Halo 2 had Blow Me Away...
Republic Commando had Clones...

I wish H5 would have something like that in it

Personally I just want a Skrillex song to play at every end match animation.

 

[op_ivy]

been playing quite a bit of mcc and its clear as day to me that despite some mis-steps, halo has really improved from one iteration to the next. as far as multiplayer movement and gunplay goes, its halo 4 (in its current state, without ordinance and weapon balances) > (reach?) > halo 3 > halo 2 > halo ce. the older games feel so fucking clunky compared to halo 4. and sprint is a good thing. sorry haters.

Now I appreciate a good drop of the bass as much as the next guy but no. Roaring guitars or nothing.

I (kinda) agree. The base gameplay of H4 (and H5) feels really smooth compared to the older games. H4 is definitely one of the worst from a design aspect though; ordnance drops, loudouts, (most of) the armour abilities, flinch etc. are all kinda terrible.

Yep. Getting there.

CE's movement and gunplay is the worst in the series to you guys?

Breaks my heart ;'[

RIP in peace Halo CE moving on ice feels

(no at Halo 3 movement > Halo 2 tho take yourself to the front of the bad opinion train)

 

[Forerunner]

I agree from a movement and gunplay aspect that H4 is the best. It just feels so fluid and good. AAs sucks, so does sprint, and as do the perks. Also the maps aren't anything to write home about.

yeah, but thats all separate to the feel of how the game plays. movement and shooting. from what i recall of the halo 5 beta, it felt considerably better than 4 in this regard. god damn i cant wait for halo 5.

EDIT: i may have jumped the gun with halo 3 > halo 2 (to fit my narrative). more testing is needed. halo 3 definitely has some oddities that detract from the things it did improve on from halo 2.

Is no one going to mention the fact that every single gun in Halo 4 requires little skill to use.

Boltshot takes a lot of skill.

[tootsi666]

Halo 2 movement feels the best IMO. Halo 4 is close second, CE and 3 are kinda bad.

yeah, thats one of the "mist steps" i guess...

but halo 5!!

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Halo 3's gunplay is so bad that it should be last on every list ranking gunplay in Halo lol, but I digress.

 

[Nowise10]

but halo 5!!

Now Halo 5 actually has some good weapons. Sniper is still too easy to use tho. Not sure why developers like making snipers so easy in most games.

Halo 3's gunplay is so bad that it should be last on every list ranking gunplay in Halo lol, but I digress.

Time for my daily post reminding Halo 3's Game/gunplay is the best out of the series.

 

[jem0208]

I certainly wouldn't say that, CE's gunplay is pretty fantastic. It has a few quirks which I'm not sure about, although I'm not sure if that's MCC related issues or if that was always how it was. It's been a long time since I played CE on the original Xbox.

I'd definitely rank CE's gunplay above 3. It's the movement I have an issue with in CE. It strays a bit too far into ice rink feel and the jumping is just bad.

Halo 2 is definitely better than 3 as well. 3 is just the worst.

Oh I agree with that. I think H4 excels in the game feel aspect, although the guns are too easy to use (something which H5 thankfully seems be fixing).

i really hope that isnt tweaked in the final game to "reach a broader audience"

I'm not sure that's changed, but its clear in this video they upped the base speed/decreased the sprint max speed since the Beta

There is never a week where Jem doesn't use this GIF.

I agree that the feel of Halo 4 is smooth. I think it benefits the most from the 60fps boost. Halo 5 felt amazing. I really miss it.

jem is all too familiar with bad opinions

It's like a meme in HaloGaf lol.

i like your opinions Jem.

also, gotta say, this looks like B-Roll footage. Surely we can get a 60fps link for this post-Beta arena goodness

I don't believe that Wesley and jumperz are real people. They have to be AI constructs programmed by the ghost of Corrine Yu at 343.

Jumperz is for sure. Dude uses the ignore feature to mmmmm block out the haters

I personally believe they are two personalities of the same person.

 

[Glass]

Talking of gunplay, I didn't get to use 5's light rifle much but really appreciated how it's been tweaked to be its own thing a bit more.

And I pretty much always went BR over DMR because the laters scope made my aiming feel clostrophobic or something, but I'm ready to go back after its sexy new look.

 

[nillapuddin]

What if the war zone bosses had a red health bar and a blue health bar?

I know it will be awesome everytime you get that last kill shot and take points from the enemy team. But I think being on the other side of that coin will be so frustrating.

I understand this is a MOBAy thing, I'm wondering if other games have tried that

I have nothing to do with him..

I'm fairly optimistic about H5 nowadays, MP looks to be solid with the changes they made. I was willing to try ADS until I tried the sniper in the beta and saw how they ruined that. Other than that, I'm excited.

Let's hope they've retained the scale of battles and levels in the Bungie games, that was my biggest gripe with 4.


On the other hand, I played some H2 classic today in MCC and I could hear the other team's voice chat.

Yup, I'm optimistic for the game. I think it could deliver.

But that DF thread on gaming side. #Disgusting

Gross

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I think they specifically mentioned making the sniper less clunky/zoom more snappy from where it was in the beta. You can see in the video I linked earlier, it functions a lot more like the old Halos, an instant zoom in, no physical animation on screen disrupting the view.

halo 3 did everything bad except for letting me ride a mongoose off of a ramp and onto a scarab

I saw, but the fact that no one noticed it and corrected it before the community complained about it bothers me.
