I don't particularly care about visuals and customisation but stuff like this is just... blergh.An image that has been claimed to be leaked season 1 helmets.

Images that have been claimed to be leaked season 1 helmets.
If real, it gives me hope we may be able to get legacy characters without helmets -- would be cool if they eventually introduced the ODST or Reach crew like that (and it would be cool if you could choose their voices, rather than the random goofy spartan VO's that exist now)
Classic helmets: 😁
Reach helmets: 🙂
Ugly Halo 5 bullshit: 🤮🤮
Whatever the hell that fracture stuff is: 🧐

Maybe the snowman is just for a christmas event mode or something like that. I dont like it but i guess there is going to be some crazy stuff because of the battlepass, people like that kinda stuff.
So sad seeing the H5 helmets lol they are so sooo ugly, i can't believe they greenlighted 90% of them.

Interesting video that breaks down all base/sprint speeds in Halo:
The most interesting part to me is that you're supposedly moving at around 15mph in Halo 1/2/3. That's pretty much sprinting for any normal person in the real world....yet it feels very slow in-game. Why does it feel that slow? Probably because of the smooth movement and lack of real object reference, i.e. the scale/detail in the games around doesn't match the real world enough to make it actually feel like you're passing things quickly.
edit: also lol at that snowman helmet. 343 going to make Halo look like a circus confirmed. And hasn't data mining showed that there will be death effects as well? If there's stuff like the confetti death effect in Halo Reach that may be enough for me not to play Infinite...seriously.

That snowman head is bad.
I look forward to shooting it off of idiots who wear it.
It's a win win.

*sigh* Won't be long before Halo is just like random joke heads everywhere. What's next?Images that have been claimed to be leaked season 1 helmets.
My takeaway? Assuming this is season 1 and the content is at least somewhat representative of what we can expect going forward, I can tolerate one goofy helmet per season.
It's exactly what I dont want to happen
Wanted them to maintain some semblance of their aesthetic as time went on, rather than progressively devolving into an entire player population of 420 blaze it joke armor and neon snack skins
I'm cool with some armors stretching believably like the yorai armor, it's certainly out-there but it doesn't look like a joke
giant snowman head is definitely a joke
Like if it's a timed exclusive, like something you can only wear around holiday time, sure that's fun, fine
but as a permanent unlock i wouldnt be happy

Maybe MS is okay with loading up November since Christmas is right around the corner
Make those shiny new Series consoles extra hot for the holidays
November 15?
I can tolerate a goofy helm every now an then. I'd take a bunch of goofy helmets of the requisition system any day of the week.
In the spirit of customizing our personal experience, without impacting what other people see.
It would be cool if I could choose to give bots a certain helmet or have birthday party headshots- other players wouldn't see what I'm seeing

As Ramirez said, I'm not too worried for that Snowman helmet to be a permanent one, I think it will be a themed event cosmetic like Destiny use to do, especially for the Holidays:
That said, as more and more seasons will come, I'm afraid we might end up at some point with some goofy stuff like CoD did:

Hope it's just a fear that will never come true.

I just hope the snowman helmet increases your head hitbox, that way at least i could kill some people playing pvp :_)
I kinda dig that nightime map, i guess visibility is less of a problem now with the outline system, but i kinda wanna play a relaxed moody night map, imagine the mid game music:

And the last minutes of match music:
youtu.be
Halo 3 ODST OST Disk 1 Track 6 Asphalt and Ablution
Halo 3: ODST Original Soundtrack, Disk 1, Track 5 - Asphalt and Ablution

Somewhat akin to my post about bot slayer, I'm pretty sure Halo infinite is going to make me happy at those point, so honestly, I want them to be able to capture and retain the biggest audience they can otherwise, if that means a snowman, then so be it.
I'm over trying to protect Halo and hope it's only what I want it to be. I just want Halo to matter again, and I'm sure they have consumer research that indicates this is a way to drive engagement.
I take back everything I just said, if consumer research says this is what people want, we need a culling.

Mainly the Halo Infinite Flight and all the datamining connected to it.
Hope you had a good time.
I kinda feel the same, i remember not liking the anouncer telling you when a new weapon is going to spawn in 2015, but now i think its ok, i actually feel it fixes a lot of problems regarding teamwork with randos online. Its impossible to keep track of every weapon respawn unless you are some mastermind tactician that knows everything, but now if the sniper is gonna spawn, the game tells you and its gonna affect the teamwork and flow of the combat.
It helps newcomers telling them where the weapons are, but at the end of the day only the best teams are gonna get the power weapon since they are better players.
The player leader is just too OP. Bring them back during the main wars and UNSC win easy.
Also stuff like the snowman helmet is great. Just some wacky shit that is clearly themed. It's not Seeker or anything.
Weapon announcement/indicators don't only improve the gameplay for newcomers.
I reckon an easy 90% of players aren't consistently timing weapons. By clearly announcing the weapon spawn it means that the team which is better setup will claim it rather than whoever remembers when to grab it. Whilst you lose a small amount of depth in the weapon timing aspect the increased emphasis on controlling the map increases the overall depth of the game for the vast majority of matches.
There's a similar argument which can be applied to power up animations as well.
My main issue with this though is that it also assists the experienced players who are not timing weapon spawns. It basically ensures that the newer less experienced players will get dominated trying to get to the power ups and power weapons.
Yeah, the voiced announcement of pickups has a lead time of 10 seconds, which is nothing if anyone is vaguely prepared. The display timer is a bit more, but still wasn't past 30 seconds I think, so I'm definitely fine seeing that.
Lmao that's hilarious!
it almost atones for SMG starts on Ascension vs a Banshee… Almost.
OP
OP
Hoping for a healthy recovery btw 💪
Infinite actually factually good. For now.
Funny how Halo 2 SMG's actually turned out to be a counter to Banshees.
i do remember learning that dual SMGs would absolutely wreck a banshee up close, but that was after BR starts turned the Banshee into paper mache anyway lol.
I just remember everyone instantly diverting their combined attention to the Banshee in the sky. Fun times
Yaya not worried 💪🏻💪🏻
I looked at that image again, I def see the reach mk v, but then also like another one? Maybe an attempt at mk IV?
If anything, I'm confident we'll get there eventually, but idk about this initial batch
OP
OP
Not just up close, try it next time you play Halo 2. Your shots would register from across Ascension lol, SMG had good range and was hitscan. A team peppering the Banshee with SMG's was a good strat, I think even with BR starts.
I could be mistaken, but isn't the Halo 2 SMG better at dealing with the Banshee than the BR? It was that crazy.
I don't remember that, but can't say I ever tried. I assumed the spread on the SMG would render it useless at range.
the BR was not very good against the banshee on its own. But if everyone focused on it, it was over quickly.
My main issue with this is that telling all players when and where a weapon spawns almost guarantees that the more seasoned players will slaughter newer players who go for said powerups/weapons.
Seasoned players are gonna slaughter them anyway, because they generally understand the concept of map control, even if they don't know exact spawn times.
if the MM system is worth anything, players who are clueless about weapon and power up spawns won't be matching against players who are much better than them. The advantage of understanding this basic aspect of the game would show up in the rankings.

I like the snowman helmet, especially if it's only a timed thing lol
And weapon spawn announcements and weapon/equipment pads letting players know when stuff is coming up is fantastic. The only two things I time out/care enough to time out are power ups and the sniper in Halo 3. The game helping me out by letting me and everyone else know when that stuff will be ready is awesome. I love directed opportunities for engagement like that without needing to be a Halo pro, let alone going against them.
