[@BloodKitten_]

small technical note, player spartan and player elites fire from the camera, in anniversery graphics it seem like the weapon is position on the floor, so if you would untick the first from camera, the shots would likely come from the floor where the weapon is located in. the same would go for AI, they all do not fire from camera, but if they were, the shots would not originate from the weapon they hold.

[@ART1E057]

i havent seen it mentioned yet but i figure it's worth pointing out the GPMG's reticle is recycled from the old SMG reticle seen in the E3 03 demo

What about the human turret (GPMG) that Marines can be seen carrying before setting it up? Like Johnson at the beginning of Cairo Station or that one Marine in Metropolis before the Scarab destroys the Scorpion.

[@tannerskatrud7504]

The reason the Hunter cannon comes out of his forehead is because that is where the camera is and probably the default point that projectiles, at least some of them, are shot out of. Otherwise you would be able to have someone in your crosshairs on screen but the gun could be blocked and you just shoot a wall or a low barrier. You can do it with the detachable turrets in other Halo games, and some more realistic games do it on purpose as a feature.

the silenced SMG was in Halo 2 assuming it was meant for the ODST's only but Chief could use it too, but was scrapped and later used for Halo 3 ODST instead.

[@DasUTuberYahoo]

I have a couple of ideas for videos. #1 - Halo (any of the games) - Can you force enemies to run out of ammo? I know that Marines seem to have an infinite amount of ammo, but I've also noticed that enemy weapons can have a different amount of leftover ammo depending on how soon you kill them. #2 - Titanfall 2 - Can you save the militia test subjects in "Survive the Dome Simulation?"

[@derekmensch3601]

No enemies can't run out. The ammunition left is entirely randomized

[@v3co]

You can get the "big needler" on outskirts without modding by using arbitrary unit possession to take over the phantom at the very beginning.

[@coin2094]

stuff like holding the jackel shield shows the creative routes the new games could've taken instead of making all the weapons less interesting and making the alien weapons more like human weapons. they could've made new covenant weapons, human weapons, and made some of the older ones usable like this. it would've added alot while still being true to the franchise.

[@otminealnamer1385]

I would love to see the jackal shield modded well into campaign as an item you can pick up. It looks like it could offer some pretty fun gameplay of taking less damage at the cost of doing less damage, given the dual-wield penalty on weapons would still apply. Would be pretty nifty to just sort of tank one's way through tough segments. SPV3 adds it, but it's kind of pointless since you can only punch with it. It'd be a whole different ballpark with the ability to fire a weapon with it(or even cooler, go full medieval and wield it with an energy sword.)
