Contextual action?

I don't think it's a loadout or special pickup like an AA or Equipment.

do you now understand what is in my heart
Ah okay. The question mark on the "None" is what confused me lol
Weird.... How else could it work...?

it could be context sensitive or mapped to a button on the controller. perhaps a D-pad button or something

Pressing the "spartan ability" button in different situations could have different affects. Press it while in the air to do a ground slam. Press it while sprinting to do one hit kill shoulder bash. Press it while not moving to go into stationary camo. Press it while holding the incineration cannon to automatically win the match.

I agree, it's not really encouraging. However, for what it's worth...I somewhat enjoyed Halo 4 besides instant spawns, random weapon events, cluttered map design, wonky weapon balance, and unbalanced loadouts. If Halo 5 got rid of all those things, but kept sprint or a dash feature...I honestly think it might work.
Sorry if I turned it into an unfruitful argument, but I just think we have a right to listen to the devs and get excited. We obviously have differing opinions on that, so we can leave it be.

Balanced, yes. Fun, no.

Huh? I mean what other way could it be distributed to players in multiplayer besides picking them in your loadout or having them as special pickups that are on certain points in the map? Either way the commands will likely be mapped to the D pad or something.

I would be really into Halo 5 having thrusters. Those work dramatically different than sprint. None of the concerns I have about sprint carry over to thrusters, and thrusters actually sound fun and interesting.
Why d-pad? Armor abilities were never mapped there...?

I said or something. I couldn't remember what buttons they were mapped to. I just said it because that's what Ragnorok suggested, and he probably knows more about this stuff than me, so I just went with it.

I'll throw my 2 cents in again (if anybody cares):
Personally, I would be completely okay with:
- No sprint
- Thrusters (on CD)
- Possibly context sensitive (close to an enemy targeting them? = that thrust slam from behind. Press it in the air for a ground slam.
- Thrusters being directional and bound to a single button. Would def. need to be able to throw grenades and shoot while doing so (perhaps with some camera bob for the movement (similar to jumping, I guess)
- Much faster movement speed
I think they can easily make Halo feel "next-gen" and "fast(er)" without breaking the game w/ sprint.
I'm going to give them this last chance on H5. I have high hopes and optimism. Right now they're saying and doing all the right things, so for me, they deserve some credit.
Don't feel bad for being optimistic and excited for Halo 5 guys, especially just because some people have salt up their butt.

Anything context sensitive like ledge grabbing or grappling with an opponent has no place in multiplayer.

I love the new Brutes.
I really do not like the new Cortana.
I don't think this is over-analytical, nothing about those buildings look Covenant or Forerunner, and the sense of scale is completely lost.
I really do not like the new Cortana.
My time to be an over-analytical butt-hole:
I found it odd that the new Covenant city of High Charity appears to be a human city landscape. Very jarring. Looks like they photoshopped an actual night time human city photograph and pasted it in there lol...
I don't think this is over-analytical, nothing about those buildings look Covenant or Forerunner, and the sense of scale is completely lost.
I think the buildings are trying to match the similar city seen in Halo 2 A's terminal trailer.
They look somewhat odd, I agree, but the sense of scale is not lost on me by looking at the sides, so I have no issue with this. Or Cortana, for that matter. And this is coming from someone who played the Campaign religiously.
I'm more worried about the framerate rumours.

I took these from different gameplay... it just depends on the angle. In her "bad" screenshots, she is tilting her head down, compressing or hiding her neck. Pretty normal looking to me... IMO
Here is some "better pictures." I think everyone's complaints are a bit over the top (I know I'm only responding to you about this).
Head tilted downward:
More upright/normal position:
Whoa without reading anything I actually thought this was some photoshop joke. Damn

Couple of questions tho,
1) Have we seen any Halo 3 MP gameplay yet? I want to see Sandtrap ASAP!
2) Is split screen confirmed, if so (a) how does it work regarding profiles, and (b) how does the frame-rate hold up?

can't wait to listen to the fill version of Punishment (Heavy Price Paid), definitely one of my favorites from halo 2 soundtrack, all these samples sound really great though!
