That's actually sad, I think that dog might have a problem in the hip :/

Nice one.

Why are Halo fans so crazy about ADS/sprinting?

All FPS have this now - Halo is stuck in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

 

[Head.spawn]

Believe in Phil Spencer.

Well, yes. This is my take and I think possibly 343s reasoning.

You want the best of the old Halo? Here... take all of it @ 60fps in one giant awesome cheap package.

If a new Halo is doing something I don't like, it's no sweat off of my brow because TMCC is a thing I'll have in two days.

I'll hold off my judgement of Hall 5 until I play it.

 

[ZROCOOL]

And the BR had ADS?

 

[Wildarmsjecht]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Your avatar image post would have sufficed just as well. Its so perfect for this thread right now lmao

[JonCha]

Regardless of Shinobi's legitimacy if this functions like it does in other shooters, ie movement is slowed, then I'm out.

As for Sprint, I'm not surprised. That was never going to be removed unnecessary as it is. Assuming the video is real of course (which it seems to be).

 

[belushy]

Where did you get that info?

Also, going after eSports by including those features seems pretty silly IMO. COD has virtually zero eSports presence, and the only shooter with a large presence has a shooting system similar to old school Halo. (CS:GO)

What? COD has like the 4th biggest eSports presence behind LoL, Dota, CSGO, and Hearthstone.

 

[TechOne]

Asked around, things can change but, assault rifle got dat ADS too, "pretty much" all the weapons. They're going for that e-sports scene very hard.

Welp.

If this turns out to be true, then I lack the words to express my dismay.

Halo needs to change, to be exactly the same.

How could 343 be so shortsighted? FPSes really are just a homogeneous collection of CoD-style shooters now.

I guess if all the FPS's have it, it must be a superior gameplay feature.

[MagicWithEarvin]

You think they'll include a mode where there isn't ADS and sprint? I think that would appease the majority of Halo fans.

 

[Xamtheking]

I fail to see what the big deal is? It would just be the replacement for zooming with weapons like the battle rifle, except it would look better on screen.

It's specifically the aspect of ADS that when you aim down the sights you slow down to a crawl
The BR could be aimed down in previous Halo games but it didn't slow down your movement speed

Lol things won't change.

Bye Halo and bye competitive Halo. Why would anyone play Halo 5 competitively when it'll be a clone of Treyarch's next game next year?

 

[Boke1879]

How in the fuck could 343i fuck up twice and after saying they are going back to the basics. Seriously that shit is just marketing speak now to generate hype.

Halo community give them shit for this. We need to say first and foremost we want ADS and sprint removed.

Lool wtf? At first i didn't get why people where so upset until I really thought about it but assault rifle with ADS is just wow.

I know the exact difference, this basically a stylized form of zoom while being less jarring for the player.

Like I said there is absolutely no proof that any other gun has ADS.

Lmaooo please keep on going.

[Nocturnal]

The meltdown is real.

I only played a little bit of the first Halo, so I can't say much.

Anyway, perhaps they can allow people to choose the "new" mode with ADS and sprint and a "classic" gameplay mode.

 

[shinobi602]

I think the only way it might work is if they make hip-fire viable as in Destiny. Otherwise...eh..

What made more more sad is that, while MC is still playable, Locke really is the primary character. Goddamnit.

 

[ryan299]

So i don't know if this is true but I read some rumors on reddit and the halo forums so take it with a grain of salt but I heard theres a charge ability that allows you to ram into the back of a player and kill them. Also heard theres a ground pound ability that will kill you like what was showed in the reveal trailer for the beta.

Didn't think it 343 would do that in a Halo game but after seeing that leak I'm thinking its going to happen.

 

[Computer]

With this news the least 343 could do is make H2A map packs.

Without activision money, it wouldn't be big. Halo used to be self sustaining

The dream is dead.

 

[viveks86]

343 has had a history of saying "We're listening to community, we know what they want"

Then doing the complete OPPOSITE.

They've probably just gotten to the point where they know they can never come close to Bungie's Halo so they're like fuck it lets just rip off their work and just totally sell out after that.

Hmmm... guess I'll wait and see what everyone has to say after tomorrow's stream.

[FordGTGuy]

You seem to not really understand what ADS means when referring to fps games. It isn't just zooming in or using a scope. It is the system that is in place that increases your accuracy and slows you down while aiming, normally paired with poor hip fire accuracy. The BR had zooms where you lose no mobility and aren't any more actuate.

The people you are arguing with don't seem to realize that you just don't understand what the term means as well.

I know what ADS means but we need to see more footage to see if it actually does change mobility and accuracy in this game.

So they really are retiring the Chief, eh.

I just want my dog back in Fable.

 

[TheVoidDragon]

I don't think this is much of a surprise, really. Halo 4 showed that they don't know how to make a Halo game and have no idea what they are doing, it seems they are just going to keep ruining the series.

Just because many games have a certan gameplay mechanic doesn't mean all games need it.

 

[Xpliskin]

Can someone explain in a few statements why adding those two features is outraging ?

(only Halo I've beat was 3 a while ago, never played MP)

i don't find hip fire all that viable minus a few guns. shotguns obviously, sometimes fusion rifles and occasionally something like The Last Word which has perks to do so

Thanks for MCC tho

Honestly assumed that something like that was possible (hence my previous post saying I'll wait before getting really concerned).

I mean, I could still see myself having fun with Halo 5 but this is pretty disappointing news.

Stop it with your meltdown information.

 

[danwarb]

It's a goddamn zoom in other Halo games. It does not change the gun's accuracy nor does it change the movement speed.

Do we know that this is any different, aside from the aesthetic?


This thread is moving fast.

Dude change your name. You can't make a garbage post like this with the name Ksharp. Go look up the real Ksharp and you will find out why they don't want ADS scrubbing up this game.
