Rockets actually seem underpowered af in this game I've seen them do nothing to vehicles (which they should absolutely blow up cause they're one of the few counters) and I've shot them right next to dudes and still had to finish the guy off with my secondary, excuse me wut.

but when the enemy has it? basically a nuke
Honestly I think the weapon balance is off too. BR does better in close against AR with the way aim assist is you can just side shuffle and kill scoped out. But it in turn gets scoped out and fired upon harsh by AR at a crazy distance. Basically their range is flipped.
The weapon balance is off for sure, and rockets not doing anything much to vehicles is weird. But up close against other players, the rockets are bangers. Absolute bangers.
SPNKER splash damage is huge. Idk what to say if you're struggling to get kills with it.
All the other explosive stuff is weak as piss though. Fiesta will be real good for helping them tune the weapons though.
Skewer and Shock Rifle take me straight to pogtown.

By Hixx Go To PostSPNKER splash damage is huge. Idk what to say if you're struggling to get kills with it.Nah it's inconsistent damage like other things. I've got brehs off shooting it into a room at a wall and I've shot directly at people's feet and watched as it didn't kill them entirely. Also shot it directly at a warthog and it didn't do dick. Could be a latency thing too but I've noticed bullets and my aim will be ultra crispy some games and then others it's like I can hit someone with 3 melees but I die and the game just laughs at my shit.
By SavageGordonLung Go To Postanother movement trick
for the last 10 games i've been trying to complete the challenge to end an opponents kill streak
i finally gave up and switched it out
.........and then i get a killjoy
eat shit 343

I've been ignoring some challenges straight up because it's not worth the stress and hoping the stars align. Destroy 3 Wraiths, yah nah.

I certainly think there are latency issues. Melee feels awful due to it.
But yeah, no problems with the SPNKR on my end. Frequently get doubles and no problems blowing shit up with it. Love it!
Dramatic frame rate drops killed me like 3 times in one game and I have everything on low. Wonder if there's some other setting I missed.
Do you have the fps target thing set? The game will make itself go down dynamically to like 480p or some shit to keep 60+fps if you ask it to. It can look quite... something.
By Hixx Go To PostDo you have the fps target thing set? The game will make itself go down dynamically to like 480p or some shit to keep 60+fps if you ask it to. It can look quite… something.How do you set that up correctly anyway? I think I’ve got it enabled but I’m not seeing any noticeable resolution change
I just put min and max at 60 (my gpu is dying, so I only played 6 or 7 maps on PC) and it seemed to work. The 60 was rock solid... the res was all over the place. Got to a point where I couldn't actually make out enemies on maps like Behemoth. Woof.
Dude thanks for the info, I really need to just tank the graphics for now. I have a good set up/rig but the game just takes dives I have no idea what's up. I have a sneaking suspicion it's affecting my ability to kill people even outside of the dramatic frame drops cause it's in flux too much.

Got to a point where I couldn't actually make out enemies on maps like Behemoth. Woof.That’s how I have my set but to 120 for min/max. Left everything on high, I still get some odd 1% lows around 80-90, but oh well.
Hot take: The progression isn’t actually that slow. I got through 3 or 4 levels yesterday in one evening just playing and doing some challenges to get that new armour
They did change it up didnt they? Was slow as fuck the first days. But yeah, progression doesnt seem bad now.
Yeah progression seems much better now - it's noticeably different from when the game launched.
Fuck my 'get 3 kills with the mangler' challenge though.

It's still pretty shit, but this new event has sped things up considerably thanks to the easy event challenges and the weapon-specific challenges being MUCH easier due to the nature of fiesta slayer.
Now if they could only fix the proper issues (mouse aiming/auto aim/weapon balance)

By Andrew Go To PostYeah progression seems much better now - it's noticeably different from when the game launched.The mangler is pretty powerful. It's a three shot kill and the melee is super strong.

By rodeoclown Go To PostThe mangler is pretty powerful. It's a three shot kill and the melee is super strong.Oh I know, and the current event helps, but it leaves you at the mercy of trying to find one and making it count when you do.
By HonestVapes Go To PostI love the mangler tbh. The sniper though, fuck. Has Halo always had such a great sniper rifle?Yes
It used to be even better. The technique used to be fire-and-drag because the game would count every bit of the screen the cross hair covered during so many frames of the fire animation. Or maybe it was the naive aim assist. I don't remember things from 15 years ago that well. Lol
By HonestVapes Go To PostI love the mangler tbh. The sniper though, fuck. Has Halo always had such a great sniper rifle?
Yes, the sniper has always been amazing to use.....sadly it isn't in this game. It's a mess.
By Willkiller Go To PostYes, the sniper has always been amazing to use…..sadly it isn't in this game. It's a mess.I've had some decent success using it. It's not as easy as the H5 sniper was, but it's not H3, either.
By rodeoclown Go To PostI've had some decent success using it. It's not as easy as the H5 sniper was, but it's not H3, either.
I haven't tried it on console where I'll almost certainly be easier, it's hard right now to say if it's down to the actual weapon feel or if it's also a victim of the ever so slightly delayed input on a mouse
By Willkiller Go To PostYes, the sniper has always been amazing to use…..sadly it isn't in this game. It's a mess.I’m having a lot of success with it, on mouse and controller. If I pick it up, easy 3K almost every time.
I used to think the sniper was pretty bad in H:I but ever since I went back to the mouse I've been BANGING with it and the Shock Rifle. Doubles everywhere. Perrrrfect. So satisfying.
By HonestVapes Go To PostI’m having a lot of success with it, on mouse and controller. If I pick it up, easy 3K almost every time.
To be fair, me seeing it's a mess is exaggeration, if I pick it up I'm usually getting a couple of kills at least. Got a very nice kill on a chopper driver last night that was going full speed, but it still feels much harder to use in Infinite than all Halos in the MCC
Ran my Elite controller battery into the ground with Halo. Can’t find my charge cable. Went back to the normal controller and felt lost af 😭
By SavageGordonLung Go To Postisnt it just any usb-c cable?
I got it confused with the OG Elite which used micro USB
By Smokey Go To PostRam my Elite controller battery into the ground with Halo. Can’t find my charge cable. Went back to the normal controller and felt lost af 😭I’d def need paddles to play this on controller. Ain’t fucking my hands up with claw grip (again)
By Laboured Go To PostElite 2 comes with a nice magnetic charging stand no?
yeah. but aint nobody want to have charging stands and shit everywhere. in the bin
The free events will only cover 7 tiers for now if what I'm reading on Reddit is true.
You can pay for extra tiers apparently but challenges will stop coming.
I got to level 5 (for the armor) yesterday and I didn't get any new challenges so maybe it's a daily thing.

yeah, and you can have it sit on it in the case and charge. but you still need the cable for da juice.
By Lupercal Go To PostThe free events will only cover 7 tiers for now if what I'm reading on Reddit is true.I think I’m level 7 for the event, so it definitely goes passed that. Although for a brief moment I wasn’t getting any, I thought I capped out. After completing a few more regular ones it gave me another event challenge

Think I’ll just give up though. I don’t really care about the customization in this game because they did it poorly.
I didn’t realize the white armor color was specific to the mark vii, so even though I’m using the mark v, I can’t use that color. I have no idea why they did it this way, but it’s really dumb
well I was infact wrong about 90% of combat coming down to who gets the first shot
a lot of the more experienced dudes run away like a BITCH when I get the drop on them. strafing and jumping around doesn't really help them on PC though since movement is pretty slow compared to old school arena shooters like Quake or UT.
pretty fun game though, nice way of relaxing after work by getting a few rounds in. hope there are more maps and content soon.

yeah if you get shot first you should really go and try to break line of sight asap. The TTK is high but unless you're playing a BAD, whoever hits first is still usually going to win. Reversal medals are pretty rare.
Hey, I'm a (occasional) BAD.
I've started booking it when I get shot first - sometimes it works out, and I get a reversal, and sometimes I look like the clown emoji.
