It would be classic Arrowhead if this stratagem that they’ve had ready to release for months now was bugged
I’ll stick to my favorite of each of the original trilogy to keep this post from being a book.
CE: AotCR or Silent Carog, AotCR set the bar for levels which use every part of the Halo sandbox with big vehicle sections and tight corridors and Silent Cartog because I have so fond memories of playing the CE PC demo over and over again.
H2: Delta Halo for the same reasons as AotCR, plus ODSTs!
H3: The Covenant: AA wraith, Hornet Section, scorpion section, TWO Scarabs with so many ways to take them down. Awesome solo or in co-op.
It would be fun if they had a rare chance of appearing at POIs, I think that big objective with the black hole jetpacks was the most time for many players using a jetpack
This is going to be $20 at least
It feels like they’re doing the thing they did with H4 and H5 where they are testing features for the next game, such as late in H4 they had playlists which gave everyone thrusters and late in H5 they had playlists which got rid of a lot of the spartan abilities and just made it clamber and sprint only
Brittleness might be a concern, it will be for a costume piece
Thank you!
Oh also MP and Operator helmets are new as well!
Yep, bottom of the article says it should be improved
The only good thing to come out of the show was that marine that was super combined into mist, it was more lore accurate than the games or other media.
The amount of people that don’t realize samples are shared and that super credits/medals picked up are instantly rewarded to everyone is higher than it should be. I had a guy yelling over voice chat a few weeks back that we had to ignore the side objectives and extract immediately so he could keep the super credits he just picked up
Stratagems:
I’ll probably go back to quasar for bugs when they nerf flamethrowers against chargers, right now it’s just too good to pass up.
I recently switched from rail cannon to POS for both enemy types because the buff was amazing
Shield lets me get in a few extra headshots at devastators before they hurt me
Laser guard dog makes cleaning up the lower tier bugs a non-issue so I can focus on bigger threats, it is annoying to get killed by it or for it to accidentally kill teammates, but I still think it’s worth it
The trees blocking most of the Eagle stratagems is a bummer, but I guess it makes sense. I have changed my loadout to substitute Eagle strikes with orbital equivalents, or as close as I can get, trees still block, but not as often as before.
Two and a half years and multi-team is just now coming as an experimental mode. Jeez.
A lot of fun, but does anyone else have significantly worse performance on it? Usual bot or bug missions I’m usually 70-90 FPS with dips in the 50s, but Gacrux sits in the 50s and dips as low as the 20s.
I had a guy who just kept saying stuff like “we need to run to extract” in all caps as soon as we completed the main objective on a hard mission with probably 20 minutes left to finish up the side objectives, pleennttyy of time. I wasn’t the host, but I probably would have kicked the guy after a while because he was getting mad at the rest of us for going around and cleaning up. He didn’t call extraction, but he sat around the extraction area the entire time.
When we did finally get extraction going he called in a 120mm barrage centered on the extract point and it killed two of us as the drop ship was coming in. We had time to reinforce, but that would have been my last straw.
Roaming gunships are so much harder than roaming Shriekers haha.
I like the idea of these patrols, but gunship patrols should be a bit smaller, we were getting overwhelmed on diff 8 with patrols of 4-6 that would overlap. I guess that’s also a sign we need to adjust our loadouts more than anything, but I hope it points towards better AA stratagems in the future.
After the disaster of the original CE Anniversary, I’m a bit wary about what we’re going to get if this actually releases. I think bringing the MCC over to PlayStation would have been a better move, personally.
Not as cool as the Nerf Needler imo
