Thanks, buddy.
My dad got me two records, and I picked up D3, and I've got lunch with my best pals planned for tomorrow! It'll be a good 21.Attack robot dogs. Ship it.

Well that looks like where its headed with these forerunner? enemies. Watcher, so on so forth. Named after their role in battle.
Yes H2 Jackal Snipers were too good. Theres a medium ground though. Theres also ways to make combat more dynamic.
Everything should be explored.

Good games everyone. Sorry I got disconnected again. I have no idea what is causing this.
What? How did that happen? What was the final 'cheevo?

Enemies with hitscan weapons usually make for pretty dull encounters.
What's the point of strafing if the AI can just keep pinging you with their perfect aim no matter how you move?

Just watched the Revolution video heckfu posted. I've got a bad feeling about this one. I'll give it a shot for sure, but the whole time I'm going to be thinking of The Postman and Enslaved.
Corrinne Yu on Twitter confirmed that it was Halo 4 Senior Art Director Kenneth Scott who did the cover.

They cleared one page in three minutes. One hundred posts in three minutes. It's kind of fascinating to watch.
Godspeed.

Did the enemies in Combat Evolved have hitscan? That's still my favorite campaign, but i have no idea what traits they were given.
I don't think so. Plasma had travel time I believe.

Thinking about changing my gamertag since I've never really been a fan of my current one. I need suggestions.

Im going to be Juices#1991 in D3. Anyone who wants to add me or whatever feel free.
Thanks!
Something charmander related, obviously.
Uh-oh, you can sense the impending meltdown brewing in the Diablo thread. I hope Blizzard takes their time sorting out the issues, the drama is always fun.

Pretty much this, except for when Flood use human weapons. I'm not sure if human weapons were hitscan or not in CE, but if they weren't then the travel time would be fast enough as to not make much of a difference. You won't be strafing around bullets any time soon.
Franklinator
Member
Haha I like all of these.
I'm wanting something with Franklin in it since Franklinator is already taken. Best I can come up with is Franklinaut
Are we that bad?
Barrow Roll

And there's our answer.
The human bullet based weapons must've had a very fast travel time then, no?
I think my point still stands though. I hate fighting Heretic Elite's in FF because it's not dynamic. They just hit you, you can't do anything about it except hide in cover. I don't know if the beam rifle in Halo 2 is hitscan or not, but the same principle applies. You can't dodge the sniper beam, you can't see the shot being fired and retaliate or dodge on the fly, it just happens and you're dead. You just to have to spot and shoot them before they shoot you, it's completely uninteresting.
You had to lead everything, hence the silly sound Gearbox added to the PC version to confirm that your bullets were landing, since the player movement + bullet travel time got fucked with when the ping changed.
From what I vaguely remember:
Everything in Halo 1 is not hitscan
Halo 2: BR, Sniper Rifle, etc became hitscan like Quake/TF2 uses it (client was trusted a lot, hence the appearance of Sweep Sniping)
Halo 3: Only the Spartan Laser was technically hitscan in the engine, although the Sniper Rifle was functionally hitscan on everything besides Sandtrap at the greatest distances (Source)
Reach: The DMR, Sniper Rifle. and Magnum all have their bullet travel simulated to the maximum distance in a single frame, so are functionally hitscan, but the host still simulates everything.
4: We have the BR confirmed as hitscan, but we don't know if it's Halo 2 style or Reach style yet.
And yes, the Heretics perfect aim makes them annoying as shit, and their rockets home in on you. And the way they use the GL gives me nightmares.

Just a few moments ago, I stepped outside, ready to head to my final day of classes. Just as I'm about to hop on my bike, the gods unleash rain, thunder and lightning on my small country town.
If there has ever been a clearer message that I don't need classes on Excel, I haven't seen it.
EDIT: Holy shit, that box art is real? I like it.

I'm in love with this box art. Almost as good as ODST.

WTF, why is HeckFu banned?

He made one too many fu puns
Franklinator

I think he was banned because of the Halo 4 box art thread, but I could be totally wrong since I can't look up his post history at the monent (on my iPod). So I say my stupid brother monsterfracas owes him a heartfelt apology for making that thread.
