Halo: Reach Discussion

[ExAm]

Would be nice to have a game option in the variants to toggle destructible vehicles...

...There is.

[Pooky]

...There is.

And it never appears anywhere in matchmaking, so there might as well not be. Besides, the douche-laser would still take out all 3 people in the Warthog with a single hit :|

They should set damage distribution like H1, so the douche laser would kill the meatshiel- er, passenger, drop the gunner's shields, and send the vehicle barrel-rolling across the map in hilarious fashion.

I didn't stick around H3 long enough to be too bothered by the splaser, but I can imagine the frustration involved when, a month in, everyone is an expert with it and getting in to a vehicle in any kind of open environment would be a death sentence. Bungie should have made it more like what they said its role was -- a vehicle sniper rifle. Could you imagine if the actual sniper rifles didn't require you to aim at the head for 1-shot kills? Just make a critical region on the vehicles and if you miss, I don't know, light the passengers on fire for a DOT effect as a consolation prize.

Or they can make it like CMT's Laser in their earlier MP maps, if you remember what that thing did heheh.

you mean behaved like an actual laser and not a burst? oh and yeah that thing could flip a damn tank

Flip a tank, yes, as well as send warthogs flying across the map in the most hilarious manner ever, yes as well. I think it might've even worked where if you just hit the vehicle only it would be affected and the passengers would be unharmed, even after slamming into the ground back by their base. (OK so I exaggerate a bit)

i know what you mean, to be honest i feared the CMT laser more than the H3 one as the H3 one was dodgeable after the fire, where as the actual "laser" firing one was more sweep across the map

[Warsaw]

Sounds like this CMT laser acted similarly to the gravity gun from H2CE maps, albeit hitscan instead of a blob.

fuck the spartan laser. the only weapons that can even hit anybody at long range is the battle rifle, carbine, the sniper rifle and the laser. the carbine and battle rifle cant kill anybody at range before they laser you, and unlike the sniper rifle, the laser has that little target painting dot which allows you to sweat balls about 2 seconds before your ass gets blown up. i can remember tons of situations where i was BRing some asshole who was painting me with a laser, only to break his shields as the laser tore through my torso. yelling and anger ensued

fake E: also fuck how the spartan laser kills every vehicle and everyone in every vehicle in one hit, except the wraith for whatever reason. the wraith takes 2 laser blasts to kill and by the time you get the first shot off, somebody is either shooting you, or the wraith is running you over.

halo has been a frustrating experience for me since day 1
real E: energy swords can go fuck themselves too

Having such an option would help with "classic" throwback playlists. It could just make the game take all the scenario vehicles and make them immune to damage, vahla! Halo 1 vehicles


That or maybe the ability to rip the turret off the back of the warthog. Then you can go to the enemy team and rip that shit off, and run away leaving them all like "they took our jerbs!".

loving everything about this idea
