Victory Element

Adapt or die If halo just doesn't suit your tastes anymore, you are under no obligation to continue playing it. You're entitled to your opinions though, and I don't disagree with everything you say. But I've learned as time goes on, and sometimes if you can't beat them, you gotta join them

AR is the easiest to use, after I've spent a decent amount of time experimenting with each automatic. I once used it as my secondary full time until I got weapon mastery for it But more recently, my preference has been the storm rifle. I decided to use it mainly because it's pretty rare to come across, and it lasts surprisingly long when used with the ammo perk. This weapon definitely takes time to realize its full potential, but when used right it will leave your enemy with devastating consequences. As most experienced halo players know, plasma weapons break shields like crazy. By knowing how to navigate the map right, you can draw opponents into more confined spaces and unleash a devastating volley of blue death on them. It's works best when fired in controlled bursts to maintain accuracy and prevent the overheat effect. The downside of it is the expected lack of range, but it also gets you a lot of assists. Teammates easily pick off the targets that you've already weakened, but this shouldn't matter if you're a team player

I really like this idea for a thread. It showcases a lot of the diversity on the site and allows us to share some of our non-gaming interests with others. @Zoobkillerninja I liked the new stuff you showed me. Love the lyricism for a change. Heres some more stuff (I'm going I consolidate it to save space on the thread)

I find my tastes in rap with positive messages. (yes, it does exist ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpke_zl0vVA

I can't agree more. And the armor attachments had much more personality than the skins in halo 4

Like p34nut said earlier, try to use a grenade to pop his shields. That will likely take away most or all of his shields, leaving 1 or 2 head shots for a quick kill. And if you will be using the resupply perk, go scavenge your opponent's nades before they respawn. Know the map, or try to adapt quickly. You want to have a good vantage point while not exposing yourself too much. And don't stick to a single spot for too long, because your opponent will always know where you are and they will eventually flank you. Try to nab any possible power weapons and do not let your enemy get to them as well

I liked reach's graphic elements that seemed more "rag tag" and scrappy because it really emphasizes humanity's technological gap from the covenant. It made the game seem realistic in my opinion. But considering that humans have evolved a great deal since chief was in cryo sleep, I think we will continue to see more futuristic, majestic themes. For landscapes, I think we've experienced enough forerunner architecture so far in the series. And most fans probably won't want to relive the "Cortana" mission from halo 3 in bowels of flood territory. I despise that mission..... But anyways, I think more urban environments are the way to go. The places in ODST were unique, as well as the mission "Exodus" from reach. I also really liked the first mission of halo 4 out in space trying to gain control of the UNSC ship. The tight corridors and enclosed environment adds a lot of suspense. But just to keep things spaced out, I think a cool sandbox type battlefield would be Egypt (no pun intended ). Using vehicles to fight off enemies in a large, open space full of ancient Egyptian ruins sounds like a classic halo experience Varying weather conditions and time of day would also add a unique twist to the franchise

I think I should play with you guys sometime, but I mean cooperatively . I've never been fond of challenging other players and I never have before, so I'd like to keep things that way. I have about a 1.69 KD so I can probably keep up with you guys if we ever play together. But if you really need a challenge, I have some powerful friends who may be up for it

As others have said, they clearly got amped up. They're strong enough now that they are an option for personal ordinance. Most people I play against rarely use it, but the weapon can seem almost unfair when it's in the right hands. Don't get caught in the open if you know your opponents are using it. Stay close to corners or any cover that you use to get out its spray. Then draw them in to close range where it's harder to use, or pop in and out of cover so can't concentrate the fire in an explosive burst
