I'd be concerned if Nornfang couldn't accept standard sniper anmo

onyx latch
#

IIRC Kelly's shotgun also uses specialized fletchettes, so that's actually 3

#

Chief and Fred both use standard rifles

#

I don't think any IV short of Kovan is listed as having a particular attachment to their gun

#

(Spartan Kovan used "Abbey Lime" as her personal sniper rifle, that coating is canon)

civic sundial
#

Like, for a prototype weapon, I'd be more forgiving if it had unique ammo to itself, because prototyping stuff sometimes necessitates doing that, but a modified variant of a standard weapon not having compatibility with the standard ammo would be terrible

civic sundial
onyx latch
#

Right

magic loom
#

I did like the Norfang, explosive sniper hell yeah

onyx latch
#

Weird that she went from a splaser heavy to a sniper.

civic sundial
#

I think she carried both

#

And maybe lost her Splaser at some point

crystal iron
#

I did think of that, availability etc. But for certain missions, deep strikes, assassinations, command killing all sorts of spec op stuff 5here could be a expanded armoury

#

It would have been cool to see

onyx latch
#

I know Infinity crew members are some of the few to actually use the UNSC's scant energy bayonets.

#

Because those are mostly prototypes IIRC.

magic loom
#

I remember the bayonets from Halo 5 they were very awesome, I liked the foreunner orange one more because of looks

civic sundial
#

Aye, makes sense they'd get first dibs on those too. Infinity is seen as much as a science vessel as it is military

onyx latch
#

So that's... 5?

civic sundial
onyx latch
#

Nornfang, Etilka, Oathsworn, Selene's Lance, and Abbey Lime.

onyx latch
civic sundial
#

I remember SPNKr Prime having the little mythic banner on its card but I don't think it was used by anyone specifically

civic sundial
# onyx latch Yep

And roger that. Kinda funny to think Halo 5 had that as a vehicle counter given you're likely to just get killed before you can melee it

onyx latch
#

Halo 5 was funny like that sometimes.

#

I don't know why they had such a weird emphasis on meleeing vehicles in that game.

magic loom
#

Rocket launchers were insane in Halo 5, miss a few honestly

civic sundial
#

Ad Victoriam my beloved

magic loom
#

My favourite was the Ace Victorian, 3 shot rocket it just perfect

#

Spartan lasers were amazing too, the fast shot one ton of fun

crystal iron
#

2 marines still alive after clearing the entry room of the ship on Truth and Reconciliation (legendary) that makes me feel proud haha

warped yew
#

To other PC players, have yall played Halo mods and would you recommend any?

tulip tusk
#

do u want campaign or multiplayer mods

warped yew
#

Any

tulip tusk
#

i liked Halo 3 Combat Evolved bc it also has 2 multiplayer maps, but only got to play the maps twice so far so idk how many host gamenights with them

#

im a sucker for the Danger Canyon map from H1

warped yew
#

Alr cuz I got interested in a wip mod called Halo 2 Rebalanced (it's not just a Rebalanced btw)

#

And that mod made me like, I wonder what else the Halo community makes

little trench
warped yew
#

Halo 3 Evolved?

little trench
#

its just halo ce but remade in halo 3 engine

warped yew
#

Oh yeah I think I've heard of that. Isn't it just made by 1 person?

little trench
#

ye

warped yew
#

Wow I can't imagine how long it must take

little trench
#

there is also the flood zombies map which uses the first halo 3 mission but with flood and mini boss flood

warped yew
#

To get that much detail for like 1 area

little trench
#

but p sure the flood zombies map is not up to date sadly

warped yew
#

Alr

little trench
#

I'm assuming you wanted like mods that change the game entirely instead of qol fixes fight?

warped yew
#

It doesn't rly matter but yeah

#

Campaign overhauls for example

little trench
#

yea thats kind of the only one I can recall
I mean there is Inferno's funny multiplayer maps

warped yew
#

Cursed Halo?

little trench
#

ye

warped yew
#

Lol the first mod I saw was Halo 2 Rebalanced which is literally an overhaul and that's the mod im most excited for

#

It's not even out lol

little trench
#

havent really tried the rebalanced mods yet imo but I honestly wouldn't mind trying out halo 2 overhaul

#

rather not exp ptsd from jackals and horrible spawn camp mission once more

warped yew
#

Should check out the Halo 2 Rebalanced trailer. It's posted by Ruby of Blue

little trench
#

I guess the last thing I can mention which isn't halo related but it has halo maps and guns is definitely cursed dark souls

#

feels nice to clear out bosses with a plasma pistol lmao

warped yew
#

Lol ill check it out sometime

#

But I'll be happy to play a polished Arbiter and Oracle mission when H2R comes out. They made like 2 new cutscenes for Oracle

#

(The banshee cutscenes in Oracle)

#

i don’t see any tech support channel in here

#

why is halo infinite so laggy?? like suddenly in mp my game lowers to 15 frames and there’s NOTHING to change it back

#

it even persists into the main menu once i reset my game, changing graphic settings doesn’t change a thing.

crystal iron
#

bu others would be reporting it if so

hollow stone
#

if i leave it running for long enough it completely shuts off my display

#

im thinking something with vram ig

celest heron
crystal iron
#

it would be a novelty of course, the dual wieldin and vehicle damage in CE etc.

#

Halo CE was more methodical with its encounters and how you approached them. Halo 2-3 were more fast paced and you could easily go guns blazing most of the time

#

not sure I fully agree with that, but I understand where you're coming from

#

I mean you can feel it in the movement, CE was more slippery with its controls if that makes sense

#

yeah, and the longer shield recharge. but I find the beefier weapon toolkit allows for some combos/quick kills too

#

2, 3, your faster and you have a better control of your jumps and strafing strats

#

that you don't necessarily see in 2 and 3

hollow stone
#

plus driving in ce kinda sucks lmao

crystal iron
#

Skill issue

hollow stone
#

physics in general aged very poorly

crystal iron
#

Agreed

hollow stone
crystal iron
#

Thanks

warped yew
#

Lol

#

Atta boy Slide

crystal iron
#

I've had some utterly insane moments and encounters on CE last night and today, like I couldn't believe. I feel like as I got older I'm more tactical and able to think out the encounters. Absolutely shredding elites for fun

#

I’m jk btw but the driving is not as bad as most people make it out to be

hollow stone
#

i was playing it with my brother today and he died by jumping on top of a warthog lmao

crystal iron
#

It do be like that but I’m talking about the overall driving experience

hollow stone
#

bad

crystal iron
#

Aight

#

Idk maybe it’s cuz I played CE first which is probably why I’m so used to it. 15 years and you get use to it

#

I feel like that with CE, it's like a comfy battered old pair of trainers

#

(sneakers if you're american)

#

there's things it still does better than any other game imo, grenades are hilariously fun in it. Seeing 10 enemies come bursting out of a corridor you just chucked a plasma in never gets old, you don't have that same intensity of explosion in later titles

#

And every gun was actually usable and fun to use

#

amazing

#

I have been using the plasma pistol non stop last two missions

#

We didn’t have multiple guns that did the same thing the same way, every gun was unique

#

They really worked on making them all viable

#

I get the feeling it's MP balancing that nerfed them all

#

Yeah

#

and yeah I often think some games can overload on multiple weapon types. I play a lot of Doom mods, brutal doom and offshoots and some of them go too far with TOO MANY weapons

#

Doom was amazing because of it's really tight weapon selection, everything had its use

#

I love Reach, but there are about 4 guns in that I have literally never used, short of trying them out once the first playthrough

languid remnant
#

anyone got a clue on how to forge in H5 PC without crashes?

tulip tusk
#

can do nice jumps n spins

crystal iron
#

I tail slid into two elites earlier on Silent Cartographer

#

never gets old ^^

#

Also, every marine survived the beach! On legendary! I realised the grunts are more dangerous to marines a lot of the time cause of grenades

hollow stone
#

this sucks man.

#

halo infinite cant even run anymore and i cant refund it since ive played for 4 hours

crystal iron
#

have you tried your google fu to see if anyone had similar issues?

#

Or tried the Steam forums?

hollow stone
#

yeah both

#

no one has the same issue ☹️

crystal iron
#

ugh, it's horrible when you get a random issue and cant explain it. Part of the curse of PC

#

I had a similar issue a few weeks back and couldn't resolve it, and nobody out of hundreds on a discord server could explain it or help fix it

#

on a different game that is

#

just kept crashing with access violation errors

#

had to uninstall it in the end and gave up

#

have you tested other games to make sure it isn't a system/hardware issue and not a specific game problem? Process of elimination can give clues

hollow stone
#

oh yes i found the issue

#

i opened up my computer and my graphics card is hot as hell

crystal iron
#

ah there we go

hollow stone
#

there’s a build up of dust on the fans

crystal iron
#

naughty naughty!

#

I clean my rig once a week, which is overkill I know but SO important to keep her dust free!

hollow stone
#

i don’t own a air blower thing

#

yeah ngl i only peeped at it once, had it for a year and a half

crystal iron
#

clean it at least once a month

#

I use an electric compuclean blower

#

but I also wipe all the available surfaces inside with a microfibre

#

it's better to keep it maintained, than to have to sort a buildup later. That can allow dust to get trapped/possibly sticky with air mopisture and become very hard to remove

#

if you weren't sure of the temps, I assume you aren't using a monitoring/fan curve software either? I would look into that if I were you

U can create a clan or u can ask to join one

Or try out for a clan

warped yew
frosty condor
#

New leadership, new vision, new game, same Halo

#

That's what I'm hoping for

warped yew
#

Yeah cuz Microsoft has been sabotaging this game from the very start

#

Contracted devs, massive layoffs, etc

#

That 343 employee who got covered by Mint Blitz and Xperia sent out a tweet has shed so much light on the cluster heck development

amber badge
#

U can tryout for clans and have clan battles with ur clan members

#

And we do free halo tournaments so ppl can win money

#

Playing halo with ur best friends or clan members

frosty condor

warped yew
#

Sad 😔

#

I hope Microsoft just changes their business ways or whatever for the better, but that probably won't happen

frosty condor
#

If the rumor is true about unreal engine, devs can fall onto that engine way quicker than the slipspace engine

warped yew
#

Ok let's hope the massive layoffs don't happen again lol

crystal iron
#

I don't really get the whole hitbox argument against playable elites in hopefully infinite and future halo games

#

If you can shoot an elite in firefight just fine then you can shoot one being played by a person

#

Only difference being they might be zig zagging and jumping more

magic night
#

The hitbox stuff had issues in 3 that made them annoying to deal with. In Infinite, they don't have the same issues with holes in their hitboxes and massive flinching swinging their heads around. They would technically be easier to hit in Infinite since they're taller and bulkier so elite players would be at a disadvantage.

crystal iron
#

i just don't see how it can be seen as an overall negative of a feature

#

people would use it because it's cool and maybe it would have bonuses that a spartan would not have

magic night
#

Bonuses is exactly why it would be a negative

#

There shouldn't be any differences outside of cosmetic. Anything that confers a gameplay advantage is undesirable.

crystal iron
#

then why not just have it so that they aren't part of any competitive mode

#

elites are a fun feature people want, so why not just cut out the middle man and have them not be involved in competitive modes or events unless they are wanted to be involved

#

or maybe in something like the match composer you could have it so that you prefer a match without elites

tulip tusk
#

Yeah would be fun to just add them. In reach cgb nowadays there are modes that auto seat both teams to Elite, so itselite vs Elite anyway people want to play that way

#

Same thing with more weapons and vehicles

warped yew
#

Nah I'm jk I know this was fixed

crystal iron
#

i just miss them

#

Jega's armor was cool

tulip tusk
#

Yeh

crystal iron
#

i want to put the ranger helmet on it with the same color scheme

warped yew
#

Literally playable elites could just be a custom games browser thing and a forge exclusive

crystal iron
#

it would make me happy to see them either way

warped yew
#
  1. Custom mission campaigns would be cool with them
crystal iron
#

i put an image of that elite i described in the show and tell if you want to see that

warped yew
#

Nice

civic sundial
crystal iron
#

thank you

warped yew
#

Yeah they should just be custom game and forge exclusive tbh

#

But hey, if you pick to choose an elite in ranked, that's gonna be your fault

civic sundial
#

I think for Elites to return to being playable, they'll need to spend extra time making sure they're balanced from a casual perspective (Let's be real, pros won't play them)

crystal iron
#

and i agree with you

warped yew
#

Yeah and pros won't touch a majority of the sandbox besides precision and power weapons but doesn't mean half the sandbox should be cut

civic sundial
#

But also give the next game two campaigns, one following Chief, the other Jega where he's dealing with rogue Banished clans that are planning to usurp Atriox and Promethean forces on Zeta Halo

crystal iron
#

i just think when it comes to fan service and amount of general fun you can have with it, it would be a worthwhile addition

civic sundial
#

Like, for what I said, you kinda need playable Elites

crystal iron
#

yeah

#

and all the cool customization that could be done with them

formal condor
#

Hello guys 🙂 its there any reward in multiplayer for campaign?🙂

warped yew
#

But there should still be the option to just use your elite in the MP.

  1. Its not gonna be 343's fault, it gonna be the player
  2. Let the players just do stuff
crystal iron
#

yeah

warped yew
formal condor
#

Thy. Still buy and play 🙂 my first game from Halo universe and i absolutely love it 🙂

crystal iron

civic sundial

#

if there are going to be developer panels at the championship thing then i hope someone will ask about elites

civic sundial
#

Someone asks every year I'm pretty sure

crystal iron
#

i've never been able to go so i wouldn't know

#

hopefully the response is what we are hoping it to be

would make my year a whole bunch better

None of those games flopped

Yes they did

The really didn't lol

crystal iron

In money?

coarse dagger
#

They were all financially successful games

crystal iron
#

I think she’s talking about the overall loutlook on this game

#

Like what the mass majority thought of them

warped yew
#

Yes

#

Can't believe the only thing that factors if these games were good or not is money

coarse dagger
#

That's not what I said. Halo 4 was well praised for its story/campaign and 5 is still highly rated for its multiplayer and Forge.

warped yew
#

That's why I said the majority

#

The majority hated those games

coarse dagger
#

I don't think you have the statistics to back that claim up

warped yew
#

I actually liked 5's MP but it didn't hold it's playerbase longer than halo 3's which still had a larger playerbase at the time

#

Same with 4, in the span of month, the playerbase dwindled

coarse dagger
#

Different time, different player base, different saturation of games on the market at the time

warped yew
#

To be more specific, I'm saying I'm approaching the game as if I was there at launch day

tulip tusk
warped yew
#

A larger sandbox yeah

onyx latch
#

Halo was being considered a relic by the time Reach rolled around due to CoD's runaway success.

warped yew

Well I'm just talking about the playerbase population

onyx latch
#

And I'm talking about the reality of the gaming industry and people's hilariously inflated expectations irrespective of reality not syncing :>

the FPS landscape is so horribly filled with esports focused mindset.

We need games with fun first presentation thats fun for everyone.

warped yew
#

Yeah true. Not only that, the market is filled with a bunch of FPS

kind rose
#

Single player FPS games should also have higher focus

kind rose
#

lot of features we had on 360 were just gone

#

whether halo 4-infinite “flopped.” Im not gonna say it did because everyone will fight over it anyway

What i will say was that these games were not the peak of gaming in that decade

warped yew
#

Definitely not lol

kind rose
#

Theres a lot to learn how infinite can improve…. just depends if any of those lessons matter ig

#

games like Space Marine 2 imo are the pure example of what i want halo to be like which is just fun

#

(and make good story presentation)

tulip tusk
#

Space Marine 2s campaign is so cool I had a lot of fun with it especially towards endgame

#

It reminded me of some Halo3 levels too

#

Like the Covenant where diff teams, Elites, Johnson, chief take down those relays

kind rose
#

my biggest complaint with infinite was just the lack of moments in scale ig

kind rose
#

Also just majorly helps world building in the 40k lore

I want that same world building treatment in Halo’s next campaign

tulip tusk
#

Yes!! Wanna see UNSC in full force

onyx latch
#

I mean, that's what I miss from 5, lmao

wheat saddle
#

tbh not the devs fault for listening to the people who calls the shots from 343i. Old management was terrible for the last decade. Cant see how the environment fosters a good game

A coop game similar to 40k’s darktide sounds like a cool idea to me

classes of different race and roles fighting off a flood contamination

tulip tusk
#

Yeah the fighting off swathes is fun

#

Spartans kicking flood forms and exploding them lol

onyx latch
#

A Spartan IV, an Elite Ranger, a Brute Captain, and... IDK, a fourth thing.

#

Generic character archtypes, a'la Darktide, with multiple voices to pick from.

kind rose
#

Jackals, Skirmishers, Marine/ODST/grunts

onyx latch
#

Nah.

#

Doesn't really match the threat scaling because they're all chumps in Halo.

kind rose
#

I mean this isnt warhammer where we have to be super accurate on the power scaling

Plus just reusing spartans is repetitive.

onyx latch
#

Honestly, putting a brute and elite on the list is just being nice, the only physical threat that consistently threatens any rank of Spartan is either a named brute or elite who pointedly has the best gear they can get, or a hunter.

onyx latch
#

... You are joking, right?

kind rose
#

about spartans in every halo game kinda repetitive? yea. im serious

onyx latch
#

Uh, no, the powerscaling thing. 40K's powerscaling is awful because of how inconsistent it is.

warped yew
#

Spin off games would be perfect to do no spartans

onyx latch
#

It's literally one of the most constantly memed about things in the setting.

kind rose
onyx latch
#

... Darktide went off the rails, though.

#

Not rlly

#

Like, a lot. Especially with what we know of the enemies you fight.

kind rose
#

most of the minibosses are captain guardsman

onyx latch
#

A beast of nurgle is considered a threat that a squad of SM struggle with.

kind rose
#

and ur in a mix team

onyx latch
#

It's like that stupid Krieger shovel meme, where people who only get their lore from memes kinda aren't in on the joke.

#

Halo's power scaling is relatively consistent by comparison. Spartans mulch pretty much everything below a hunter in melee to the point of a half-crippled IV gutting a brute with her bare hands and only losing to Jega because her radar was broken and couldn't warn her anymore.

kind rose
#

The Spartans can do pretty much everything

#

There are situations where a group of ODSTs can handle an elite.

Theres no real book saying “this can do this but cant kill that”

#

343 can introduce a whole new set of enemies and there will always be a lore implication how Spartans or UNSC weapons can take them down.

#

with warhammer its limited because its designed that way and will always be criticized in power scaling because the Table Top board game, the lore building, and Video game logic are 3 different things you’d have to spend hours researching books and codexes just to figure out if 4 rejects with different professions can beat a beast of nurgle in a game about Nurgle.

Hm yeah there aren't many things above spartan in power. Brutes and the Didact ?

#

Space Marines are tough but there are Primaris Marines and chapter leaders and huge xeno hulks, and lots of daemons. Then the demigod Primarchs of course

#

I wonder if a wh40k game will feature a primarch i was wondering if the Ultramarine primarch would appear maybe he is too OP

#

I mean, it’s a trivial to pit a Spartan against a space marine especially the Salamanders because they humble themselves

dusky nova
#

In media like games, obviously there's some creative liberties used just to make the format work

#

But the books? My god...

kind rose
#

i believe its hard to make a really good adaptation, theres just so much to get right into a new format

#

Most fans probably only know 10% of the lore which is a lot but not the whole thing

dusky nova
#

The main thing people bring up in the books is how there's absolutely no consistency about how strong each faction should be.

I remember one author got absolutely lambasted for how he was having basic Imperium stuff just slaughter aspect warrior aeldari like they were cannon fodder

#

Eldar on tabletop and in RTS games: Die a lot to make the game work, sure

In most lore? Nah. No way. Eldar are basically such masters of war and value life in such high regard that this would NEVER happen. They'd sacrifice a planet if it meant securing a few soul stones. Generally, aspect warriors are so strong that they'd trump astartes. Not in raw power, but just through skill/finesse

#

There's also the complete inconsistency of astartes themselves. Some lore states that 100 space marines are enough to conquer a planet and they're just walking one-man armies. Meanwhile other stories just have them getting slaughtered left and right by basic stuff.

As Trenchbird said, 40k power scaling is notoriously one of the most inconsistent out there when it comes down to it. So I'd never even think to use it as an example of consistent scaling.

I just realized that I don't need to hit par time on Legendary on every single level for Halo: CE for "Goat Roped", since I already have a buffer of 5 minutes since the par times total to 2 hours and 55 minutes, plus I don't tend to beat a level right on the buzzer, so I have yet more breathing room for harder levels when I finsh the easier ones faster.

If I don't hit par time for a level on Legendary, I can instead hit par time on Easy, which will be easier.

Why is everyone on Twitter complaining about the mention of Spartans indoctrinated in the Bansihed from the Halo lore post? I know it’s ODST’s 15th birthday but maaaan, people complain too much about the lore

There wasn't even Banished Spartans in the short story

#

Janissaries are an attempt by Venesia to make their own augmented soldiers. Sure some are working for the Banished but they're not Spartans

#

And given how effective a Spartan can be in combat, it makes sense that those not aligned with the UNSC would want their own super soldiers

edgy forum
#

Yeah, I’ve heard rumors of defecting UNSC troopers which we just had the Banished Honor operation in May. This excerpt was a year before the Battle of Installation Zeta. So I’m guessing they’re abducting young people or people defecting to be Janissaries.

#

Theres a lore disconnect between what casual players see/knew about the halo lore vs the people who read books.

#

Most people who complain dont read the lore, don’t understand that spartan 4’s can become innies because this idea is totally non-existent in the games. Which i argue shouldnt be the player’s responsibility when this game started out with the integrity of being a video game

I love reading, I would gladly take time off from a game to read up on some background instead of an abundant amount of information or little thrown at me. A very strong case would be World of Warcraft.

Yeah, but I don't want to play the regular maps.

They should have made the Reach maps a thing you can toggle in the Firefight playlist like the Gruntpocalypse and Fiesta.

#

Same with the Halo 3 Refueled maps being a playlist toggle. Both were fun and should have been kept.

analog salmon

if you could select what maps you wanted to play queue times would be abysmal

the dev made vs community split for the traditional PVP modes is a good middle ground if you ask me

Hmmm maybe tag the Reach FF maps with the tag “Reach” for matchmaking, can send that as a feedback to one of the threads here on the server.

warped yew
#

Map voting system 👆

pure vault
# analog salmon the dev made vs community split for the traditional PVP modes is a good middle g...

The problem with that is that most of the maps in the Firefight playlist are community made. Sure, it'd help eliminate the non-remake maps from the playlist, but I'm sick of using the older maps as a way to grind to Hero rank. I don't want to keep quitting matches early and getting temp-banned until I find a map I want.

Also, I'm not saying select individual maps, just that the maps that were bundled together in an event playlist. They were already a whole separate playlist before. Converting them into a tag that you can include or exclude when searching for Firefight matches isn't going to kill the queue time drastically. Same with the old Refueled Playlist. It existed as a whole playlist, making it a tag in the standard 4v4 playlist won't kill the game.

pure vault
#

That's also why custom game voice chats are ruined. You can only talk to everyone in a game if everyone has that setting turned on. If one person has it set to only hear teammates, it ruins it for everyone. A lot of FFA customs have been ruined because of this, as it being turned on is a default option.

analog salmon
#

yeah but where does it end

pure vault
analog salmon

what if they add more maps in a playlist, does every group of maps in a playlist get its own option?

I forgot where you send the feedback on here

analog salmon
#

game has a dwindling population so i dont think they're adding options to the composer for maps beyond the options currently for pvp

pure vault

#

the logic behind PVP playlists having the split is community maps are generally not the same quality in terms of competitiveness to 343's maps

that doesn't apply to PVE

I can think of a good way to make them bend their knee to us and bring back map voting. We make it a trend for everyone to quit matches early if it is a map they don't like. Sure, we'd get temporarily banned for leaving early, but if all their matches get keep getting ruined because of majority of players only playing maps they want, then they will have no choice but to bring back map selection.

Anyone else wonder if 343s blatant ignoring cheaters in Halo Reach 1/2/3 is their attempt at funneling more players to Halo Infinite/4&5? Outright shameful response so far.

Artifice has released Regicide as a new game mode for Halo Infinite. Halo 4 fans know what's up. But in case you don't:
-The points leader is the King and each kill the King gets increases their bounty.
-Kill the King to collect that bounty.
-Assassinate the King for an extra pay-out.
-The King earns powerups the longer they stay alive.

Works on any map

# warped yew Me personally, I hope the next game puts a focus on all 3 sides focusing on what...

Honestly I wish to see a helldivers 2 esque ODST horde shooter, no shields, no fancy Mjolnir, four way battles would be pretty awesome in a game like that. Just regular ODSTs in a giant horde shooter, make it a little tactical but keep it fun, make it so aiming down sites is actually a thing instead of helmet magnification, add in some form of Squad/Arma realism to it and it'd sell like hotcakes.

#

Could be a bit like Enlisted, if you die you replace with a member on your NPC ODST squad, when they all die your done unless you get some sort of "respawn" like a teammate calling in reinforcements akin to helldivers 2 respawning.

@HALO #RANKED DOUBLES BALANCING# -- I was told to post here by halo support. I'm hoping we can get some eyes from 343 on an easy fix issue for ranked doubles. If anyone here likes doubles please thumbs up or chime in. The issue is the player respawn timers being way too fast at 4 seconds. It takes away any of the finesse and dynamics that makes doubles a good game type. By the time you finish a team fight, or sometimes before, people are already spawning up and cleaning up kills from the previous fight with extreme ease. Especially with the teammate proximity spawn system in infinite. Pro players understand this, thats why they play with 8 second respawn timers when they do custom 2v2s with each other. Longer spawn timers will create a meta more along the lines of each team working together to out maneuver each other, fight, then reset the map after the fight. This gameplay loop makes for a more engaging teamwork experience.

#

It also adds a layer of finesse to spawn trapping, forced split spawn, and map control because after a clean wipe of the enemy team you can't immediately sprint at spawn points to keep up pressure or force split spawns, you need to account for the spawn timer and time your pushes more accurately. Whereas with 4s spawns you can pretty just ape spawns immediately after a wipe and it leads to more of a scrappy less tactical experience where. This chaos is only exacerbated by situations where enemies spawn before your fight is even finished and get free clean ups, effectively negating any reward for coming out on top in those scrappy engagements. Its crazy how often someone will spawn up with a direct or almost direct sightline to clean up a one shot from the previous fight. Doubles shouldn't be a chaotic mode, especially not ranked.

#

Considering the population of the game I'm sure many of us would like an improved experience in this playlist so we can queue up with a friend and enjoy some competitive halo outside of the 4v4 ranked arena playlist. And despite what we all here about slipspace I have to believe this is an easy fix. 343 please show some love to your dedicated and dwindling competitive player base. We're already pushing through this EAC bug, making custom game and competitive 4v4 series a slog.

Halo 4 brought the covie back as enemies and didnt bother doing anything new with them besides make them look insane

#

For another faction they really needed more stuf that made them stand out more

civic sundial
#

To be fair, they were there so that there was a familiar foe for the player to fight before being introduced to the new threat of the Promethean constructs

#

Changing everything about how they fight wouldn't make sense when the new foes are there to change things up

magic loom
#

Its a new faction of the covenant just where is the creativity? have them be memorable and stand out and fun to fight

#

No Brutes, no drones, no skirmishers. They could of brought in some cool new members like the Drinol back in some way

#

Halo 4 was a failure in many ways but cant help but think is that really all they could of came up with?

#

My personal favourite moment in Halo 4 was the Broadsword mission, its a nice take on a space mission like Reach

civic sundial
civic sundial
#

Like, sure it would've been nice to see Brutes, Drones and Skirmishers, but bringing those enemies back is hardly as creative as creating a whole new faction of enemies to fight, which is what the Prometheans were

#

And even then, back in 2010-2012 (The time between Halo Reach and Halo 4's release), people were not fans of fighting Drones and Brutes, due to how annoying they were to fight in previous games, 343 likely didn't bring them back for Halo 4 for those reasons

magic loom
#

This creative new faction was indeed creative but ultimately was awful

#
  • Is it fun having your sticky grenade about to stick a knight only for it to be caught by a watch and thrown back at you?
  • You cant even tell what weapon they are holding and their ranks.
#
  • Is it fun having you almost kill a Knight and have him randomly teleport away from you without a hint he will teleport away?
#

  • Is it fun to have almost kill a watcher until he flies away all the time?

  • Is it fun to have your assassinations cancelled by a Knight?

  • Is it fun having Knights come back from the dead, revived by watcher?

I will say its good to have unpredictable behaviour if it is readable in some way

This stuff is the reason so many dont miss promeatheans

#

I can tell you as well from experience, these are my honest thoughts as well

civic sundial
# magic loom "you need to adapt and adjust your strategy accordingly to what you're fighting"...

This does apply to the Prometheans. If you are not familiar with them, there is going to be a learning curve, but once you know their dance, they're nowhere near as bad as you are making them out to be. You see a watcher, you make sure it's no longer on the board. You need to actually read each encounter and figure out how to beat it. You cannot just bullrush and expect it to work every time

magic loom
#

You cant learn something that has random patterns, wouldnt that lead to guessing and luck?

#

It easy to tell this did not work which is why they polished them up in Halo 5

#

Im very curious what was peoples thoughts on Halo 5s Promeatheans?

#

I have alot to say about them but not sure hard to say

keen silo
#

I liked the introduction of their weak points. That was neat.

What I enjoy about the Promeatheans is that seemingly “random” move set. It keeps the player on their toes, which I enjoy. Sure it’s annoying at times but it keeps me more engaged than having them being predictable and easy to read. If I wanted to play against predictable enemy AI, I’d play CoD or anything by Bethesda

magic loom
#

I will correct I think what I said about wanting them to be predictable, more along the lines the subtle hints telling what they will do

#

It can be a difficult thing to precisely nail right but proven in Halo 1, 2 and 3 and also Halo Infinite stuff like that can be done right

civic sundial
# magic loom How can there be a learning curve with most of the attacks are random and unpred...

Do you know exactly when an Elite is going to throw a plasma grenade? Or when a Grunt is going to pull out two grenades and run at you? Those are random behaviours that you can see in Covenant enemies, you have to adapt to that and react accordingly. Yet somehow, Prometheans being able to teleport is something that stumps you so hard you can't figure out how to fight them? An ability that is very clearly telegraphed to the player via animations and effects, is what stumps you?
