I will wait until they remove Sprint before purchasing this game.

i guess you aint purchasing

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

I think you'll find that's just about every thread.

 

[-tetsuo-]

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

That is what he does

I will wait until they remove Sprint before purchasing this game.

Good luck with that

 

[Anon67]

Zoom button used to be on the stick, which if made to appeal to ADS gamers is now on a trigger. Which is why I mentioned melee would likely find itself on the right stick now for there to be enough buttons.

There will be different controller layouts. Nothing to worry about dude.

 

[OdysseusVA]

People saying crisis averted? Wut

ADS exists
Sprint exists

I'm just waiting for the kill streak rewards and perks announcement

 

[Vire]

So you have nothing to worry about now?

Well as of right now, I'm okay. But 343 has shown their continual ability fuck things up with other things. I can't wait to hear about the kill streaks, perks, return of the Mantis and SAW.

I still would greatly prefer if they just upped the movement speed and got rid of Sprint entirely.

Run and gun not run or gun 343...

 

[Sai-kun]

Because there are people who like it? Also don't get your last point, how is it hindering your view? I assume that animation we saw for the aiming down sight IS the new scoping in on the BR, how is it more of a hindrance than before, you can actually see around the scope now...

I think BR has that more of a red dot scope, and DMR is gonna take the classic long distance scope, that way there is more balance so one is more long range and the other more close (DMR and BR respectively ofc).

Look at how the gun seriously takes up like 1/6 of the screen space.

And how this is perfect:

OT: what does mod power abuse mean when edited in at the top of the thread

guys don't forget about the stairs

 

[too much eslim]

Confirmed? I'm fine with sprint, Reach was my favorite Halo after all, but all the other shit they added in Halo 4 just made the game... Well, shit

Been confirmed multiple times.

 

[Alucrid]

Yet again some one has completely missed the point, that ADS the person mentions in the image IS NOT THE SAME ADS as in the Halo clips. Stop comparing them as if they are the same, there is no movements decrease etc... when scoping in if you look at the clips again.

he's talking solely about the image. see how the gun takes up 1/6 of the screen?

 

[DSN2K]

I'm massively confused on peoples hate for sprint !?!?!

 

[TheOddOne]

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.

By all the nanomachines. There is your narrative justification.

 

[ShogunX]

Looks like 343 are giving player the option of sticking with the traditional hip fire or giving people the choice of ADS if they want to. More options are always good and in this online COD dominated world giving people something they are so familiar with already can surely only help bring more people over to the series.

The fear was penalising those player who wanted to fire from the hip and according to that one tweet it isn't the case.

Guess so.

 

[Seventy70]

So, I guess now that everyone is acting like everything is ok, 343 is never going to fix sprint.

 

[Zeyphersan]

This was a quicker "the world is ending" freak out followed by a repent than the Ubisoft games getting removed from Steam thread

 

[Garrett 2U]

That tweet by Josh kinda calms a bit of my worries.
And the gameplay looks pretty decent.
I guess we'll see

 

[Maintenance]

Good news.

 

[NullPointer]

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.

Sprint isn't awful though, and again, its uses come with drawbacks which can be taken advantage of by other players. You sacrifice the ability to shoot and accept an additional windup to get back into firing position in order to pay for a boost in speed. It adds an interesting choice to combat.

I don't know where people got the idea that sprinting might not allow for your shields to regen, but that sounds pretty neat if true.

I don't see a problem with it.

 

[AuthenticM]

Flinch is when you're being shot while aiming down sights/scope and it makes your aiming reticule bounce around, making it harder to aim and shoot effectively, but still allowing you to zoom/aim.

Descoping means that when you're shot while aiming down sights/scope, you are knocked out of scope entirely, returning you to hipfire position.

Halo 1 thru Reach used descoping, H4 used flinch.

Ok. Yeah, they need to get rid of flinch and go back to descoping.

 

[ZROCOOL]

So.. It's like AW, but with dedicated servers?

 

[Compsiox]

[Endoplasmatisch]

I don't buy this. If it really was just a cosmetic change than it wouldn't be considered a focale point during development.

Who said that This was a focal Point during development? Frankie? Or who?

I didn't miss the point. I know what was said. I was speaking purely cosmetically. ADS takes up a ton of space on screen and the old style gave the player a pure view of the action. ADS is bad design, even if it doesn't effect movement speed.

 

[RowdyReverb]

I'm massively confused on peoples hate for sprint !?!?!

People hated Halo: Reach and 4 for making the series less like traditional Halo, and sprint was one of the major reasons for that.

 

[Sai-kun]

I don't see a problem with it.

and i'm literally at a loss as to how to respond to you if you honestly don't see why having 1/6 of your screen space taken up by a gun is worse than not having that gun there

 

[Poodlestrike]

So.. It's like AW, but with dedicated servers?

Nope, thank god.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Well I jumped the gun

I admit it


The tweet calms me down a bit

 

[Eoin]

Don't use it. Gun will work the same without.

But I want to zoom in with my BR/snipe, I just don't want a shitty redundant pull gun up to my eye animation and have have my screen taken up by a weapon model.

 

[logikk]

So why is sprint so terrible again? Also, I think it is a good thing when there is a slight downside to zooming in.

It is preferable to have more accuracy in zoom with zero downside at all?? I think having the gun take up some screen space so that you can have more accuracy is a good thing. Maybe I'm in the minority on this it seems though.

 

[shacklesmcgee]

and i'm literally at a loss as to how to respond to you if you honestly don't see why having 1/6 of your screen space taken up by a gun is worse than not having that gun there

or is it a play on words? "I don't see a problem"

 

[Justrekt]

Spartans never needed to physically look down a scope, their helmets zoomed in for them.

I am not a clever boy...

In my opinion, sprint has tended to make characters move at the speed that they really should move by default. Spartans are fast as shit, and traversing maps while running quick is a great feeling. So lowering the default movement speed to make Sprint a 'perk' is pretty lame and makes movement a lot less fun.

I think you are in the minority in regards to having a visible gun on the screen. It doesn't add anything in second-to-second gameplay aside from taking up space.

Halo makes me sad. Only thing that would get me to get an Xbox one and they burned that bridge with halo 4. Halo 5 is sounding even worse.

 

[VE3TRO]

I don't mind sprint, playing through the Master Chief Collection the past 2 weeks has drove me insane not being able to sprint around areas.

Don't know how I feel about ADS though, don't feel that it needs it.

 

[Faith]

So the whole Halo franchise died & resurrected within 2 hours?

Sprint has always been awful in Halo. Same with the AA.

Worry not, it plays like Halo.

 

[RdN]

It's pretty well established in the Halo universe that the weapons optics are linked to the Mjolnir armor, so that Spartans don't have to aim down sights... But I guess broadening the gameplay and once again going after the COD people is more worth than cannon.

 

[Chezzymann]

I actually like sprint in halo, just not all the cod mechanics like kill streak rewards and loadouts

 

[Foxy Fox 39]

If it feels like COD/Battlefield yes it does. If you are not a fan of the series nor someone who put put countless hours in to the game you really have no say.

It doesn't. And I am a fan of the series. A critical fan. I've logged countless hours into 1 2 and 3. I've played every halo game. Around Reach is where they lost me. It was too much of the same thing. Kind of like how I felt about ... gasp ... COD.

 

[Justrekt]

Getting with the times?

Going backwards in time.

 

[Marvel]

It's NeoGAF.

Hopefully tomorrow will get more answers.

All this stuff...and the thing that bothers me the most is that it seems most guns have Bloom again


I still will wait till the beta to judge it
