Man I really want them to figure out a way to make the Falcon work. Even on Warzone-sized maps it feels a bit superfluous, if not OP anymore.
I would actually really like this. It could even work in open world single player context. Hard to imagine and open world game without sprint, but if there are mongooses available and the BMS is increased enough it could work well.
In an open-world context, you'd need to have the world designed such that you always have a mongoose (or warthog or whatever) nearby to travel between the big points of interest, and you'd need to make sure that those points are themselves pretty dense - a big part of the appeal there seems to me to be about the speed increase from sprint more than the actual speed, so you'd need to make sure the player isn't going "man I wish I could move just a little bit faster to get through this open piece of nothing." Could be done, I think.
Echo 419 is back and better than ever!
Halo 5 BR is the best thing about the playlist. Wish they could fix the Halo 3 BR in MCC and widen the field of view. I think it would do a lot to make it more palatable for me. On a semi-related note, the Halo CE throwback playlist with sprint and thrusters is fun and fast as hell.
The treatment of the characters in and around Halo 4 would make Geroge Lucas the new Shakespeare in comparison.
I've played Halo.. 3 with a wider field of view last night, ultrawide no less. It did not feel faster. Im also not a fan of how the BR feels, I remember feeling the same way in Halo 3's Hay day. Halo 3 is a lot of fun, but I agree that it's flawed. Halo 5 just felt right in comparison even though I'm not a fan of SA's
It's right in the title:

O really, i didnt read this until today:
ESCALATION
After his battle with the Master Chief during the New Phoenix Incident, the Didact fell into a slipspace rift generated by his flagship, Mantle's Approach, was transported Installation 03 (Gamma Halo). Shortly after his arrival on the ring, he encountered Spartan Black Team, who was conducting classified reconnaissance operations on the Halo. Caught unprepared, the team was no match for the Didact, and all four Spartans were killed in the engagement. Soon after, the Didact was approached by 859 Static Carillon, monitor of the Composer's Forge. 859 had come to Installation 03 to investigate the activation of a service portal connecting the Halo to the Composer's Forge. Eventually, the Didact bargained with the monitor to gain access to the Composer's Forge so that he might assemble the Composers held there to strike back against humanity. Once again, the Didact was stopped by the Master Chief. However, this time the Master Chief found himself reunited with his fellow members of Blue Team, Spartan-II's Fred-104, Kelly-087, and Linda-058. Though their battle with the Didact was perilous and proved nearly fatal, the Spartans were able to band together, and with the help of 859 Static Carillion they tricked the Didact into using the Composers on himself. Effectively turned into a digital essence, the Office of Naval Intelligence currently considers the Didact "contained", though it remains to be seen if his threat to humanity is truly at an end.
i know this is all known knowledge for people who read the comics/etc. But for me, having this on the website as general knowledge .... kinda funny lol.
After playing halo 4 mainline without other knowledge of comics/stories i would think the didact was dead. now if he just comes back ... as a digital essense aka AI? what in the F.. lol
like Buck becoming a spartan and Mickey becoming a terrorist. who wants to play that game when we can just make a book about it.
Let's be honest, the Halo 3 ending was full of holes and even Cortana say's the Ark was at most damaged. Halo 3 was simply full of bad writing.
