Generally speaking, the subreddit is the epitome of internet cancer. As much as I despise using that term like that, its true. Its full of people who continually think they know what they're talking about but really dont.

Edit: Some bit of irony in that last statement, notably considering where we are

and therefore we are all equal!

except dennis, of course

What's funny too is everyone is getting too excited and try porting maps as one big mesh with colission errors and all dynamic lighting.

Seems like they always focus on F2P kind of games, but they made a big mistake with halo:online.

When are you gonna get the memo

Don't understand the point of iron sights if you can't ADS.

Also please stahp with over using the same particles for different barreled weapon varients.

To be fair, Bungie did it first with the Shotgun and the SMG. And then there is some early H1 footage on my channel where the PR has a sort of holographic sight as well.

Where?

In the retail games... as far as the video on my channel I believe it was an off screen handy cam video, possibly for E3 when the PR still had it's overcharge function and the PP the spew discharge.

True but the weapons depicted in HO over extend the unusability of visual additions which feels completely wasteful and frustrating.

BUT looks cooler than a normal and boring rifle.

I don't know about that, I kind of like the extra added detail on top. I don't think it really detracts from the guns appearance and is a nice change from the designs we've seen before.

Giving them credit, they're not necessarily wrong in using that term to describe autoaim since it's pretty much exactly what the system looks like it does.




Even if it's not the way it is named in the engine or how it continues to be described by 343, people are obviously referring to the same thing. It's like if someone were to begin talking about the in-game stagger or flinch animations. It's still easy enough to understand what they mean, despite them being called ping animations by the engine. My main issue is when people need to make clear the distinction between autoaim and magnetism, and they don't. They can simply do that by calling it bullet magnetism and reticle magnetism, or of course calling it what it actually is in the engine, autoaim and magnetism.





No idea why anyone there would believe this, though. My god.

why did you import the unity pill into halo

Because it's a perfect visual representation of an autoaim pill. And it's funny.

Did I miss something?

ja

Oh man, it's the best. It's empty in nearly 95% of the map, and the dumbass sun manages to illuminate the wrong wall.






That makes total sense. I hadn't really realized how inconsistent myself and others were when discussing either autoaim or magnetism. I've always preferred using bullet or reticle magnetism, wherever it was heard from first, since it was based on the visual magnetization of either the bullets (autoaim) or the crosshair (magnetism). It seemed easy enough to identify between both systems which one the other user was talking about, and they were used quite a bit around Destiny. That's called it being part of the vernacular, right? But Jesus after reading through a couple discussions on various other forums just now, everyone was all over the place. Even on halowaypoint people were mixing up what autoaim and magnetism were and do. I mean it's fine as long as people are able to get to a common understanding, but you're right in that there always seems to be confusion and people debating what one means over another - needlessly. I definitely see the importance of using proper terminology after what was witnessed.



And sure here's the tags. http://www.mediafire.com/download/bo4fkxyf96k3yov/autoaim+%26+autochief.zip There's even a cool looking chief with his default 0.08 width pill added to his geometry to see how it animates around during gameplay.








The pill is such a huge part in how well and consistently autoaim works in pretty much every halo. Without a doubt Halo:Online as well. Remember this video?




See that redish box shape inside the spartan? That's the autoaim pill. The .gif above with the assault rifle shows the stream of bullets with 0 error being pulled toward the pill from 12 degrees, and turns red when at full strength 6 degrees (default). It actually replicates what happens in the video exactly, as the cross representing the bullet's path is pulled toward the pill the same way, minus the headshot prioritization deal I didn't even know was a thing until I saw you mention it in another post. Game doesn't care whether there's geometry there, or even if there's any collision there. All that matters is the proper scaling of the autoaim pill, and the degrees the center of the player's reticle is from one if its edges.

But its not usable so whats the point???

Its like one day your waifu decided to get breast implants but for some reason YOU are not allowed to experience them

Aesthetics, lore, a means of distinguishing that particular variant from the rest of MA5 family, and in-game precedence going all the way back to Combat Evolved.

Reach's DMR has a setting for full-auto on its fire selector. You can't use it, it serves no functional purpose in-game, it's just a detail that fleshes out the universe in its own teeny tiny way.

This is way over my head so I am just going to say cool.

A good thing.

Just hope the H:O Community sees it as a good thing.

I see if OpenSauce get support for Shader 3.0 all will forget Halo Online very quick. This is what all should not forget. With Shader 3.0 Halo CE will look like Halo 3.

Ban

my god m00kz sounds like slowbullet

host of CE3

Dafuq?

LOL I remember everyone used to halo online LOL!

Why not Dota instead of LOL ?

What really bothers me is the fact no one has complained about the obvious online-only DRM, such as used in SimsCity and other popular games. Let me be able to play this offline! #HaloOffline

oh hey look is flan... nvm.
