Official HaloFest Thread | We're so f**cking tired of shooters...and #butts

Wow, this is a really interesting juxtaposition with the Halo 2 tournament this weekend. This seems way more hectic.
 
Only thing I'm particularly disappointed with is the kill-times. It seems like you lose shield way too fast. That is one thing I hate about call of duty, you die fast and the game takes no strategy.
 
Perhaps ive been playing it too much but clamber, thruster and ground pound reminded me of Sunset Overdrive :D

I think it looks fun, im interested to see how it feels more than how it looks. Big long beta with lots of content, 343i arent hiding this stuff.

I wonder if things like the thruster needs to have the same penalties as sprint, ground pound isnt one hit kill (depending on shield obv) etc
 
Time to kill seems slightly fast but that could just be because the entire game is faster. BR is still 4 shot.

Get DMR out of the game please. As long as there's still a large skill component and ranked multiplayer I'm ok with some evolution to my Halo.
 
Whether or not you like the gameplay, you have to admit that a lot of thoughtful love and care went into shaping this game. Great job guys.
 
Looks really nice in motion. My Internet is really sucking it up though. I swear my provider throttles at night.

Hope I can rewatch later.
 
These guys are getting tons of kills with dmr and battle rifle without even scoping. All this looks like the same ol' halo to me -- but quite a bit faster. I don't mind it at all.
 
I'm fucking loving this, I think it looks GREAT.

Love the no recharge when sprinting and thrust cant keep being used over and over.
 
That ledge grab, fuuuuck. I hate that.

Hate:
ADS
Ledge Grab
DMR get the fuck out of Halo already
Sprint

Love:
Dash
Ground pound is pretty cool I guess


Maps are designed so that really hard ledge grabs work like crouch jump spots for good players. Obviously loads of easy grabs too, for regular people.

And crouch jumping also still works. Third tier of that skill set.
 
In action I'm a bit more at ease about all the changes. Balance doesn't seem fucked. Prophet's Bain is interesting. Wonder what other Legendary Weapons there are.
 
Looks really bleh. TTK seems too low, and while not recharging while sprinting is an interesting concept, it looks to slow the pace of the game a lot.
 
no ordnance
static weapon timers
br that looks a lot like Halo 2's
tradeoffs
sprint countered with lack of health regen

I'm okay with this.
