Halo 4 Eurogamer Hands On Interview with the Halo Council

Kritical shares his hands on impressions from the Eurogamer event where Halo 4 was playable. LasT MaN and u4iX ask about how the starting weapons feel, or the secondary weapons behave, how the new sniper rifle compares to previous games, how powerful the Needler rifle is, and the overall weapon sandbox balance.

Special thanks to Adam Kovic from Machinima for allowing us to use this Solace gameplay.

[John Boykin]

So the Needler is overpowered because someone killed him with it, yet the Bolt Shot and the Sticky Detonator are wonderful because he was on the giving end with it.

He has some good points, but I'm not going to place a lot of stock in his opinion if his views are based on what he used and what was used against him.

[LordEmpyreal]

This, it also has a counterpart for the first time ever in Halo 4, the Saw. And from what I hear, you become almost a Juggernaut when you use the SAW, able to take on 3 opponents and live with ease.

[Fritz Turner]

Battle rifle is extremely OP

[lee155912000]

So pretty much the sniper takes some skill again ? Reach's snipe was fun but compared to the H3 snipe the Reach snipe was easy mode. No more sweep sniping like H2 and Reach in H4.

[Mrtoaman]

weird, when i went to eurogamer 2012 the ques for halo were long but only took about 15 minutes max.

[WhatTheCarp]

I was excited that the SAW was going to be a normal gun. :(

[WhatTheCarp]

It's an infinity ordinance (sometimes) and only sometimes a world ordinace (weapons already laid down on the map) It will rarely be used.

[OutoftheblueNinja]

The SAW is power weapon, you can't spawn with it along with the needler.

[DearS0ciety]

Can people stop bitching about what too overpowered. It's balanced from what I've heard from the people who've actually played the damn game, but the fat pimply virgin whiners who haven't played it have the most to fucking say about it. Shut the fuck up.

[hartham444]

until your ammo runs out :P (it runs out very fast)

[Definitequill9]

I think the SAW is too overpowered from what i've seen

[MiauFrito]

the sniper and rockets shouldn't be reloadable faster
