Just We need 2 more to be active.

We can hold 100 people so we don't have to be too picky

If you have friends who are getting it and are decent, let them know to request.

Good god no. That shite was just a sad imitation of h2.

I said "use as a foundation"
quote:

Essentially it was h2 with a lot more bullet magnetism,

With every new Halo game comes adjusted hit boxes and auto aim. They also always tweak it in an early update.
quote:

grenade markers,

I'm not a fan, but this is extremely minor compared to the addition of ADS and "abilities"
quote:

random interactive maps,

Interactive maps have worked well in Halo before. See: Relic and Standoff
quote:

and no button glitches.

There aren't any button glitches in H5, either.
quote:

halo 2 is my favorite halo,

Yet, you'd prefer Halo 5 to resemble COD:Halo Warfare more than Halo 2. interdasting.
quote:

also, I'm assuming you know all of the abilities can be cut off in custom games?

Christ, I'd hope so.
quote:

and in the arena, you only show up on the motion tracker when you sprint, thrust, and shoot.

That sucks. You should always show up, unless you're crouching.
quote:

and sprinting keeps your health/shields from recharging.

Yay?
quote:

I am a halo purist, but the way they have made the abilities either leave you more vulnerable/punish you at least gives me hope that they're focusing on one thing halo has been lacking for a while now, real decision making.

Why even have them at all?
quote:

Going for power weapons/powerups should always be a gamble, and 343 are finally making it a gamble to use your abilities.

Now I'm super excited!!!

As a Halo purist myself, I'd much prefer a super-sexy looking H2A type game with minor tweaks, rather than what it appears we are going to get.

As a Halo purist myself

don't call yourself that if you enjoyed standoff and motion tracker.

I'm still not convinced you know what aim down sights means.

you can say h5 is the same as h4 all you want, and while warzone certainly resembles it, the arena is based on balance and skill.

and yes, I'd rather not have abilities, but at least we know that there will be a skill gap with jumps again, which was not true at all in reach and h4 where some people could jetpack and others couldn't.
quote:

There aren't any button glitches in H5, either.

I only mentioned button glitches because they sped up the pace of gameplay in h2, and the lack thereof made the pace in h2a feel even slower.

Fact of the matter is, as much as I wish sprint and other abilities were not in the game, this will still be the most competitive basic slayer settings since halo 1, and that is really exciting. And christ I can't wait to learn power weapon nading on the new maps.

if h5 just increased base player speed, got rid of sprint, added static timers, and made the magnum a 4sk... oh well.

also, we should all be very grateful for a serious csr again.

Not enough time for that

I've been trying to replay the games on the MCC but I am quickly running out of time.

Also I hate to sound like a dick about that playlist, but technically ODST should start in the middle of Halo 2, end, and the second half of Halo 2 picks up again. If you are going chronologically.

If only we had gotten it from Peter Jackson/Neill Blomkamp back in 2005 Instead we got District 9 (Which is a spectacular movie).

This is rich, considering you write off H2A for having overpowered auto-aim, yet can justify ADS and Spartan abilities, and consider yourself a Halo purist.

motion tracker has been in the game since its inception, as have power weapons, BTB, and vehicles. Writing off all game types besides MLG doesn't make one more of a purist than another. Especially if they are using the mental gymnastics you have with your gripes about H2A.

quote:

I'm still not convinced you know what aim down sights means.

I didn't at first, but using context clues, able to put together. It's the view you get when you zoom in, which they are completely changing this time around to accommodate COD players, and has no place in Halo.
quote:

you can say h5 is the same as h4 all you want, and while warzone certainly resembles it, the arena is based on balance and skill.

I don't think it's the same as H4, but it definitely resembles a cross between H4 and COD more than it does any other Halo game.
quote:

and yes, I'd rather not have abilities,

Thank God someone finally had the honesty to say this.

quote:

I only mentioned button glitches because they sped up the pace of gameplay in h2, and the lack thereof made the pace in h2a feel even slower.

Well, button glitches were only in H2, so if you're knocking H2A for not having them, then it's a knock on all Halo games, sans H2.

What makes you say that?
