That sounds pretty dope. I'll take one of those with a side of no radar.
II do like the how Spartan chatter automatically relays info that teamates should tell you, but often don't. If I see an enemy with a sword, it tells my team that I see an enemy with a sword.
id be surprised if this isnt picked up by many games moving forward. its great
in a sense halo 5 already does this stuff and perhaps you're right and this is a better fit for halo. i wouldnt mind at least the option of having my in game spartan call enemy locations and other call outs on the fly
The ping system is amazing. The sheer number of things you can convey is nuts. Need ammo or a scope? Pin your inventory. See armor you already have? Ping it for a teammate. Hell, if a teammate pings an item you need you can call dibs. All this on top of location and enemy callouts. It's a game changer.
Perhaps the best thing Halo 5 offered to the formula was the ability to ping yourself. I gladly welcome refined versions of it to convey more things to teammates.
For my fellow HCS followers: Snakebite is streaming Tox scrimming Lux. Tox doesn't stream much, so it's fun to get a look at them in their final form (Snakebite, Royal 2, Lethul, aPG) before Austin.
Literally just posted about the Apex ping system in that OT. Spoiler: it's fucking aces.
I REALLY hope 343 looks into coping it, hell not just 343, any online shooter, it's so good
I can see ping working to a degree in Halo, like with marking power weapons that have fallen or marking enemy locations. Could be a simple button press on the upper d-pad.
Yup it just makes perfect sense in okay with pinging your location for alerts so have a ping where you are standing that only indicates you see enimies but your Spartan can shout which direction from you.
Adds communication without mics
Halo 5 had a similar thing in campaign mode e.g. defend here, pick this up, attack there. It used the d-pad directions. Extending that contextually to MP for both PvE and PvP modes would be a great addition. It needs to be intelligent and automated as Respawn have implemented. Voiceover work saying the weapon type as well as the waypoint for example. It gives that instant access to make a decision I'll ignore or I'll head for it right now. As for party chat and the evolution of mics this is a very solid progression to getting teamwork back in Halo.
Sea of Thieves has a similar "non-verbal communication system" for its multiplayer and it works really well in matchmaking or parties too e.g. fire the cannons, raise the sails, drop the anchor. Respawn's execution and ping anything in the world abilities deliver simplicity and automation that are indeed game changing for FPS.

Cant wait for that 1 minute trailer featuring poncho chief and remixed One final effort, see you in 2020.
Going on this whole ping system, one thing that would also be dope, having the option to react to your medals or others. Like if someone saves me and gets a medal from it, I want to be able to thank them.
Also the system 100% gets rid of the language barrier

This is one of the best parts honestly.
In one of the my first Apex games I matched with a French guy who chatting away with me having no idea what he was in about. However, using the ping system we coordinated really well and managed to win the game.
Had a similar experience, me and my friend even added the guy to our friends list lol
I only realised you can reply to pings from your teammates last night. Super effective.
Also let us face it, players who are eating love this system. I can neither confirm or deny having a mouth full of food in our pparty last night and using just that.

More feedback without needing to focus on 5% screen estate in the bottom corner for a radar is a great plus.
Yup, also I keep on wining with randoms without talking in this, it's amazing hahaha
I've won more times in this BR than PUBG or Fortnite and I 100% attribute that to the ping system. Bring ping to Halo!
I think Ping is dope. but im also cynical and think this could be twisted by 343 into needing ADS for pingsYup, also I keep on wining with randoms without talking in this, it's amazing hahaha

Yes. See Halo 5 did pretty good with the audio design to the point where I feel like I could play without much of the HUD at all. Now If I could get rid of the radar, ADS,
sprint

Yeah Halo 5 is almost there,and 343 has the system kinda working in SP, just bring it fully over the MP with the contexual voices and there we go!
I'd also like less weapon bulk taking up the screen real estate.
Infinite could use a FOV slider. 70-110 like Apex Legends, or something at least higher than previous games which can feel too narrow.
Regarding bulky weapons blocking your view, I liked Combat Evolved's weapon positioning. It was almost centered at the bottom for things like the pistol.
You know I really should play with the FOV and see if I like anything wider. Apex would be a fresh start for that for me.
Definitely put it on 110 and watch your opinion change right before your eyes, literally.
It seems like that may have been the intention initially, but plans changed along the way.
As a lore guy one of the more interesting things from the Vice history of Halo was that it helped explain just why Bungie was so contradictory on that point—Halo 3 really didn't have a strong leadership in its direction.
No but there were ancient humans living at the same time as Forerunners. I think that was explained (in the games) in some terminal cutscenes they could only clunkily integrate into Halo 4. I don't even know if they work in MCC, I assume so, but it's been a while.
Look at this beauty
Look at this monstrosity
Again beauty
Hideous
And of course the obsession with this blue color, so frustrating.
I reallllly hope Halo Infinity's art reflects that of the original trilogy + HD remasters more.
It's not just the art style, but the diversity of the assets. Halo 4/5 have a TON of very plain mix and match looking assets, particularly with UNSC structures. It all looked nice in concept art, but didn't translate to the screen.
I wouldn't like it showing up on the screen, I think too many clear callouts would change the flow, but perhaps a small temporary ping on the radar with a audio callout could be really cool.
The trailer is promising and I really hope they deliver this time. Am cautiously hyped and optimistic. With 343 you never know.
Agreed... But CE played in splitscreen has a godly FOV.
H3 feeling slow is 100 % FoV related
I really think they should bump up the older games FoV, not to weapon clipping levels, but 80-90 usually seems fine
Absolutely. That would have been a great way to introduce update them
Arent some of them like 40-50 FOV ?
Maybe if they brought them all to the same as 5 there would feel like a bit more cohesion. Wasn't there just a post about FOV on here? or was that reddit? Either way it was informative

Halo 2's FoV in the side-by-side 2-player split is somewhere around 44. Halo 3's 4:3 FoV is about 55.
Halo 2, Reach, and I believe Halo 4 are all low-60s for the 4:3 view.
Other than that, everything is 70 and above.
Old but good

Halo 3 has always felt so slow, would be nice in particular for that get bumped
I feel like Halo 5 is pretty close to 90 based on what the motion tracker looks like with that vision cone

Halo 5's 16:9 single-player view is about 78 degrees, like Reach and 4.
I think we at least need 90 for sure. It looks and feels so much better.
