Nintendo can waggle my nunchuck if they want my Link to roll.. Screw that noise.
Speaking of Zelda, Halo needs its bow and boomerang:
And speaking of Turok, Halo needs its Cerebral Bore.
This weapon would fit right in with Halo's aim assist.
I bought the DLC season pass when the game launched, and there are still DLC maps I've never played. Probably because I don't play the game anymore.

Sprint is unnecessary.
On the small maps you can get around quick enough without it.
On the big maps you use vehicles, Teleporters, mancannons.
You just don't need it.

Big maps are coming too.
I understand that, but we had 3 Halo games with no sprint that also had big maps. It worked before, it can work again.
I know sprint is a big debate but I think I'm on the side against it. It was really bad in Reach, slightly improved in Halo 4 but still a problem.
Yes, less maps please!
20 crappy maps with Forerunner ships in the background and SPACE LORE or 10 good tight maps.

He also had to expand the metal panties to accommodate "lil Rhodey".
RE: Halo, safe bet that sprint is staying. Hopefully it's a toggle that can be turned off this time.

More or less.

Well sometimes you spawn in the very back of a BTB map when the fighting is at the opposite end and all the vehicles are gone.

I guess its time to swarm the map with teleports and mancannons.
That makes far more sense than giving everyone sprint.

Would be alright, but sometimes even those don't help.
It's like:
Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, mancannon!, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, shoot, die.
Spawn.
Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, mancannon!, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, shoot, die.
I agree that sprinting helps this problem, but it doesn't solve it. Even with sprint it's annoying as hell to run from one end of a BTB map to the other.

You're right Deadly, Halo's movement is too slow. We should be walking much faster by now, balanced by weapons that have faster potential kill times and take more skill to use.
Sprint though? Unnecessary if the base speed is good and there are teleporters/mancannons around the map. Halo 2&3 had a good mix, but getting to them felt too slow. Nobody's asking for Quake/UT levels of speed, but faster than what we've seen from H2A.

I think you move less using them rather than walking/running all over the place.

This has to be some kind of trick question. On one hand, lore, but on the other hand, good maps...

Yes, but what about more good maps?!20 crappy maps with Forerunner ships in the background and SPACE LORE or 10 good tight maps.

Paid DLC, 3 maps per pack, only one good map per pack.

Don't forget you're pretty much renting the availability of the maps until they DLC playlist is taken down and you never get to play on those maps again.

15 campaign maps that are decent. You get tight maps, and lore.20 crappy maps with Forerunner ships in the background and SPACE LORE or 10 good tight maps.

But seriously, if those 7 maps in the beta are the only 4v4 maps at release, I'm dissapointed. 10 small maps, 10 big maps. Everyone is happy!
Uhh, if MCC has over 100 maps... then Halo 5 should have even more. 200+ even.

So when I have a sniper and am getting shot at I can noobishly put two shots into the opponents body instead of skillfully no-scoping his ass in the face.
Yay for no gag reflex!

Those assassinations sprees were subreal

Hit markers are necessary if the game's audio visual feedback alone isn't enough to convey that you are in fact dealing damage. I don't know about you, but the audio visual feedback of Reach's shields were done so well that hit markers would have felt redundant.
Hit markers also create a problem when used with grenades. Say you're trying to flush out an enemy but you don't know where they are, so start throwing nades and you score a hit that doesn't kill. With hit markers, you now know where the enemy is and are put in the advantageous position purely by guesswork. Without hit markers, the enemy still has the element of surprise, can make a tactical retreat without being seen, or hold their ground without their position being given away.
On the other hand, hit markers are useful in an online environment where latency makes weird shit happen and audio visual feedback just isn't enough.
Never saw that before. It's pretty great. We need to have a big montage for TMCC.
Is there theatre in TMCC?
The only reason I can really think of besides change for the sake of it is to better emulate ADS without actually doing it.
You excited for the next Legend of Zelda?
I never played Turok. Heard it was terrible.
Looks good dude.Couple random doodles:
Can't wait to see them realized.
Roller skates instead of sprint. Good enough for 80's Iron Man, good enough for modern day Halo.

I got around to watching the Gamescom finals and that
was sweeeeeet.
second to last game
Is there a VOD anywhere? I was only able to see a few games.
This is still amazing, the music, the clips, damn. Good to have Halo back this fall!

I hope Halo montages become a frequent thing once MCC is out. Seems only natural given how much easier it'll be.
