This. It feels a lot more tactical because of the load out choices, people are better with different things. I figured out I'm best with Scout (sprinting) I just like charge towards them and GUNS them with melee hits cause unless they have something like a shotgun it's hard to keep aim at someone who is like running around you lmao

I really like it, but I haven't had too much time to play really. I haven't even found the sniper yet.

Also did you notice the increased gravity from the other ones? It's more "realistic" I suppose

It's not a Halo game is more like Gears of Halo: Modern Halo 3.

The classes are not balanced the guardian class is very overpowered if you know how to use it. Jetpacks make you weaker. The game still relies on the basic components of Halo; nade spam and pray and spray.

Halo is such a "new" game. It's just lame. "Tactical," lawl, if you want to play a game about tactics, play any strategy game or an RPG.

Console shooters blow, and especially Halo.

wat? rpgs = not tactical at all
and strategy =/= tactics
although good players of RTSes do use tactics, it doesn't mean many people use them in these video games

Somebody doesn't understand what tactics actually are apparently.  :troll:

More like you don't  :troll:

extent of tactics in rpg = Pidgy used sandstorm, your Pokemon's agility fell!

Either way, yall all are haters

Yeah, and Pokemon is a complex RPG, I guess.

Tactics (tac-tics)
n.
1.a. (used with a sing. verb) The military science that deals with securing objectives set by strategy, especially the technique of deploying and directing troops, ships, and aircraft in effective maneuvers against an enemy: Tactics is a required course at all military academies. (Purpose: Getting more kills isn't tactics)
b. (used with a pl. verb) Maneuvers used against an enemy: Guerrilla tactics were employed during most of the war. (A particular way of achieving goal-oriented military campaigns, again, beyond simply killing moar)
2. (used with a sing. or pl. verb) A procedure or set of maneuvers engaged in to achieve an end, an aim, or a goal.

And you're right, I do hate Halo. It's a shitty game series.
