Just played br only customs including no nades

The br gunplay is great - it's a lot of fun - it won't happen but a playlist with those settings would have me hooked forever

The game is great but in usual halo tradition ar starts gets in the way

They really don't, the pistol is great. This game does not need BR starts, at all.

rakka said:
Oh and nades. Nades lying everywhere. Remember how you used to make a dash for the grenades? That satisfaction of outgunning your opponent for them? Hell even just jumping towards them.

What in the fuck? lol

Why would anyone need to make a dash for grenades in any Halo? They've always been in abundance on the play space due to dead bodies. You could carry fucking EIGHT in Halo 2, are you shitting me?

Speaking of grenades, the revised Prom grenade is so damn good.

Warzone? Um, ok?

That explains it. I'm may or may not be arguing with people about a different game. You guys can go "get good" at the game there.

Been playing Halo since '01.

You probably just aren't very good.

Yeah, Orion is unanimously the worst map of Halo 5 and easily one of the worst maps in Halo history. If you spawn out in the rocks you're fucked.

Pretty much what happened.
Map rotation is also kinda bollocks

Pegasus > Orion > Orion > Pegasus.

I hate both those maps, but orion with a passion after 2 tries.
 
Best Halo MP that I've played since 3 when I was younger..Nothing feels cheap, and I love the balance with the gameplay. Im just glad no one has figured out that the bolt shot is one of the best pick up guns in this game. Its literally a headshot hunter..Ive notice people doing some funny "drop" shot crouch when engaging in a pistol fight, dumbest thing ever because you lose side strafing, and literally become a sitting duck for pistol headshots!
 
rakka said:
I want to be able to be the underdog. Against all odds, take down an entire team of 4 because my asshole teammates all quit.

You could do that in most of the previous Halos. Join in progress fucked that up a bit though, but thats another story.

It's simply not possible in Halo 5. You'll get obliterated. You kill one, he's back with his crew within seconds. Sprint, clamber, dash. You'll literally always be fighting them coming at you all at once.

And that's part of what made Halo awesome back then. We all like to be a lone wolf sometimes. The hardcore player was king. The individual was unstoppable when you got good. THAT is why it had a massive pro community. Whether it be FFA or team based matches, your skill shone. That is why, or partly why, people played it like FUCKING crazy. To get that perfection. Oh how sweet it was.

So yes, keep disagreeing with me. The guys who kicked ass at Halo in the past no matter which game, whether it be FFA or team, will know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. It's not a game you love, it's not a game you get obsessed about any more. It's hard to be when there's less shooting and more acrobatics. Oh and nades. Nades lying everywhere. Remember how you used to make a dash for the grenades? That satisfaction of outgunning your opponent for them? Hell even just jumping towards them.
Click to expand...

The underdog who can win a fight 1v4? against who? other iron tier players?

And uh, I would like to think that I have been VERY good at Halo since the beginning, and I love this game. There are games we get stomped on, but even then we are communicating like never before and we have actually been able to come back from a 18 kill deficit and win. That is/was always what Halo was all about.

Promethean grenade is just so sexy. The AoE denial you get from on those things is insane. Only problem is my teammates run into them too often, giving me a betrayal.

I'd like to see the grenade respawn timers tuned down slightly though, I feel there is a bit too much spawning particularly of the Promethean grenades on maps.

I'm arguing that there's less of what made Halo awesome, e.g less gunfights and you go ahead and post a gif of you spartan dashing people in the back? And icing on the cake, to show that you're good? So, uh, you're on my side? Thanks?

Please tell me you're kidding, or you're 12.
 
So I beat the game a couple days ago on legendary solo and didn't get anything but the achievements. Does it really not unlock any armor or something? I didn't cheese anything if that makes any difference.

Exactly..Splinter Grenade is GOAT in MP. Nobody pick its up while I play, and nobody uses it how it should. "Snipers up in 10" I notice nobody on my team is near it except me, throws two splinter grenades in the entry ways to sniper and watch opposing team sprint into the paper shredder.

Yo, there are plenty of GUN fights in all my games I play. The moment you stop being a Iron tier player, you will see that people do not go around using those mechanics unless they are absolutely stomping the other team. And are you really bringing up Melee as being part of the problem? Did you forget Halo 3? A small burst with the AR and then Melee was deadly in that game, but I think you simply do not remember the games you are using for your own argument.

Both gifs were to show you that spartan charge is most effective when behind people, if they were turned around do you think any of that would have happened?

I can post plenty of gifs of cool stuff happening in the arena, you woudnt care either way. Figured id make a point.

Also, id be happy to show my stats so far in Halo's arena mode and compare, since your oh-so-good?

What about MCC stats?

Just cause your bad at the game doesn't make me a 12 year old.

No, you're arguing (specifically) that Spartan abilities make 1 v many situations untenable. They posted a gif (2 gifs, actually, after you moved the goalposts the first time) demonstrating that that is untrue.

Please tell me you're kidding and also 12, because otherwise I don't think I could process this.

What's your GT, btw?

It's not worth presenting this argument in this thread man; for a lot of people in here, this is the first Halo game they're actually decent at, which is why they have such a positive relationship with it. It's just not a good Halo game, and would make a bland game under any other name.
Click to expand...

Why do you people generalize so much just because you don't enjoy it or can't get the hang of it? This is the best Halo multiplayer since 2. If you can't avoid a spartan charge, you suck, period. You can most definitely kick ass in this game I've gone through getting triple kills and double kills while taking on a team by myself. My KD isn't great, it's at like 2.7, but you guys acting like you know anything about who enjoys this game is a joke. I was good in Halo 2, 3, Reach, not too sure about 4 because I didn't play much. This is the most fun I've had since 2.

They're probably in ultra rare Req packs sigh, getting them is probably gonna take a while too....

Yes, that's what I'm arguing. 1) By 1 v 4 i'm not talking about an encounter, I'm talking about a match. 2) They posted some gifs of lucky situations that someone got themselves into. That proves absolutely fucking nothing. Wow. Did you also miss the "less gunplay" part of the argument. His gifs sorta help me on that.

You know, now I'm curious. What's your GT? I'd like to check out your stats.

Edit: you can't be this rakka, he hasn't played the game yet.

Ha, no, different GT.

And I'm not gonna fucking lie, I certainly wasn't the best player or anything. I did however enjoy seeing my efforts and endless practice directly translate to matches both team and ffa though.

If you think that exists on the level that it did in previous games, well I guess I'm wasting my fucking time, and millions of other players obviously think so too.

I'll get the hell out of here now lol.

(oh and to above, grenades being an example at the start of a match, same goes for power weapons/ups. i guess you can't relate to the scenario i'm describing, again as an example.)

The core of halo has always been the shoot/grenade/melee trifecta.

If you have a problem with grenades and melees, then I really don't know what to tell you.

If you're looking for a game when you can participate in endless circle-strafing pistol duels, then throw in MCC and set up a custom game for yourself and this 'long time Halo players' that dislike Halo 5 as much as you.

What's your gamertag?
 
I think what you are saying for this underdog whatever is really more to do with the way the BR worked

In halo 3 if you were far away the br took some experience and knowledge and you could get away from being shot at a further dsitance by getting behind cover. Which, I actually liked because you could stay alive a litlte more and it felt like your shield was doing more work and that you could live longer.

Hit scan sort of makes you feel you can somewhat die super quickly when your caught off guard or shot in the back and doesn't let you live in those 2 v 1 situations as easily either.

I for one love this about Halo 3, feeling a little more powerful against slightly bad shooters when your a better shooter to take out 2 guys. Just way harder to do in hit scan and the other Halo's. Miss the Halo 3 BR for these reasons.


343- please give us old fans a standalone mp game of class halo, classic - and new maps. Or atleast get halo 3 on servers along with all the base gameplay (skirmish, doubles etc)

I do wish I could just play Halo 3 doubles on the MCC as I want to quit every time Halo 4 pops up, just don't want to play it.
 
Still can't get matches going. Either disconnect right when it's about to load, or I get in, walk five steps and dc. I'm on the NXOE if that matters. Game worked flawlessly yesterday.

So because the weapons [BR and every other fucking weapon] sucked balls, and allowed you to stay alive longer made the game good for you? WTF am I reading right now. H3 gunplay was the fucking worst, almost the same level as reach for me and I played the shit out of 3.
 
I feel like you should only spawn with 1 nade or something? On some maps the nade spam is mental.

Great stuff. Perfect kills are so satisfying, originally thought it was gimicky but damn it's a great medal.

EDIT: Btw the rakka dude, when he says 1v4, I don't think he's talking about a single 1v4 engagement, more like long protracted fights where you kill a guy, see a guy coming on radar behind you, turn and take him out, notice another guy across map and BR him down etc.

That stuff is still possible though(I would agree it's harder but only because game pace is quicker)

this isn't exactly true, and if you are doing it this way you aren't a good player. there are many things that come before melee

melee is a defenisve last go to measure unless you easily have the upperhand in a very lose battle. you never want to think of going to melee honestly. Halo is a skill movement, positioning , map control and skill in shot game. Watch any MLG game and you shouldn't see melee's being a bit part of it as much as nice shots and well place nades.

The core of halo has always been the basic idea of map control, learning the game so you have a good feel when to go left right, over or under in various situations (along with weapon control ) understanding where your opponets could spawn and could be without seeing them to get the drop on them. and then out shooting them to your advantages with all of the above.

there is a reason good players can either rush or wait against lesser players that are camping. They have too many ways to kill the camper and can easily out skill them when they are in a battle that was initially in the campers advantage.

Then you're talking about a very specific instance that doesn't happen very often in this game. How many times have you had to take a team 1 v 4 when 3 of your team quit? Halo has always been about using your melee effectively, I basically run around with a submachine gun in this, widdle down their shields and melee whenever I am close. When I'm at a distance, the pistol does just fine.

You can still do that.

Hell they have a medal for doing that, reversal.

This isn't COD or Destiny, where the first person to see the other guy and start shooting automatically wins. Your shields buy you enough time to turn the tables on a poorer player who got the drop on you, or battle against the numbers game if you have the skill. It's tougher, because everything is moving faster, but it's very doable. Just need to practice.

That is exactly what 5 is. Holy shit at the rose tinted glasses. Go play some Diamond level players and come back and let me know how many melee's you see being used.
 
What's bothers me is people thinking that what made halo great to them applies to everyone. I don't give two shits about the competitive nature of halo.

What about all of those people spending countless hours just dicking around in BTB or custom games with friends? Doing crazy shit with vehicles, grav lifts, explosive barrels, etc in Halo 3?

And even then, I don't think this game is any less competitive than other halos.

Until they give out the GTs, it's probably safe to assume they haven't played it for a decent amount of time or even at all.
