Frank O'Connor “Extremely Happy” With Infinite’s Multiplayer

How when we can play MCC at any time?
What modern shooter plays like Halo 5?
I'm a weirdo, I not only disliked enchanced mobility I hated 60FPS in Halo 5. Bring back 30 FPS and deliberate movement please, let it feel like Halo again.
That's why you innovate in other ways. That's what I loved about the improvements in Halo 2, 3, and even Reach. You had MM, Progression, Friends List, Theater, Forge, New Gametypes, and expansive gametype options.
The gameplay was good but it was that kind of stuff that added longevity to the game and made it stand out at the time.
H5 MP Gameplay is the pinnacle of Halo Arena MP Gameplay.
Infinite needs to much improve the "non-Arena" modes that also made previous Halo titles superior (as BTB, a real Firefight mode, Invasion) and most important of all: it needs original designed maps (and NOT copy-pasted and cringy Forge blocks everywhere).
This, coupled with the "New-Old" art style both for armors, weapons, model, color palette and sounds would make Infinite the top tier title of the entire series.
(as long as they also focus the entire Infinite Campaign on Chief as the only playable character of course, as it should be with all main Halo entries)

I'm the weirdo who likes both Classic and Halo 5 movement. I'd be happy with either as long as the maps are balanced for it. Classic is less sweaty.
The problem with 5 was its campaign, lack of good BTB maps and inconsistent Arena maps. It's fun to sprint, slide, jump and then pull off a 180 quick turn by boosting in the other direction. Takes some skill and patience to hit someone who's doing all that.
I do agree about the visor and general ADS messing up FOV. Serves no general purpose.
Most of all, game needs an option to select servers.

Just give me a copy of the game where I'm in it and I'm also invincible and I can just Spartan Charge through everybody

I edited the thread title to better reflect the contents of the post.
One of the main selling points not to get rid of Spartan abilities is the missed opportunity with them in the campaign. If Halo Infinite is going big outdoor environments, Spartan abilities could be a lot of fun. Problem with Halo 5 is that so much of the game was a corridor shooter with smaller scale battles. Throw a mobile MC in the middle of a large scale outdoor battle with some vertical structures and we could have a lot of fun.
Keep and get rid of enhanced mobility!
But seriously, trust is good, but get rid of grenade markers. Theyre like mini radars that do damage. Essentially, do Halo3 but with a tad bit faster player base movement, and better guns.
Pistol should not be all purpose. BR is all purpose, DMR is a worse sniper, assault rifle is a close range monster, etc etc
We didn't forget. It was cut quite late in the process and it's not something we'd ever have cut if we had the choice, and it's a feature that's always been near and dear to our hearts. It's a feature that benefits us, not just the users and there was no underlying cynical reason to remove it as I've seen suggested a couple of times (sell more consoles was a sillier one that ignored how ecosystems and siblings work among other things). Just standard shipping and development challenges. It would not have been trivial or quick to get it to where it needed to be, or we'd have tried to update. But it was one of the first commitments to the next game - in Halo 5 we uncovered emerging difficulties quite late, partly as a result of a normal production calendar, and so this time it is not going to be subject to the same schedule challenge. It's a huge amount of work, however, so never think it's trivial to add. Even if you ignore CPU and GPU horsepower, there are UI, design, networking and zillions of other challenges.
Halo 5 is the best feeling Halo, so please make sure we don't go back to OG Halo which I can't play anymore.
I still play Multi Halo 5 to this day.
The art style does need a overhaul though, I don't like the designs, lighting and environments in H5, its hard to explain, but feels.... blocky? Can't describe it, but not as natural as Halo 3 or Reach.

That's the point. Enhanced mobility not only negatively effects your ability to maneuver and engage in combat at the same time at all times but means all maps have to be enlarged to accommodate.
And to be honest, as someone who been there day one in CE, i always appreciated the split screen, but i never thought it would have had that big an impact on players in 2015. So i totally get how that feature could be cut and not really realize that it could have that big an impact.
But i dont agree with the original post, i dont think that that was even close to why some people didnt like 5. They just wouldnt have liked the same game, but with splitscreen.
Looking forward to it! As long as they don't neglect vehicles and big team I will be ok. Halo 5 multi was great but they negelected a few things I love.
Also, I want crazy physics and antics between the Spartan ability and vehicle interactions. I want to charge a warthog and roll it.

Every modern shooter plays like halo 5.
Replace fake-advanced mobility with actual advanced mobility - don't make me trade the ability to shoot for the ability to move quickly. Let me do both at the same time.
Halo 2 and Halo 5 have the best multiplayer in the series, so I hope 6 goes in the same direction.
You underestimate how much of Halo's success was due to split screen multiplayer. Even after Xbox Live was a thing!

Not entirely, the maps are a big disapointment. Halo 2 still has the overall best multiplayer maps with Halo 3 a close second.
Hopefully this game doesn't have another MCC launch, and hopefully the majority of reviews won't come from fucking press events.
There is only one thing I wish for Christmas, papa Stinkles.
And it is that Halo 2/3 fans never get the controls they want.

Oh no no, they need to enhance the mobility and speed the game up!
Sprint, ads, clamber, thrust- all contemporary mechanics from modern shooters. Idk why we always do this. It plays far more like those games than it does halo 1-3. Which was what I was responding to in the original comment. But please keep pretending that this is some off base position to be taking.
lmao. Play more shooters. Some how Black Ops 4, Battlefield V, and Titanfall 2 play just like Halo 5 even tho they all feel different from each other.
Lol they do are you serious with this? I own two of those games. They play far more like halo 5 than halo 5 does to halo 1-3 that they do to those games
There's literally no point engaging with this guy. He has very little understanding of how the game actually plays, at least that's the only way I can rationalise his arguments.
His entire argument consists of listing off a few mechanics which Halo 5 supposedly shares with other games with literally zero understanding of how those mechanics actually interact and affect the gameplay.
what the fuck? The only one of those that even maybe sort of comes close is Titanfall in the Titan and even then it's a stretch
hi yes hello i tried to email you my idea where master chief gets in a real pickle and has to participate in a sweet-ass high stakes motocross rally to ensure the future of mankind but it got bounced back to my address. this is very important i have a 500 page design document and i'm lubed up and raring to go to town on this idea please get back to me so we can discuss the terms.
it'll be easy because master chief already looks like a motocross man so we don't have to change the design and elites have big ol legs that are probably real good at gripping the bike but it probably makes it real hard to do tabletops and supermans and shit so that's a trade off also hoobastank needs to be on the soundtrack now i've got it on good authority that the hoobastank guy is probably way into videogames because he was in that sonic game so that shouldn't be a problem either.
