Once you hit SR 50 you will then be able to select a specialization, once you select one you then have to complete the 10 ranks for that specialization (do not worry they require less points that ranks 40-50), once you have done this you will unlock the perk associated with that specialization. When picking your first ones look at the way you play and pick one that may be useful, as I have found a lot of them so weak that i use standard perks instead of them..

Strafing is essental and something you just pick up during gameplay, I have always found that my strafing is most effective when I direct myslef based upon my opponents movement, i.e. if i were doing what he is doing what would be the less natural way for me to aim, as for shooting while doing so its a simple case of doing x amount of Y means that to stay aimed on you need to do x amount of Z... Hope this makes sense, the autoaim in this game is so savage the best strafing is not really good enough anymore!!!

Cannot say i have ever noticed this at all, no problems for me personally is all I can say.

Halo 3 was just such a balanced game that it is used as a basleline upon which future editions should have been made. Sure change can be good but a lot of the time its not.. Honestly why do we all spend so much time repeating the same rubbish in thread after thread, I have to say its getting boring at this stage. We all know that compared to Halo 2 +3 this game doesn't stand up, but it is what it is. Maybe they should have called it a new name or something, who knows who cares???

Its just a lobby no. count nothing to do with no. of people in your party!!! At least thats how I always took it.

I think as stated above its limited range in gamepllay is to allow for the existance of other guns, in a reality like situation any gun has more range than that so its built into the storyline. Also it is cheap, cheerful and effective against unarmoured enemies (insurgents, grunts, etc.) They should have kept it more like the CE original one.

So all in all is it another failure or a success, have yet to play it and wondering is there really any point paying for any of these maps???

The SR system is 1-130 but the trueskill in the waypoint will most likely be a 1-50 system as was standard in previous games. Not that it really matters, i mean whats the point with ranks and not being able to see them? Its the poorest idea i have seen in a long time, I mean it seems like they did neither the CoD system or the Halo system and rather just failed at both.

No need for them, you do not play as an elite in the game so why have them in MP, at that rate you might as add promethean knights aswell!!! I do not see why people keep asking from thins, Reach was the only game to have em and it was designed as such, this game at least on that front returned to roots and no harm, you always heard of people complaining one race is harder to headshot than the other etc. etc. so whats the point other than aesthetics.

Identical thread about 2 pages down... but yeah they amy or they may not, they will have the tueskill up soon which will negate the need to add anymore to the SR system.

Have had a few great instances of damage boost: Rail gun + DB = 2 shot kill on tank UNSC Sniper + DB = bye bye mantis It is one of the best things to get on any lvl, makes all weapons insane strength.

Playing BTB never really been an issue but alas it has to be done as it is the most Op gun in the game, Any idea what they plan on doing with it? EDIT: Never mind just read its a range nerf, that spretty good, I guess i better finish the commendation before they update lol. Never has a gun been too easy to use till this one came along, some people are goin to be very pissed as its become the pillar of their play style. Cannot wait for some Slayer 4 v 4 once its patched people will be freakin all day bout their BS not working hahahahaha!!!!

I do not think anyone here bar maybe a few really count reach when they talk of Halo greats, that was bungies mess about when they knew they were on the way out, they accepted it would be a hit or a fail (ended up fail) but did not care as it mattered not. Compare this games maps to 2 or 3 when they were released, I get tired of the sad little haters gonna hate comments, I mean its the same as saying trolls gonna troll.....

That sctually sounds alright, most clans demand blah blah blah practice blah blah blah, none of which ever suited me, What we need is not a clan but a friendly gamer group. call us 343c (c for community forum) might actually work.

Swat with snipers makes no sense as normal slayer sniper headshot = death lol, in swat hit em anywhere and they would die!!!! Seems a bit far fetched....

All the rest are gone I ate em and then I shot the Easter Bunny with my Binary rifle so no proof of his death MMMMUUUUUUAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAAHHHHAAA!!!!! ALL THE EGGS ARE MINE!!! MY PRECIOUS!!!

Yeah Yeah we all know this is not Halo as we once knew and loved it, it pales in comparison to its predecessors. I often play the game and feel that it might as well have been called something entirely different!! All in all its a good game where as Halo 1-3 were great games. I guess thats just the way of things.

I guess the 343 community has the same lvl of inventiveness as they do haha. :wallbash:

Oh how I hope they never do this, if they bring the Pit back i will throw this game away and give up on 343 forever, just because maps were great does not mean they will be great with this game. Maps like the Pit, Guardian etc. were built for real Halo, not the trash this game offers, they were balanced to perfection, encouraged aggressive play and made teams work together and think smart. All of this is gone from Halo now, and we have added instant respawn and sprint so lvl's seem smaller and and death means little, the DMR has chaged rounds and these are things that would destroy what made some of the best Halo lvl's so amazing. I say make new ones, show us they can do something right..

Exile as a map is not getting old as much as sad arse team mates who camp for the tank (only to die almost instantly when it comes back) and make everyone on their team spawn in that death hole. Why are players so bad a so sad???

While the concept and mayhem that would ensue would be great fun, it has many flaws, I mean imagine an organised team of 16, they could literally DMR a scorpion to death in no time. The likes of the banshee would not last a second. Now a 8v8v8v8 multiteam would be nuts beyond anything I have ever played. All in all a good plan just a problem if a team was organised.

I like vortex only because all I do is ghost kill the enemy again and again. there are enough ghosts to ensure ou never need stop. Meltdown may just be the single worst Halo map ever designed!!! If it were removed I would be happy and no matter how bored I am I will never be happy to play it. Hell it would be easy to release a few more Big eam lvl's as those from the pevious games would be fine, unlike small lvl's the new things have less effect on big maps, also add heavies it is so much moe fun.

Sure happens now and then, funny thing is whenever I play wih mates we tend to focus on killing each other too much and often let someone win as a result haha.. I have also seen games where people are boosting etc. regicide is always vulnerable to this type of stuff being as players are auto against each other, it is very easy for a few o gain an advantage..

It is really a case of 4 ounds of exile in a row followed by 4 rounds of ragnarok followed by 1 of longbow then back to te op lol, yeah i get how you feel, games lose meaning and it just becomes a bit boing, same maps same plans no change ups, even the introdcution of heavies would be nice but neither that or BTB seem o be on the cards yet so meh....

What you are asking for is classic slayer essentially and no there is no such mode, the nearest was slayer pro and they took that away. Personally i would love to see such a game mode like a halo 3 revisit, and maybe just maybe they will add one, they migh be afraid that its popularity would sow up their mistakes lol.
