"Wake Me When You Need Me" - The Official Halo Thread [NEW PATCH JUST DROPPED]

[The G.O.D II]

The fukk you guys talking about? Halo didnt have to change its core gameplay, it was top dog. When they started fukking with shyt, that's when players left.

They changed the core gameplay in H4 and the population cratered faster than any other Halo. Same shyt will happen to H5. They are catering to fans who are loyal to a yearly franchise. Halo's lane was that it was different; the more it mimics other shooters it loses its appeal.



Honeymoon phase


Halo 4 got great reviews, and is at 87 on Metacritic. We all saw how that turned out



The fact that you endorse ADS and announcing power weapons says it all. Protecting noobs ruins games. Even on top of that. that's why the automatics are so overpowered now.

nikka please. Who cares about reviews and metacritc. Everyone trashed Halo 4 when it came out. Same with GTA IV. It got universal acclaim and ppl were like within a week. This game is better then H4 if they don't add the COD shyt. Like I said the game has changed. Its not even that big a deal. The sprint isn't OP. The "ADS" is just a glorified zoom. The mechanics is really the same like the past where its only used for long distance, accuracy/damage drops significantly, and if you get hit you automatically return to normal vies. This is still at its core a hip fire shooter. I love when ppl complain about noobs and how games cater to them. If you are an elite gamer, you should have an even bigger advantage if the game is dumbed down(which is not the case here) right?

Just like all the previous halo, default setting is just terrible. but with some MLG intervention will fix some that. But with that said, the new AR and Magnum start is better than all previous Halo default starting weapon. Now you actually have chance at spawn.

I really like the new direction Halo is going, i just wish it didn't copy so much from COD.
death cam
no friendly fire
ADS/Iron Sight

Thrust and climbing are great IMO. and I don't really mind sprint as of now. I never played Halo 4 or Reach enough to have an opinion on sprint. With any competitive game, you can't have an opinion on it until you played at a high level against other great players who understand and exploit any flaws that the games has. When you're playing at that high level, you have a full understanding of the core mechanics of the game to speak intelligently on it. So @PS4 and @MeachTheMonster I don't mind sprint now but who's know sometime later I might hate it but I don't see how the developer could evolve the game without it. I much rather sprint than shield, jet pack, hologram, etc. As much as I love Halo CE - H3, it's finally time for halo to evolve.



Things I would like to see.
Celebrations endgame
Instantnades Increase the fuse and make it not explode in midair ala Halo CE's nades. Nading up a ramp = OP and easy. I've been saying this since Halo 2 1.1
Melee lunges get rid of it and make it like Halo CE
Speed - Increase the movement speed. I don't know if its because of sprint but i feel you strafe way too slow.
Ground pound and Spartan can stay. I haven't seen them being used very effective.

From 343's update:

Week 2: Slayer (BR Starts) and Breakout (SMG Starts):

Slayer: As players begin week two of the Beta, they will now get to play Slayer on two remix maps, Regret and Eden. Both of these maps feature similar themes from the previous maps (Truth and Empire) but have new geometry, weapons and strategies. Josh Holmes announced that players will be able to vote on one of two weapons that will appear as a Power Weapon on Regret.


Breakout: Breakout is Halo 5’s new round-based Slayer gametype. Each player has one life each round and the first team to eliminate all enemy players wins the round. The first team to take five rounds wins the match. This gametype features SMG starts with ‘heightened lethality’, meaning all kill times are slightly faster than standard modes. Two maps will be featured in this playlist: Crossfire and Trench, both designed from the ground up for the Breakout gametype.

That's cute, but not even the makers of the games are as good as the people you are saying should have the final say
This is what I say on it. Whoever makes the game, they win. You just enjoy the game and shut the fukk up
The people who call themselves "elite highest level players" are actually the people with the most time on their hands
Who would pass on having a night out on the town with some bytches to improve his rank on a videogame

That way, that person can then go online and feel like his opinion matters more because his life depends on it more
Creating this false reality that his opinion really does matter more.

Oh, enjoy the rest of your 2015 champ :spin:

The core of COD has changed. Hell the core of halo has changed going from 1 to 3.

Halo 5 feels like a natural progression for the series. It definitely feels and plays more like halo than anything else.

No the fukk it hasn't. The first 3 halo games were all about the golden triangle of shoot, melee and grenades. Halo Reach introduced armor abilities, then halo 4 took that further with more abilities and perks, then halo 5 introduced more shyt to the series. I get highly annoyed when ppl who lack the knowledge about the halo series as a whole speak on it.

imma start neggin all supporters of sprint btw.

The fukk you guys talking about? Halo didnt have to change its core gameplay, it was top dog. When they started fukking with shyt, that's when players left.

Facts only. These dudes seem to forget it was over 300,000 players on average playing Halo years after it was released and it was always in the top 3 played games on every months xbl activity chart. Then Reach came and changed the core gameplay and players left, then Halo 4 came out and changed the core gameplay even more and a lot more players left. It was about 20,000 thousand ppl playing halo 4 a year after release. Halo 3 had 300,000 players playing in 2010, 3 years after it came out.

none of you muthafukkas are true halo fans on here, except for a few cats. Yall are fans of shooters, not halo, so yall don't really give a fukk about the core game or halo playing like halo. Yall play the fukk outta COD and Battlefield then hop on Halo from time to time and not mind if sprint, ADS and all the other features from those games are in Halo, while the real halo fans are complaining about these features because we don't want to play fukking COD or Battlefield when we hop on halo.

How many of you muthafukkas on here that are fans of sprint, ADS and perks in halo played Reach for a year? what about halo 4? yea i thought so...

Hilarious. I see nikkas on other message boards claiming they are "real fans" of Halo and played Halo CE/2/3 for XX-XXX amount of hours saying they want such and such features to stay. The halo community is so damn divisive. Y'all remind me Super Smash Bros Melee purists. No matter how convincing or compelling y'all points are, ya'll are at the mercy of the devs. They seem to make games nowadays for casuals first and longtime fans second. They want to reel ln players who only gonna be around for the first few months if even that.


Me personally?? I want ADS, Sprint, Perks, loadouts, killstreaks, 64 players and destructive environments .

what neogaf? them nikkas got a big ass thread on there dedicated to the retarded logic one of 343's members posted about having sprint in the game on the halo forum I post on. The majority of true halo fans want a halo game, not this hybrid of COD, Battlefield and Titanfall.

Yeah that thread. I'm reading the shyt and i see nikkas on both sides of the spectrum voicing their opinions. The side of "ADS and sprint is fine" can at times make sense; it's just that it makes sense in the context of talking about a regular run of the mill fps game. I'd be surprised if 343 removes sprint altogether. I can see them tweaking ADS though.

they aren't removing sprint. There has been some back n forth between prominent members in the competitive community and the developers on twitter. These clowns are delusional and dead set on making the halo game they want, fukk what the fans want.

I can live with the other features in the game, but sprint...nope, it literally makes everything worst. Thrust is a good mechanic by itself, it makes 1v1 encounters more interesting and skillful, but with sprint, you can go flying across the map with thruster. Clamber is cool, I do wish we only had crouch jumping to fall back on for skill jumps but this new mechanic isnt a game breaker, btu combined with sprint players can zip around the map flying from base to base, ledge to ledge, wall to wall with fukking ease.

sprint is a fukkin cancer to this series.

these are 3 polls from 3 different communties in halo. The reddit and Waypoint are the social/casual players and the teambeyond is filled with competitive players. Neither community wants sprint. Waypoint is also 343's website, their own groupies don't want sprint.

This is a post made on teambeyond directed towards one of 343's employees views on keeping sprint in the franchise

I know exactly what you talking about. It's frustrating seeing people with probably 30 cumulative hours in Halo games period expound on why killstreaks should be in Halo .

Uncharted 2 to 3 MP went through something similar.

UC2 had no sprint, no loadouts, perks(that barely made a difference since it was only a few), and mainly symmetrical maps.
A few months down the line these nikkas patch the game decreasing the TTK overall with most weapons and left it at that .

UC3 comes out and these nikkas got sprint on deck, upgradeable perks, killstreaks, maps that are fukking huge and some with dumb ass set pieces in the beginning, noob blind fire and loadouts with unbalanced weapons. To rub salt on the wound they put this sorry ass "Hardcore" mode that pretty much doesn't really do shyt since the game was designed around all the dumb shyt.

Needless to say I was pretty damn angry.

Halo MCC is the best thing Halo fans got and they fukk it up at launch.

If they don't actually make said changes to the game then they are just being fukking obtuse. I mean... shyt it's right there .

Developer forums for games are hilarious . Dudes are ruthless and don't hold back.

Dude starts off like "Look man... Your logic is ass backwards"
