They really need an inactivity boot. Really spoiling matches when someone just stands still.
Especially in Breakout.

- Thread starter VisceralBowl
- Start date
I like the light rifle on this. Well partially because it's glowing on the floor and easy to find. The animations on it are pretty sweet too.

There's new map! Excellent I can't wait to try them out. Has the rubberband lag been reduced at all as of yet? Got some crazy bits of it the other day on Empire.
Tell me about it.. Simply no way to stay competitive with this kind of lag.

I noticed while playing. Its really bad on thr new map at night. They really need to make the blue a vibrant cobalt to match the red brightness so both can be spotted equally against dark backgrounds.

Man, when the animation lags at the starts and you only see yourself leaping in. Breakout that is.
Panic.
Fixed that for you ;-)

BR starts are definitely great, but in no way does that mean thry should nerf the AR
The AR feels fine to me now honestly but it'll receive an indirect nerf in a way once flinch is removed and it's easier to aim the rifles. I don't think they should change the damage or range for the gun at all.

impressions sound good. I really like single life game modes. Thats what it is right? one life per player?
Ever since gears, i have really got into single life modes. Changes everything up, so much more tactful.

that fucking asshole just camping there too, smh.
Truth and Regret is the only Covenant you're gonna see in Halo 5, mate. Why do you think they created Spartan armor that looks like Elite armor? They're gone! RIP
Havent gotten a chance to play since the update today but I know there still aren't any Covenant weapons in the beta.
Have they said if they are even in the game? I don't think I could handle a Promethean only campaign
Edit: Just saw the post above mine. Someone tell me that isn't true lol

Ahhhhh!
But during the Sprint they had a Carbine at "Carbine" so we should see it
And lol if 343 will not have playable Elites in Multi. I guess it's not immersive enough.
we've seen locke with elites, they'll be in in some form.

Gotta love the coconut crack headshot sound
Red has disadvantage across the board, so far they stick out prominently on all the maps we have seen and Blue blends in as it's less vibrant.
Red has always had a disadvantage due to the human brain being better at distinguishing it due to evolution, though in practise this can be mostly negated in games by making blue more vibrant.

No medal list yet.
We'll have to make our own. So far my standouts that I recall:
Reversal: Get shot first, kill the guy. (Must be full shields?)
Brawler: Win a melee duel?
Longshot: I got it by Magnum killing enemy at spawn from my spawn, on Truth.
Topgun: First to 10 kills on your team I think.
Last shot: Kill an enemy with the last round of a magazine.
Clusterluck: Two or more kills with one grenade
Hat Trick: Three headshot kills in a life
Perfect: Kill an enemy, full shields, with least amount of bullets possible.
I'm glad comeback medal was axed. If I knew what the other medals meant I could weigh in on them.
Last shot is my favourite so far. It does what the Close call medal tries to do and does it better. Really lets you know you got by ever so barely.

Getting really tired of breakout putting me into games that start 3v4.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Cliffhanger: Kill someone while they're clambering.
I just wanna play a match....I've had the excuse us screen come up 3 times in a row now
Haha, that's awesome.

So I've come to the conclusion that grenades ruin breakout.

Ok after 4 matches Breakout needs some serious tweeking to work with the Halo formulae.
If it stays as is right now it'l be a niche playlist for MLG 4 team types who enjoy camping. It's like i'm playing a bad version of Hardcore SnD from COD.
Halo has always been an evolution of arena based shooters like quake and UT, as such this mode is really unfitting

MLG players most def. aren't campers.
There is a lot of camping in this game for some reason. Maybe its due to level design, maybe its due to all the new kids who have never played halo. Not sure why really.

Ive only watched breakout and never played it, but i agree. It needs to be a "paintball" like game. Guns only. No nades.

Pretty sure it's a 3 shot.

yeah lightrifle is 3 head shot to kill
Breakout needs to ditch the grenades. Not sure how I feel about the mode right now.
Testing out Slayer again, went 12-2 in the first game with BR starts. Was noticibly campier but I still managed to get some good stuff happening with the sword on eden.
Distraction: Teammate killed an enemy focused on you.

Im really enjoying it as well. It's really an awesome game. Full 180 from Halo 4. I like what they're doing. It's fresh but still halo

BR starts are such fucking ass. I really hope 343 keeps that in its own separate playlist in the full release,

The beeping in the matchmaking is pretty annoying. Sounds like some appliance in my house.
Same. I keep thinking some device in my house is going off.

yeh they should get rid of it for that reason alone. or give you a choice if you want to do it or not somehow.
instead, like you mentioned, you're punished for being locked into an animation you don't want.
I like that idea. Let all the terrible players who like AR starts flock to their own playlist and competent players can play proper Halo in the BR starts one.
You could be a god among men in the AR starts playlist though.
Doesn't it only happen if you hold down the melee?
a tap is a simple, quick melee beatdown. hold it at all and its an animation. should be fairly easy to do whichever you prefer, but i wouldnt mind seeing the hold time extended a touch to prevent accidental assassinations.
