That's a fucking dumb "feature". Warthogs need to be heavier and not be slowed down by fucking bullets. It's like Reach all over again, with DMR's able to flip the damn things.

I think kinetic force is imparted onto the hog from whatever direction it's coming from. Like if they're shooting at you head on you're going to slow down, but speed you up if they're team shooting you from behind?

Haven't seen too many examples of this and I've been running the fuck out of hogs in Warzone. They're a little bit floaty but I'm liking them overall. Just have to learn them a bit.

Should anyone honestly expect the force of bullets (which admittedly have a great deal of energy behind them, but very, very little mass compared to the warthog) hitting armor to slow the vehicle down?
Maybe something else was going on and I'm being retarded but something's fucky with the warthogs in this game.

As a day 1 player of Destiny (something I'm not exactly proud of) and Halo 4/5, you're legitimately retarded if you'd rather have 2015 Bungie than 2015 343 manning this series. Bungie died when Activision bought them.

21st century games are so complex and large that it gets exponentially more expensive to implement such features you take for granted.

I'm very excited for the new forge and so I buy req packs not just for the chance to see some of the new fresh content 343 has added to Halo but also to support them as they add these free features after release.

If you're whining about the state of the game and not buying more req packs you're just being a hypocrite.

>>122693173

> Actively listened to the community's suggestions in the beta

I assume this is why Warzone is still an absolute fucking mess and why people are still calling for blood about it, then.

343i might listen pretty well, but that doesn't change the fact that the game release failed miserably and was a pretty transparent effort to push REQ packs. I mean, fuck - how the hell do you justify a game launching with the absolute bare minimum of features ad adding them in later?

>>122693494

You don't trim basic features that have been the staple of a series for over six years and then flaunt them as DLC down the road.

>>122694314
Well yeah yoou have a gun now with the flag. It would be kinda stupid if the flag was still a one hit. Even then all you got to do is pop them once in the head after you slap them.

>>122694417
There are only two devs that made mainline Halo games: Bungie and 343. If you want Bungie games in 2015, you can either play the bloated carcass that is MCC, or you can play fucking Destiny, one of the biggest scams in gaming.

There's no option 3, it's either neo-Bungie or 343. And 343 is objectively better. I'm fine with people criticizing 343, hell I do it constantly, but don't be a picky faggot. I still remember people whining about the jet packs and armor skills in Reach, now it's suddenly OK. Fuck this fanbase.

>>122694970

>it's had a horrible impact on map design and game play.
How? Map design I can understand to an extent (though the selection isn't even close to as bad as base Reach or 4) but gameplay is fine, it's not just random ass features slapped into a match and actually interacts well with the gunplay of the game
Pistol duels in Halo 5 are the most fun 1 v 1's since BR combo duels in 2

The thing is: The Bungie-Halos didn't needed free maps. They just had maps in it.
343i-Games need maps badly. So fucking badly.

The maps that are now coming as "free DLC" are maps left out of the game to bring them as ree DLC to give idiots like yourself something to say "eh, it's not all bad!".

That's like EA bringing Pools in the Sims 4 in a free update...

I'm not saying it didn't get better, as they listened to feedback and improved the selection and the map packs also factored in, but the game at launch had a far worse map arsenal than Halo 5 does. Especially factoring in movement abilities

>>122695249
Sprint only adds mobility in forward direction and brings your gun down.
All it does is facilitate escaping engagements/getting caught out and forces maps to be bigger and have dead zones that only exist to sprint through.

Stuff like clamber is just retarded since the devs purposely make parts of the environment just high enough to be out of crouch jump range and force clamber. In a relatively fast paced multiplayer fps you shouldn't be forcing players into animations just to navigate environment.

Something like boost which is multi directional and short range could work and still feel like halo. It's not allowing players to fly around the map and adds to engagements and strafing.

I would like where the step from "Bungie-Halos maps" to "Reach Multiplayer" is coming from.

That's a difference of about 3 Games and a few dozen features.

>>122695967
I've personally always liked Reach, never thought it was the best Halo mp but I liked it for what it was.

At launch on Reach atleast Bungie managed to launch it with forge and proper gametypes and playlists, even if the maps were worse at launch.

>>122696081
>Sprint only adds mobility in forward direction and brings your gun down.
Trade off has nerfed it, and sprint speed is not very much higher than base movement either
>All it does is facilitate escaping engagements/getting caught out and forces maps to be bigger and have dead zones that only exist to sprint through.
Outside of that one BTB map released today and Warzone, I can't think of any dead sprint zones in any arena map in Halo 5
>Stuff like clamber is just retarded since the devs purposely make parts of the environment just high enough to be out of crouch jump range and force clamber.
Incorrect, you can still crouch jump over most clamber heights and it removes animation frame times. Crouch jumping is still a mechanic I use often
>>122696240
You said "Bungie Halo" and I responded with an example of a Bungie Halo. Unless you mean "Bungie Halos that aren't Reach" which is a very different thing.
>>122696376
I liked it a lot after the updates and map packs, but I think base Reach was the worst Halo multiplayer aside from base Halo 2 and Halo 4 in general (stopped playing 4 before the major updates so I don't know if it got any better)

>>122688074
im not that other person, but it does seem to be a culture around /vg/ that needs to be pointlessly negative. You just cant be happy unless you think everything is shit. Your point isnt valid unless you consider everyone a shill. So if a New game comes out, it must be complete horse shit and anyone that likes it is a marketer. If you are having fun youre a shitter and if you are disappointed, well youre just a seasoned veteran with a wealth of experience that isnt scared to weather the cold truths, and you should be proud of yourself since only your opinions, based on objective facts, matter. Though give it 5 years after new games come out and you can praise the game you hated at the time for being the best of the series. Because who cares, theres a new game to hate and everything that came before it will always be the better.

Higher base movement speed and sprint speed and thrusters. That doesn't just mean deadzones for sprinting, entire locations are just larger just to accomodate for thruster duels (a great strength of Halo 5) and the like

I feel like that just reinforces my point. I feel like bungie got spooked by COD etc and added it in reach and we'll never be able to close that box they opened.
>More skilljumps with new mobility options, even more when paired with crouch jumping
A better approach would be no sprint no clamber and just have directional short range boost. Keeps the good part of making duels more interesting could use it for skill jumps. Animation locks just suck.

I feel like I half agree with you, in that with sprint I doubt we'll get amazingly memorable maps like Lockout or anything but I still think sprint works in game as it is right now.
But let's be realistic: in a post CoD world we're not going to get a mainstream shooter without sprint simply because it'd alienate general audiences a lot.
>I feel like that just reinforces my point. I feel like bungie got spooked by COD etc and added it in reach and we'll never be able to close that box they opened.
Obviously not, lack of sprint was a complaint by casuals for quite a while
>A better approach would be no sprint no clamber and just have directional short range boost. Keeps the good part of making duels more interesting could use it for skill jumps. Animation locks just suck.
Crouch jumping letting you surpass animation lock creates a nice skill gap. Chaining them also obviously gives skilled players an advantage too. I don't really mind the animation lock so long as it's not some flashy "look at how mobile I am" thing, and as long as it's still possible to crouch jump. It was one of my biggest complaints in the beta because of how GP was binded to crouch, but I'm personally pleased with crouch jumping's return and its relationship with clambering.
Anyways, I'm going to go now, been great talking to you

>Your vehicle will spawn in 38 seconds

>>122708154
You're confusing "faster" with "sooner".
I still take xxx seconds to reload. The reload animation is not sped up by 60 fps.

Completely ignoring the fact, that between a button press and 60 fps the XBOX lies - which is the main factor in calculating button-action response time.

Go ask a pro gamer.
Everyone is going to say to you that your system is more important in calculating response time than your game and/or monitor.

>>122705320
Honestly I'd prefer it if you didn't. Nothing tactically demanding has to be done in campaign anyway.

>>122708453
Jesus Christ. If you want an ideal comparison: go play MGSV on 360 and then PS4/Bone and then ask yourself in what version did you aimed at targets faster? The 60fps versions will be the answer.

BTB is fun as fuck. Last two matches I went 15-4 and 17-6. Both on Recurve.

>>122708663
does legendary go back to checkpoint if anybody dies or if everybody dies?

>>122708867
exactly.
aim faster - that's a "sooner"
hit sooner. if you hit.
because the enemy has the same "advantage" in response time, meaning, while you're aiming faster, he is evading faster.

>only 30% done

FUCK DOWNLOAD THESE REQS FASTER ALREADY
WHY DO ALTERNATE PAINT SCHEMES TAKE 9GIGS OF SPACE ANYWAY

I never thought that 343 would kill my desire to play a Halo game as much as Halo 5 did. I thought Halo 4 was pretty bad, but Halo 5 is even worse.

Looking for group for big team
2/8.
Be there or be square

>cant play warzone assault correctly because of that bullshit exploit

>>122711129
I bought it, it couldn't be that bad right?
oh boy was I wrong

>>122710476
they play pretty well. the only one i dont like is the BloodGulch looking one.

>>122711243
What's the exploit?

big team fucking sucks

>>122711716
Halo 5 fucking sucks

>ground pound outside the enemy's armory to make the marines shoot the door
>bullets bounce back from wall back to marines
>marines die
>go to the roof of the armory to capture

The benefit is that the enemy team spawns back at their base, so when you kill them you can capture the spire/garage/fortress easily.

>>122711891
they'll probably start banning people/taking req points from people who do it constantly though, like idlers

>>122711864
buy more reqs

>>122710001
careful anon, one might think you're actually mad

>>122711891
and the timer for the first base gets reset, don't forget that.

>Halfway through match
>lost connection to server
do I just get nothing or does it give you some participation req?

>>122712041
They should ban them for 2 weeks~ or so, and remove a good portion of req.

>play first game of BTB
>only get 900 req points

>>122712184
If you need to actually glitch to beat people fucking about, who would you say the maddest bunch of the lot are? The people who can't beat the warthog racers or the racers?

>>122712204
mad
>They should ban them for 2 weeks~ or so, and remove a good portion of req.
Yeah devs should totally punish players for a mistake they made :^)
Are you twelve?

rank boosting in 3 is a mistake too, but people still got banned ;)

Neither
You clearly surpass them all

>>122712435
>people abusing a glitch in a competitive setting
>it's clearly an exploit
Think of all those poor people who are too retarded to figure it out

hol SHIT 20 bronzes and fucking four of them had permanents

>Haven't been on /hg/ for a week 'cause I was getting bored of Warzone grinding
>Find out BTB update is actually happening
>Downloading rn

Is it as good as we wanted it to be, senpai?

>>122712292
buy the reqs filthy goy

hello goyims, are there any warzone groups to acquire reqels with?

>>122712624
>needs to be played with a group unlike 4v4, which you can manage alone

>hg is shit

if you enjoy losing games sure btb is good

>>122712606
Some exploits stayed as features in some games. Exploits are bugs, bugs are things the devs should fix, you can't blame the player for finding the most efficient way to play your game, it's your fucking job to ensure that the most efficient way is fair and stay fair.

>>122712679
scratch that goyims, must download btb patch (finally 343)

>>122712624
I actually really like it, but people on hg got pretty salty after a while.

>>122712824
You are correct that it is on the developers to fix it, yes.
However, if you knowingly do something that is wrong, just because you can, you should face repercussions.

the key word there being "sounds"
it isn't
Flood isn't Infection either
