bpstiff Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I think my current favorite for slayer would have to be: Battle Rifle (or light rifle) DMR Plasma grenade Jet pack Firepower (allowing 2 primary weapons) Mobility or Awareness (these two are interchangable for me) Obviously, this changes depending on the map and game-type but I find the above loadout to be kind of a swiss army knife. I can handle any situation with it. How about you? What's your favorite loadout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W01FE Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I dont really enjoy headshot weapons as i like to get in close to do my killing most of the time. Assault Rifle (or variant depending on my mood and the map) pistol 90% of the time for when i need to rely on some head shotting, plasma when i need to deal with vehicles thruster pack Dexterity shield faster shield regen=regenning shield before enemy dexterity=weapon switch/reload before enemy thruster pack=crazy stuff capable in close quarters People might call em noob guns, but i find jockeying for snipes boring as hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you aim for the head with it? I struggle mightily with that weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpewterschmidt Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I'm gonna try that out W01 it sounds fun. Do you find the AR to be really effective? Do you aim for the head with it? I struggle mightily with that weapon. I find it to be super effective in Halo 4 (as opposed to the previous games) at short range. If you're up against a DMR/BR and they miss 2 shots they're done for, if they miss 1 shot its a toss up. Remember to jump in the air/crouch right before they aim for the headshot after your shield goes down, gives u a split second longer to kill with the AR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W01FE Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 AR is very effective if used correctly. its still important to hit with it just as its important to hit with a DMR or a BR. your just not punished AS hard for some bullets missing since your spewing out more bullets with less DPH (damage per hit) some maps you may find you need mobility for constant sprints, but sprints are double edged swords because of that half second it takes to bring the weapon up from sprinting. often times ill use my thruster to thrust in a arc around my enemey when my shield goes down. thruster ducks (crouch animationish) and gives sudden acceleration, really screwing up that head shot the DMR guy needs. the arc is so i can get some melee in usually. lots of times my kills are from melee and not the AR itself as i used the AR to weaken him for that one punch kill.

Very cool. I'm gonna have to give that a shot as soon as I get home from work. It sounds like a fun change of pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like a fun change of pace. keep in mind its still at best a mid>close range weapon, in the larger maps you may find it difficult to get good results, and dont be afraid to run away if a DMR player got the first shot on you.

Oh, of course. I'll probably run the class with the firepower ability and have a DMR/BR as a backup weapon just to help me ease into the new playstyle.

MelnykMachine Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 So far my favourite loadout is DMR Magnum Plasma Grenades Promethean Vision Shielding Dexterity I also have a second loadout the same, except I replace the DMR with an AR. I tend to use the former on larger maps with better shooting lanes, and the latter on smaller maps, where close range kills are more frequent. I love the promethean vision because I get killed by crouch corner campers a lot less often. It's also good when someone is in Camo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
