to them. Thankfully, holograms have a less practical use of being an in-game avatar viewer for when you want to look at your armour. Neato!!

If any of you are new to Halo (3 or Reach), and want to step up your game a little bit, send me a PM. I've been teaching a few people some of the finer points of Halo (strafing, nades, map control, etc.) and I don't mind teaching a few more. If you're not confident in your gameplay, send me a message as well. If you're not sure, I don't mind playing a few matches to gauge where you are. I'm also looking for some friendly 1v1s. [editline]16th July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Kabstrac;36798003]I don't know about that, I can still get people to attack them with ease. Not a lot of people use them I find, so that helps me.[/QUOTE] The trick to hologram is using them where it'd make sense to simply run across an area. Sending them cross map doesn't make too much sense, but if you're on Sword Base you could send them from the top of green lift over to the camp room for some slickness. (Other way probably works better now that I think about it).

I remember the Hologram trick of looking down when someone sees you to get your hologram to stay still where you are and running across pretending to be the hologram. [editline]16th July 2012[/editline] Continually sending holos across the canyon in Team Snipers and then pretending to be a holo when an enemy thinks you're just holospamming was an interesting tactic too.

I use holograms for tricking wraiths, usually they try killing everybody so they don't get hijacked, you can distract them for long enough for somebody else to hijack it. Most people don't use it, and I even had somebody claim I was hacking because I split in two.

You have to admit, there's a decent sized playerbase that joined after Bungie made holograms seldom appear in loadouts in a playlist update back in 2011.

So do bodies disintegrate now? I dont like that.

[QUOTE=ShadowSocks8;36802630]So do bodies disintegrate now? I dont like that.[/QUOTE] Only with Promethean weapons, I think.

[QUOTE=ShadowSocks8;36802630]So do bodies disintegrate now? I dont like that.[/QUOTE] Promethean weaponry was design to destroy the flood. Disintegrating ensures the destruction of the target with no chance of spreading spores.

[QUOTE=ShadowSocks8;36802630]So do bodies disintegrate now? I dont like that.[/QUOTE] Only with Promethean weapons, oddball skull and flags.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;36803032]Only with Promethean weapons, oddball skull and flags.[/QUOTE] I understand why the Oddball disintegrates due to its Promethean-like appearance, but I'm a bit lost as to why the flag does. It looks like the same human flag from before.
