And yet people have been conflating the two terms for many years. It's because the verb in both terms could theoretically apply to the other term. If you give each term a verb that can only be applied to what you're talking about, that wouldn't happen anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post

The bullet magnetism on every gun is frickin insane. I suspect they do that not just to counteract the spartan gimmicks and noob down the game for the codtards but also because it makes the netcode appear much better than it actually is. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Botheredhat360 Posted June 24, 2019 343 just doesn't seem to get it. I don't think they understood what halo was before they took control. It's almost like they just want to be another shooter in the very dense market they already exist in. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Gobias Posted June 24, 2019 Aim assist has always functioned like that, the difference being that starting in Halo 2 (probably) headshots are prioritized. You can see in that clip exactly when the corrected bullet path snaps onto the head. This avoids pulling bullets down to result in a bodyshot when you were aiming for the head like in Halo 1. One solution, barring total removal of bullet magnetism, is to remove the vertical component of the correction. Next, the bullet magnetism needs to be a lot lower at close range. That fixes the problems Halo has always had with various aim assist systems. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

The game is also a ton of fun now that it finally works, can't wait for the progression system and ranked ZBNS and Invasion. Works? If by works you mean EUR, MEX, and COL bad kids getting a latency tolerance boost on US East or US West server requiring 8-10 head shots to kill them while they can 3 you easily across the map, then I guess it's fixed. Why should a game take me 10 minutes to finish and be unrealistic when it should be over in 5 min like it does against 4 players in the US? People can actually land their shots when all players on a given server are near it. This foreigner shot registry handicap I've been hearing so much about needs to go. Most have stopped playing CE for this reason. I hardly play anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post

I said it works as in "I can find games very quickly, it doesn't crash left and right and I'm not stuck in endless MM for 30 minutes", not that the game is fully fixed. Yes CE (and H3 for that matter) hitreg is still ass the vast majority of the time and the game is obviously not fit for competitive play. Quote Share this post Link to post
Basu Posted June 25, 2019 At 2:02 this shit is exactly why bullet mag on rockets should just be removed from all the games honestly. It either doesn't do shit or fucks you over, very rarely will it actually help the user. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

Another advantage to "bullet redirection" is that branding makes it sound kind of ridiculous. Humans are stupid and branding has a huge influence on how people perceive things.

The dev can call it what they feel best suits their needs. You’re right, it’s not a good marketing term. Quote Share this post Link to post

I used to hate Rocket Hog Race too, but I can’t lie, it did get me a lot better at driving. Im working on drawing attention to non-H1 settings that need work. I think we pretty much have H1 where we want it, and I’m ready to hone in on something else. I’m not the guy who makes the decisions or makes the changes, but they do seem to listen to me a lot.

Basically all Assault and CTF gametypes in H2A blow because the score to win is too low and returning the flag takes an eternity even on maps like Warlock. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

The thing I learned most from Rocket Hog Race was how to land on your wheels most of the time. I learned that when you're rolling, gas makes you roll more, reverse slows your roll, and L trigger makes your wheels "stick". I had a group of 3 that we played with a lot to try for a Halotracker 50, and by the time I got it, we hardly ever had to bail out of the hog. The ones I always hated were Elite Slayer bc the gameplay is molten shit, and KotH because if you wanted to win you had to die a lot. We always voted Slayer unless there was some 3 Ball or Headhunter available. 3 Ball was our shit. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
