Watching pro players on Twitch is certainly what got me more interested in the pro scene and now I'm reading up on all the roster changes and drama like my life depends on it lmao.

I'd also suggest http://www.twitch.tv/lxthul , and Chig is good for a more chilled stream http://www.twitch.tv/chig

So right, first turn auto sprint off. That's when you slide or boost, it doesn't carrying you on sprinting. To perform it, just as your reaching the cusp of a ramp, use your boost then immediately press your slide button, and it should give you this huge momentum going down.



Hey I only ever saw pro's using it, I thought that meant it was too advanced for the likes of me

I was just starting to get the hang of the slide boost. They're not like the button combos from Halo 2, where folks from certain regions couldn't even take advantage of them, right? I don't see the harm.

I was going to learn how to do it tonight...:-(

Super slide wasn't even that bad, not like BXR or double shot that affected a kill time directly. Super slide just help get around the map fast, and only work in certain areas of the map(you could do it off some small inclines but most of the time you needed a big ramp to do it)

Patch sounds good all around. Nice to see new Forgs objects getting added on the regular. Good UI stuff too. Now we just need a way to inspect what other players have equipped.

That's a bad thing.


Like, it's almost universally agreed that slide boosting was good.
Click to expand...
Yeah it's kind of a bummer to see that "fixed". Although I'd be more bothered if it didn't require maintain sprint be off, which just meant I'd never actually use it.

Turn off maintain sprint and toggle crouch if you haven't already.

Start sprinting, thrust when at max speed and hold crouch mid thrust. There you go, you can now super slide.

Combine with a jump at the end to carry your momentum or thrust off of the edge of a lip of a ramp to ramp boost which is fucking awesome.

Fast fall and Slide Jump were both some moves that everyone could use if they are good.
Sorry but this is a bullshit fix.

You have serious other network bugs and stuff that you can't seem to fix but this is gonna taken out.

Why take out the super slide boost, such a fun mechanic to master. People love stuff that takes a bit of skill to pull off. It was fun doing it and even just watching pro's do it. Big mistake.

AWESOME:

■Modified color of Blue Team in multiplayer to improve Red vs Blue
■Increased Warzone REQ Leveling speed
■Increased Warzone weapon despawn time from 5 seconds to 20 seconds
■Spartan Rank Progress now appears under all players’ nameplate
■Rarity is displayed for REQs in Spartan HUB Customization
■Players can now see equipped customization items from Spartan Appearance, Spartan ID, and Weapon Skins rather than going to each individual menu screen


WUT:

■Added Line of Sight toggle option for use in custom games, such as Octagon
■Fixed “fast fall” and “slide boost” exploits
■Fixed issue where Maintain Sprint being toggled off didn’t allow players to slide when sprinting

So, this should hit tomorrow, right? I've got about 120k RP saved up. Wanted to get closer to 200k, but I just couldn't make enough time to play.

... Um, don't they? Thought that's what I heard last week, that it was being made available in Forge and Custom gametypes like the SPNKr.

Oh, okay for all the doom and gloom about the slide I thought they were just talking about chaining a slide and then a boost, but this is something else. Dunno then, never used it.

I'm indifferent to the exploit fix. It was cool going really fast down ramps and stuff but it's not like they completely took away the ability. Plays like the one Ninja pulled off on Plaza to grab the OS are still possible if I'm reading that right.

Ah, man.

Y'all should add it back in. Wasn't breaking any maps (that I've seen), and added a nifty layer of skill to traversal.

Not that I could do it, but it was nice to know it existed.

That's not how fix production schedules are "balanced" - it's not either/or. Separate workstreams continue on all major issues. Some are easier to address than others.

Slide thing, from what I understand, had some game-breaking properties that are not related to it simply being an "advanced technique."

My fingers have been close to pressing accept a couple of time to get the 100 Dollars gold packs, I have been strong, I doubt that could be said for a lot of players in Halo 5.

Why in the world would they fix an advance technique that added another layer to the game?

C'mon 343, get your priorities straight. I knew an overzealous designer didn't want his work "tarnished."

Wave dashing made Smash Bros melee so much more competitive and slide boost gave another tool for players to master.

well, so called "conspiracies" are formed because of decisions that don't make sense otherwise. But in reality, you are correct. It's just speculation, but it's all we can do honestly.

Way to go Sakurai.. You're just killing the competitive viability of Smash by removing landing lag cancels and "balancing" everything that made Smash fun!

What was the gamebreaking stuff?

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

edit: Beyond the whole slide boosting thing...

Running around on Riptide in a solo custom game (my controller is broken currently so not gonna try playing online sadly) and I love the layout. Strongholds positions on the map are great, too.

im fine with this. it was a goofy exploit. glad its removed. glitches that "add to the skill gap" should get fixed like any other glitch. deal.

That's just bullshit logic.

H2's button combos massively added to the game and they were glitches.

It was no more game breaking than something like sprint.

Any update on being able to see your medals after match? This is asked for regulary and has been a main feature of all previous games. Why include the epic announcer with medals if you can't even watch them after a game?

No. You only have to pay to watch their archived videos. Depends on the streamer though. Some open it up to non-subscribers.

When they're live though, anyone can watch

I just don't get the logic behind fixing something no one wanted fixed. It had zero negative impact on the game, in all honesty.
