So yeah, new stuff

-thruster is in
-pistol has sights, no one used them tho
-new smg thing (looks like it has a red dot sight) that has a grenade launcher attached
-radar is standard halo radar, didn't look like it showed elevation but I'm not sure
-smaller medals in lower middle of screen

Pretty sure it isn't a grenade launcher.


Looks more like a backward thrust.

 

[Syphon Filter]

All the overreacting was hilarious though.

We'll come back to this thread in 2015 and have a good laugh about it.

Enjoy COD 2015

 

[nillapuddin]

Looping. Gifs. Damnit.

 

[Diablohead]

is that a 12 round pistol I see?

he firedd a grenade from the SMG.

 

[VisceralBowl]

I like the pistol.

 

[Syphon Filter]

After seeing the subsequent clips, I'm pretty sure whoever Shinobi talked to doesn't completely understand ADS. Regarding sprint, however, I'd still prefer it not to be in the game.

The guy didn't press the left trigger, see tomorrow...

 

[jem0208]

The only reason they turned is because there was no ADS footage.

But I saw:

• Sprinting
• Thrusters
• Tons of medals

edit: dear fucking god, stop quoting those videos.

I think this implies that it isn't ADS and is actually just redesigned zoom.


As for the others:

- Sprinting: Not bothered either way, don't mind having it, wouldn't mind not having it.
- Thrusters: Do want, looks awesome.
- Tons of medals: Meh, not too bothered. I got used to the text in halo 4, I can get used to that.

he firedd a grenade from the SMG.

Backwards thrust.

 

[Masterz117]

These actually look kind of cool. I also just noticed that it looks like the aiming crosshairs are in the middle of the screen instead of being slightly lower.

I agree. Looks interesting. I think we should wait till tomorrow to actually judge. The more I see, the more comfortable I feel.

 

[BigShow36]

he firedd a grenade from the SMG.

Yeah, but he sacrificed a silencer for the attachment, so it's balanced.

 

[JDHarbs]

I like the pistol.

What the fuck.

343 are going to have a long day tomorrow.

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

Ok, those clips didn't look too bad. Thruster will be cool, Sprinting is meh, hipfiring looks fine.


Tomorrow is going to be interesting.

EDIT: Also, map callouts are back above the radar, I like.

 

[TTUVAPOR]

Remember this folks? Red dot sight on the BR...and many of us predicted it meant Halo would have ADS...and well what do ya know?

 

[The British Hick]

The OP edit is brilliant.

I wonder if in our feedback for the BETA in December we can just post in a comment box using role reversals.

"It really doesn't feel like Halo''

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Looks like thrust is back, the guy in the second video does it. Game looks quite fast paced.

 

[TheOddOne]

Also did he shoot a grenade from his SMG?

Yeah, I have no clue what is happening there.

 

[IXIKelsonIXI]

Honest question...

Did anybody actually think sprint wasn't coming back?

 

[VinFTW]

he firedd a grenade from the SMG.

Honestly though, that could be cool, was a gun in reach no?... Could be hard to pull off, similar to rail-gun, which is actually something good that came out of H4

New clips make me feel a bit better but sprint has to go.

Thrusting looks cool, red triangle in top right corner after he thrusts in first clip shows theres a CD, which is an amazing implementation.


But yeah, sprints gotta go. Didn't see any ADS for the AR, if the BR ADS truly is just a reskin they need to get rid of that.

 

[Poodlestrike]

So, sprint still sucks, but everything else is looking better. Hipfire seems to work, thruster packs in first person are nice. Feeling better than I did 10 minutes ago, though still not 100% back to hype yet.

 

[GringoSuave89]

After seeing the subsequent clips, I'm pretty sure whoever Shinobi talked to doesn't completely understand ADS. Regarding sprint, however, I'd still prefer it not to be in the game.

Ditto. But I'm not as leery as I was initially.

 

[biosnake20]

Oh god don't tell me they're going to have a CoD-esque attachment system in H5.

 

[Fracas]

Yeah, I have no clue what is happening there.

Looks like alt fire to me

Backwards thrust.

IF backward thrust also shoots a grenade forward.

the clip shows a grenade going forward toward the enemy AS he backward thrusted.

 

[jem0208]

Yeah, I have no clue what is happening there.

Backwards thrust. I'm certain of it.

 

[IHaveIce]

Yeah, I have no clue what is happening there.

100% backthrust, though I also thought at first it would be a grenade

 

[Fotos]

Yeah, I have no clue what is happening there.

Looks like he thrusted backwards and the muzzle flash looks like an explosion. I don't think it shot a grebade.

 

[TheOhrenberger.]

Backwards thrust. I'm certain of it.

That's really what it looks like.

 

[GringoSuave89]

IF backward thrust also shoots a grenade forward.

That plasma looked like it came from the right, not the gun.

 

[Orochinagis]

That pistol has sights.

And the grenade launcher too

 

[belushy]

-

Where did you find the clips

 

[Poodlestrike]

IF backward thrust also shoots a grenade forward.

the clip shows a grenade going forward toward the enemy AS he backward thrusted.

I honestly can't tell; is he shooting a grenade at the guy as he backthrusts, or was the grenade already stuck when the guy turned the corner?

 

[Masterz117]

New clips make me feel a lot better.

Anyone know where these are coming from?

 

[JDHarbs]

Looks like a sticky grenade being shot there for a second.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Are you gonna pick up a One so you can join in on the Halo 5 goodness? Whether it be beta or launch.

Yesterday: Nope.

Today:. Ahahahahahaha. Nope.

 

[Sou Da]

Since they're going the CoD route with medals I'm pretty sure there would have been a grenade kill medal there if he shot one.

 

[jem0208]

IF backward thrust also shoots a grenade forward.

the clip shows a grenade going forward toward the enemy AS he backward thrusted.

I went through frame by frame. I can't see any grenade.

The sudden flash is from muzzle flash of the SMG.

 

[klodeckel]

Hipfire seems to be there like it always was ... Gunplay looks nice.

 

[TTUVAPOR]

http://www.twitch.tv/halo

Thank God for Halo 2. Feels so good watching esports Halo, the proper way.

 

[TheXbox]

Is ADS in or not? I've already lit my xbox on fire, guys, I need confirmation.

 

[BigShow36]

Yeah, I have no clue what is happening there.

Looks like a backwards thrust while his teammate to the right (note the radar) throws a plasma.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Hipfire seems to be there like it always was ... Gunplay looks nice.

That's because he didn't press the left trigger, watch tomorrow...

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

he firedd a grenade from the SMG.

No he doesn't. He thrusters backwards while shooting, and the guy comes around the corner with a plasma grenade already stuck to him.

 

[tootsi666]

When a leak normally happens I say to myself: "wait for concrete info"
When Halo leal happens, I go crazy

Shows how much this series means to me.

 

[Ein Bear]

So what are we thinking then, is the ADS just a re-designed zoom? Some good hip firing going on in those new videos.

If so, then fair play to Jem. I definitely didn't believe, but he called it.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Looks like alt fire to me

Oh you mean like a secondary function of the weapon? Are they going all perfect dark?

 

[jem0208]

Is ADS in or not? I've already lit my xbox on fire, guys, I need confirmation.

Probably not?




Either way, new footage has me excited.

 

[VinFTW]

Looks like a backwards thrust while his teammate to the right (note the radar) throws a plasma.

Wow this. Good fucking call.

Gun goes up (red triangle pops up indicating thruster cooldown) when he back thrusts.

Thrusting looks cool.

If only they didn't fuck it up with sprint.

 

[JonCha]

Yeah most likely.

Again, as I said earlier, what will swing it for me is whether zooming in compromise movement speed. If it doesn't, then I'm in.
