[DopeyFish]

- Sprint confirmed.
- ADS confirmed (not)
- ADS un-confirmed
- Descope confirmed


People now largely not mad.

could you slurp any harder

 

[Ampoc]

At first, the I did not like the gameplay at all but now I seem to like it. The maps seem to have a colourful mood to me, and the gameplay doesnt look floaty like Halo 4. Excited for Monday night.

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

Something I just noticed in the stream, looks like they toned down the HUD prompts for CTF.

 

[klodeckel]

Halo 5 beta gameplay leaked showing ADS on the BR. Everything went downhill, the salt mines overflowed. Then, during damage control, Josh said that it's only some kind of weird hybrid visual ADS, that descoping exists, and that movement won't be affected and that hip fire accuracy remains.

Basically it's ADS but it's supposedly not ADS.

It's just a visual change. Like the zoom in freaking every Halo to-date just that you see the gun. Some said that from the beginning - yes, including myself. It was just obvious.

 

[Mix]

Huh. Today's been interesting.

I hoped it would be QOTSA before I clicked the link. You did not let me down, son.

 

[Trey]

Those clips have only made me want to wait until monday, which is what I was going to do even when I thought that ADS bullshit was in completely.

The sword looks putrid.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Vin where did the clips come from??

 

[RebornYeti]

So, say Sprint is removed. What else could we complain about?

 

[The Flash]

For the even-tempered, yes.

QotSA is GOAT

 

[LinkToTheFuture]

Does anyone have links to this footage? How can it be hybrid ads? I really dont like ads.. =(

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Yeah, sprint is depressing, but at that point I'm howling at a moon that's facing the opposite direction.

 

[TriStateTryHard]

We could focus on actually improving the game, not trying to remove all the bullshit that doesn't belong in the game in the first place. Like making the Speedboost Power Up not suck so much.

 

[belushy]

He said he got it from the beyond forums. I looked it some dude called "Akademic" posted them.

 

[IHaveIce]

Probably Aim assist, no datacentre servers, medals etc. We always would find something don't worry.

And we need a custom game browser

I love the joy that the sentinel beam brings whenever it appears in the tournament.

Didn't see that posted. Never heard of beyond and not bothered to look either.

Controlled leak was controlled.

"let's kick the fucking hornets nest before reveal to generate buzz"

And shit, it worked. Look at the leak thread and this one

 

[Poodlestrike]

Yeah Always a nice moment when people use anything other than the BR or the power weapons.

 

[NobleGundam]

Is this a glitch or did Josh Holmes really block me? I don't really use Twitter so I'm not sure if this happens to others:

He got tired of your shit, unknown. Magnum is a scrub weapon.

Spoiler

Jk. Lol. Oh btw, Sprint is in Halo 5, sorta. That's all I know about it atm. Yay Monday reveal.

 

[wwm0nkey]

I have a feeling that they would stun your shields when you are sprinting and recover after your done sprinting and walking for a little while. That's my guess.

Im okay with it not letting your shields charge while you are using it. Would prefer it gone but thats a good middle ground.

 

[BigShow36]

Strafe, aim assist, time to kill. The stuff that matters the most.

No spectator mode.... not enough innovation in forge

Shield recharge should have nothing to do with how fast you are moving. I don't know why people think this is a good idea.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Is equipment confirmed

True, but I guess I meant about actual gameplay. I assume the rumored spartan abilities will have people up in arms.

Wait, and what's wrong with the aim assist?

 

[Madness]

This gif is amazing though. Completely summed up the feelings of 3 hours ago.

 

[Tawpgun]

Need confirmation zooming in doesn't slow down aiming to babby mode and there's no penalty to jumping while scoped like there is in destiny

I'm good. He's chatted with me in the past about New Mexico. What'd you do? ;p

Your reticle slowing down while over an enemy isn't bad. Bullets that would have missed curving towards an enemy instead is bad. Your reticle chasing after an enemy without you moving it is bad.

 

[iMax]

Really curious if Halo 5's ADS will have slow aiming. Would be pretty bad if so.

You mean the time it takes to engage ADS? It's a three frame animation.

 

[IHaveIce]

Spartan Abilities still sound like pure nonsense

 

[Poodlestrike]

No indication one way or the other regarding equipment, AFAIK.

 

[singhr1]

So Halo 5 huh,

Medpacks return (no logical reason to show healthbar otherwise) and pistol is faster w/ large magazine unlike halo 4.

 

[antigoon]

No I mean the movement speed of the reticle while aimed.

 

[King Leo]

Sprint just needs to go away completely.

 

[danwarb]

Smaller text prompts.


Wow that stream got ugly.

 

[TriStateTryHard]

Aiming sensitivity while aiming down sights.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Gotta say, I'm a fan of both.

 

[Bornstellar]

Potato quality aside, those Halo 5 clips have me frothing with anticipation for tomorrow's reveal.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Nothing lol

 

[FatMarshall]

The health bar doesn't look like it has much of an impact in terms of change on the core gameplay, actually. Looks like it was added in just for display purposes.

Health has always been in every Halo game, but it just wasn't visible and the impact didn't justify its visibility. Displaying it without changing its characteristics seems like a better thing to me, rather than what Reach did.

A small amount is usually beneficial as it helps speed up the game to some degree. However, almost every single modern shooter has way too much aim assist and negatively impacts the skill game. Halo 2 - 4 have way too much of it and the game would greatly benefit from reduced aim assists.

How about a customizable toggle in the custom options menu? That would satisfy everyone.

 

[RoKKeR]

Very unfortunate hashtag gaining traction in the Twitch chat of this tourney.

 

[antigoon]

Aiming sensitivity while aiming down sights.

Yeah, that's the language I was looking for.

Anyway I hope they didn't mess with that.

Edit: I'm concerned that they did. Unless it really, truly is 100% cosmetic.

 

[Bornstellar]

Actually think it's a great balancing mechanic. If you run from a fight, you do so knowing that you are more vulnerable than you otherwise might be.

I had my chat closed watching this tournament. I made the mistake of opening it. Never again.
