Halo: Reach Discussion

[t3h m00kz]

Speaking of.

The thing with sniping in Halo 1 is that the player hitboxes were considerably smaller than any of the more recent games. Bullet magnetism is an entirely different factor from autoaim, and I should add that the Halo 1 sniper had dramatically less range than the Reach sniper. You can snipe people all the way across Forge World with the Reach sniper, you'd never be able to do that in Halo 1.

Of course you zoomed out when you got shot, are you serious?

Not in the PC version at least

probably a networking thing

E: Actually, I've noticed times where people will be shooting me and I'll zoom out, though I've taken no damage. Yet, it's possible to take damage and not zoom out. I'm willing to bet if you shoot someone straight on (not leading) in Halo PC while they're zoomed in, it'll make them zoom out.

Also, collision on the Reach models is no bigger than it was in Halo 1. If anything it's the auto aim. Compare the collision when betraying. No easier to betray someone in reach than it is in Halo 1.
