So is the Light rifle a loadout weapon?
Ain't no loadouts, bruh

Until I see actual proof of that... Let me rephrase this, "can we choose to spawn with a BR or choose a LightRifle?"

And is Waypoint the only place 343 will be collecting feedback?

I hope not. Frank and David Ellis are silent due to MCC right now, but I hope they start posting again and reading once beta is live. This is literally the make or break future of the franchise. They should be scouring every corner of the net, reading opinions, whether it's waypoint, GAF, twitter, Reddit, HBo, TeamBeyond, Bnet etc.
That lighting... it's gorgeous!
That lightning... IT'S THUNDEROUS!!
That was the FIRST internet meme I ever saw. My cousin showed it to me way back in the day along with Arby n' the Chief and Halo 3.

That babby didn't even try to thrust. They deserved death.
The pound definitely needs a bit more charge time tho. Or without more charge time it just knocks people back.
Nah. I wouldn't say so.
Perform misdeeds upon Destiny's GLUTIUS MAXIMUS!!
Not likely since it's been in development since before Destiny's reveal.
No I'm not bitter

Not sure. I think there was talk of a dedicated feedback forum (as in, something distinct from Waypoint). Plus, there's going to be weekly voting, so they'll probably take in some feedback that way.
I'd be kind of surprised if they totally screened out any and all other sources of feedback, though.

If they do limit it to waypoint then whose feedback are they realistically listening to?
Dirty Waypoint scum

No. Not scum. Just different. And just a singular viewpoint on what halo should be.

Until they specifically say "hey, we are listening to x,y,z community" they are probably only going to listen to greenshill and halo waypoint.
Its literally the same animations. Lel

Weird, I remember way back in the past on Waypoint reading complaints that Frankie cared more for Neogaf than Waypoint.
Does the superman ground pound have that after shock thing the other ground pound does? I forget if that's default for all ground pounds in Destiny.
A significantly less salty response than I expected.
You feeling alright? 
I've got nothing against Waypointers. Though I don't really like the forums much due to the way they're handled.
I doubt they'll limit it to just Waypoint since that'd take away a lot of potential feedback and as Ragnarok pointed out, show a very narrow set of views on how it should play.
Actual comparison for new page.
I haven't played Destiny since launch, and I can't remember.

What's with the names on those?
Excellent point.
The main reason I doubt it, though, is because we know 343 people spend time on other sites; I have trouble believing they'd deliberately ignore anything that's not on Waypoint

If you can thrust every 4 seconds, and thrust is needed to ground pound... Once every four seconds?
We're always reading feedback, and from many different places on the web.

Good to know. Thanks tahsi.

Guys...
Halo 5 looks gorgeous.
Just hope they can up the resolution by launch.

what the fuck are you even talking about
I never played as a Titan (Hunter forever) and I haven't played for a long time. Game is evil. I believe it was though. Sure is a good thing that won't be a thing with the H5 Ground Pound right?... right?
I think if they tone down the damage shockwave and only make a direct hit do damage it will be fine. Anything else will do minor damage (a 1/2 of their shield?) and have a knock back. Thoughts?
CE is working a lot better with this recent update apparently. Not sure about other games.

I almost wouldn't care, it looks amazing as is. Still, more p's is a good thing, as long as fps doesn't suffer. Probably going to go with a non-standard res like COD AW.
Well you're in luck as they've already confirmed the final game will be in 1080p.

60fps was only confirmed.

Don't think so. 60fps, yes. Higher than 720p, yes. 1080p? Doubt it.

1080p/60fps/22FOV

Doesn't look that great visually to me. H4 was impressive but this one looks the same with maybe a bit more detail.
I remember this too, and after this it seems like 343 (seemingly) only focused on waypoint as a point of reference. Like Tashi posted, I do hope the feedback pull is wider again now.
Also ground pound looks fun, but OP.
What is the weapon called that locks on kind of like a rocket launcher in H2 now in H5? Didn't catch it.
Should be direct hit or no damage at all I'm thinking. Things to help balance ground pound could include cool down time, hover time, size and visibility of reticule/damage radius, pointer speed, and temporary stun like fall damage in halo 1 or lowered shields.

Ground Pound needs nerfing before the beta even hits the ground.

yea i didnt know it was going to have that much range and seems like a lock on mode?

It was confirmed in a ViDoc or something a while ago that it would only be 720p for the beta. The beta is already 60fps. I can go find it I guess but... efffooooorrrrt.
What do you think of a blast back that doesn't deal damage?

900p is more likely than 1080p.
And that could work for Ground Pound. You miss the kill, you don't do any damage. Is there a delay when you hit the ground with GP? If there is, it would help even more on the whole Risk/Reward element.
I know they at least said the full game would have a higher res.
Yeah the Ground Pound has a delay after you land where you're going back into first person. Whether you have an invincibility period during this (which would be such bullshit) is uncertain as far as I know.

Agreed on Ground Pound; reducing (or eliminating) the AoE damage would be great, as would adding a longer recovery animation upon landing to discourage spamming. Maybe add in an AoE knockback.
I think it'd also give a well timed ground pound potential use against vehicles. You could roll a warthog if done right. If not done right well...
From what I understand they just screen cap and then edit the image. Upload to preferred site and boom tweet shot.
