Personally I would much rather have the option to climb up a ledge if I just barely missed it as opposed to just stupidly falling when I have 2 super soldier hands perfect for climbing. That's an instance in which anybody would lower their weapon on the battlefield. Not every encounter is "Two players enter, the better one leaves". Sometimes one player catches another off gaurd. Sometimes one player isn't looking to fight because they are busy trying to gain a tactical advantage using the map. Maybe. MAYBE. It's a trade off.
You're right. This isn't Tony Hawk. The points you get aren't for style (well... not technically). However every match is made up of a ton of little decisions and maneuvers that make a large impact. If you make the crouch jump, you are rewarded with getting to where you need to go quicker and without having to lower your weapon. If you have to clamber though, it might be because you either missed the crouch jump (in which case you are being punished with a momentary trade off of offensive ability for mobility) or there was a part of the map you were trying to get to that made the momentary trade off worth it.

Yes? Because, I mean, that sucks for them, but hell, I'm not gonna pass up the opportunity to get some free shots in.
I do think that there's a middle ground here. Letting people cancel out of clamber, for one, would be a good option, especially if (again) there was a crouch jump available. Opening up the movement toolbox is a good thing, IMO; we should be figuring out ways to make it work, not screaming bloody murder and rejecting it wholesale.

No player is going to pass up getting free shots on their enemy. The question is, do you think the game should be designed around mechanics that allow most encounters to begin with one player getting free uncontested shots on an enemy who can't immediately return fire?

this scares the shit out of me, the way it gallops. -shutters-
brb currently lmao
Not joking my sides are killing me. Thank you.
It shouldn't be designed around that of course, however assasinations are an offensive ability to drive home how dad your enemy is.
Clamber is based around moving around the map and sometimes movement will require you to momentarily sacrifice your offensive ability for a better pay off. There are other mobility options based around combat such as the ground pound, thrusters, and shoulder checks which can enhance combat scenarios.

Hey folks, I don't want to do the HaloGAF tournament anymore. SORRY. I know this shit always seems to fall apart one way or another, and I hate to contribute to that trend. Someone else should totally do it, though! My interest in gaming has been non-existent lately, and I honestly just don't care enough to put the effort in. Plus the MCC not working has been pretty disappointing, and has me thinking I might as well take this opportunity to totally push games out of my mind and focus on other stuff.
Anyways, you all figure out if want to do a tournament and who you want to organize it. I'd be happy to talk with the people in charge and pass on my plans, if that's helpful. PM me.

Nightfall bores me to tears.
Remember when MCC was supposed to rejuvenate the community and bring people back?
Yup. There are Spartan call outs for grenade spam. I wonder what needs to happen for it to do that. Have more than 2 grenades within a zone at once?
If you don't mind me asking, are you working on some kind of project?
We need to get to work on an abridged version. For the people.
Thanks for the heads up. How's everything going dude?

Any FPS has this situation. Approach a enemy outside of their FOV you get a free shot while they can't immediately return fire at you until they turn and aim at you.

Halo 5 would look so much better to me if it didn't have sprint and ADS.

Remember when we only had color pallets on maps to complain about?
Matchmaking isn't broken, it's just forced Solo Queue for player ranking purposes. Once everyone is placed into their appropriate divisions: Cleanser, Donger, Randy, Casual, Scrub, then players will be able to join Matchmaking in parties.

Probably got replaced by a spartan yelling "I'm engaging the enemy!" Or something along those lines. Then you round the corner and one red spartan is on a knee with a ring. Halo 5 is a weird game.

Seem like halo isn't 343's target audience anymore.
We have people arguing that if someone misses a jump we should hold their hand and let them recover with the shitty clamber ability.
What happened to punishing those who made a stupid move? Now its all "participation ribbons and 'hey, don't feel bad that you suck, here are a ton of useless medals'"
Yes, the "everyone is a winner" mentality is way too prevalent.
That's a bit of a stretch, considering he doesn't have the desire to play anything, lol.
I don't mind to organize something when the game is fixed.
Damnit, I was gonna get back to Portland and then borrow your One off you.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
There are other ways of playing??

SMG starts encourage me to skillfully crouch my way around the map, looking at my motion tracker for nearby enemies that I can strategically plan an assault on. I love taking 5 minutes to thoughtfully plan out and execute a single kill in a Slayer game to 50 kills.
The one true way to play Halo.

Frankie is the white Sakurai confirmed.
I see each SMG spawn as its own individual challenge. With each life comes a unique Quest, one that demands skillful strategy and execution to acquire the more powerful weapons. SMG spawns provide a real sense of adventure and triumph, whereas spawning with a capable, versatile, utility weapon, only provides a hollow and emotionless sense of accomplishment.
SMG starts are the Dark Souls of Halo.
Halo CE done on legendary! That warthog run is a little irritating. Kept dying because of random stuff. Like suddenly dying from fall damage when going over that jump at the end. Or running over a grunt and having its weapon explode, flipping my warthog over and killing me. If there were a checkpoint in the middle it would be a little better.
And on that note. Is there an achievement for completing all these campaigns on legendary solo? Or could I do it with friends if I really needed to?

The only solo Legendary achievement is for Halo 4. Just don't do it by playing a campaign playlist. I was screwed out if it

Ayo Ram are you staring Halo 4 legendary or you gonna do it at all? I'd like to know hobbit runs.
Anyone feel free to chime in who has played it.
Just finished Halo 3, and all I can keep thinking is I'd like a game playing as the Arbiter, that guy is a G. Chief and Arbiter storming that tower of Flood at the end of Halo 3 was badass. Happy to see him back in Halo 5, I hope he has a big role in the game.
1080/60 has me appreciating that game In a whole new light. I havent played it in years and was pleasantly surprised.
Halo 5 is to Ryn as CE is to Funknown and Halo 4 is to Ozzy.

I too though it was gonna be a chore. But 1-3 have been an absolute blast.
Aside from replaying missions due to bugs of course. Just goes to show how good those campaigns were that we are willing to repeat missions twice over.
Damn, aren't you getting tired from trying to move those goalposts so much?TriStateTryHard said:

Not just that. But she doesn't look anything like her CGI representation. Her head is a completely different shape. As is her body, as far as I can tell
So weird

Fuck this console...
Third time doing Truth and Reconciliation.
- First time game crashed towards the end of mission.
- Second time game completed without marking as done.
- Third time console decides it's time for an update right when I get to Keys.

Basically that's just the format for most of TA's walkthroughs. It's like "If you do X, then you get Y achievement". I think it's mainly that way because the site has its own achievement tiles that are almost like banners when viewed in the walkthrough, so it makes sense to have them after the description leading up to how to obtain them. It kinda brackets that section and lets you know that the information for that achievement is complete at that point.
I could see doing it the other way around and having the achievement tile/banner above the desription for obtaining it, but since most of the WTs I see (and review for WT supervisor duties) use the description - tile format that's just what I tend to use as well.
