Killa KC's new gametypes

[Havoc]

MLG NR, and the new V4 test maps are up in his file share.
DOes that suggest that the V4 gametypes will be Needle rifles only???

[MidKnight]

so needle rifles is your starting weapon...? Wow, this is stupid, no one even uses it in matchmaking and barely anyone in the circuit

[Havoc]

Noo good...Now our fearless MLG Pros will be running around shooting pink sparkles at each other..Blowing em up. haha.

[Ladnil]

There was a huge stink about why MLG wasn't testing 110% damage NR starts. I believe those gametypes are on his fileshare solely to placate the people bitching over it.

Don't worry, MLG V4 will probably look exactly like MLG V3 except for the map/gametype combos.

[Harsh]

Idk, they might include it. But for now they're just testing.

[Morgacht]

I'm still for the DMR as a start, either being the only one or continuing the option of picking between the two. However, in the Classic playlist I've been using the Needle Rifle and I'm starting to love the weapon. I wouldn't be upset if V4 went to NR starts, but I agree that it's not likely

[Inexist]

Wow please don't predict anything in the V4 Official Release, they are just testing! Nothing is official until its right there in Black and White. :)

[Cantro]

DMR too good of a weapon on lan to not use it :(

[RagingChickens]

I understand that V4 is far far away from being finished, but think about it. Would the needle rifle be that bad? It punishes you when you spam, it's extremely accurate if you pace your shots, and people explode when you put 3 shots in them with no shields. I think the explosion is better than them just dying personally, that way you are immediately aware that you got the kill. Keep an open mind people! If this happened, it could be pretty cool.

I don't know about punishing you more when you spam, if i ever use it i spam the SHIT out of it and they all hit. I saw a youtube video where they were testing the NR and they dude was purposely shooting beside the head, yet the magnetism for the needle rifle made them all count. NR takes less skill than the DMR people just want it because its easier.

Can't disagree with the second part of that. But if you spam the needle rifle for the whole time, the reticle will literally completely come apart, making it almost impossible to hit your shots. I don't disagree with anything you said, all I am saying is that people should play these gametypes and really get a good feel for them before they say anything.

[Dust]

gotta agree with chickens the NR definitely punishes spamming more than the DMR

[Eamonn]

The NR is the most annoying gun in any halo ever. I might actually take a break from Halo if it becomes the only starting weapon you can use.

[zig8]

yea when your getting shot by it...it feels like 10 people are shooting you...

that shit is cheap online too, it registers better than the DMR but on LAN not really...

i think KC is just doing this to shut up the forum kids. i really doubt they will go with NR starts.

[wookiemanx]

I think the people who say the NR awards spamming are used to the slow pace that the DMR makes you shoot. The bloom resets much quicker on the NR, thus you can fire it quicker. You've still got to pace it if you were to spam it you wouldn't hit crap with the NR. I feel like the NR speeds up the pace of the game a lot more, but I know it's not going to get changed.

Even if its a bit better, its still the most annoying sounding thing ever made. I just can't see it being the starting weapon in MLG. Also the 110% damage would make grenades even more powerful (i think) :(.

Easy solution: 1 'nade start with reduced number of grenades on map. Bazinga.

that doesn't change the fact that they will pretty much kill you with one grenade

Grenades are a huge part of this game. Having one would be completely stupid. Mine as well just keep the 100% damage DMR. Hell just keep it how it is.. seems totally fine to me.

[Chilley]

the starting weapon being either dmr or nr does not matter. Every player should be able to use shoot both at an equal level

[FUBAR]

I wish the DMR circle was smaller like the Needle rifle. Even When the bloom fully resets I feel like it would just be better if it was smaller...

[Duke]

So it's NR at %110 damage right?... Is the DMR still a five shot weapon on those settings?

Cause that'd be sick if it wasn't, then it'd be a power up. Functioning like carbine start in halo 2 1v1 kind of. Could be interesting..

[TsuIVami]

I think the option to start with both will stay. I do like a few of these maps tho, most are better than Nexus, really needs to get removed.

[forefront]

I don't really like the NR. It feels stiff. Like switching to it makes my 3 sens a 2 sens.

[Kingdayame]

Did you guys try the new Sanctuary yet?

[TACO]

DMR too good of a weapon on lan to not use it :(

I second this

[mrkillboy]

The maps he is testing are awful.

[itzmydrpepper]

Did you guys try the new Sanctuary yet?

I heard (listening to Mikwen's stream last night) that the Sanc is awful..

Are they going to use the Warlock remake in V4?

[HEA7]

They are testing for sanc territories again. No more chrome floors, just grass. Jumpups are too high, carbine streets were raised a bit to block line of site. No screen lag. That's sanc for yah

I know this cuz I was playtesting with killer kcs helper

[MrChaosTheory]

I'm just going to say, a NR only gametype is great. It is underpowered when side by side to the DMR but alone is, more precise/accurate, has a longer range and the bloom resets quicker.

Also as it is usually 7 shots and the DMR is 5, when adjusting the damage intervals you cannot make the DMR a 4 shot without the sniper being 1 shot. The needle rifle is 6 shots in this version, with a fast reseting bloom it means you can kill quicker and at a longer range.
