Maybe it's time for the game to evolve.

Tell that to CSGO players

Some games need refinement, not major mechanics overhauls

 

[The Shogun]

Sprint and ADS in Halo.........


343 what's happening.......

 

[MarauderShields]

And people had faith in this after 4? lel

Well you would think they would learn something from the way the community abandoned the game. Instead they just doubled down.

 

[TimeEffect]

Annoys the crap out of me.

At least you guys have the MCC to remember what a good Halo game used to be like.

 

[Gorillaz]

 

[Storm Raider]

Looks awful.. I really hope they get rid of the sprinting and ADS.

 

[soulassssns]

Day one

#dealwithit

 

[Pooya]

How do you ADS AR? lol or a needler?

That gun looks more like Auto Rifle from Destiny than BR... might as well cut all the covenant guns to make it more like Destiny. That's how clueless they are, I recall people were humoring all this now look!

 

[Markitron]

odds are, like in most games, "hip firing" will have a massive accuracy penalty to the point of making it impractical.

Surely this would be the game to not impose a penalty to hip firing? It could just be me but it felt like there was almost no penalty in Destiny, and ADS was just personal preference.

 

[Scum]

 

[Beelzebufo]

So what's bad about 'Aim Down Sights'?

Really haha, everyone's just talking about it like it's the worst thing ever.

 

[Steve o 3000]

It's a damn shame the game is so close to release and there isn't time to make any changes.

 

[Magwik]

Nothing at all wrong with aiming down the sights. Welcome to 2014.

Maybe people don't want every shooter to be homogenized and like CoD? Not everything needs to be the same to be modern.

This was my thought. If CSGO had ADS and sprint, the internet might implode.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

But what if it's actually fun

 

[Caboose]

They done goofed. Again.

 

[legacyzero]

They've said the reason they're doing it this early is precisely for this reason.

Which one? Feature tests? Or feature tweaks?

 

[Bessy67]

Hasn't the BR always had ADS? Not seeing how this is big news...

 

[MrChowderClams]

Crysis 4 looking slick as fuck y'all!

lol

 

[VeeP]

I don't get how it's offensive, period.

Do you play Halo? No? That's why you don't get how its offensive.

Edit: But wait till the Beta before we bitch. A month and half longer guys.

 

[Buckbeard]

ADS in Halo?! Is this real life?

Dammit 343. Just when we were warming up to you, you go and pull this shit.

 

[Brannon]

STINKLES!

OH WAIT you took a break, I wonder why.




Actually I don't so hey.

 

[bj00rn_]

I thought I was a big Halo fan (since day one) - Until I saw other people's posts in this thread. Glad I was wrong.

 

[StuBurns]

Well, this just made my decision to not get an Xbox One a lot easier.

Scalebound will get you, it will get all of us...

 

[Niven]

It could but it won't. At most they'll just throw in some 'classic' playlist.

I don't know know I think this is going to upset a lot of people

 

[Miles Quaritch]

The CoD demographic asked for it and 343 obliged.

And obliging them is ruining the series.

Seriously, if people want sprint in MP, there are plenty of other games that offer it. halo doesn't need it and anyone who says it does, isn't someone who should be taken seriously.

Sigh, at least we've got Halo 2 and 3 MP to look forward to.

 

[Clockwork]

Halo combat, evolved?

I don't see the problem with incorporating new gameplay mechanics and features. Why should things remain stagnant?

 

[iMax]

About time ADS came to Halo. Combat needs to evolve again from 2001.

 

[hydruxo]

Looked good to me.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

Sure this would be the game to not impose a penalty to hip firing? It could just be me but it felt like there was almost no penalty in Destiny, and ADS was just personal preference.

I don't think this is the case at all.

 

[PROh1bited]

Good thing we have the MCC, so if Halo 5 does turn out to be bad then we can just go back to the former and play that.

 

[th4tguy]

I feel like I can live with sprint and ADS IF they aren't using preloadouts. Halo is all about map control and weapon control. Weapon placements on the map is a huge part of that. Preloadouts ruined that.

 

[Apath]

Man, I'm disappointed by the link in the OP as much as everyone else, but people are being awfully hard on 343. From the posts here, you'd think they literally murdered puppies.

 

[Amir0x]

You do realize that if they don't add these things, people will view their new game as archaic, right?

This abundance of hyperbole lately is not cool.

HEY GUYZ IF PEOPLE WANT SHIT, AND THEY DON'T ADD SHIT, PEOPLE WILL SAY WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE THEM SHIT

this argument is terrible JLeack. You design for what works best, not to appease shitlords without skills who never even liked the series to begin with for what it was.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

This is the first time I had to read an entire page to understand what is going on

 

[RoKKeR]

This makes the #weback hashtag all the more hilarious.

 

[oti]

Controlled leak just to get early feedback and change it again.

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

So, umm, all this uproar over two features that have been in just about ever other FPS for God knows how long?

I'd ask for an explanation but I doubt the answer would make any more sense.

You just don't do that shit to Halo. Simple as. No explanation needed.

 

[Poodlestrike]

So, umm, all this uproar over two features that have been in just about ever other FPS for God knows how long?

Because it is not every other FPS. It's Halo. I'm all for adding new features, but this ADS is, quite simply put, entirely against what makes Halo Halo, being able to move and shoot with total freedom. No need to choose which to do.

 

[Flame Lord]

I don't even understand. I might not even buy this thing, which feels weird saying about a Halo game.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

Sprint & ADS in Halo

 

[jblank83]

So what's bad about 'Aim Down Sights'?

It's not as good as Quake style.

 

[Poodle Cannon]

If there's no movement speed penalty while adsing and isn't more accurate than non adsing then I'm ok with it.

 

[Orayn]

Halo combat, evolved?

I don't see the problem with incorporating new gameplay mechanics and features. Why should things remain stagnant?

They should incorporate new features that are good rather than copying others series and incorporating features that are shit.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Aim Down Sights. Wow. Ugh.

-- FYI this is from The Halo Channel which you can DL via MCC. If anyone can get better footage it would be great.

 

[dalVlatko]

I knew 343 had no idea what they were doing.

Glad I didn't buy an Xbox One.

 

[Tambini]

its not about evolving the gameplay to modern standards, it slows down the gameplay and the movement, takes up the whole screen and basically turns it into a stand still and shoot contest

 

[Victory Red]

Panic ensues.

It looked like a decent amount of zoom. Could just be a new low-zoom scope or something.

 

[iMax]

Which one? Feature tests? Or feature tweaks?

Core gameplay mechanics that can be experimented with, chopped and changed as required. The game isn't releasing for over a year.

 

[Two Words]

You guys can bitch all you want, ads is in destiny and it feel like a natural progression to halo so I don't mind and I still have faith in 343i

I hate ADS in Destiny.
