Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

Because MCC is broken. Thats why.


Also starting to feel slight fatigue playing this game alone.
Problem is i just wanna relax with it but my aim is all over the place and i cant figure out why, its like some counter-aim-assist going on while i keep getting put on servers outside my region or with people outside my region.
I wouldnt mind that if it was every now and then, but all games today besides 2 have been a complete shitfest with getting kills from the grave with ARs and 10 hitmarkers on enemies with the magnum in the head.

Can we not select a server region pretty please?

I had the exact problem with aiming and subsequently my performance all over the place. For me I just kept playing SWAT until it started to stabilize. It definitely plays differently from the previous games.

And for gods sake team up with people! That changes the experience dramatically. My GT is same as username: Megabyte117 if anyone's interested, always up to playing in coordinated fireteams.

the spawn system is fine in Team Arena and Slayer. FFA needs work.

Power weapon spawns are fine

AR is powerful enough as it is... Some would say it's too powerful.

JiP is a horrible idea for a ranked mode.

I read through your posts and it's like you actually want Halo to be COD or Battlefield.

No. I just want aiming to matter more, and one hit weapons, group kills and grenade spamming to be less prominent,. That way 70% of all deaths are not going to be at no fault of your own, or because the spawn system put you in the worst possible position.

And do you really think the spawns are fine? When in Arena it is literally constantly spawning people in-front or behind one another, in the middle of groups of enemies and vice versa? Speaking Arena only, there is not a single game I can think of that has more unbalanced or erratic spawning aside from Advanced Warfare. I get that 343i wanted to make things more chaotic and action packed, but they went too far. In that respect Arena is actually more like COD now, not less. The TKK being higher doesn't really help much either.

Regarding the AR, if not more powerful, make it so you can weapon switch faster. Right now the pistol already takes more shots than other long range weapons, despite you being able to fire shots faster. If you're not already using it, if someone gets the long range shot off on you first, and there's no where for you to immediately dash away to or behind, the weapon switch speed takes too long to make enough of a difference.

And regarding filling in empty slots, I care more about balanced games and even numbers than I do my rank, but that's just me. They could simply tweak it so that if you join a game late, you not only get full match bonus, but a loss also does not negatively affect your rank. That would solve the issue, but as is, far too many games have uneven numbers because of drop outs.

I'd actually argue some of the differences and changes are the issue.

Things that could improve it.


  • Completely re-work the entire spawn system (make it less unfair, chaotic and unbalanced)
  • Reduce the nade count
  • Extend the time it takes for power weapons to spawn
  • Re-balance a few of the weapons, eg give the AR a tiny bit more range, and/or increase the weapon switch speed
  • If someone drops out, replace that person, and give the person who comes in late full match bonuses
  • Add non party options for game modes (going solo against parties can be frustrating)
  • Improve the aiming acceleration
  • Reduce the aiming deadzone (though I fear this may be a controller issue, as other shooters also have this issue on the XO)
  • Improve some of the map layouts to be more balanced (eg Warzone Assault for attackers)
  • Increase back dash distance so you can better avoid shoulder barge and covenant sword
  • Re-work bosses in Warzone so kills cannot be stolen in the last second
Personally I don't like the REQ system at all, and would do away with it altogether for a more traditional unlock system, with only cosmetic microtransaction purchases, but I know that will never happen.

Can't say I want any of this except the grenade count reduction on spawn.

You should also dash sideways to dodge stuff, not backwards. Heck a jump and dash works too.

I have to say, my opinion of the campaign has improved dramatically since I started replaying it. I didn't realize the levels were so dense with alternate paths and secrets.

Gameplay was awesome the story seemed too erratic for me. The pacing was off, gameplay was really neat though can't wait to get back into it.

I don't understand.
I'm in first place during a ffa match, then my damage stops. Full smg or AR at point blank and no kills etc.

Don't do this to me. It's too much fun and agony at once.
 
Ferny said:
Do you just mean from a Maps standpoint or a gameplay standpoint?
Click to expand...

little bit of both. more maps
as less forge maps as possible
, objective only matchmaking, social matchmaking, BTB, firefight
should all have been there on release day. of course most of it/all of it/some of it will be patched in but from my point of view it should have been there on day one.

lets wait and see how the MP evolves until mid 2016

disclaimer. I love halo and want it to be successful

In a Warzone match I picked up an AR with a scope and damn that thing was insane. They could add some additional replayability to campaign by letting me take some of my REQs there. It would be nice to have those kind of options unlocked got customs as well.

ha that would have been awesome.

AR needs more range? Now I've heard everything, lol

Still don't see the "aiming" issue at 4 sens, no idea what the big deal is about.

This is exactly it for me. Arena is the best since Halo 2 yet there's hardly anything to do. It's not like we can fall back on Forge and Custom games like the past three Halos while waiting for new content.

343 needs to update the map rotation and get some new game modes in soon. They should be updating the playlists weekly at launch.
Click to expand...

well it's only been a week and two days. They're adding stuff this weekend. And I think forge/btb will be coming sooner than later.
 
Welp, beat the first
Warden
and made it to chapter 7. Resorted to watching a video to get a sense of how to beat it. The slow push onward continues.

Not if you play SWAT.

I was 45-48 in H2 and H3 SWAT. I'm sitting around Onyx 1800 right now, with 90 total games played (also ranked in Arena, Slayer and Breakout so there's some games going to those). My win percentage is 60 something.

The map design is pretty bad. Most of the maps promote camping and there are a couple really good spots where if 2 or 3 people are camping that area they are very difficult to kill. Besides that, you are very exposed in many locations on each map. Most of my deaths are from the side or behind, and believe me, I check my corners. Well, what corners you can check for these maps. You move out of a hallway or something and you suddenly have to check about 5-7 locations to see if anyone is waiting for you to pop out. There is very little incentive to move around the map IMO.

Speaking of deaths, the kill trading is ridiculous. I must get half my deaths from this and it's very frustrating.

I'm also pretty annoyed for feeling like I need to buy an elite controller to compete with other people. I play bumper jumper so I don't have L trigger to scope in, and when scoped in the aiming feels much better to me. But with the scope on the right stick, I'm fairly confident that players who use the default scheme have an advantage over me. I'm hoping the supposed custom controller maps coming to every controller will fix this for me. Which still won't give me hair triggers. Sorry for not slamming the trigger in each time I fire.

The worst part, is that I've seen the light. I've had great games where everything feels good and feels right. But I've had more that do not feel right. I've had too many games where I do well, with a 2.5+ KD (not KDA) but the game was frustrating and I'm not having fun.

I love SWAT but unfortunately I'm going to have to give it up. I suppose on the bright side, I like Arena/Slayer a lot more in H5 compare to H3 and H4.

Do you believe that Orion succeeded because it was, at it's core, broken?
 
Just played my first ever Halo match since Halo 2. Did Free For All at Regret just to see what's it all about. I got 3 kills, 5 assists and died 21 times with an Elite controller. This sucked.

Gonna do Warzone next.

Well... if you haven't played since Halo 2 I wouldn't give up yet. Also I wouldn't have picked FFA lol.
 
I don't see them changing the way the boss kills work. If you change it up it completely defeats the purpose of the bosses. They are meant to be a way to make a massive catch up if you are behind. If you correctly pull a big req out and steal the kill and give you teams the points, that is the entire purpose of the boss.

Splitting it based on damage makes the bonus feel worthless.

Aiming matters plenty... But halo isn't just about aiming. It's always been the trifecta:guns/grenades/melee... They are all of equal importance. What you are suggesting is it become Shooting, and those other things occasionally, like COD and Battlefeild.

As far as team killing and power weapons, again their importance is a staple of the halo franchise... It's never been about 1v1 duels... So why are you trying to make it so?

You keep suggesting that you are dying through no fault of your own, but it's clear from your comments that you aren't playing the game the way it's meta dictates... so it likely IS actually your fault you are dying.

As far as you not being able to overcome being caught off guard, it just sounds like you Just don't understand halo, and are blaming the weapon balancing for your shortcomings... People rack up reversal medals all the time.

Basically your complaint is that if you walk blindly into a location that offers a sight line that is ideal for long ranged weapons, and someone with a long range weapon takes advantage of your lack of awareness, it's the games fault that he capitalized on your poor decision.

And again, you don't care about rank, but halo fans generally do. Your JIP suggestion has already been tried with this franchise, and it failed miserably. The solution is to Discourage quitting.

Please don't try use left trigger for scoping...its bad and the only reason it exists is that 343 is trying to make the ramp from cod/destiny to halo easier (seems to be working from anecdotal evidence). The only good way to scope in halo is clicking in right joystick..period...not only do you not need to use a different button to do do the second level of the scope on sniper rifles, it does not interrupt your play to reach for a different button

Thanks. I'm thinking like, 80/20 in favor of Orion in all playlists.
Maybe even patch in a feature where if you select another mode like Campaign or Warzone, it has a 50% chance of loading Slayer on Orion instead.

That's subjective. Aiming on LT is great. And that's also subjective.
 
And my Losing Today continues!


They decided to spare me some time and put me in an Unwinnable Warzone game just now. Perfect.

I love the little "Halo Moments" I get while playing.


Waiting for a capture point to fill and I see a guy meleeing the wall...so me and 4 other guys melee the wall too!

Either that or crouching in front of guys while waiting around haha.
