in the Nightfall thing that was in the IGN article, how the fuck does Locke become the "leader of ONI"?

I only watched the video and they only refer to him as "leader", when they talk about the team he is leading. Not sure, what's up with that, but I doubt he is the leader of ONI. Would be strange. :/

That announcer at the start of H2A one flag CTF is cringeworthy. How is saying what he said any more effective than "capture the flag!"

I guess it's their way of being more "accessible". Will be VERY annoying if that play at the beginning of every match. Should be a toggle, or only plays during your first match.

Yeah I agree completely with this.

It just doesn't sound right... at all.

And it plays for every round

They really need to cut down on some stuff, IMO.

I liked just the sounds and "flag dropped" etc it made when someone captured, grabbed or dropped your flag.

Having 1-2 sentences for every action is just too much.

Sorry Mix, I really like some of the other title suggestions here than just Mjolnir Mix. I get the wordplay with your name and the theme, but it's more a collection of all Halo games, and I think even the new H2A version is called Gungnir Mix etc. So it's not necessarily the best title, in my opinion.

Here's what I'd use, I think this may have been said or was similar.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection OT - Halo never died, it was just missing in action.

I personally don't mind a little snark as long as it's not insulting. I don't like obscure jokes that the community at large doesn't get, nor do I like straight titles ie. Halo MCC OT: This is Halo etc. Either way, you've got a lot of great suggestions to work with.

I just hope there's no sprint in H5, just increased movement speed. Maybe some new thrust-like abilities or something.

My man. Too many people give up on campaigning against sprint since it's "inevitable". I may agree but fuck get it out.

Would defs be down for a small booster/thrust thing though. If anyone played Shadowrun, having an abort booster for a quick left/right strafe-direction boost at the cost of shields would be pretty tight. Like wired reflexes.

Yeah... I gotta say. I'm super anxious to see H5 beta.

If I see sprint though... :/

They can def. make Halo 5 still feel like Halo without something as game breaking as sprint.

I believe they'll do us right.

 

[danwarb]

An arena shooter has no need for sprint, but please do increase movement speed. The sticks are analogue, so use 'em.

I agree, it's a shame really. Sprint is so bad for gameplay and map design. Like I've said before we can just treat the Halo 5 beta as a try before you buy... if you don't like it and you don't see any signs they've fixed the issues then don't get the final game, we have the MCC to fall back on now. I'm waiting to see the approach to sprint and spartan abilities but if it's anything like Halo 4, I'll pass on H5.

Well, is Halo 5 really going to be an Arena shooter? There might be small 4v4 maps, but is it going to be "Arena"? I'm just worried that 343 are using it as a tagline to get us interested, play the beta and spread the good word, and when Halo 5 does come out, that's all thrown out for the "CoD crowd".

I might be worrying too much, but I mean, Halo 4 still has left a sour taste in my mouth in terms of MM.

 

[VinFTW]

Well I wouldn't go that far Cow. It's a year prior to release of the full game.

MAYBE, if they have it in there and people complain enough they'll take it out. That's is one of the major reasons there having a proper, 3 week long beta 1 year before release.

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

I share many of u guys sentiments, halo 5 needs to keep the halo formula but speeded up because after playing titanfall halo feels very slow. Remove sprint but increase base movement , thrusters are good, double jumping hell yes

 

[Fahzgoolin]

Looks like sprint is in by the nature of the map design. At least to me, it gives us a clue. Look at the new Midship for example. It's wider and more spacious than before, which could mean they are compensating for sprint.

Hope not, but I'm not going to be surprised.

So...just because some game is faster that means Halo needs to be sped up?

MKAY SURE

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Thrusters are cool, but double jumping would require another element to focus on with map design. Thrusters could fit well into Halo CE or Halo 2, but double jumps would make those games pretty different, for example.

Double Jumps as a Power-up though? Hell yuh!

They won't take out something like sprint less than 1 year out from launch. That will most likely screw up the map design too much. If it's in the Beta, it's staying.

Maybe the map design in the new midship is wider because of the new spartan abilities?

(still convinced the CG h5 beta teaser confirmed sprint :/)

Given some of the posts on Halo centered threads (not just this one), this seems the most fitting.

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

MKAY SURE

Well yes because its fustrating to be restricted to a crawling speed once u have experienced something far quicker

Thrusters are cool, but double jumping would require another element to focus on with map design. Thrusters could fit well into Halo CE or Halo 2, but double jumps would make those games pretty different, for example.

True but maybe its time halo added greater verticality

 

[Ramirez]

Fooled you, it's P(CE)

 

[GrizzNKev]

Sprint needs to go away. It invalidates the flow of combat by allowing people who make tactical mistakes to run away. Almost every encounter becomes running away. Halo should be about making decisions and dealing with the consequences. I agree that limited boosters for a quick change of direction is fine.

The main point, which I said in reference to H2A MP as well, is that you can make a collection of subtle changes to Halo to create an entire new game without stepping all over the core principles.

trying to be more positive in this thread and then you go and post something fucking stupid like this.
1. Halo should have faster movement without sprint
2. Titanfall may not be an arena game, but the movement speed without sprint in that game is good.
3. Why the fuck do you think 343 added all the shit into halo 4?

BECAUSE EVERY OTHER FUCKING "MODERN" GAME HAD IT.

4. Fucking get rid of all the non halo shit
5.

I'd argue that there's good modern FPS trends and bad modern FPS trends. Sprint, ADS, loadouts, those are bad modern FPS trends. But the rising prominence of verticality and movement? That's pretty good.

 

[danwarb]

It would if it were really good. Halo has done pretty well being Halo.

 

[Ragnarok Flames]

you'd think they'd learn after watching Halo 4's population drop faster than a junkie's brain cells.

Halo 4 was objectively a shitty Halo game, and a very shitty CoD game.
