      BioDefault for real tho this gun is why I stoped playing CE multiplayer, like oh dw we nerfed it now it’s only a 3 head shot kill with a fucking pistol. And everyone either uses it or gets killed by it. I don’t know what matches my dude in the vid was getting but I have never seen a shotgun player kill a magnum player, been on both sides of that encounter and a good magnum user can land the 3 shots before the shotgun can even be cocked a second time. Gun is definitely one of the most unbalanced weapons in any multiplayer. Right up there with the noob tube and one man army combo.

    Just as a fyi. Bungie compiled all the files that make up halo ce (also known as TAGS) together on a per map basis not as a shared system. The reason the magnum is so good in multiplayer is because one of the devs decided it needed to be stronger and changed the values in the weapon tag without anyone knowing just before the final compliling of the multiplayer maps. Singleplayer already having been compiled by that time was unaffected by the change thus why the difference in the original xbox version. The reason the MCC port retains the overpowered multiplayer settings was that when bungie handed over the files to gearbox interactive, so that they could create the pc port, the tag file for the magnum contained the edited numbers. Therefore when they recompiled the campaign for pc it was no longer different. The reason this is relevant is because 343 used the pc version to port onto the xbone for mcc that is also why the aiming feels weird compared to original xbox, its because gearbox edited a ton of the weapon files to work better with the highly accurate mouse and keyboard controls and therefore you have less bullet and reticule magnetisim across the board due to not needing it with the high precision of mouse and keyboard.

    • @Blox117
      @Blox117 Před 5 lety +4

      no shit pal, aiming on PC is a lots better

    • @asandysoldier3164
      @asandysoldier3164 Před 4 lety +5

      Blox117 depends on the game and situation, a sniper or ranged weapon might be better, but generally in halo its more fun with a controller, its more of an advantage if you have a keyboard because of the twitchiness and accuracy, but most of the time controllers are better, unless of course your playing an rts or strategy type game..

      Your still an asshole here just as much as the other threads.

      I never knew about the aiming changes they did, and it explains why I love my og halo ce copy more than mcc. I always felt like aiming was awful on mcc ce but I could never figure out why and thought I was crazy or something!
      I really wish they would re-edit mcc ce with the original code and not the shitty af Gearbox port

      A couple of the markings (also on the CE and H2 magnum) are translated to the number 7. Which is obviously a reference to bungees love for the number. Canonically though, I do think a lot of the weapons and some of the armors have their origins in Korea and Japan

    Magnum Evolution in my experience
    CE: Handgun of Christ
    2: Horrible
    Gearbox CE: Dunno, never used it because I never got the chance.
    3: Not as bad as 2 but not that great because its aim feels weird and it’s fire rate is slow., also missing the scope.
    ODST: Awesome, easily 2nd best in my opinion. Fires fast, is accurate, sounds cool, looks nice.
    Reach: Great, looks good, fires fast, and is consistent with its accuracy if you know what your doing.
    4: Good, looks a little weird because it’s missing some of its iconic features and it’s ammo capacity is pitiful as for most weapons in Halo 4.
    Halo 2 Anniversary: Horrible. Still.
    5: (Regular Magnum) Pretty good, reliable and works well, but looks meh, missing its iconic features still.
    5: (Gunfighter Magnum) Good, fast and resembles a Colt .45
    5: (Tactical Magnum) Nice. Like it, good little callback to the ODST Pistol but lacks iconic features as all standard magnums in Halo 5.
    5 (Whispering Truth) Dunno, never really used it.
    5: (CE Legendary Version) Handgun of Christ and then some, but severely lacks in ammo capacity.
    All in all, favorite version is the Halo 5 CE Magnum, but if I had to pick on to rely on more commonly it would be the original CE Magnum because it’s ammo capacity is a lot higher, able to hold 120 extra rounds.

    10:40 - They focus on THOSE items because they are MORE dynamic, and SERVER PREDICTION is harder to use for them. It's easier to predict a bullet, than a bouncing grenade.
    The sniper, rocket, and rigid bodies (cones, barrels, fusion coils, anything that moves via physics) likely causes much more network chatter and priority than other elements.
    They also did this to allocate precious server resources (game was built around p2p --which I prefer as the game can't be shut down in the future-- and not dedicated servers) as the xbox 360 could only process so much without performance hiccups. It takes A LOT of cpu to verify player data, projectiles, rigid bodies in motion, etc to prevent movement hacks that halo 2 had en masse. MS has kind of given up on xbox 360, so h3 now is riddled with cheaters online.
    The network code wouldn't "freak out," it would just move these dynamic elements (non-projectiles) to the "front" of each line of objects to be updated each game loop, and if they couldn't get to the end of the "queue," the items that were missed would be given a "bump" to their priority so they'd be more likely to be updated in future game loops (as each frame loop had an allocated amount of time it could run to maintain a healthy FPS). The dynamic items had such a high priority that it'd take multiple game loops to update projectiles before their priority was higher than dynamic items in high action situations. Most of the time this was fine, as server prediction would handle a lot of the projectiles, but with latency, network issues, and other variables, it could miss-judge data and you'd get oddities.

    My favorite Magnums are either the Halo CE Magnum for being so god damn strong or for the Halo 5 basic version, because it feels snappy, fast yet has quiet the punch to it. It really is a tie, because the sandboxes are so vastly different.
    I would like to suggest the next big thing in terms of firearms from Halo : The Rocketlauncher. Now this is a weapon that would fit into a different category of reasons why you would use it and I am quiet interested what your takes are on that gun, especially since with almost each iteration of Halo, a new competitor would arrive from Fuel Rod cannon to Spartan Laser.
    With that being said, I would like to give some minor constructive criticsm. I notice that with this video, you kinda make a similar sort of video reminiscant of the documentry styled videos of the Legendary Ahoy does with his takes on talking about firearms from both in and outside the realm of video games. In his style he goes fullblown documentary on every video, making you believe this was done on the Discovery Channel, highly professional. My minor criticsm is just that in your approach, you sometimes say phrases like " guard-thing" at 17:43 to describe the appearance of the gun. Most of the video feels proffesional with the occational meme tossed in there which is perfectly fine. Its just that minor way you described the gun that took me out of the nearly immersive , documentary talk about all those magnums in the history of Halo. IF you plan to do more of these videos with an intent to make them feel like a documentary , please consider avoiding such wording. That would increase the value so much more of these particular videos. Other than that, this was very entertaining and educational. I wasn't aware of the major differences of the CE Magnum on the OG Xbox vs the PC Port!

    Anecdotally, I was a player who discovered that magic rhythm that the magnum needed in order to main the weapon at anything other than melee range. It was *just* shy of the DMR's max rate of fire, and *only* just. But my finger got used to that rhythm, and god damn was that the most fun I've had with that game. It was a lot more satisfying to me to use the magnum in that way, and I even managed to win a surprising amount of duels with DMR users who just spammed their shots.
    And this might just be me, but when I first started maining the magnum, barely anyone used it. After a long while of playing, I took a break, then I came back and saw that a lot of people were just using it to open their fights, and it made me wonder if I had started a trend or not.
