A little red triangle next to shield pops up

They need to bring in the Halo 2A weapon markers and the weapon image when you walk over the weapon.
Agreed, it's more of a problem on Truth for me, but on both maps it's kinda hard to see weapon spawns.
I often see the 'press X to pick up' prompt without even realizing I've walked over a weapon.

PLEASE add FFA to the beta.
Every match is me getting window lickers on my team and barely going 1-1 on KD against 4 pro players, while my shit team quickly give theirs 50 kills for a fast loss.
I sent one guy a message asking what he was doing as he went 0-21 and no joke this was his response
I have a job and no friends who play Halo, getting together a team who can compete is out of the question so every match is just a frustrating mess.
Don't get me wrong i don't mind losing, but 7 losses in a row with the scoreline 18-50, 21-50 just makes me want to stop.

Needs a weapon silhouette too.

After playing more Titanfall tonight, it's going to be tough going back to Halo 5.
I said the same thing but opposite. Halo 5 felt much better for me and WAY more competitive.

there is a red exclamation mark after you use boost on top right, that is indicator
Hopefully the vehicles aren't paper mache in this game.

I know it's because it's late, but I am cracking up at that msg.

My thoughts on sprint are to remove it as a mechanic that you can activate (by that I mean, press button to sprint).
Instead they should increase the base Spartan movement speed and once you've been moving forward for a set amount of time, without stopping or shooting, your Spartan automatically starts to pick up speed and sprint. So if you've been running forward for 15 seconds straight (15 seconds is just an example) and you haven't stopped or shot your weapons, your Spartan automatically starts to sprint.
That way it can be used as a means to travel large distances quickly (useful on larger maps).
The game still retains a faster pace since base movement speed is increased anyway.
People can't abuse it and just hit the sprint button the moment they start taking damage to escape (I must admit to doing this myself at times and I feel cheap when doing it).
You also free up a button on the controller since you haven't got to press anything to activate it.

Yeah one of my biggest frustrations is shitty teammates. My GT is TheShockerX. Feel free to add me.

For me its just that while the movement is more free-form than its ever been in Halo, it's still not nearly as tight as it is in TItanfall.

I can't start matchmaking. There's a red triangle with an exclamation point in it next to "Slayer". What's up?

hope the banshee is fun to fly and not OP

Could you imagine how OP it would have been on Zenith in H2A if they had included it's ability to fire missiles. It would have been madness, but mostly rage for whatever team controlled Banshee and Rockets.
Twilight Gap

Halo 3 banshee had the right mix of power and agility without being OP. Reach's was certainly more fun to fly, but the bombs and flips were really excessive. Halo 4 just made it clunkier.
I'd be okay with the H2A banshee though.

Is there a way to cancel out of clamber and ground pound? I actually haven't tried it yet but I just thought that a boost out of a clamber or ground pound mid-motion would be a good way to do it. BRB im trying.
Regret Upon Approval
Member
I like the fuel rod bomb, gives you that extra oomf when you need to bring the pain.
For Ground Pound, just let go of the crouch button? Does that work?
Clamber seems to quick to really cancel.
Edit: Wait, I think I misunderstood. You mean to chain them right?

12 14 and 6. those are some embarrassingly low numbers but i feel like i'm finally starting to hit some shit.
i think i should just take the motors out of my controller.

Damn, 3/7/10 isn't even that awful when you have that many assists.
I've seen spreads far more negative with less assists.

the beta just came out and people are still getting adjusted so those messages confuse me. at this point i'm happy if i manage to headshot one person before i die and lose the weapons i just picked up.
on that note, had a BR for most of the game on Truth just now and finally started my honeymoon phase. unlike midship, it seems like it's more beneficial to just run around on this map. sitting in the tower looking for people usually had me being shot from the other tower suddenly.
friday is going to be fun.

You need HaloGAF
I've had a few team games with GAF folk where I end up with 3 kills and 15 assists. :lol
But Titanfall is COD-like, so it fails by default. Most of my time as a pilot is spent looking down the scope, fuck that mechanic. I do love the movement but lament the COD mechanics (its exactly like COD from what I remember, I stopped playing because I will never enjoy FPS games that use that style)
If its like H2 then its perfect.

I had no idea that the automatic weapons also received headshot bonuses this time around. It would explain why I sometimes get dropped instantly after a no-shield, while others can take a few more hits.
That probably needs to go. Headshot bonuses on a 'spray' weapon is a RNG nightmare.
While I am definitely enjoying the game, it is hard when you're a lone wolf. Even more so when the game decides to match you up versus full teams, which is just all kinds of dumb.
Also, the smart scope on the pistol is like my nemesis. It feels as if I am a drunkard and my sensitivy moved from 3 to 10.

Managed to get this beauty of a score without a single death....this game has clicked for me big time.

I am never playing a Halo game online again without at least one teammate.
Yeah lone wolf is extremely hard to do now. 2+v1 situations are almost impossible to win unless your grenades connect. 2 man cells are like a requirement now.

I know there are a lot of unneeded medals. But I love the Last round one. Especially when you get it with close call. Makes you feel like you made it by the skin of your teeth.
Also I don't wanna play another halo game without Spartan chatter. Loving that so much.

Also love the Perfect Medal.
I was playing with 2 other friends and got matched up with a random who went fucking 0-18.
Still won the game though. lol.
I've already got a bunch of gaffers on my friends list, but the more the merrier!
If you want to join up with my group, shoot me a message and invite. GT is WRC Evo X.

How many assists though...this is still important for teamwork
He only had 1 assist. Definitely not a team player. Think this was babbys first fps match. lol
Or maybe the dog accidentally turned on the xbox.

Man his game is finally starting to click. At first I was so frustrated, death seemed to come quick and from the biggest noobs. Here's my advice to anyone jumping in on this coming from previous Halo's...this game ha to be tackled differently especially with the beefed up automatic weapons. If you love the BR/DMR you need to start learning how to keep your distance. The DMR's range is monstrous compared to the BR which is great but it's much harder to use close range. I still prefer it over the BR but both serve their purpose. The cosmetic ADS is actually a welcomed change for me. I Love the BR's one and I love mowing down with the SMG. It was the feature I was most worried about especially because I loathe COD. Sniper is great and just as it should be. Game definitely needs BR/DMR starts to be fair. The Asssault rifle still doesn't cut it. Other than that I think the game needs a touch of time to get used to. I started off as Gold1 and today I smashed through Onyx. Take your time to get accustomed and the mechanics will sink in.
Honesty I feel this game is excellent. I see great potential in this being the bet multiplayer halo experience to date. This is coming from someone who was there for Halo since day 1.
