Support NeoGAF

[Masterz117]

...for nothing? I dont think the major issue was just the ADS. What about all the other shit that they threw into Halo 4 that is also in this one? Are we just going to ignore that now and sit on a high horse?

Perks, loadouts, and AA's were confirmed to be out, right? How can those exist in an Arena shooter?

The only glaring issue I see atm is sprint, which no one should have expected them to take out so quickly.

The main shitstorm was over ADS, and at the moment it just seems to be aesthetic. Let's wait and see.

 

[Naughty_Doge]

Good to see everything is right in the world again.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

26 pages of pointless bickering and raging.

Absolutely not. Did we just see a guy sprint with a pistol and then fucking thrust around like in AW? This huge thread is justified.

[ArchedThunder]

So...do we feel silly?

If it really is just the new look for scoping and it functions exactly the same then I can gladly say I feel silly for my reaction to the first video.

Too early to say crisis averted, but I'm a tit more relieved right now...

 

[Twilight Gap]

To be fair, all this concern is warranted because this subject has been doing the rounds for freaking years.

Sprint is still in there afterall, although if the rumors that your shields wont recharge when sprinting are true, maybe it'll work.

Maybe.

 

[Compsiox]

Bit of an overreaction. Still doesn't confirm descope is in with that tweet :/

Also sprint still ruins halo.

Sprint isn't needed. Just bring up walk speed. Am I right?

 

[too much eslim]

So, what about all the other crap that bogs down MP?

Ordnance drops, perks, loadouts, etc. Is that all still in or what? Did Halo 4 support classic modes? Why wasn't it more popular if it did?

None of that is in Halo 5.

 

[LycanXIII]

Halo died and rose from the grave in like two hours that's way better than Jesus

I wouldn't say it's risen yet...

 

[NullPointer]

Bit of an overreaction. Still doesn't confirm descope is in with that tweet :/

But does confirm there's no flinch, so...

 

[Jonneh3003]

I literally said "no no no no" throughout the entirety of that clip..

 

[DopeyFish]

Absolutely not. Did we just see a guy sprint with a pistol and then fucking thrust around like in AW? This huge thread is justified.

yeah people are just trying to make the other issues don't exist when one issue was semi-resolved

Frankie retweets.

[ultron87]

But you still lose a functional button on your gamepad to a redundant mechanic, which Halo can't afford to lose right now unless you lose melee to the right stick or something.

Not sure why people are already celebrating, we clearly still don't have the full picture.

What button are we losing? There's always been a zoom button in Halo.

 

[Vire]

im still so angry though

Haha I love corgis.

 

[TheRed]

My big problem wasn't with ADS, it's still with sprint.

I'm still pissed.

Yeah this is still hugely disappointing. I hoped after Halo 4 multi died so fast they would get try getting rid of sprint. Now all I expect is maps not to be as tightly designed because they're stretched out to make room for sprinting .

 

[Anon67]

Knew it, nothing to worry about here. Can't wait to play the beta!

 

[Ryaaan14]

I wouldn't say it's risen yet...

Mostly making fun of the reactions ITT.

 

[BouncyFrag]

 

[Endoplasmatisch]

We don't get to play the beta tomorrow right? It's just the reveal?

People who are at the HaloFest can Play Halo 5 next week. All others can Play The beta in december.

[Ermac]

What's flinch?

 

[logikk]

So, I'm a big Halo fan and I don't think sprint ruins Halo at all. Is that bad??

Why would being able to sprint ruin something entirely?? I can sprint in real life, and that isn't terrible.

 

[TheOddOne]

Maybe.

I would love to see sprint go, but if it is one of the lesser evils; then let it be.

How are you losing a button? It could still be mapped to the same button as scoping in... I'm actually ashamed to say I've forgotten if it's L3 or R3!!!!

 

[viveks86]

im still so angry though

LOL! At least I'm still getting good GIFs to reuse...

 

[Marvel]

Renting is still a thing? Where would one even do that?

Spoiler

US thing?

What you would call Redbox we have here in the UK, Boomerangrentals for online rental of games.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

Seriously


Removing sprint makes Halo 500% better.


343 made a poll where 80% of the users said that Halo is better without sprint.


And there is still sprint.

They just don't understand.

Oh okay thanks

the only thing i can think of is if they put it on the same input as scope

but then how would that even help CoD players who are used to using the ads with triggers?

 

[Eoin]

Why does the game include a shitty ADS animation then? It just looks bad and hinders your view when scoped.

yooooooooooooooo

HYPE

 

[Pappasman]

I saw those tweets, and that's good news. But sprint is still in and ADS (at least cosmetically) is still in. I really hope there is an option for the old style zoom. I don't want ADS taking up half of the fucking screen when playing. Also Sprint is still in.

Sprint.

Sprint.


pls remove.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

ITT: People jumping to conclusions while only knowing 10% of the story.

Plenty said it was fine if it was just cosmetic, a lot of people also guessed that.

 

[Detective]

Ok, so why not denying ADS than?

Just like no KS and AA right?

 

[VeeP]

To be fair, all this concern is warranted because this subject has been doing the rounds for freaking years.

Concern? What concern? Halo is stagnant. Gameplay is dated. It needs to evolve. 343i you need to add wall running next. Maybe we can give Chief a Exosuit to go on top of his MJOLNIR Armor.

 

[AuthenticM]

What's flinch?

I was going to ask. I think it's descoping when you're hit by fire ?

 

[Dreadnought]

What the hell was that energy sword.

 

[Miles X]

I'd be a little worried if you didn't feel at least a bit silly. Amirox for example was going nuclear.

No fucking surprise there, guy always goes OTT!

Good to hear 343 are listening to the community though.

Reason a beta awaits us and so does tomorrow's reveal.

 

[Latvian Hitman]

"No penalty to hip fire in H5"

Why have ADS then at all? Like, why? If it is purely cosmetic.

I'm thinking it's not ADS. It's the same click-to-scope mechanic from before, except now you see your weapon and sight on screen when you do it.

 

[Masterz117]

tbh if they kept sprint only in btb I'd be satisfied. Seems wasteful to remove the feature after making all the animations and such. Just up the base movement speed.

 

[jailbird20022]

"No penalty to hip fire in H5"

Why have ADS then at all? Like, why? If it is purely cosmetic.

Just have to assume weapons like the BR have CQC sights now and differ sights and scopes have different effects. Just a thought atleast because if descope returns it'd re stupid to use a CQC sight or ironsight and get thrown back into "hipfire" mode after being shot at. So I assume they provide some buff that (hopefully) isn't linked to spread/accuracy

 

[Compsiox]

It looks like it functions like old zooming

 

[Byron Bluth]

Halo always was the last bastion of twitch FPS for me like Quake and Unreal Tournament, no ADS and just fast paced action.

I just want that to continue.

 

[Hatchtag]

Leak ADS and sprint. Watch as shitstorm ensues. Then leak that ADS is purely cosmetic. Suddenly everyone thinks everything is okay and forgets about the awfulness that is sprint. 343's played you like a god damn fiddle.

 

[TimeEffect]

None of that is in Halo 5.

...Really?

For real? It's all dropped?

Are there like, weapon attachments and stuff? No loadouts!??

I did not know all this.

 

[Head.spawn]

So, basically...

...

Except those new clips Vinftw posted, those look fucking awesome.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

What's flinch?

In Halo 1-Reach, when you got shot, you were forced out of your scope. In Halo 4, flinch was added, which means when you were scoped in, you stayed in scope even if you were shot. It basically made it so the skill of shooting a weapon in Halo was significantly decreased.

 

[VeeP]

I was going to ask. I think it's descoping when you're hit by fire ?

Flinch is from Halo 4. It's when someone shoots you and your scope gets shaken, the character "flinches." Descope was in previous Halo's before Halo 4 I believe.
