Welcome to the forums

BPR goes entirely off of K/D actually. A K/D of 2.0 or higher results in a BPR of 100 while a K/D of 1.0 results in a BPR of 50.

Or just has the ability to retain lots of knowledge with near picture perfect detail.

That is another thing. I find that the way they are structuring the grenades in Halo 4 to be a bit strange. You have the plasma grenade which is in a catagory of its own, and then you have the frag and promethean grenade which serve the same sort of [playstyle. Both wreck havoc to opponenets shield. I think that the only difference is that the Promethean Grenade has a hard radius of effect while the frag grenade is softer and less effective the further you are away from it. Because there is not enough difference I find myself believing that there is further differences between the two. Perhaps the Promethean Grenade has half the detonation time as the others or instantly detonates upon coming in contact with another enemy?

Wait now I'm getting extremely confused. I thought it was confirmed in Halo 4 that you could only have the BR, DMR, Carbine, Assualt Rifle, and Storm Rifle as primary weapons in War Games loadouts. Where is everybody coming up with snipers, rockets, and shotguns? On a small side note you would also have to choose a grenade. As a BTB player I would have to go with the plasma nade for its anti-vehicle effectivness. However if the Promethean grenade was given a speedier detonation time than that might be more effective in an anti-vehicle role.

Carbine and Plasma Pistol with Hardlight Shield. Until I see more footage of the three major precision weapons I will stick to the conclusion that the Carbine has the fastest kill times. This loadout is designed from a BTB perspective (my favorite playlist), so it will also feature the plasma pistol for use in disabling vehicles. Continuing with the theme of BTB I view the BTB as a possible asset for my play style. It will let you survive vehicle combat if used properly. Of course once new game footage is released and somebody examines it/does the math this is subject to change. Yes I know that 343industries has spent time since E3/RTX tweaking kill times... but this does not mean they are completely even yet. I do not think that they are going to let us start with shotgun right out of the spawn. That would be way OP in CQB prominent maps and promote camping in corners and such.

I do not like this idea at all because rank doesn't really mean anything (whether it's reach system or trueskill). Now perhaps they could have a playlist for people that have all the loadout items unlocked or a playlist for the lowest of the lows so that they could be able to play without getting smacked around by more skilled players every game. Aside from that I do not see the point in giving playlists by ranks because ranks in the Halo series have always been largely flawed in determining a players skill. Therefore this would accomplish nothing to funnel the players in with similarly matched opponents.

I sort of have to agree with a lot of people on this thread. You have regular grenades which serve to lower shields drastically and generally work in the same way ad the Promethean Grenade. Then you have the plasma pistol for using to stun vehicles. So what real void will the Promethean Grenade be filling. It will obviously be more powerful in terms of lowering a shield than a Frag grenade so I guess that is the thought process with it. Here's the way I see it working in Halo 4. The "O" represents the grenade and the numbers represent the damage (1 being the lowest and three removing all shields) Promethean Grenade Frag Grenade O --- 3 --- 3 --- 3 --- 3 O -- 5 -- 4 -- 3 -- 2 -- 1

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is easily my favorite RTS game.

I do not know. But welcome back to the site. Judging by your sig you must be a really back in the day member.

Well while I get what you are saying it takes less than a second to dispatch somebody with the noob combo. So if the noob fires first the player will be dead very very shortly after they recognize the situation.

My continued opinion on this subject

Yes but that would still be 1-3 noobular kills and the ability to pick up other fully charged plasma pistols from the large percentage of the population that will undoubtedly be using them.

Meh, stupid deliberatly malicious people. Served no purpose but to cause stress for the staff over at THC.

All I'm trying to say is that there will be a very VERY large problem in the majority of playlists if the Plasma Pistol is not nerfed drastically. It is a very effective anti-vehicle threat that when used in mass will make vehicles way less useful than it should be. In regular slayer gametypes people will strategically lurk with it and go for the easy noob combo kill. Neither of these options seem good to me and I think that the only solution is inconsistency or severe nerfing.

The same reason a spartan super soldier would magically not be able to pick up grenades You can still get the From the Grave medal... It would just be far far rarer.

I think that it is stupid that you can no longer pick up grenades off the ground. Supposedly some people like it because it doesn't allow for massive grenade spamming... but it still seems a little overkill to me.

That's great. Was it a Denial of Service attack by any chance?

Prove to me that you are not figments of my imagination. In other words how do I know that other people really exist.

20,000 shouts needed If only Azaxx was here...

With the ability to instantly respawn being added in Halo 4, won't that make T-bagging less effective. I mean now they they may or may not be looking when you do it.

Welcome to the Website

Sure. Here you go. http://www.littleenglishhaloblog.com/2012/06/new-halo-4-info-blowout-via-expertzone.html It is on the thread titled "Online Experience." The way I interpreted it was that they were bringing back a clan system.
