This would be cool. Very cool.

Of course Nylund would be cool too.

Nylund coming back to Halo would be incredible. They should have just put him in charge of the franchise's story stuff when they were forming 343.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Joe Staten is listed as Sr. Creative Director on SO too.

I thought Staten was instated as a type of overall director on all Microsoft first party/second party games? Kind of like a quality assurance type of guy that helps all the studios?

Nylund coming back to Halo would be incredible. They should have just put him in charge of the franchise's story stuff when they were forming 343.

Would not have minded that at all. His books were so good.

I'm always curious about these books and stuff. Does the company(Bungie in the Nylund books, 343 now) go to an author and say something like "we were thinking a book about ____ characters and ____ setting, you write everything about it"?

Or do they kind of say "write something about ____" Or even leave it completely open ended and have an author just go crazy?

I've tried to ask Frankie something similar in the past but I never got an answer. Not sure why I want an answer to this question so badly, but I do.

This little incident should tell 343 that

1. We know exactly what we don't want
And
2. You won't be able to stay silent this time around.

they'll "listen" . they add what we dont want.

 

[Granadier]

Couldn't they just up the base movement speed?

I don't think that would work.

Yeah, he is listed with the Microsoft staff.

If ADS is truly cosmetic then I want it to be optional. Give me a switch in the menu somewhere to enable old style zoom.

I don't think it is strictly cosmetic, I think it is a 1.5 zoom or something like that. Automatics probably get decreased bloom when zooming in since the SMG and AR has it. Basically they are making automatics be more competitive while slightly nerfing the BR since it gets the sight.

Also, will there be weapon attachments now, but not in 'Arena' ?

"We'll learn from our mistakes." "We know what we did wrong." "Halo 6 will be the best Halo."

 

[ViewtifulJC]

"We'll learn from our mistakes." "We know what we did wrong." "Halo 6 will be the best Halo."

"stop jumping to conclusions" "343/Bungie will listen to the fanbase, give it a chance" "adapt its a new game"

 

[Ein Bear]

Ryan needs to stop going for those noscopes.

 

[Granadier]

I enjoy that people arguing from the other side say that Halo needs to innovate in order to stay relevant, when CS has stayed the same since the 90's and is still king.

Gameplay > Innovation

What would happen if Valve decided to add ADS and sprinting to CS:GO?

Learn to play DOTA.

In reality it would get patched out quicker than that AUG buff.

People would drop the game.

It's a given that CS won't change, why did Halo become different?

 

[Caayn]

"We'll learn from our mistakes." "We know what we did wrong." "Halo 6 will be the best Halo."

Sometimes a joke hurts too much that it isn't funny anymore.

Automatics have had zoom scopes before. Odst smg, h2a smg. Assault rifle has not been confirmed to be scoped. Shinobi just heard that many have, not all.

Everytime I read "Halo needs to innovate", all I read is "I don't like Halo, I like CoD, I want Halo to be CoD, but I don't want to make that exact statement".

The main thing to remember is that melee now has 30x scope. But you stop when you use it.

The internet has a massive amount of power. Look at what it did to the Xbox One. We need to be vocal. Starting with getting rid of sprint.

Will we be able to drop our weapons and use our fists as weapons? Button Combos can come back as a way to improve the fisticuff meta game.

If you can do cosmetic-only ADS, you sure as shit can do cosmetic-only sprint.

Welcome back Frankie. Can you confirm whether or not plasma grenades also have ADS?

Triple wielding in Halo 5 confirmed. You also ADS each weapon individually in three different directions.

I've actually legitimately mulled over if I could do it if I ever get to make my FPS.

All the sprint does is make your arms flail around while you run at the same max speed as tilting the stick all the way.
