I suck so much in this game unless I’m in a mantis. I wreck shit in the mantis, especially on Meltdown. I have it down to a science. Lure enemy mantis across the bridge for teammates to gang up on it. Once the enemy Mantis is down, storm the enemy spawn and hold it until their mantis respawns and secure it until a teammate steals it or blow it up if an enemy gets to it.
next week’s spartan ops preview is online. it looks amazing. more halsey and jul.
whenever I play dominion, i always grab one of those wraith spawns. no one ever seems to notice them but i always at least get a spree with that thing.
Sheeeit, Legendary Spartan Ops missions are so much easier if you do them in co-op. There’s also the fact that you get infinite respawns, of course. Actually, I was all set to go into a short list of things that could’ve pushed it into Battletoads-caliber bullshit if they wanted an insane mode, then I remembered that this is basically what the skulls are there for. Anyway, it was smooth sailing with a buddy today on those missions, and that’s just two people… I imagine that if you have 3 or 4 people the difficulty becomes a joke at that point.

What’s your favorite/best load out? I haven’t unlocked a lot of stuff yet, but just curious what people are running. I like using the hologram even though other loadouts are way better, IMO. It’s just so fun to see an enemy completely falling for the fake out.
I doubt I will ever change it up from the hologram in terms of my armor ability of choice…unless it gets to a point where the average player NEVER falls for it anymore, and I don’t really see that happening anytime soon, actually.
Once I unlocked the option to start with a DMR I never looked back. That is THE primary weapon for me. I was considering plasma pistol as the secondary weapon, but it’s really just for 2 very specific purposes… instant shield erasure or incapacitating a vehicle for a moment (and that is diminished if someone happens to be running “Operator” specialization, apparently)… so I’m still using the regular pistol for now. Once I unlock boltshot that may be a choice for smaller maps since it has the one-shot kill if charged.
Grenades-- Plasma still seems like the superior shit, imo…with regular frag grenades being the 2nd tier choice, and those new ones being last… then again I haven’t used the new ones against people yet, but I can’t imagine anyone getting killed by them that often.
…on another note, I’m more looking forward to the new Spartan Ops missions, actually. Halo’s competitive multiplayer was never the main attraction for me.
New nades are good for groups and tight quarters. Like any nade right?
Unless they stay there, you’ll still have to take them fools out.
I was using the bolt shot and was able to get head shots. That was only for a few games before I lost my skill, lol.
Fucking saw an 88 the other day, he is probably 98 by now… sheesh… My double xp was over before I knew it. I won most of those games and now I’m losing.
I’m about to “boost” via spartan ops. = just playing a shit ton of spartan ops, haha.
Hit me up so we can see if we can have a party but still use the find a game feature. Might as well get 6k instead of 3k. we’ll see if we can get a large enough party to boost some regicide too.
Mainly assassinations and the more difficult stuff.
My kill death ratio is pretty bad…i think it was 0.67% the last time i checked. I suck at team games. I dont think i’ve gotten any better since the first week but it’s still alot of fun for me. I’ve been switch around with the guns too just to experiment. Right now im using 2 primaries the carbine or light rifle and the DMR with camouflage.
Regicide is probably the only game mode that im good at because of my aggressive playstyle. I’m using the supressor with bolt shot as my secondary along with the hologram. For regicide you gotta stick with fast shooting guns, even the default assault rifle is good. I get top 3 in most of the games.
I played it
It was really fun and I like where the story is going.
I got use to using the AR again. I can’t wait to get DMR master and start using the AR/Suppressor again.
I’ve noticed that each AR has a firing variance.
Unless I’m just blind, controlled fire seems to work better than the death grip.
Is there a points break down for spartan ops?
Huge spoiler…
[details=Spoiler] THE FUCKIN LIBRARIAN SON! We’re on the wrong fucking side too! OMG, I’m shitting myself until the next ep comes out! This is crazy! That could seriously be story for Halo 4 but it isn’t. I don’t think this feature is getting as much attention is should. I mean, its finally extending the story without having to READ! I know i know, three games did that, but I like my games games. No mention of them figuring it out either! I wonder what kind of tech the librarian is going to “provide” the covenant with.

They lost me several times during the first conversation between mexican and Dr. Cortana, haha.
Was I really fucking out of it or do the Prometheions scream on their radio channels?
I’ve been running
AR
DMR/Magnum
Plasma Nades
Thruster Pack
Firepower/Grenadier
Dexterity
Plasma nades are better for anti vehicle than a plasma pistol for me, I hate close quarter surprises with anything but the AR, Thruster pack lets me boost any direction to throw off and enemy’s aim or flank around opponents faster, plus in close range battles AR>Thruster>Melee is . Thruster Pack is awesome versus grenade throwers too, instead of backing up, dash forward and kill them. Grenadier I use with the pistol(bigger explosion range, less damage taken from them). I sometimes use ammo on larger maps so I can stalk around for longer periods, but Dexterity(faster reload and weapon swapping) is too good. I got an overkill on Exile with an AR just because I could reload so fast in between thruster pack hops.:tup:
I’m liking H4 a lot now, just bought the seasons pass(and I fucking hate this new day bullshit where 3 map are 15 bucks in shooters when it used to 4 for 10 but at least with this season pass it’s 3 maps 10 bucks).
This game blows 3 out of the fucking water in every way, Reach still da besss tho.
H4 is the ST to Reach’s Hyper Fighting. If you will allow me to make a ridiculous analogy:)
And you can only use WetWork’s Tactical Package when you reach level 10 of that specalization.
Poorly implemented but at any rate I still enjoy the core of the MP enough. I’m not even humoring a CoD for the rest of my life so this fills up my FPS hunger for now and the foreseeable future.
