Halo 4: Modders save the day

Descoping is doable in Halo 4. Yes its a modder whos managed to do it rather than 343, but damn.... if I could get descoping back in Halo 4 I might consider giving it another go. Flinch just sucks balls.

  • The thing is. Descoping is actually a very good mechanic. Sniping takes skill and in Halo 4 sniping is easy because you don't descope. You can just pick of headshots. In 1 on 1 battles descoping caused the player to no scope. They could also scope again to try to win the battle. It created lots of competitive, hard battles. No scoping was a risk and scoping was a risk. It was different in every situation. With flinch you can easily draw into a gun battle and easily win since you don't descope, you can easily get headshots and pick of people who have say assault rifles in close range. Say if you could descope and an assault rifle attacker was shooting at you at very close range, you'd have to no scope and use your skill to get headshots. In Halo 4 you can just pick em off. Well at least I do. One reason I find Halo 4 easy is because of flinch. I still struggle with Halo 3 in lone wolves 40-50 lol. I know it was annoying but it made the game take more skill not to mention made the game more fair and competitive. Well that's my opinion though, haha. I just hope it comes back in Halo 5.

    • 343 could have always done it. They just won't. They'd rather watch the series crumble piece by piece.

    • It's funny how modders are the one fixing this game instead of 343

      • That's the way how Halo should be, and more. Much more. 343 is terrible at maintaining the franchise.

        • Oh no. This would make it even harder for me to get headshots like before all over again. :/

        • 343 is the new Bethesda. Instead of them adding things into the game that should have been in it or removing/changing things that should have never been done. The community are the ones that are doing it. The only thing 343 has to do now is make the next Halo one buggy game.

            Descoping doesnt make sense. Your HUD is smartlinked to the scope. You aren't using the physical scope on the weapon. If you HUD descopes you in combat from being shot that will just throw off your aim and possibly kill you.

            • I love how 343 said it wasn't possible to add descoping, and yet, there it is!

              • Meh, not even a thought for me. It does not bother me at all in either game, I do just as good.

              • Descoping sucked balls, it was basically a 1st shooter wins at long range. So much for both sides being on equal footing.

                • [quote][url=http://www.bungie.net/7_So-I-heard-you-like-descoping-and-dropping-flags/en/Forum/Post?id=61438090#referred-Gaming][u][b]Update #1[/b][/u] Apparently, the descope mod doesn't work well with Forerunner weapons at the moment. Weaponless Flag holding is achieved by giving the player an Oddball and then deleting it immediately after. Flag juggling "doesn't seem impossible" to include with the mods. It is 100% confirmed that we can get modded No Sprint + Descope gametypes. [u][b]Update #2[/b][/u] Not only is this an extremely complicated mod, it is not something that is actually coded, nor does it technically remove the flinch mechanic. Synth92 is using some coding "tricks" to essentially trick the game into implementing descope. This is NOT something that is a full fledged feature and we will probably see more bugs down the road. Therefore, this is not something that 343 needs to "explain" or give a statement on. It's simply a modder finding a unique way to "recreate" a wanted feature with the tools we are given. For an absolutely perfect descope to work, we still have to wait for the next Halo title from 343.[/url][/quote]

                  • I hated descoping with a passion. I still strongly dislike Halo 4, but it's for totally different reasons.

                    • Why does anyone care? If you idiots get the same game you complain that there weren't any or enough changes, but then you also complain if you don't get the same exact game as before. Jesus.

                      • Descoping is probably towards the bottom of the list when it comes to my issues with Halo 4.

                        • I honestly don't understand people as i remember seeing this being asked of bungie during halo 3 yet when you get it nobody wants it. Then people want to talk about how halo should be more "realistic" well realistically people if you are getting shot at in power armor with shields there isn't any law that states you must descope. Which in itself is funny as the weapon is linked to the armors systems

                            • The guy who has worked out descoping is also working on classic Flag, where you can drop the flag and melee with the flag (no Flagnum).
