I got it free and I cannot believe how much they ruined Dante's character.
Gameplay was ok though.

A bunch of overreaction. It's a very early Beta for a reason. Voice your opinions loudly but respectfully. Calling 343 stupid and telling them all to go fu- well you get the picture.

Can somebody link me the article of the MC/Locke distribution?

The leaked cinematic didn't really give me the impression that I would like Locke. This combined with the newest MP revelations is starting to put a significant downer on my Sunday.

If ADS doesn't affect hipfire negatively and doesn't have any advantage over hipfire beyond zoom, than it's fine. If hipfire has spread&bloom, and ADS has further aim assist range, like Destiny, than it will be shit.

To be fair, this isn't minor.

Shooting and moving are like...the game. That's what you do for 99.9% of the game. Implementing mechanics that affect those...is affecting a big part of the game.

. Do you see Counterstrike adding ADS and Sprint?

maybe if they did the game wouldn't have bombed on consoles

Give me ADS, but don't penalize hip fire, there is a time and place for booth
But please for the love of god let this game be modern finally.

I do wish they would speak on it, if ADS is in the game, I will go out and buy MCC tuesday just to play the beta, if its simply that silly click in stuff....then I will just keep playing Destiny/COD/Battlefield

Well as developers they are pretty much showing they do not give a fuck about the fan base by implementing these mechanics. Would be surprised if they cared about the outrage, considering they have the gall to do this shit after Halo 4.

Halo is pretty much the only multiplayer shooter without ADS as a mechanic for consoles. ADS inherently changes the flow of the game by forcing the player the stop and zoom down. It reduces the importance of movement, which is a key factor in Halo games. If ADS was added, Halo would not be Halo. It could still be good, but slapping the Halo name on it is just an attempt to strangle the old fanbase.

Sprint was also a big reason why Halo changed so dramatically for the worse after 3. Maps need to be designed differently to accommodate the more mobile units. It leaves behind a lot of stuff that made the map design in the first 3 Halos so top tier.

Lol do you really think they will change core mechanics in a beta? Get real its a glorified demo.

I don't even particularly like Halo, but I find this pretty a pretty insulting move by 343i towards the fan base. They're basically saying that they would 'rather' have the CoD massive playing their game than the people who play Halo because it's Halo.

'But what if it's still good???' kind of misses the point of why people are upset; the point is the blatant disregard for the fans of the series.

Hardly a surprise, 343 seemed to be trying to make Halo just like every other console shooter out there, so this was pretty much inevitable.

Yeah, we heard this shit with Halo 4 as well. So I doubt they will listen to feedback.

There is a problem in if you do not change enough, you get criticized. If you change too much, you get criticized.
Remember how bad Fallout 3 was criticized before release?
Personally Sprint does not bother me, ADS slowing everything going around you bothers me.

Im gonna leave this right here from Halo Waypoint forums.

"For all Halos there has been a scope, and when you scope you zoom in without seeing the gun instantly with no delay. In this game it seems there are optional detachable scopes, as shown in the footage with the gun. When the player zoomed in, it was instant, ADS is never instant, not even in COD. Now, because it was instant, that matched with the old scopes of yore. Also, the redicle is like scopes of past games. So with all of this, then it is safe to assume that the ONLY difference in this gameplay compared to other Halos is that you can see the gun, therefore, this is only an aesthetic change. Possibly to fool other FPS players into thinking there's ADS to come in, and pleasing the old fans too by not changing the mechanics. Pleasing the new, and the old, and that's the philosophy that 343 is going by."

just something to think about.

What i there to think about. Maybe its just cosmetic for all of them. What's up with the pessimism?

Just cosmetic? Think about it for more than three seconds and think about how rediculous that sounds.

The entire thing about aiming down the sights in FPS is to aim more accurately. They aren't dictating the left trigger to a cosmetic-only sight-obstructing feature that NOBODY would ever use if it didn't improve the gun's accuracy.
You are just putting your fingers in your ears and going 'LALALA' if you honestly think it's just a throwaway cosmetic feature.
