Frank O'Connor “Extremely Happy” With Infinite’s Multiplayer
- Thread starter Cranster
- Start date
I have also liked every flavor of Halo MP so far. Some more than others, of course, but I have enjoyed them all.
Halo 2 and Halo 5 are my favorites.

Weird that the article doesn't reference the whole point of the linked Twitter thread: that some vocal people want Halo 3's feel to return, and that's what Frank was specifically replying to. Interesting.
Also lol at this:

Yes, keep enhanced mobility. Halo 5 is the best feeling Halo by a mile.
Filthy casual confirmed or whatever.
This. Please don't waste my screen with that shit. I want my OLED to be fully utilised.
Gimme a mix between Reach-Halo2-Halo5 and I'll be happy.
Also, bring back Warzone because Warzone was FUCKING FUN!

This. hate the stupid visor around the edge of the screen. Makes me feel like im looking out of a fucking submarine window. Kills FOV.
I've been playing a lot of MCC lately. While I loved Halo 2 and 3, I don't think I need more of it. I don't know that a new Halo game with that pace would do well. I think it would feel way too slow and stiff compared to today's games. I thought Halo 5 was a really solid foundation. I think there's changes that can be made to make it feel more like Halo, but I don't think they should swing the pendulum in the other direction and go back to just running around slowly with jumping.
Halo 2 plays radically different from Halo 3, but both are classic. I think that Halo 3 is often cited as the peak in the formula, not because of game feel alone, but because of features and the overall timing of when it was released. I don't think most people who want good classic Halo would prefer to emulate the feel of Halo 3 over 2.
Honestly, just up the standard run speed. There's no need for sprint.
Man sucks that they are probably gonna get rid of it because of people who are wrong, thats the best part in 5. At least DOOM Eternal knows whats up AIR DASHING SON.
Although I've only played a little bit of Halo 5 on PC forge mode since I didn't get an Xbox 1, I think this summarizes the issues with the new mobility systems.
I'll take it a step further and say that if you wanna get rid of sprint you might as well go full Quake and have bunny hops and speed meters
Don't need enhanced mobility if the base speed is fast enough and the maps are designed accordingly.
For reference, it takes the same amount of time to sprint around Truth as it does to "walk" around Midship/Heretic. Yeah, that enhanced mobility sure does speed up the game.

are they the same exact size? Is Sprint the entirety of enhanced mobility?
Halo 5 had some of the best mobility in the serious and felt very responsive and fluid while still requiring some skill to perform the trick jumps that make Halo's map traversal so fun. My only issue with Halo MP in general is that the whole Arena FPS genre isn't very popular anymore and I think in order for Halo to position itself as a MP giant, it will have to reinvent itself in one way or another. My suggestion would be to make it a Hero shooter skin to Overwatch, Siege and BO4. I think a Halo with the core mechanics of 5 and the additional depth of heros would work great it executed properly.
It's hard to really extract anything meaningful from this statement. While what 343 has shown and has talked about regarding Infinite has been encouraging, they've fumbled the ball too many times for me to give them the benefit of the doubt. I'm fully expecting Halo 5's gameplay with some tweaks, which I would not at all be a fan of.
An easy way to solve that problem is simply to have a fast base movement speed. In the context of Halo, there is literally nothing that Sprint accomplishes that could not be similarly accomplished by having the player's base mobility go at a decent clip, and Sprint introduces more problems too.
Nah, that's just preference. I've played 172 hours of Halo 5 and I think it feels amazing to sprint and clamber around the maps. I love classic Halo feel too but I'd be very disappointed if they went back to a slower, less dynamic traversal system.
I mean...yeah? It's not like he's going to pull a David Pridie and tweet "oh hey guys, I know I'm the development director for this franchise and everything, but I gotta say, this multiplayer of ours kinda blows".
I don't necessarily mean Sprint. They could take that away and I wouldn't mind. I more mean stuff like the boost jets that allow short dashes in directions. I think that's an awesome movement aspect of 5.
No, Truth is bigger than Midship/Heretic which is exactly my point. Truth is a remake of those two maps and made bigger to accommodate sprint.
And obviously sprint isn't all of enhance mobility, but it's a huge one.
I'm just hopeful that Infinite's multiplayer might have a presence among my friend group where Halo 5 was dead on arrival from a combination of my circle being lapsed Xbox owners and also Halo 5 dropping split-screen. Play Anywhere, split-screen and xCloud might resuscitate this a bit among my friends.
Keep enhanced mobility indeed. I'm ready to flight test this thing.

Yeah, there's room for improvement. I just don't want to go backwards to losing the enhanced mobility completely.
lol, y'all are just gonna have to just let this one go. Sprint-and-vault Halo is here to stay.
You'll always have MCC.
