Halo 2. Like some said before, the snipers...I guess if there would have been more of them the covenant would have won the war^^

Welcome SelfDestruct^^

Halo 5: An expected journey to revive Cortana^^ And It looks... just amazing, gorgeous and exciting at once!!

Its not fair to say that the DMR takes no skill. Since the weapon-update dropped I really feel that every weapon has its pros and cons and is equally useful. So now the BR wrecks the DMR from short- to midrange but loses to the DMR in long-range-battles. This is just fair. Actually, I would go with the Carbine. But since this is a UNSC-Weapon-poll, I would pick the DMR,not because its better or something like that.... just because I loved Reach^^

I like the Halo: Reach magnum the most, closely followed by both Halo 4s and Halo CEs. What I thought about for Halo 5 was that there could be 2 pistols. One like the current Halo 4 Magnum and one that is much less powerful, but can be dual-wielded. This way, 343 could design other dual-wieldable weapons without letting them get too powerfull like the double-mauler or the double-needler.

<p>I personally got 2 best moments.<br /> One was in dominion, I was defending Base B on Longbow and all my teammates were hanging around somewhere else. I only had my stormrifle and a magnum to defend myself when 3 members of the other team appeared on my radar. First, 2 of them ran in, I killed the first quite easily with the stormrifle, the other managed to get my shields down but I managed to double-melee him. So I had no shields and a remaining enemy.</p> <p><br /> I noticed that one red point on my radar had disappeared, so I thought he must be camping somewhere around the entrance. So I actived my AA, the Hardlightshield and went out of the entrance. And yup, I was right, when I went out of the base he popped up with a boltshot but he didnt know that boltshot-bullets can be deflected with Hardlight.<br /> So I guess you know what happened to him when the whole boltshot-load turned back in his face^^ This was definitely the coolest triple-kill I ever had, I felt like a complete badass^^<br /> <br /> The other moment has nothing to do with skill, but it was just so funny. I was about to get a flag to our base when a member of the enemy-team got real close with his dmr and started shooting at me. So I thought I was gonna get killed and my shields were already down, but then some crazy guy of the enemy team suddenly came speeding in with his ghost, trying to splatter me. But I jumped over the ghost and instead of me he killed his teammate running behind me and I managed to score the flag and to survive^^</p>

Haha ^^ Hi ,,new" member!

mine is 1.24 in the moment and Im quite content with it. My ,,preferred weapon" is the dmr but Im sooo close to getting it to my beloved carbine due to the new weapon-tuning.^^

Somehow I feel like sometimes people forget to match their expectations with the reality and I do not exclude myself from that, we all do. But its jsut sad to see that there is a group among us that cant be pleased by anything. If 343 would have made a Halo like reach, these guys would have said: ,,I didnt like Reach, I dont like the AAs, this Halo is bad." If 343 would have made a Halo like Halo 3 they would have said: ,, 343 is just doing what Bungie did, this Halo is just a Halo 3 rip-off." So 343 decided to make a completely new approach to Halo and now these guys say: ,,his is not even Halo, this is Call of Halo or something like that". This is just a situation that no company could have solved or prevented. I mean, come on, just be fair and let 343 grow with their tasks and let them evolve. And for this, tme is needed. So please give them the time that is needed to fully balance their approach to Halo. By the way, noone has to decide between Halo and Destiny... Like DN2012 said, why not buy both and enjoy both?

I will clearly stick to Halo... GTA 5 will also be fun as hell, but somehow the gta-feeling never lasted longer than 1-2 weeks (at least for me) ...

I like their new look in general, but in some way I dont know if it was right to change it that much... I mean, Jackals always were those ugly, annoying defenders of the Elite-Infantry nobody really liked. Now they look like mini-elites themselves. So I guess its the loss of tthe old ,,jackal-feeling" that bothers me and I wouldnt have changed their look even if they now seem more sleek and agile.

yeah, the higher the better means 10 XD I wrote ,,the higher the better" because some players are not content with it, even though the time you can turn around is already insane. Some guys get really good with this setting, but I guess I wouldnt land a single shot with it (I always play on 6)^^.

yeah, maybe it was a hacker^^ I remember when there were guys who hacked Halo 4 so that their spartans didnt have heads and didnt wear armour... One does never know what these guys are trying to accomplish with things like that^^

Hey evryone, Ive never seen a topic like this but I think it would be very interesting to know. So what sensitivity do you use, are you the one who trained very long to master the highest sensitivity available or are you someone who doesnt need high sensivity to keep steady aim? If you feel like, vote^^

I like Halo 2 and Reach the most. Halo 2 was just thrilling, the story was so much deeper and more lively than in CE and I loved being an Elite and fight Sesa Refumee. Halo Reach was sad, emotional, dark and watching all these heroic attempts fail and all of the characters you learned to love fall was jsut heartbreaking. The concept that you are fighting for something while knowing the exact ending of the story was just a masterpiece in terms of atmosphere. In my opinion, Bungie left Halo at its best^^

I guess you encountered guys who had the explosives-,,perk" what increases the blast radius and the damage of the grenades... But the thing with the suppressor either isnt true or there was something you didnt notice. Maybe you got hit by something else while you approached him? or he landed his 2-rounds with the suppressor and meleed you right afterwards. Believe me, happened to me once, I didnt even know what was going on^^ Or u didnt watch your fire enough and the spread made you miss the final bullets? There could be multiple reasons. The boltshot got more powerful? How comes that? It wasnt affected by the new patch and there has been a nerf a couple months ago... The Scattershot wasnt affected,too, its still the same damage and rate of fire as of November the 6th... The Lightrifle isnt OP, that thing has massive flinch, you need to zoom in to be effective with it and you lose nearly every fight against mid-range precision-rifles.

yeah, Im pretty optimistic bout that ^^ Halo 2 is still my favourite Halo game and I hope that the second installment of a trilogy will again be the best ...

I would really enjoy it when the classic Halo vehicles would get some kind of features and, of course, more vehicle-health. Just imagine there would be, lets say, a Mongoose with a little, bulletproof frontshield or you could rip of the warthogs turrent when the vehicle itself is highly damaged. What more important to me is (if the current loadout-system reappears) that the plasma-nades get kicked out of it, I mean, vehicle-battles are one of the factors that made Halo this great. And my beloved Plasma-Rifle, plasma-Repeater and Needle-Rifle should reapear (or a Carbine with Needles attached to it ), God how I miss those guns. If they decide to bring back the brutes, it would be awesome if dual-wielding would be brought back, but with limited and balanced combos (like 2 plasma-pistols only, or a plasma-rifle and a plasma-pistol and so on...). A new focus-rifle would also be nice, I loved the idea behind it being a rip-off of the sentinel-beam

dont be so hard on 343, they tried their best and they still try to please the community and they also listen to it. of course many thing in Halo 4 went wrong, we all agree, but that also means Halo 5 wont contain these mistakes and it will be completely awesome^^ and who knows, maybe spartan-assault wont be this bad, even though I really dont like the concept... and the main reason why 343 isnt capable of presenting a highly satisfying Halo-game is not even their fault, its just caused by the insane pressure Microsoft is putting on them, they are the ones to blame.

Nice topic^^ I actually agree, I also like complex a lot, its just a real nice, balanced map. You can run around with your Carbine, BR and Dmr or sit back with a lightrifle. regardless of which weapon you pick, youre never OP or completely destroyed, you just need to find a proper way of approaching your enemies. Love that map. One map I REALLY hate is the new designed Meltdown. Its gotten so much worse with all these fuel-rods. They have such a high rate of fire and literally no splash damage what caues players just to camp in the bases and shoot you in the face from close range when you go through the entrance... and after that, they get ordnances. I mean, it was a lot better when there were 2 ininneration-cannons instead of the 3 fuel-rods since you couldnt fire them in close-range without commiting suicide. Tnis provided that you got your ordnance way later. Now I just feel that about in the middle of a BTB-match the whole battlefield is just flooded with power-weapons what makes it just so unbalanced and insufferable.

Yeah, that would be great, even though I kinda like Halo 4. Actually, this would eradicate most of 343s matchmaking-problems cause everytime someone would be complaining about Halo 4s gamestyle he could just switch to this playlist... But theres also a problem with it and I actually think that this would be the reason 343s not planing such a playlist: it would be more or less a statement that some things went wrong with Halo 4 and they werent capable of creating the classic Halo-Feeling. thats why I guess they will either choose to make a Reach-styled playlist where you still have the AAs but the same weapons, no ordnance and no sprint by default or just dont create such a playlist at all.

Thanks ^^

Hey there guys, I finally decided to make the last step and join your forum^^. As you may assume, Im of course a huge Halo-Fan, but to be honest I cant say I started playing Halo with CE. The first Halo-campaign I played was Halo 3, even though I didnt play Halo 3s Multiplayer as frequent as I wanted... Anyways, this is where my love for the universe started so I bought every other Halo-game in the local gamestore, you can say I rushed through ten years of gaming-history^^ (the two Halogames I love the most: Halo 2 and Halo: Reach; they both got a special place in my heart and Halo 2s splitscreen-mode is still the best gaming-experience existing). These are the points I wanted to mention about my love for Halo in general, so I will now just tell you a little bit about myself. Im 17 (nearly 18=) and from a city near Munich, Germany. Currently Im studying for my Abitur (I guess its A-Levels in english ), but that wont keep me from playing Halo . Yeah, thats basically all I wanted to tell you and I hope the community is as awesome as it seems to be =D
