Can't believe they got rid of the Halo 5 pistol :( AR starts are garbage as a result.

Did they remove the sprint preventing your shields from regening? That's pretty lame if that's the case.

Looks good. Don't think I like the outlines but otherwise very positive.

God this MP looks like a perfect mix between the elements I liked from Halo 5 and what I liked about the classic Halo games.

This looks good. One of my biggest fears about Infinite was that the speed of Halo 5 would be gone, but this seems like a perfect blend of classic and modern gameplay. Being able to tap fire the AR to get reliable kills at range, the needler looks lethal, the TTK seems on average faster than other Halos... I am so excited.

i just saw a moment where the yellow recharge timer bar seemed paused and did not progress again until they stopped sprinting
so unless it was just coincidental timing it looks to me like that has indeed made a return from h5
which is cool

Jesus Christ that footage looked good. And it helps to see a top player, too.

Good if that's the case. Don't want a repeat of Reach and Halo 4 where a dude I'm shooting at bolts without consequence.

I think the "figuring out how it can work in Halo Infinite" may be a part of that :P
on in social off in ranked
there...now it works in halo infinite
or just make it optional like before?

the reason they gave for not including them cited gameplay concerns in getting them to fit within infinite's game balance because while the flourish is fun, serious players tend to turn them off due to their detriment to gameplay
if theyre concerned with how it affects gameplay then make it an option or make a ranked social split either way it doesnt seem like the gameplay problem they make it out to be

Yeah, the sidekick looked pretty fast and spammy as opposed to being about precision and headshots.

I hope BR starts are a thing in social. Seems they are pushing a ranked/ social divide heavily but you can have casual games even with precision weapon starts.
