Equal starts.
If he only made crouch jumping big :'(
Somehow I came across this while searching.
Unfortunately I can't find the vid Noble is talking about. I really want to see it too.
Sweeeeeeet
This would be really great.
They're not legally obligated to do jack shit, but I'd say they are ethically obligated to do something.
I would also be very surprised to be preordering Halo 5 after this launch. I'm not a kid anymore, I don't care about preorder bonuses, I just want a game that works, and 343/MS have lost my trust for now.
I actually realized that there's really no reason to preorder games a while ago.
It doesn't benefit you at all. The only exception I can really think of is when there is a Limited Edition you really want.
Even then though you can usually find them later on.
I found a Halo 2 LE in perfect condition for $20 last year. It even had the Xbox Live card (silver wasn't scratched off) and some coupons for Halo Slurpees.

Wtf is spring jumping?
No it is Spring Jumping.
But it is kinda difficult to explain for me, but look it up on youtube.

That's fair. I wasnt saying it sarcastically at all. I just thought there was a new type of jump pioneered by the one and only 343.
Really wouldn't surprise me.
On one hand, with the options given, players are at risk at losing some power of mobility, which could lead to some battles being played out unfavorably. On the other hand, at least those options are not global, unchangeable, settings that take away the mobility from all the players. Putting that power and trade-off in the hand of players sounds reasonable.
The perk system barely had any sensible trade-offs.

Spring Jump - jump and hold crouch while airborne, land crouched, uncrouch and jump near simultaneously to achieve a higher jump

Wait.. so you can't crouch in the air anymore at all? When people were saying this eliminates the need for crouch jumping, I didn't think it actually took away the ability to crouch jump too..........
What, Y.
Ubisoft is letting everyone with a season pass to AC Unity get all the gear from it, the DLC, and a free game.
If you didn't have the season pass you still get the DLC for free.
Wonder what 343 is gonna do. Doubt microsoft will just say "Have anything published by microsoft games"

Pretty easy way to dump off Ryse on us.
They don't owe us anything.

Yeah when on the ground, but in the air if crouch is used to ground pound then crouch jumping is probably gone since you hover for a second, unless you only hover if the circle is white, no? Hmm, I hope this isn't the case as it would definitely slow gameplay down if you have to clamber to get over every object slightly higher than regular jumping.
As time progresses, more and more I wish they went with faster movement speed despite initially being alright with sprint. I see how sprint is just an illusion of speed still, so there's no use to having it in Halo 5 over increasing base speed. People wouldn't think Halo gameplay is slow if base speed wasn't so slow and kill times weren't so long.
Flamesword actually just posted a video yesterday about spring jumps.
Crouch jump might still be a thing...

Okay now that is exciting to me if it can be linked with Thrusters and other movement options instead of being a stiff ability.

Deez is a 343 mouthpiece, as multiplayer designer of course he will act like they will listen. Like how greenshill is a mouthpiece while not working for 343.
And ffs 343 the AR should NOT be in the same range as the BR and Deez basically confirmed that ADS changes the way the game is played by changing weapon behavior.
So again. Fuck ADS.

Yeah. Having no access to team beyond because of vendettas against me, I had to dig to find that info.
Edit: accidentally a word.
Has this always been a thing in Halo? Never knew about this
I thought it was more interesting that he implied the SMG is better than the BR...
Mancannon slides are so much fun. Feels like you're playing Tribes.
I was hoping this would be the case so seeing it confirmed gets me even more excited.

It's too bad Quinn and more 343 people don't post here. I feel like Beyond is exponentially harsher to Halo than this place, yet we're the ones who get shit thrown at us and Frankie leaving our luv on the dawn of a poor TMCC launch ;'[
This is cool and I'm glad it exists. Good to see advanced tech in Halo.
Neither did I. It feels good knowing there's still some cool stuff to discover in Halo.

These are the people that are in charge of the multiplayer...
Well if it's at close range then yeah I'd imagine it would be. It's not like it has the advantage of dual wielding.
Though if it can outdo a BR at mid range that would be lame.

Who cares about the BR.. The weapon should've been removed after Halo 2, and rightfully was after Halo 3.
People complain about automatics being babby weapons, but the BR is a babby's rifle, so get over it. Doesn't even require decent aiming to land a headshot.. just sweep and earn 100k like Ace did.

I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. Depends on how its balanced. I just thought it was interesting.
Actually from the footage we've seen its quite nice that almost all the weapons seem viable. It's getting quite boring being forced to use the BR in pretty much every situation.
Eh, maybe that's because I've played nothing but Team BRs for the past 40 matches.

Meh. Halo needs a utility weapon.
The SMG is a close range weapon that shouldn't be able to go mid range like the Br or close-mid like the AR.
--fuck ADS
Why can't we have multiple utility weapons? Actually, why can't every weapon be effective at their given range? In previous Halos a BR was almost always the preferred weapon, no matter the range. Unless you had a power weapon it was always the BR. That's quite boring
I'd rather have it where most of the time close up an AR wins against a BR. A skilled player should obviously still be able to outplay a lesser skilled player. However adding that layer of strategy involved in having the right weapon for the job would make the game much more interesting IMO. It would force people to consider their movements far more based upon the weapons their holding.

I can get behind this, it's not that I dislike the BR it's just I've had enough of it dominating game play over Halo 2, 3 & 4. 4's Turbo update especially. I hope more of the weapons sandbox can come out and play in Halo 5.
Yeah, that's cool. There are a few places on The Ark as you're walking through those buildings that are similar to pieces of geometry on the first Halo too. Thought it was a nice touch
Supposedly this week according to Bravo, no time table has been given though, where'd ya here tomorrow?
or y'know.... just merge the 2 and voila! you have the original BR mechanics as shown at E3 2003
