I can't think of one weapon that isn't more accurate when ADS. Some of the power weapons maybe?
Click to expand...

I always get confused when people talk about ADS and accuracy....


When you zoom in, your weapon becomes more 'precise' , meaning you have finer control over the location of the cursor.

But I don't know that each weapon becomes more 'accurate', meaning bullets are more likely to reach the intended target. That would mean that zooming positively effects things like aim assist, spread, and recoil.

So are we saying that ADS makes it easier to shoot people, beyond the obvious benefit of more precision at range?

And the Packs will have a simple message in them:

"Somebody Order 7 Warthogs?"

It actually gave me some very nice things, not a single hog or goose.

Few weapon req's, visor skins and some armor items.

Im overall happy with it.
Now lets see if my REQ point packs have the same luck as my money packs :|

Edit: my silver point pack gave me jack shit :(

I play a lot of SWAT and zooming in with the magnum feels like it controls much much better. I play bumper jumper and I feel I may be disadvantaged compared to people who play default.

This might just be me with my plasma-foil hat on, but i think cash pack have a higher chance of good items.

Well, I know what you are saying and I don't feel its completely fair .

I do strongly believe a high percentage of halo 1-3 fans don't play the series that much if at all anymore. of course we have no way to prove this but you shouldn't treat me bad over my opinion :)

If Halo 1-3 fans have already moved on then is it worth MS/343 catering to them? (not that I believe they are or aren't catering to a specific crowd)

Personally I don't think you would be happy no matter what 343 did. Nothing will be the same as Halo 2/3 other than H2/3.

I personally think H5 is very close to a modern H3. I have over 3.5k games in H3 so I'm relatively familiar with it. I hated H4 because it wasn't like H3 but I play H5 now and get the same feeling/satisfaction as when I played H3. It's by no means the perfect game, there are map/server/lobby issues etc that have been repeated here ad nauseam, but it is a good Halo game.


ps: so...many...Hs...

I'm not a big fan of h2

But if 343 could nail the map design down a lot more , remove sprint and clamber I'd be a ton more happy with H5. Also hope they fix the aiming issues though. I wouldn't mind the thrusting around nearly as much as I mind sprint and clamber/clamber maps though. Also want an option to take out the smoke, bloom foggy lights to I can see around the map a lot better along with textures that look good more far away with excellent IQ and AF.

You do realize none of what you are saying is going to happen, right? (I mean ultimately if you don't like the map design I doubt that you'll find much to like about whatever dev-supplied maps we get down the line.)
 
Haven't finished a single team Slayer game tonight with 4 people on my team. The last game I played was 4v1 and I was getting owned so uI had no option but to quit. Not sure if it's a problem with people just quitting or getting disconnected but it's getting annoying.

I think it's probably the collection things that will draw a lot of people in for now. I don't really have a feeling for that stuff as I just want a competitive match. :)

Yeah, but I was just making a case for the Mode I love. :)

Hopefully Halo appeals to you someday.

If bosses were rewarded based on total damage, a team doing well would just snowball the entire game. It would be unbalanced and miserable.

I actually like that, it adds tension and rewards teamwork and strategy. Get a couple of guys with heavy weapons or vehicles targeting the boss with the rest of the team concentrating on taking out any enemies taking pot shots at the Warden.

Get sniper, camp warden long distance without doing anything, at 1% HP fire all 4 rounds and get kill.

I get it. I do like this idea overall. It's just frustrating when I look around the map, see six of my teammates huddled in the middle capture zone, not doing anything about the bosses. I need to play with a party.
 
MouldyK said:
I've played Halo on and off (mostly off) for 14 years now...since I was 10!

But i've never played so much Halo in a week as I have this week!



So far, i've spent 27 Hours in Warzone!

When was the last time I spent so much playing an Online Multiplayer game? Oh yeah, it was Splatoon!


I do believe I am the sole person on NeoGAF who Warzone was aimed at...and I think you and other "Pros" do not get what Warzone brings to the table. So i'm gonna have my say about how cool Warzone is for me:

1. I like how in Warzone you don't feel overwhelmed too much: In BTB, most of the matches just felt like there was no structure to them, even the objective ones...it's just chaos. In Warzone, there can be quite a few important battles you can be in and make a difference:

- Defending one of your points.
- Attacking a point of the enemy's.
- Attacking one of the Bosses which spawn on the map.

There'a always something a player can do to feel needed on WZ more than they can in BTB.

2. The REQ System provides a good escalation for the WZ Matches: Say what you want about how it's a P2W Money Machine for Stinkle's Yacht Purchases, but I enjoy how Warzone Matches progress thanks to the REQ System. People start out all on equal footing, more or less, but then once Level 2 hits, then Level 3 and so on, you can see the match take a different turn.

Ghosts start coming...and then Warthogs...then Scorpions...you can tell things are getting real when Scorpions come out! And the good thing is: You own the weapons/vehicles, so there is no fighting over it. I hate how in many BTB games, it's just like 4 dudes just rushing to get in the Tank. In WZ, people who want Tanks can get Tanks.

Sure, it is unbalanced due to the cards people own/don't own, but that's the beauty of it! When you eventually get a Tank Card or Rocket Card, you are in control of what you do with it!

3. The Customization System being attached to Randomness? Great Idea in my book! Allows everyone to look different rather than all look the same with Recon Armor or other Popular Ones.

In a way, it reminds me of Splatoon how everyone looked different.

4. Opening Packs is always a highlight for me: I may be annoyed i'm 27 hours in and Level 29...and still have no DMR to my name, but that's always a drive to push forward for me!

-------------------------------


Maybe it's because I have a collectible problem, or maybe it's because i've just gotten Super Casual, but Warzone is probably the best Non-Arena/BTB thing Halo has ever done.

There is a great need for it: Because it's fun.


Not to say it's perfect though as there could be improvements in Halo 6:

- Randomized Boss Timers: All games play out the same right now.

- Maybe more Mini-Objectives within the match like Section 8 did: Escort this AI to an area, Guard this Dropped-Crate like KOTH for 20 Seconds or something, take this flag to a part of the map. Things to spice up the game and keep it fresh.

- 16 VS 16 or 20 VS 20 next time: I think we can do better with a bigger playzone!
Click to expand...

I think most of your positives with warzone are my biggest complaints. I constantly feel overwhelmed. I go to defend a point, half the team is messing with an objective, other quarter is dying trying to take or defend the main base and then others are doing who knows what. It's just too chaotic, I rather classic BTB strats in a larger play game type where you have a simple goal for a team to achieve (cap a flag, defend x point, etc). Honestly can't stand the pve mix, especially when your kill gets snatched. On top of that, multiple folks camping with BR is never a fun time.

I keep trying it and it honestly makes me bitter towards the game because they focused on this rather than BTB. Ive just been experiencing lost after lost and I can normally see it coming three minutes in only to know that I'm gonna be stuck in that match for another 20. At least in arena, we've got a common goal as a team.

Would you sacrifice 60fps for that? I wouldn't. I would say lighting is an issue in terms of I sometimes struggle to see players in certain areas which I never had issue with in H3, the blue/red was very vivid. Sprint is just not going anywhere I don't think. I don't use it all that much, I think I would prefer not to have it(especially with the small arena maps) but it doesn't bother me. Sprinting around the map just puts you at a disadvantage. Sprinting away from fights your shields don't recharge and again, on these small maps you will just run into another player, now without shields. Personally I love thrust, it is a really great tool and I think adds another element of skill to exploit.

When you zoom in, your weapon becomes more 'precise' , meaning you have finer control over the location of the cursor.

But I don't know that each weapon becomes more 'accurate', meaning bullets are more likely to reach the intended target. That would mean that zooming positively effects things like aim assist, spread, and recoil.

So are we saying that ADS makes it easier to shoot people, beyond the obvious benefit of more precision at range?
Click to expand...

Definitely mean accuracy as in tighter bullet groupings. I'll test it out in a custom game and come back with my findings.

Been like this since Day 1

I really need to finish MCC on legendary, about 50% into halo 2 on coop. Want that skin badly.

Anyone wanna do this around 3-4pm CET this week?
I know its buggy pos sometimes but i wanna get them legendary achiv for Hellioskri or whatever.

more frustrating to me when 6 of my teammates are shooting at a boss with me and there is not an enemy in sight yet somehow the other team gets that boss kill
 
Lost an uncommon Warzone XP Mission: Victory because the other team went double wraith and a scorpion. If you're going to make a game mode P2W at least don't punish me so hard for losing.
 
And just like in any game where gender is player choice, the female Spartan models look about 10x better in everything.

Why am I not surprised.

The female models are beautiful. ;_;
 
I finished the campaign solo on HC tonight. Overall I enjoyed it, there were some really cool moments. Still not as good as the original though and I wasn't too keen on the direction of the story. Gonna breeze through it again on easy to try and make sense of it all and find the collectibles.
 
AndrewDean84xX said:
How would you change it?
Click to expand...

I would have two types of points for Legendary bosses. Team percent of damage, and then a large number for the actual kill. That way it would be like this

150 points.


Team A - 80% - 80 points
Team B - 20% - 20 points

Team B kills the Legendary and gets 50 points on top of the 20 for a total of 70.

As it stands there is no incentive to waste bullets on the first 90% of the bosses' health.

The current final-shot boss reward model makes Warzone unplayable.
Click to expand...

I agree that the boss takedowns need improvement, maybe introduce boss assists, so even those that helped take it down still get some credit, however, it is in no way unplayable, it is very much playable and still fun regardless of the final-shot boss takedowns

Oooh I wanna share. Here's my dude. I don't know if I'm keeping him this way yet. I wish purple looked purple though. That looks pink to me :(
 
So even well after the MTU bug fix I STILL cannot get into Halo 5 multiplayer or Co-Op this is seriously bugging me, I've tried starting a thread on reddit, tweeting @Halo and received no response.


All I get is a message.

Unable to connect to Halo 5 guardians lobby service.

I've tried hard resetting, fresh install. Everything. Nothing has worked.


Has anyone ANYONE been able to get a solid fix for this yet??

My NAT is Open, my MTU is above 1300, my downstream is 105mb and upstream is over 26mb.

I'm at a loss for what the hell is wrong

343 claiming things that are not happening. All my MP matches ive played so far since Oct 26 were on US Servers.

It feels like nobody in Europe bought the game. Big reason why i stopped playing the MP. Its not fun.
