Halo 5: Guardians |OT3| Ball Dropped
- Thread starter BraXzy
- Start date
some teach an old dog new tricks questions for y'all:
1) whats the best way to move around quickly? watching a lot more pro players, i see them slide thrusting or slide thrust jumping and moving significantly faster with further jumps then i can. i dont think this is the trick with slopes either (but may be wrong).
2) finally turned auto-stabalize on and it seems really finicky. sometimes it just wont engage at all, especially if i'm sprinting. help?
3) trick crouch jump with stabalizers - how to? saw ninja jump up to the top mid ramp on regret from bottom throughout his matches, i got it to work once out of several dozen tries. can someone walk me through it? seems like it should be easy enough.

What part of Destiny did they speed run? A raid?
They were doing strike speed runs and it was actually entertaining lol. A bunch of teams competed.

1) The most basic move would be slide-jump-boost, great way to get over dangerous door ways and surprise across corners.
2) To be fair, auto stabilize on is a must for trick jumps and making jumping pokes much easier, just get use to it.
3) The easiest way to practice this is jumping over to the top level in the plaza area on Plaza, spring, jump, aim high then ADS to stabilize, then hold/spam crouch and jump/clamber, on bumper jumper the button sequence would be LB - (aim high) RS - spam LB+LS.
Btw, i added you recently and you aren't online at all.
I don't play games I just talk about them. This is NeoGAF after all
Can confirm, insanity required for any sensitivity above 6.
Thanks! It took.. Way longer than expected. You know when you start something and halfway through you realise you bit off too much but can't turn back? GG me.
The slide boost is really important but there's a very specific way to do it which gives the best results.
You need to be a max sprint speed and thrust, whilst mid thrust hold crouch and when the thrust animation finishes you'll go into a boost slide. If you tap jump mid slide you'll also get a boost jump. For this to work you need Maintain Sprint set to off and Toggle Crouch needs to be off.
Ramp boosting requires you do the above but thrust over the edge of a lip, it's quite timing sensitive and can be a bit of a pain to pull off though.
You don't need auto stabilize on, you can manage with it off just fine if you get used hitting sprint as soon as you scope in air. I don't bother with it and manage just fine with trick jumps. One important aspect of stabilizer jumps is that rapidly crouching will maintain your height for far longer, it's necessary for a lot of jumps. Basically just jump, stabilize and spam crouch and clamber.
HaloGAF happened. lol

I agree. It's fun until you get trapped. There needs to be more routes Imo. You also get funneled too much so it's a lot easier for the opposing team to lock that map down and go for the core than it is for the others.

I hope ya'll are assassinating as much as possible. We've got like 1700+ to go before we cap LVL 3

You should stabilize the moment you ADS in the air if you have the auto on.

desperate times calls for desperate measures.
if you dont get one assassination per game, you're off the team.
Mods are safe.
I do it as much as possible. Risky, but satisfying.
I play with Assassinations off. They waste time and are a dumb gimmick.

I've been trying to get some to see what my new assassination looks like but I always fail
Edit: I haven't gotten a single Warzone pack since the beginning of the year. This is starting to piss me off

Worse than anti
type
I don't have any assassination unlocked anyway so I just disable it.

1v1 Rockets on Chiron, meet me somewhere
The basic one is a pretty cool judo throw.
1v1 CTF me on Boneyard Halo Reach.

1v1 Octagon Slayer me in Halo 3. First to a Killionaire wins.
Does this require assassination animations to be turned on, cause I keep them off for competitive reasons...
The days of only power weapons and BRs getting all the love are behind us..
I'd do that. I used to play that the whole day. haha
Warzone Assault is really easy to win with an organized team, especially as attackers. Just capture the 2 bases and when you attack the Core spawn like 4 Ghosts and stomp them.

Haha, I know. It was so fun. Is there a similar variant in Halo 5?
And I couldn't be happier. Every weapon has its place.

The Pro's even used the

If you want to win Warzone Assault as the attacking team, respawn right after you capture the second base with a Fuel Rod Cannon and Speed Boost. You can knock off at least 50% easily in 5 shots. Worked for me in every match I've been able to try it in so far (2 out of 2 yesterday).

I hated it at first, but realized I was just using it wrong. It's a great weapon. Extremely useful on the Rig when trying to wipe out everyone in Engine 1 and 2.The Pro's even used thePlasma Caster
Ricky Ricardo

LOLyes.
I'm not saying get careless and die trying, but you should definitely get careless and die trying to assassinate everyone.

Yeah, it shoots like half sized plasma gernades that have one bounce included. specially when you charge them, if one sticks on a spartan they die. It's a high risk/reward type of weapon i think.
i like to use it, but it's very situational. To run around with it as a main can get you killed instantly.
Makes me with we had those Spike Brute Nades that stick then blow up in one direction. So good for people chasing you or hiding around the corner.
