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

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;36347010]So, if there's one thing I got from the gameplay so far, it's that the DMR sounds incredible.[/QUOTE] Wait until you hear it first hand in 7.1 audio. Assuming you have a 7.1 device. Well that goes for the entire game. The awesomeness of the audio is amazing.

I like that needler sound.

dat anatomy

[QUOTE=cowsaysoink;36350002]dat anatomy[/QUOTE] can't really blame him, halo 3 suits looked too skinny to hold a person, let alone a 7 foot buff super soldier

Does anyone else think the Storm Rifle doesnt really look like a Plasma Rifle? Also I think the Magnum doesnt need a scope, already have 3 scoped guns that you can spawn with. Would have liked to see the SMG and Plasma rifle in game as a more close quarter versions of the AR and SR.

Played some Reach today for the first time in ages, reminded me how much I love the Halo series. Can't wait for 4 to come out.

Those gameplay videos look incredible.

I just hope there's a large variation in weapons, like the spartan laser and other crazy weapons. I really liked that weapon.

[QUOTE=mac338;36356895]I just hope there's a large variation in weapons, like the spartan laser and other crazy weapons. I really liked that weapon.[/QUOTE] Spartan Laser was in a leaked image that has since been deleted.

I'm kinda confused. Is the scattergun replacing the normal UNSC shotgun? Will weapons like Fuel Rod, Gravity Hammer, Plasma Rifle/Pistol return?

I hope we get a gravity catapult. Like a weapon that catapults a ball that on impact works like a gravity hammer. That would be awesome. [editline]16th June 2012[/editline] Or a weapon that fires sausages on constant intervals so that the map slowly fills up with sausages and the round is over when everyone's drowned in sausages. [editline]16th June 2012[/editline] I call it "the sausage gun"

[QUOTE=Raijin;36357232]I'm kinda confused. Is the scattergun replacing the normal UNSC shotgun? Will weapons like Fuel Rod, Gravity Hammer, Plasma Rifle/Pistol return?[/QUOTE] It replaces it in terms of it being a power weapon but the Shotgun still is in the game.

I don't like how they seem to have dropped the smg. It found its balance with the new 32 round AR: Less power more dakka

[QUOTE=Irespawnoften;36357307]I don't like how they seem to have dropped the smg. It found its balance with the new 32 round AR: Less power more dakka[/QUOTE] Yeah its like they've just forgotten it ever existed. I remember they took it out of Reach because they said "its useless without dual weilding" that pissed me off because I never use it dual weilded.

Halo wars is p. fun to play, shame that it requires the gold live account to play on the internets. Atleast there's skirmish mode.

[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;36358224]Er...yeah. That was my point, it's in the game.[/QUOTE] He was just giving you some official confirmation, don't sweat it.

Guys, is Halo 2 Legendary much harder than the other Halo games, or is difficult because Im using a mouse? I have been stuck on the first mission for months, and I promised myself not to read the last Halo books I bought (Glasslands, Primordium and many comics) until i beat it on Legendary.

(Scroll down a bit.)[/QUOTE] I find it interesting that the covenant weapons now have suppliers listed and more detailed technical specifications, are humans now buying these weapons from the groups that made them for the covenant? I haven't checked the Halo 3 manual (Only the Reach/CEA/2 manuals), but I remember them basically saying it was unknown how they worked or who made them.

No one is going to come out from the Covenant side and say, Hey! You need to know about our guns? It could also just be 343 adding more details into the Halo universe.
