Halo |OT 20| It really does feel like Halo

With all of the in-house Halo pros...there's no reason Halo 5 shouldn't be the best Halo multiplayer...if it isn't focused on competitive play then what's the point of having them ya know?

Fingers crossed for H5.

Except most of these "Halo Pros" grew up on teamshot-or-die Halo. Being a Halo Pro in Halo games with a compressed individual skill-gap doesn't translate into being able to design a skill-based Halo game.

343i should also hire some HCE Pros, i feel like the HCE lobby is pretty much non existant among those hired Halo Pros
they all are H2 or H3 Pros, and the last thing i would want to see is another H2 or H3 for the reason of what BigsShow said :/
we might as well just throw rocks at each other in H5 then

if H5 really wants to go back to the roots then please take it literally, considering the third game of a series as the roots doesnt make sense!

you dont know anything about sandboxes if you think the PR is not needed or that the carbine has no role in the sandbox.

I never said the PR wasn't needed, only that I didn't really like the stun feature. And I would argue that the carbine has a very small role in the sandbox. I hardly ever see it being used. I'm just thinking of ways in which it could be made more interesting and therefore more likely to be used.

How do you check that

Let's just say it take 4 seconds before shields start to recharge. CC could deal minimal damage for five seconds after the shot has connected. Then it would take 9 seconds before shields would start to recharge. Something like that could work.

That's actually a concept I didn't consider. It would prevent shield recharge for much longer..


That could be a very interesting weapon actually. Be quite difficult to balance though.

It's annoying to an extent. But one you figure out when they have that weapon, you can plan a little better. As long as I could move behind an obstruction before dying, I could recover. Can't say I miss it though.

That's my biggest problem with the concept of stun actually. There's been times when I've thought I could make it around a corner but nope, stun slows you down.

Are there any HCE Pros still around? I mean that PURELY play HCE? Far as I know, the old guard for H2 and H3 are still making waves, so that's what 343 has to pull from.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong. It just seems like HCE's multiplayer was a PC shooter on consoles. While the concepts and balance holds up, not much else does.

2 and 3 were better than CE though....




/bad but true opinions.



LOL

No surprise there... This OT was created in a 3 week exam slide. I'm sitting at my desk 100% of my week.

/ashamed

Haha, I'm catching you up and I have an Oxford entrance exam in less than 2 weeks...


I really should be working more...

it would be a start to consider players with the likes of OGRE2 that have decent knowledge and playtime across all Halo titles, HCE in LAN and XBC included
H5 would probably benefit more from that then having it being tested by players that pretty much exclusively played a single game of the series


yet you liked Halo reach and 4... gtfo with any opinion you have.

i love you too

In the same way that McDonald's is "better" than a finely grilled home-cooked fillet.

Nah, I like to think of Halo 2 as this type of burger:

And Halo 3 is a full blown mouth watering meal:

Oh and I just really, really want to eat these...

Finally watched today's footage. What did I learn? That there are people for whom it is entirely possible to miss an entire clip of Fuel Rods at close range, in Halo 4. All this time, I thought it was a myth.

Posting images of food in non-food threads should be a bannable offence.

Especially since the comparison doesn't make much sense really.
I just used it as an excuse to post tasty looking food...
Where's this from? I gotta know.

Don't be put off by the name. I get so jealous every time I visit that subreddit...
