The plasma repeater is the storm rifle prototype
wait actually???
Pain
Yeah, for 343, bungie didn't even know what the feck halo 4 was gonna be or if it was even going to be a thing.
@@Nikos. yeah
I think the plasma repeater tried to be both the assault rifle and the plasma rifle but failed to be both
The grenade launcher for me is absolute top tier. If you have the grenade launcher as well as 2 plasma grenades, you are absolutely equipped to take down any vehicles on the enemy team. Plus if you can land the grenade close enough to an enemy player's body, it is a 1-hit kill. And if you detonate the nade close enough to a player but not enough to get a 1-hit kill, their health and shields are basically gone so you can just pull out your DMR and finish them with a precision shot. I definitely agree though that in the campaign it is weak as hell and it seems that even if I detonate the nade right on the enemy's head, it still takes 2+ nades to kill them, so it goes from being my essential weapon in multiplayer to a weapon that I don't even use when it appears in the campaign.
the DMR in the entire sandbox is an A tier for sure, but in JUST reach, its SS. There is literally no reason to use any other gun besides a couple power weapons, it can shred vehicles with combined fire from cross map
DMR at an A is heinous. Yes, it’s not as OP as the BR, but there is no BR in Reach, so you basically have a Death Star compared to the other Reach weaponry. I don’t think I was ever better at Halo (relative to the other players at the time) than during Reach with a DMR. Gotta be S-Tier at least and I’d have SS.
The distance you could 5-shot people from was bananas. I’d rather have a DMR with one clip than any other weapon other than a sniper or rocket launcher.
Depends on which dmr early halo reach days the bloom was horrendous in mcc 343 changed making it easier to use
DMR and Needle Rifle both can legit carry a legendary solo run
@@1778903 as long as you let bloom reset, and it only required waiting a fraction of a second, you had perfect accuracy at sniper distance, 5 shot kill. It was insane
The Focus Rifle DID make another appearance... as part of the Bungie Anniversary content in Destiny 2, in the form of a weapon called Retraced Path. Definitely not a power weapon, though!
Retraced path is crazy good
Huge disagree on the Grenade Launcher. It is easy a S Tier if not higher. It has a longer learning curve then most halo weapons and its potential exists in the variability. If the damage would be higher, it would be unfair.
- it has two fire modes (a auto detonation mode and a manual detonation mode)
- the bouncing of the nades let you shoot around corners or longer ranges or special vertical plays (elsewise only fragnades can do)
- the manual mode (holding the trigger) can be used for direct kills (short, mid AND long range) or you can use it as a "mine"-detonator for a passive play-style like in defends gamemodes or good old "map control"
- the auto mode and a fast weapon swap for quick midrange engagements (like indoor or crowds)
- It deals EMP against vehicles (THE excellent weapon for air-vehicle hijacks) and the shields of enemy crowds (if not multikills)
- or multiple fast shots to destroy a vehicle (just another variable)
- it has a very good reload time (so it can easy keep up with other explosive weapons which do more damage)
Like Nikos I miss the Plasma Launcher, too :,(
Can't say I agree with many of these rankings. I think when it came to conventional weapons you were basing them entirely on their effectiveness in normal matchmaking ground combat and not the virtues of the gun itself. It is as if you were subtly comparing them to the DMR and obviously the DMR is built for ordinary ground combat as a de facto headsplitter. You weren't being entirely reasonable in your rankings.
The Plasma Pistol's normal fire is a rapid shield stripper with high melee synergy. The Assault Rifle is universally applicable in all conventional situations (against shields, flesh, vehicles) but not very effective. It's an underrated loadout weapon that you usually spawn with and allows you to engage just about anything. The Focus Rifle is OPPRESSIVELY effectively at extreme long ranges surpassing the Sniper Rifle. The Concussion Rifle can flip a Warthog in one shot if aimed correctly, same with all other light vehicles. The Concussion Rifle also lets you bounce objects & people around quite effectively. The Plasma Repeater is a mostly versatile weapon with good effectiveness at close range. The Needle Rifle is a damn good headsplitter with potent versatility combined with full auto & tighter reticule bloom than the DMR. Plasma Rifle is a SHIELD STRIPPING GOD but no effectiveness against flesh. Etc, etc. (I can agree with your Spiker rating though. Damn good art style, rubbish gun though.)
I sensed you were ranking based almost entirely on their raw killing power in standard matchmaking PvP compared to the DMR. You glossed over their utilities to a criminal degree. The Grenade Launcher is definitely an SS without question, just needs some awareness and mindfulness.
i came here to say that.
not every weapon is an easy point and shoot tool, they need some strategy behind it. concussion rifle is a very good example, but also the plasma repeater. i've got plenty of kills with it. just ranking weapons on raw power just means you don't know how to handle them properly.
the focus rifle isn't a sniper replacement, it's an experimental hybrid between the beam rifle and a sentinel beam. this is all just basic halo lore.
also, reach's energy sword is totally different from the one in halo 3, and that's not even mentioned.
I was gonna say the same thing about the DMR. To my personally I enjoy it more than the BR because it’s “actual precision” so something like swat felt so much better to play.
One plus of the DMR over the BR is that it’s pinpoint accurate if you space your shots. Can’t tell you how many times I died to sniper jackles just out of red reticle range due to BR spread that wouldn’t have happened with a DMR. Also, a note to consider, a properly spaced DMR fire rate is about the same as the BR fire rate. S tier imo
The spikers melee damage moves it up a tier for me.
Disagree on the Plasma Pistol. It not only carries the same abilities it's had since Halo 3, but it's default fire is actually really good. I'd have put it in B-tier to be quite frank.
Needle rifle not being in S tier is a shame. It’s basically a CE magnum, you can hold down the trigger to keep firing just like the CE magnum
Plasma pistol got a massive damage buff and AOE splash on it's overcharge, I'd say B tier.
Deadass came looking for this video last week
PvP nade launcher's an S. No question, and I'll usually take it over rockets due to its ammo plus jetpack and armor lock. Just has a high skillcap like snipe. Check my pro pipe montage out for examples.
omg a nikos upload
Plasma repeaters and needlers are only superior to the assault rifle as long as you are an elite. Elite players are given a guiding reticle that helps guide their shots against moving spartan players. The main reason is that most likely because most human weapons (minus the rocket launcher) are all hit scan weapons, while covenants are mostly projectile weapons minus the beam rifle. Sad to say, Halo Reach is probably the only game to implement this system.
See you in the next halo list, next year
I think that the DMR is an S tier but that's only my opinion anyways great video
anyone remember the reach beta plasma launcher when its grenades could turn 90 degrees and track its targets?
Concussion rifle is the replacement for the brute shot
"the plasma launcher would never get a sequel" the plasma caster:
a lot of reach's weapons, like the plasma repeater and the needle rifle, are meant to be covenant counterparts to human weapons, the ar and dmr specifically. likewise the reach shotgun is pretty much only good in similar ranges to the energy sword, but cant be blocked and has the whole reload mechanic, but theyre different enough imo
W NIKOS VIDEO
The Halo Reach Assault Rifle is fine. The reason it has awful accuracy is that you are holding the trigger instead of bursting it. Y'know. Actually doing the thing it says in the weapon tooltips GIVEN TO YOU IN REACH. The reason it's "bad" is that you're comparing it to one of the most OP weapons in the entirety of Halo. The DMR is just one of those weapons. It is almost always objectively your best option. Even to the point where power weapons are a situational thing instead of... y'know. Power weapons.
I don't know if I just couldn't get the hang of it but I was never able to get good results with the grenade launcher. Since it doesn't explode on impact you generally have to aim a few feet in front of whatever you're shooting at to actually damage them, and even then there's a chance it will bounce in a completely different direction than you were aiming, making it really annoying for me. If the standard fire exploded on impact I'd probably like it better.
Halo Infinite's grav hammer I'm expecting either a tier below F becauyse of just how powerful it is or a tier above SSS
THE KING IS BACK
Yeah, Focus Rifle was disappointing as hell. Watching the Reach trailers, I was hyped. I did like to snag it on Boneyard, had a convenient spawn point. But it required just a second too long of sustained accuracy. Needed too much open space to be effective and you’d be lucky to get 2-3 kills with it.
I use as medium to close range weapon since it seems to blind your enemy
I have 30,000+ kills in Reach on MCC, and at the maximum, I might have gotten 5 of them from the focus rifle.
Talks about how bad is a weapon 1:12, proceeds to make a not rational play.
NIKOS IS BACKKKKK💪🏻💪🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Finish the fight!
finally
DMR supremacy
The plasma repeater is quite frail and I hate it. I much prefer the plasma rifle. I do like the spiker only because the ammo is quite abundant in some levels but otherwise it sucks. Halo reach is a prequel to combat evolve so there is no dual wielding since the Mjonir Armor was not advanced enough to support it at the setting where halo reach is at.
MCC is great sure, but infinite is really coming along and is A tier in summer 2023!
nah mcc is better than infinite, infinite has a lot to do to become mcc tier
FINISH THE SERIES
Magnum = grunt disposer
I was a channel member…. I need a new subscription lol
So what happened to spv3 weapon list?
Also fun fact: the halo 2/3 br and halo reach dmr are more powerful than the halo ce magnum.
Oh, so many of my favorite weapons are in the garbage. Guess I'll have to be the trash man.
lol like which ones did I rank super low?
@@Nikos. Plasma Repeater, Concussion Rifle, and the Plasma Turret.
Concussion Rifle is good, cannon's good in theory but isn’t realistically gonna hit players that are moving and you're gonna get blown up, repeater is trash but slightly better than the AR for melee combos so I'll pick it up if I come across it in AR slayer
Nikos = SSS Tier
ir my fav utuber
Thanks!
i wath evryvidio@@Nikos.
Nickos
rember me the fin legen
Never trust a Nikos!
Hii
Hello!
Nice video!
plasma repeater is an S wdym? this thing sends hordes of elites to the shadow realm in an instant, best iteration of the plasma rifle ngl
Idk, in Reach so many people could block your sword strike. Shit was annoying. Glad they removed that in future Halos. Also armor lock kids ruined my plasma launcher fun. Lmao
MR KOS YOUR ALIVE
haha i never died, just had a semester to finish :D
@Prince Jugali your dead to me
Nice fake holo play at 2:41 gets them every time
Where’s my 20 bucks you promised huh?
