Jetpacks? Really? What a bunch of horseshit plus did you see how big the targeting reticule for the sniper was??? Its looking like Bungie officially noobified halo... And damn im pissed halo was pretty much the last console shooter that actually took skill...



Long Live SHIO!

The reticule got bigger because the accuracy decreases immediately after you shoot.  That way you cannot just pop off shots with the same accuracy for each shot.  The same goes for the DMR as well.  So it actually places an emphasis on skill and a good rythm with your shots.



Sounds good to me

This.

 

Agreed.



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

Pretty much what Jagged said.  Don't rip on it until you've tried it man, Bungie has never made a bad MP Halo game yet so why would there last one that they are putting so much effort into be bad?

By the looks of it Reach is gonna take at least twice as much skill as Halo 3 took.

Go to IGN and watch the rewind video on this trailer. You will understand and observe some things you have not noticed. Jetpacks will be a ability or perk (whatever you want to call it) along with sprint, overshield, active camo, invisible to rader etc. Don't know how these abilities will be utilised but its not like everyone is going to by flying around with jetpacks on. As was explained earlier the reticule enlarges after you fire so you can't rapid fire the sniper at someone after you miss. Now you actually have to aim instead of spraying.



It'll be great guys. Just like Warhawk! Just j'king of course!

Personally, I think that looks pretty good and I'm sure Bungie will make this mechanic fun.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

With jetpacks it starts looking like Tribes, I'm unsure



This gmae is going to destroy alot of people's free time and not so free time...lol.
