Halo |OT| She's Gone, Sir

Definitely the most frustrating level to speed run. Gave it a few goes on Legendary for that achieve but it'll probably be the last one I do.
I love Mythic movement settings but holy shit please remove that BR and replace it with the Magnum
You basically just have to hide in the ship debris and pop out to target them one at a time.
The second part with the corvette was much easier if you kill all the banshees before you launch, all you have to do is avoid the AA guns on the ship.
It's definitely unnecessarily frustrating and is a case where the move to 60fps seems to have made old tactics nonviable.
At least once you get on the ship it's pretty smooth sailing.
To me it's hard to pick the worst Halo Reach level on Legendary, they're all so annoyingly aggravating to me.
Returned to Halo 5's base multiplayer for the first time in a long while and I can really appreciate how tight of a game 343i was able to design. However, I really wish they didn't feel Halo had to mimic other popular shooters so much. The game felt best when I used sprint, clamber, and chained advanced mobility the least (as well as when other players did not rely on it). The magnum feels great and weapons feel responsive. However, I will always hate how you can move and crouch to juke headshots.
I hope 343i has the courage to embrace Halo for what it is and not dip as much into the mainstream. Their resilience to jump into the Battle Royale scene gives me some hope alongside the leaps and bounds of improvement we saw from 4 to 5, and I'm itching more than ever to see what they have in store for Infinite. Mythic Slayer is such a good foundation for Halo's multiplayer and I really hope they follow through with it.

So I'm losing most fights at range. The map Foundation in Halo 2 for example, I perform horribly on (and honestly can't tell if I just hate the map or if it's just bad). Halo CE, Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 3, Halo 4, and Halo 5 I am having virtually no issues with, some of it is just getting back into the rhythm, remembering map control, and things like that, but it's like I can't live in Halo 2 for more than 2 seconds at a time and I can't hit shots that everyone else seems to be hitting.
343i just added crouch strafing in Halo Reach for M&KB players in the most recent flight. It just feels bad not having the ability to crouch when moving at full speed. Best you can hope for is that Infinite will have Halo 2/3 levels of bullet magnetism which would make crouching less useful. Reach, 4 and 5 require you to aim with the smaller inner reticle to score headshots which makes crouching viable at close range. Add awkwardness of close range aiming in H5 to that and it's understandable why frustrations arise. Movement speed is also the fastest in Halo 5 + crouch doesn't slow you as much as in previous Halo games.
Looks like it's Nerf or nothing boys

Finally, Nerf has three blasters on the way based on the weapons from the Halo series.

I was really hoping their SPNKr was gonna be a shoulder-held rocket like this:
I'm excited for the nerf stuff but I'll say the BOOMCo ones seemed to nail the look more
I wish they didn't do all of these toy lines because it has a direct effect on the games and leads to things like Halo 5 having a T rating and a lack of blood. I want Infinite to have blood again, I want it to feel more like CE and old school shooters.
I don't think the external licensing really has that much effect on the games. Every Halo game has had licensed toys, even Halo CE. I think it was more of a choice from the higher ups to help broaden the Halo audience. When your game is rated T, it's going to sell better because you'll have those parents that don't want to buy an M rated game for their 13 year old, let alone younger kids.
All of that aside, I'd love nothing more than for the blood and grittier feel to come back.
Probably too much logistical work but it would be cool if there were two compatible SKU's for the game.
One is Teen. One is M. Voice lines, violence graphics are different etc. Maybe deleted scenes in the T.
So the Halo Infinite AR is a MA40. Interesting...
Also the Nerf AR comes with a code to get the skin in Infinite.

dont they change the model number for the AR pretty regularly iirc?
perhaps its a new Spartan Branch model.
I remember reading that Halo's T rating wasn't intentional, just a shift in the boards tolerance towards violence.
There really isn't much difference between Halo 4 and Halo 5 in terms of mature content... iirc the composer scene is what pushed H4 over the edge.
Infinite will be November because they release consoles in November.
I don't really see much that the cartoony blood in CE or 2 added, honestly. Fun to beat your allies like piñatas, not much else.
We've had the MA5B, C, and D for 1-4/5 and the 37 for Reach.
What we thinking, limited to older tech due to the fuckery? Good way to introduce new weapons in a more classic style.
People have whipped themselves up to a frenzy arguing just that, but there's limited evidence. We'll see.
Personally I'd find it an interesting story beat but it'd feel like a cheat if that was just used to wipe away the history 343 has built on.
The naming in any case suggests more than the MA40 is the Army variant of the MA5C/D postwar (like the 37 was to the MA5B). So it might be a current weapon, just new to players.
Oh no, something more akin to Halo 3 is more or less what I'm thinking. I don't think it's required at all, but just something that could easily come back and even have a switch for like a lot of modern games have.
See, my thought was that it was an army variant and that it was accurate to whatever year that Pelican was last actually used, not just floating in space. I guess we'll see!
The blood sprays are a core part of CE's juicy aesthetic, and pair perfectly with things like the melee sounds. The effect of a room decaling purple and black following a bunch of explosions is a beautiful match for CE's lighting and materials, too.
I'm surprised to see Halo 2 mentioned in the same context, because it dials the blood effects down considerably. Its overall look and feel is much more along the lines of action figures on a model battlefield, and the same is true of Halo 3. In line with that, Halo 2's combat vibes are more dry and clacky.
BR worsens that playlist.
Halo could use more blood, but it needs more humor too.
It's part of a greater design where it's a playful sandbox. That small detail added to it.
Think about the rag dolls too, they fly everywhere and blood sprays all over the environment. It's one of the subtleties that makes CE's charm unmatched.
Are you actually surprised people are still lumping CE in with other games? Halo 1 and 2 are different on so many levels, but when talking about "classic Halo" they are apparently the same game lol.
Yeah the company is relatively new but its got the leadership. Interested to see how it goes.
Audio is still WIP
Mouse is fine with over 60FPS, the issue is the camera is unlocked and everything else is locked to 60 which causes the jitter. Aiming is fine though.
I would've thought they'd be in the works withthis all, hence the partnership lol. But I guess Forge makes sense for later... really hope it's a much better tool for map makers because while I enjoyed the mythic playlist those maps were pretty bad looking after playing modern games... even old Halo.
Well considering we haven't even seen gameplay for Infinite yet it doesn't seem that late.
I hope this doesn't point to esports using forge maps again. If you're holding a multimillion dollar tournament having forge being presented on the stage is not AAA standard. It's great for the cartographers/community to build custom maps and alter things but it needs to feed into official designers/developers to return a AAA end product.
Came here looking for same info. Appreciate it. WIP applies to the Xbox version as well? Or has that been deployed?
Im hoping it means using forge to experiment with weapon and powerup placements, ammo counts etc. Also to experiment with fixes to undesirable map dynamics and suggestions from the community.
