I think its a boost dash to the right.
maybe its context sensitive animation

Like what?Looks fine. Sprint is a lost battle. ADS seems kind of cosmetic here. It will have worse and more fundamental problems than these things, have no fear.
It was horrible. looked generic and uninspired.
Actually a boost dash forward.maybe its context sensitive animation
Some of the reactions are just mind boggling without actually playing the game. Do you guys generally react without trying out something for yourselves?
The videos are also blurry as crap, not sure what can be judged so far. Looking forward to some real impressions and reveal.
If it's crap like Halo 4 then by all means, give 343 the biggest bash ever. But we don't know just yet.
i wonder if ADS is going to be mapped to the left trigger now
I'm sure 343i have plenty of terrible ideas up their sleeves, but basically unless they make good on a promise of even starts and no unlocks that affects gameplay, it'll be the same pack-chasing, metagaming mess Halo 4 was.Like what?
Halo fans are reacting to see some of the design decisions they hated in Reach and Halo 4 -- games they played extensively -- repeated here.Some of the reactions are just mind boggling without actually playing the game. Do you guys generally react without trying out something for yourselves?
I spent a while reading through this thread, and all I can say is that hardcore Halo fans are a passionate group.
Changes don't matter much to me, but if they can retain what makes Halo unique I'd say that's the way to go.

if we play the canon angle, then ADS has no reason to exist.
to make it more identifiable and "modern"
Hoping you can cook grenades now.

If 100% true, it'll be pretty hilarious when Halo vets are tearing up everything with hip fire while other dudes are trying to get their ironsights out.Josh Holmes confirmed it's purely cosmetic and players don't get punished by using hipfire. I still want to know why it was included, though. I believe it's purpose is just to attract people who are familiar with ADS FPS games...
Yeah the whole point of Halo frags (at least in 1-3) is to use the environment to time the explosion.Get this shit outa here, Halo is all about grenade bouncing not insta kill frags to the face.

Everyone should still be pissed in my opinion. If you played hundreds of hours of Halo 2&3 MP, a 5 second clip is enough to show you that's gonna change the core Halo gameplay.
I hope I'm wrong. I'll be watching tomorrow night for sure.
"Kinect, use teabag to crouch grab weapon."
Be interesting to see reactions to how some of this plays tomorrow.
Especially why sprint isn't a get out of jail free card anymore.
Seems like abilities are back. They're just remarketing them and making them available by default.
You know the answer to that question, you are not new here.
Eh, I really loved Halo 4. I play Halo games for their campaigns, though.
I can't wait to see the proper unveiling.
Let's hope this situation ends in a similar fashion.CSGO did something similar with their scoped weapons. They went from just a big zoom to an optical scope. Of course people complained about the changes and made the CoD comparisons but it was only a visual thing and everyone got over it fairly quickly.
No idea. Let's wait until tomorrow to find out. But my guess is that it's just like it has always been: weapons that had zoom, still have it; the others don't. The only difference: it looks different.Oh, so is it only on select weapons?
I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic and playing on the whole "is Halo still relevant?" idea...How can you people call something dead without even playing the game yet. All you guys are doing is making some pre-determined opinion. Give the game a chance first, 343 isn't stupid.
I hope this is sarcasm, too.You have 343 in your name, the fuck you know about rationality
Exactly. People need to understand this.Again this ADS we saw on the clip is mechanically the exact same we have in previous halos, just looks different. I saw no movement slowdown, and the scope in looked instantaneous. Its the same.
Alright, sure, it is aiming down the sights, yes. Cosmetically. And that's where the similarities to CoD end. The player does not get slowed down. Shooting from the hip is just as accurate as "aiming down the sights"/zooming.Made to look like COD, its still ADS.
I guess sprinting could be ditched but ADS is not so bad. But I agree, no killstreak just an arena style shooter with fair gameplay (if the ADS is how they described it). No custom loadouts, nothing like that.I don't see a problem with this. Halo with cosmetic ADS + sprinting - abilities is basically what I wanted for Halo 4. Ditch the kill streak rewards and you have the beginnings of a very awesome game.

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.
The halo thread has had like 20 OT's or something. This is nothing.dead
I can't believe we have 3000 replies on this though.....
Don't bother. Everyone is too busy riding their high horse and calling anyone with a complaint crazy.
Did I say anything about ADS? No.

It has nothing to do with high horse and more on baseless assumptions that I guess you yourself are making. I have played hundreds of hours of Halo 2&3 too and I'm not acting like a child based off of a blurry snippet. Beta comes out, complain away. But there is no context and you choose to just react anyways.
I hope we can change that.Probably, although I'll miss my LT frag pulls. Hopefully they'll just get moved to one of the bumpers.

Bungie's been wanting to implement Sprint since Halo 2. I never understood the opposition to it.
Welp!!! Can I have your copies since everyone jumped ship over 7 seconds... Guess I'll be wandering around multiplayer by myself!!
