WhiteWolf Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Halo 4 dropped stasis gun to make the game less sci-fi http://www.shacknews.com/article/78515/halo-4-dropped-stasis-gun-to-make-the-game-less Halo 4 could havehad a stasis gun. Or a "grapple harpoon." But these weapons were taken out in an effort to make the game more accessible and less sci-fi. Franchise creative director Josh Holmes told GDC audiences that "when we started out, I was really pushing the team to go in a very sci-fi direction. I wanted to embrace the sci-fi nature of the enemies and explore concepts that were outside the box for Halo, things that you'd never seen before in the Halo sandbox." Unfortunately,the more sci-fi concepts didn't resonate with players. "What we found as we were testing these weapons with players, the really deep sci-fi approach wasn't relatable. As a result, they weren't really gravitating to these weapons." "It really sucks when you're making new weapons and no one wants to use them," Holmes added. Eventually,343 Industries had to make sure that all the weapons in the game could be understood by players immediately. For example, the scattershot is "at it's core, a shotgun," even if it does disintegrate enemies. The other weapons that made Halo 4's final roster all have immediately understandable real-world counterparts, like a sniper rifle or an assault rifle. "One of the barriers to entry with Halo is that it is sci-fi," Holmes pointed out. "It's had a very steep learning curve that's turned off a lot of players."

ScrewyAurum Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Battle Rifle Buffed from a FIVE SHOT KILL to a FOUR SHOT KILL and Rate of Fire reduced The Battle Rifle shipped as a FIVE SHOT KILL when Halo 4 released on November 6th, it was intended to be the go-to weapon for close to medium range, however the DMR was still beating this weapon at said range. To remedy this, the Battle Rifle is intended to become aFOUR SHOT KILL with a reduced Rate of Fire. This means that the Battle Rifle will now require three bursts to the body, and one shot to the head to kill. LightRifle Adjusted range at which the reticule turns red to match the DMR’s The LightRifle has been generally pushed aside by the community because of its alien-like feel and how awkward it is to shoot, however, once you begin to use it, it becomes a pretty viable weapon, and this change will make it even more viable. This change means that when you begin getting the aim assist on a player has been tweaked to match the DMR. Covenant Carbine Buffed from an EIGHT SHOT KILL to a SEVEN SHOT KILL When Halo 4 launched, the Covenant Carbine was pushed to the side just like the LightRifle, however this time, it was because of how weak it was for the skill required to use the weapon. To remedy this, the Covenant Carbine is going to become a SEVEN SHOT KILLcompared to the prior EIGHT SHOT KILL. Assault Rifle, Storm Rifle and Suppressor All have received a damage buff and auto aim reduction Due to the precision rifle changes, the automatic weapons became weak at CQC as the precision rifles were outshooting them. To remedy this, all of the above weapons have received a slight damage buff, alongside an auto aim reduction to make the weapons harder to use, but reward those who learn how to use them effectively. Beam Rifle Aim assist reduction Anyone who has picked up the Beam Rifle in Halo 4 will have noticed that just not using the scope is a lot easier than scoping in, this is due to the weapons high aim assist when unscoped. This is planned to be changed so you won’t be constantly snapshotting people without putting much effort into aiming. Warthog & Mantis Chaingun Both will be receiving a damage buff Vehicles have always played a huge part in Halo, ever since Halo: Combat Evolved. However, the Warthog & Mantis currently don’t perform as well as expected in terms of their chainguns. Both of them will be tweaked to receive damage buffs to make them a lot more deadly and hopefully feared in big team gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Vehicles have always played a huge part in Halo, ever since Halo: Combat Evolved. However, the Warthog & Mantis currently don’t perform as well as expected in terms of their chainguns. No. They dont perform well cause people can spawn with Plasma pistols. Which is fine by me cause they were way OP in H3. Both of them will be tweaked to receive damage buffs to make them a lot more deadly and hopefully feared in big team gameplay. Dream on!

ScrewyAurum Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 No, go with Bioshock as to fully appreciate Halo 4's campaign not only will you need to have played the prior games but more importantly you need to know a significant part of the universe covered in the books. And also as you prefer the COD/KZ type MP, you won't be turned around by this games MP (Even though its the most CODified Halo, more so than reach).

ScrewyAurum Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 To be honest the campaign is fun and Its visually stunning too but you will feel lost most of the time with the events and characters thrown there. On the MP side, if you like the Halo reach style gameplay you will like halo 4. And as you said you enjoy the COD type gameplay, well it won't be that fast but you will be reminded of it. The MP is solid even though its not proper Halo MP. And the second half of the Spartan Ops season one is great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRMNTR Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I'm good. Not been able to get time for Halo for awhile now. Might come online sometime next week. Even I don't get the time to play -- at all. Stupid work! Plus, my brother is off to Hyderabad for his MBA. No more Halo for him -- or video games in general -- at least for a while. Lemme know when you'll be coming online. I'll try to join. Maybe even JD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
