There has to be some point you can't shoot over the course of the grabbing --> hanging --> pulling yourself up process.
Well, perhaps you could shoot but not aim...
This is a really good video (and it is 10 seconds long). I wasn't able to get the different points of view at the time but the bullet goes through the grenade which detonates and through the guys head giving me the sniper medal.

That is my problem with it. If someone is shooting me from behind as I'm in the process of jumping over a ledge, then that person could easily get two shots into me. I wouldn't be able to trade shots because I'd be locked going/looking in a certain direction.
I feel weird whining this because the ledge grabbing/jump over animation probably wouldn't take all that long, but that .5 second animation can screw you over in a fight.

So, you'd just be blasting randomly into the wall in front of you? Or like cover fire from Gears of War or something?
I think aiming while hanging could work well enough. But really, I'm not sure what ledge grabs would bring to Halo that isn't already there via trick jumping and stuff. It sounds cool, but mostly in an impractical "ninja spartan omg" type of way.

Stupid compromises are how we got Halo 4.
I would be all for testing it, as long as I know I wouldn't be stuck with it if I didn't like it. Too bad we are not in a perfect world.
I don't suggest stupid compromises seriously.

This would be one of the things the 343 team would have the time / money to look into if they implemented it, but wallruns / ledge-climbs don't necessarily have to equate to losing shooting functionality. If you buy the whole Thruster thing, you could just have coordinated puffs that would give you particular movement vectors when performing the actions.

I'd want a skull-fucking assassination animation before I'd ever want to hang and pull myself up from a ledge.
What if you could Skull fuck assassinate someone while they were climbing up a ledge.

Oh, and I decided to jump on the halomusicGAF bandwagon and try my hand at a Halo 5 main menu theme mockup! Given the whole desert / dual-timeline themes (with the human-forerunner wars and whatnot) I tried to draw from Journey and Chrono Cross as inspirations.
It also solves the whole Halo 4 menu vocal thing pretty eloquently, imo.
Gamestop exclusive.

Luckily jetpacks are now standard equipment in Halo 5, so no one's going to miss a jump.
Why not fist them instead?

It's a second-chair string quartet; solo cello makes up the first half, viola / vin / vin II make up the second half. The samples do sound kinda highland-pipey, but those are reserved for Beamish's theme when he fights a Brute Chieftan one-on-one with his space mop.
I kept wondering when it was going to turn into full on Braveheart.

Soundcloud hates me today for some reason, so I can't listen to it
Upped it on GetWebb for you. Click the note-doc to download.
Beamheart will be discussed at a later date, oddwun.
Linking a massive gameplay change to a barely visible scope an artist put on a gun.
smh
Halo to get R rating.
Semi-related, can we please get Elites as playable models for multiplayer back to Halo 5?
And add Brutes to it while at it. MP aliens can be scaled down, that's not a big deal.

Who are you to question how artists work?
But for srs, it probably means nothing but even if hints at weapon customization that doesn't necessarily mean it's anything more than cosmetic.
EDIT: jesus Madness
It was deliberate.
And slows down the game play, and changes map design so that it's necessary to do (otherwise why is it there, much like ADS), and also often lowers jump height (like sprint lowering based player speed).
So no. I don't want to see ledge grabs in my Halo. Ever.
Not any more...

Well, it's not horrible at all. The drums sound exactly like the ones from Reach. That and the piano at the end make it sound very Halo.
no
It doesn't even look different enough from the default BR scope to warrant anything.

Did you sample the percussion from Reach's Overture?
Tempted to join the bandwagon. hmm.

Pretty much the exact issue I have. Not sure if it's worth the $60 price-tag when the inevitable price drop will come soon
Classic DOOM and Wolfernstien?
Haha, I edited it out. "There'll be another time" for that post. Don't know why, just felt like writing that.

Yeah, I just beefed it up a little bit.

I was just surprised that there was wall that came outta nowhere. I still can't believe ADS is seriously suggested by anyone who cares enough about Halo to post in this thread.
Look again. With dem eyeballs.
I don't think it quite works like that, look at all the visual changes in four for instance.

Its not like I want some features of X game to be in Halo 4 but 343i have to take notes and make unique mechanics of its own for Halo 5
You can do that in halo 4 (and a punch to the balls in Reach).

Oh hush, everyone knows that art determines gameplay and not the other way around! Here's the image in Halo 4 when they decided to take out descope:
