From the updated load-outs 8/1/12 what load-out will you use?

Mine will be as follows:

 

 

• Battle Rifle or Carbine for my primary
  
• Magnum for my secondary
  
• Thruster pack for my Armor ability
  
• Shielding/Fast-Track for my Tactical Package
  
• Dexterity/Explosives for my Support Upgrades
  

 

What do you think of my load-out choice and what do you think about the armor abilities, tactical packages and support upgrades Halo 4 now has? Keep the debating civil.

[Mr Biggles]

Battle Rifle/DMR

Magnum/Bolt Shot

Thruster/Jet Pack

Shielding/FirePower

Ammo/Dexterity

#2 (Close-mid range)

 

Perk: Firepower

Support Upgrade: Dexterity

Armor Ability: Hard Light Shield

Primary: Storm Rifle

Secondary: Carbine

Grenades: Pulse

 

#3 (Long range)

 

Perk: Firepower

Support Upgrade: Awareness

Armor Ability: Auto-Sentry

Primary: Designated Marksman Rifle

Secondary: Light Rifle

Grenades: Frag

 

#4 (mid range)

 

Perk: Firepower

Support Upgrade: Stability

Armor Ability: Hard Light Shield

Secondary: Carbine

Grenades: Frag

 

#5 (Close range)

I think those are suitable

Battle Rifle is a great choice, of course. Magnum too, even though i'm curious about the Bolt shot.

Thruster Pack looks great if you want to close the distance really fast and makes much more sense for a spartan than evade did.

Shielding is good if you want to get back in the action faster after a gunfight and Fast-Track is of course great to rise up in the ranks quicker to get that Specialization.

Dexterity is a good choice too, especially together with the thruster pack and magnum, because the magnum will do more damage up close, so if you can get close really fast and then switch to the magnum fast too, that's pretty lethal.

Explosives looks like a great choice on smaller maps where nades are more likely to hit you. So i'd probably say Dexterity on bigger maps and Explosives on the smaller ones.

 

 

My choice will probably be this:

 

Primary: Battle Rifle

Secondary: Magnum or Bolt Shot.

Grenades: Plasma

Armor Abilities: Promethean Vision

Tactical Package: Shielding

Support Upgrade: Sensor

 

That's my plan as of right now. I'm sure i'll do a lot of tweaking though when the game is released

For BTB, I plan to use;

 

Primary - Battle Rifle

Secondary - DMR

Grenade - Pulse Grenade

Armour Ability - Regeneration Field

Tactical Package - Firepower

Support Upgrade - Ammo

 

For other Gametypes, more or less I'll probably use;

Primary - Battle Rifle

Secondary - Magnum

Grenade - Frag

Armour Ability - PV

Tactical Package - Shielding

Support Package - Wetworks

 

I'll no doubt mix and match, but I'm a huge fan of the BR, not very good with it, but I love it all the same

I bet that the Light Rifle is the last Primary Weapon to unlock since it's new, intimidating, and probably the most powerful.

i don't know yet maybe all have to try them out first before deciding

Depends on whether we're talking Matchmaking or SpOps, and whether or not we can actually have Shotguns as primaries or not, as was suggested a while back.

 

In Matchmaking (NO SHOTGUN):

• Assault Rifle and DMR (because I like to be versatile, and I'm competent with both)
  
• Frag Grenades (because I can't stick people)
  
• Hard Light Shield (for if things go wrong)
  
• Firepower (so I can have two primaries)
  
• Sensor (because I prefer to let enemies come to me and prepare accordingly)
  

 

In Matchmaking (WITH SHOTGUN):

• Shotgun (because it fits my playing style perfectly)
  
• Magnum (to give me a chance of surviving long-range attacks)
  
• Pulse Grenades (because I like to use 'nades for area denial rather than raw damage)
  
• Auto-Sentry (because it's a good distraction while I sneak up to give them a Shotgun Hug)
  
• Resupply (because I like to go into fights at full strength)
  
• Wetworks (because what's more scary than a ninja with a Shotgun?)
  

 

In Spartan Ops:

• DMR (because I like to hang back against enemies with travel-time weapons)
  
• Plasma Pistol (because you never know when you'll need to deal with vehicles)
  
• Frag Grenades (because I can't stick people)
  
• Regeneration Field (because I'm a team player)
  
• Requisition (because certain situations respond better to different weapons)
  
• Ammo (because when I get a special weapon, I want to use it liberally)
  

 

I think that's pretty much it - as you can probably tell, I have a very, very odd style of play!

Although I hate to say it, I enjoy how there are "completion rewards" for completing certain challenges in CoD. I enjoy using every gun and learning the ins and outs to understand my advantage and others disadvantages. I plan on using every weapon in the game and setting up as many distinguished loadouts as possible.

 

That being said, I think I'll use the Carbine mostly for primary. We'll see.
