You won nothing my little AR fan
Im simply tired about a immature discussion with trolling etc.I just think there should be a downside to it otherwise it might become a bit overpowered. You'll have people winning BR battles because they have thruster available rather than having a better BR/DMR. Same with other abilities, it needs a downside, GP with its charge time, clamber with it leaving you vulnerable, sprint with it not letting you recharge shield.
At the moment I'm not even sure of any downside thrust, and adding the ability to shoot while doing it on top of that? No thanks. I think they also need to increase the recharge time on thruster from the beta.
Edit: No offense to Jumper but I don't agree with him often, but in this case I do.

I don't think random is the word you're looking for. If it's something that everybody can do, it's likely it'll be consistently utilized by people.
It'd be pretty cool if you could shoot while thrusting imo. It would definitely be cool to see how it'd affect the skill gap. As it is though it still seems great.

Yeah maybe "random" was the wrong word. Munish explained it what i was trying to say^^
Hmm, that's fair. I don't think thruster would be the deciding factor enough that it would outweigh the benefits of being able to shoot whilst thrusting. The better shot is still going to win the majority of the time imo, actually hitting something whilst thrusting is going to be difficult.
Won't be that difficult with Halo 5's bullet magnetism.
The same could be said for hitting someone who's thrusting though.
Shouldn't have built every new weapon around SmartLink then. I get why they did, but 343 needs to have greater foresight of any potential issues. They designed their perk system around the fact you could only have two. But then this completely ruined any chance to 'mimic' classic Halo and is why the game suffered in legendary BR's, Slayer Pro etc.
You could only have resupply and extra grenade but not stability to take off flinch etc. Or dexterity and stability but not resupply etc.
I'm just glad I did my part here in making them realize the SPNKr needed to return in some form.

Well it's good to finally know at least.
The reasoning is kinda BS though.
Looking forward to these more "classic style" weapons. Could be really cool.
I'm not sure how it'd be "over powered". If people were winning battles (assuming it's a 1v1 equal status) wouldn't it be because they did something better? Also, HELLLLLL NAH to nerfing the recharge time.
Been there

Looking trough a scope with the Covenant Carbine is going to be weird^^

Oh god the first time i can agree with you.
At first it was weird to see Halo using ADS. But at the end, it wasnt really different than before.
Maybe they have to speed up the ADS animations a bit. But besides that it was fine to me.
Make the Needler turn into a Needle rifle when zoomed in.
Yeah, ADS needs to be much faster/snappier.
Yeah I remember seeing this somewhere. Would be cool.

I hope the plan for #huntthetruth is to find out how Dan Ayoub still has a job after MCC.
Samus can shoot while laterally thrusting/boosting, obviously a spartan should be able to as well
Would be kinda cool if chief and Locke had beefed up versions of the Spartan abilities during campaign just so you could do some really crazy shit.
Wahrer, is that you?

This is such a non-argument, it's blowing my mind. I dunno whether or not I'd prefer being able to shoot and thrust at the same time (leaning towards yes), but you are just categorically failing to argue your point here.
They enjoy techno babble and gauntlets of the gravitational variety.
idk what you're trying to tell me right now

Thrusters and sprint would be less of a problem in CE because the kill times are fast in a powerful sandbox. Food for thought.
First post after already knows!
Halo 5 could be the best Halo game if they have a CGB, otherwise we're doomed to matchmaking playlists which have a, what.. 99.9% fail rate?
No CGB and we're doomed to arguing over AR starts and the inevitable "Make Legendary weapons default weapon starts and weapons on the map" debates. So let it be written. So let it be done.
I'm vehemently against it from a lore, previous games and sheer principle standpoint, that they only put it in to appeal to random/CoD fans who probably won't come. It's irrational on my part, for sure, but I think the people who needed weapon to be shown in middle of screen before they played Halo or to consider it 'modern' are more irrational. That's still not going to prevent me from playing Halo 5 though. I had fun with the beta, I'll most likely have fun with the game.
I think MCC issues and sheer apathy towards Halo is why my excitement towards Halo 5 is so down. Who knows though as the hype ratchets up, I could get super excited again.
The somewhere you might have heard it from. Or more appropriately, someone...
am I being too subtle?

CE 2v2 tournament going on at Beyond.
I'd say to have OGRE2's stream open for the commentary (he's watching lunchbox's stream) while watching the game going on.

Nope. Pretty sure the max clip size is 5 minutes? You could get clever and record the 5 minute interframes, and stitch them together in Upload Studio.
If Upload Studio allows that clip length at all. I might be completely wrong though, so just see how long you could record. All I know is, you can't actually save filmclips in MCC.

Yup.
Blue Point should have done the H3 and H4 ports. And maybe even Halo 1. Someone else should have done the UI.

I think it's less about whether they give a fuck than it is an issue of logistics. 343 has probably had their hands full with H5 since MCC released just shy of a year away from its launch. I want MCC fixed, but I don't want work on H5 to suffer as a result. If outsourcing gets patches released without taking up H5's dev time, so be it.

Nah, it makes sense, actually. If you are willing to accept them introducing shit like cosmetic ADS (and it's not completely cosmetic BTW) for the sake of attracting a public that will only play the game for a week before moving to the next CoD/Battlefield, you are opening the door for them to keep adding more of that shit in the future. I can already see the line of thought they'll use: "Oh, I guess introducing (mostly) cosmetic ADS is not enough to attract the modern shooter crowd... What should we do now? Oh shit, I got an idea, let's go full-blown ADS next time! They are gonna love Halo 6 you'll see!" So yeah, maybe it won't change anyhting in the end, but it's very rational to complain if you don't like what they are doing with the game.
And it requires some skill to perform, at least. Clamber feels so automated and boring by comparison... Ugh, easily my most disliked addition along with ADS. Also agree with you about the motion tracker, wish they'd kill it already.
I know. But, it's still insulting when profuse outsourcing is what created the final product that needs fixing in the first place. It also gives the impression that 343 doesn't care enough to try to work on it themselves. This should be a high priority title for 343 and Microsoft and they treat it like shit.

But 343 hasnt worked on MCC at the first place. Everything was outsourced.
But its interesting that not the original studios worked on the March patch (or maybe they have), no they contacted another Studio to do stuff..
Man i really wanna know what happened. There must be a explanation for all of this.

Jun tends to be strictly Spartan Branch these days. I'm guessing Osman, Locke, or a Master Chief impersonator.

imo, ADS for weapons that lack a traditional scope (plasma pistol / needler), traditional scope for traditionally-scoping weapons.
It'd be pretty funny if it was an MC impersonator voiced by the dude who did him in Halo Legends.

Thruster definitely needs a nerf, I don't know how much Halo 5 you played but it was used way too often to escape battles.
