Yeah as said it's likely concern trolling but the alternative would be sad.

Rumored HALO INFINITE leaked image & info (Grapple Hook, Semi-Open World, Etc)
- Thread starter DemonCarnotaur
- Start date
The slow moving and no sprint is kind of pivotal to the objective modes of overwatch. Your aren't supposed to be able to jet back to the payload after your whole team is wiped.
also Doom moves just as fast as sprint in halo if not faster so what's the difference
Your weapon is up all of the time and you're not punished for moving at a respectable speed. They should just remove sprint and make BMS faster.
i mean, slower movement was pretty pivotal to halo's flow for a long time, too.
and there's a huge difference between base movement speed - which allows you to shoot and use all your abilities - and a dedicated sprint mode. i'm sure you'd agree that doom would play fundamentally differently with sprint.
and besides, that's just sprint--what about ADS?
Grapple would be hilarious in a Halo game. No way that's actually a mechanic. Or maybe there's a new Ninja Spartan suit.
ADS in H5 is nearly entirely cosmetic. Works both ways in that case: why have it at all, etc.
I feel like I explored just fine in Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3 without the need for a grapple hook.
I'm not saying it's bad. Nowhere did I say adding a grapplehook is a bad idea. I'm just saying that's not "going back to our roots". There was nothing "gadgety" about Halo CE. It was an AR/Pistols game with great map design.
eh, it's less cosmetic than i'd like--or, at least, it was when i last played h5. i remember it having a pretty significant impact on spread for the SMG in particular.
regardless, i just prefer it when shooters emphasise hip fire over ADS. always have, really, even if i've enjoyed the odd call of duty from time to time.
i really have no problem with the idea of halo changing - like, a grappling hook? could be loads of fun! - but not if those changes primarily consist of it borrowing stuff from call of duty just 'cause that was the done thing for a while.
Aye, it affects spread on autos, but I've never felt it unduly powerful/imbalanced/necessary. I completely agree with hip-fire over ADS, and H5 still hits that note for me. I'm assuming Infinite will be similar, tbh.
Sure.
I don't find a grapple hook to be that innovating. I just don't want a new Halo game that focuses less on gun gameplay and more on gimmicks (like i'd argue 343 titles do). Halo 5 was fine, but that's the peak of innovation i'd want in a Halo title, as far as all the other gimmicks they added in. When I think of "going back to our roots" I think simpler. Nothing simple about adding a grapple hook in. We know nothing yet, so I was just making an observation.
I just hope the maps are as iconic as the trilogy. I played every single Halo and I can't remember the name of any map from Reach to 5. Aside from Swordbase. Maybe if I saw the screenshot of a map I could visualize the layout and spawns, but I couldn't name it to save my life.
Now The Pit? Lockout? Blood Gulch? Iconic. Best maps in FPS.
Now The Pit? Lockout? Blood Gulch? Iconic. Best maps in FPS.
And now that I think about it, with the timing of Gen Y and Gen Z I can see it being very important to both.
That totally makes sense. I can understand that.
Blood Gulch slander will not be tolerated. Lol. It might've been the map that ignited my preference for shooting games in general. I love maps like Beaver Creek too, but that shit would not work with abilities. Sprinting to the next base when it's five feet away? I'm good.
So it looks like Halo Infinite may indeed be Open World or have some Open World elements given the Grapple Hook and the Compass at the top.
To this day, the original Halo 3 leak with that music is still my absolute favorite and most memorable, while also driving my hype through the fucking roof.
And also why the Kill Bill soundtrack sounds so wrong to me now.
ALSO IF THIS IS REAL AND NON REGENERATING HEALTH IS BACK IN THE GAME THANK YOU
Hear me out Stinkles. Ok so Buck and Tanaka fall into some mutating ooze ala TMNT and develop superpowers. ...
Warlocks are like the Zoidbergs of the Destiny universe. Sure, they're part of the team... But are they?

more Blink like Corvo Attano tbh, but i was mostly joking
now, Emily's Far Reach - by way of a grappling hook - on the other hand...
Lol. That's my fetish!
For real though, I love hookshots, grapples and swinging in every damn game. Love that shit. I'm also hoping BOTW 2 adds a hook shot this time around as well.
I never ads and I'll always top the charts. That complaint has always been bullshit
Animal Crossing? Flower? Math Blaster? TETRIS?
Shower With Your Dad Simulator?
whenever I think of the 343's halo games it makes me a little sad bungie wanted to put the story to an end with 3/reach and I've never felt attached to the series since.
if the gameplay Is diverse enough and somehow manages to justify its existence i'll pay more attention even if the game does turn out good I still feel they could just as easily break away from halo with this but I guess the brand carry's to much money.

mate, i'm not nearly as fussed about competitive advantage as i am about the way it feels to play. i mainly play campaign, after all. no need to be so aggro.
i prefer it when shooters are designed around a bunch of the guns not having sights. simple as.
My post wasn't aggro at all. Sorry you read it that way. Halo 5 could be played exactly like the first 3 concerning movement and shooting. That's why I call that argument bullshit when people bring that up.
I like the Halo 5 sniper, hate the BR's look, pistol could look and sound more powerful but the sniper was fine. As said it's literally the Halo 5 one and likely placeholder anyway. AR has 5's silhouette although we know they're going with the ugly Reach one.
Scoped weapons functioned exactly how they did in the past with hip fire and "ADS" increasing RRR, automatics just tightened spread but were largely different outside of that system anyway (they were actually viable for once). I don't like smart scope and hope it doesn't return in Infinite but the criticism on its impact is exaggerated.
This is the most logical thing to do but you know...
It must have sprint because other games do it!!!!
