I have a very interesting tidbit that Frankie shared with me! When I mentioned to him how much I love “The Sprint” he said something to the tune of “look out next week for a nice surprise” and seemed to hint that it would be returning.http://halo5universe.com/news/behind-the-scenes/authors-experience-idxbox-prepax-event-featuring-halo-5/

They've been given out at all the cons. Nothing retail yet.

Hell yeah, that was my first thought. Might just be a vidoc, and not full Sprint. I'm excited either way.

Okay, so I realize that this is semi-unrelated to Halo, but I'm curious if any of you guys use headsets for gaming (as in stereo/surround headsets, not just a chatting one).
If so, what brand and style?
I'm looking into getting some Astros, but haven't decided on what style yet. I'm actually thinking about the A40+MixAmp Pro (for the 360), as it still has the simulated 7.1, whereas the A40 Xbox One edition with the MX80 only has stereo. :/

I have A40s with mixamp and they work great... don't have much experience with other headsets though.
By belushy Go To PostI have A40s with mixamp and they work great… don't have much experience with other headsets though.Are yours the 360 version and you just use the Xbox One adapter?
Also, how cumbersome would it be to use the MixAmp in my setup (sitting on the couch ~3' from the Xbone & TV?
By ElzarTheBam Go To PostI got the MC A50s.
Pretty good.
Do they work on PC?
I need to get some new headphones. Me want.

I would like to see gameplay on The Rig, Plaza, Coliseum, etc. All we have from those is the B-Roll. Seeing a new Warzone map would be awesome too.
I doubt I'm the first one to notice this but in the kill feed at the bottom left showing the recent kills, the kill image for assassinations is a knife.
By Mix Go To PostHoly shit you guys, LawBreakers is looking fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ4S5G4nsUI
Yeah, but I am crap with a mouse or keyboard. Will buy on Xbone or whatever.

What is the name of that Japanese style city map we saw in the Arena B-roll? Really felt H5 was missing some non UNSC human map!
Btw I was just watching some Unyshek footage on Orion, assuming that that's Forge terrain and block etc... how are you feeling about it's look? Looks remarkably more plain than previous Halo games (Reach had my favourite). Obviously still WIP I hope.

The city map is called Plaza.
That gameplay is from the Halo 5 Beta in December/January. It was extremely work in progress. I expect Orion looks completely different now, since I think they said somewhere that there would be Forge palettes to make things not look bland and gray? I don't know.
You have to take a moment to think about what you're looking at, bro. Unyshek doesn't have some special access, he just recorded a ton of footage back during the beta and is now putting it on YouTube. Not only that, but any builds we see at public events are likely several months old, so you shouldn't take stock in them.

Oh yeah just realised these are from the beta, he just saved them till now. Yeah true, I doubt 343 would be satisfied with leaving the forge maps as plain as that

This was not what I was expecting at all but that is a good thing, because I think it looks pretty good at the moment. I need to see more, though. and of course have to see how Nexon ruins it with F2P bullshit.
By Mix Go To PostHoly shit you guys, LawBreakers is looking fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ4S5G4nsUI
That looked amazing. Funny thing I noticed, the Breacher character looks kinda like a helmet-less Locke.
I actually miss propipe. I was never great with it, but I was decent and the absolute joy when you pull off a deliberately tricky bounce.
If they put a gametype where everyone has Hydras in the Action Sack playlist, they should call it 'Team Mortars' or 'Bombardment' or something cool, since you're supposed to aim the Hydra to the sky after you lock on for the best results.
Also Stinkles, can you tell the people who make the Custom Games options to make it so you can change the Oddball to a different weapon you have to carry instead (i.e. Oddball but you have to hold the Prophet's Bane to earn points)? That would be pretty neat.

Damn, there's not much in gaming which is quite as satisfying as whipping around and pulling off a crispy 4 shot after being a shot down.
By Stinkles Go To PostI actually miss propipe. I was never great with it, but I was decent and the absolute joy when you pull off a deliberately tricky bounce.Not sure if you can answer but is there anything we haven't seen in Halo 5 that scratches that itch?
Hope the gravity hammer is in the game, pretty sad that recent Halo's have been ignoring the plasma rife :(
I would be surprised if the Gravity Hammer wasn't in the game but seriously who gives a shit about the Plasma Rifle. It is bland, uninteresting, and the Covenant weapon I am least likely to pick up if given the opportunity. It's two purple tubes with a handle that fires automatic laser shots and deals mediocre damage and overheats quickly.
Good.
By Poodlestrike Go To PostPlasma rifle is canon dead, from what I understand.
Good.

By FollowTheWind Go To PostHope the gravity hammer is in the game, pretty sad that recent Halo's have been ignoring the plasma rife :(A few months ago Frankie made a comment about seeing the gravity hammer when someone mentioned they hadn't yet seen it.
Halo's the only game where I can't only pick 1 weapon I love in terms of design, they're all just so good and iconic. DMR is one of my favourite (H4 DMR looks better than Reach and 5 imo). BR designs have changed a lot so can't decide, H2:A looks great, halo 3 not as much. Halo 5 looks the strangest (not that thats bad).
In general, the designs of the weapons are all good across all the games, and nothing has really become "bad". But I really gotta see the new legendary SPNKR. The new design is cool and all and has some nice sprinting and reloading animations, it's just too different.

My issue is with the "Generic RPG" (a tube that fires rockets) look for the rockets. And the Rds on the BR.

That gameplay, woof.
God damn I've never seen a worse player than that. It's almost like he's trying to betray his teammates, but is too bad at using dual-stick controls to pull it off.
I've never seen that meter fill animation when picking up a weapon.
Is it really needed? I mean we all know to hold the button to pick up a weapon.

Also: could be that you can set weapon pickup times in settings? Or it varies from gun to gun? Dunno.
By Poodlestrike Go To PostI dunno, that player on Fathom is impressively shit. I wouldn't assume anything.I hope not. That would slow down gameplay if I have to wait 3 seconds to pick up a sniper vs 1 second for a normal weapon.

I doubt it's needed, but it actually looks really nice and classy. The UI in Halo 5 is so clean I love it.
Argh and that pop sound when you get a headshot, not needed but so damn clean and satisfying.
If MP is supposed to be about immersion, that breaks immersion.
I mean yeah the UI is great but that meter thing just seems out of place.

By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostIf MP is supposed to be about immersion, that breaks immersion.
If you wanna look at it from the perspective I guess. But it's the SP which is more about immersion, in MP they dialled down how much of the helmet you can see, and added the killfeed and medals.
By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostIf MP is supposed to be about immersion, that breaks immersion.
Holy shit
ZzZZzzzzZZ
By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostIf MP is supposed to be about immersion, that breaks immersion.But it's immersion in a tactical wargame simulation thing. Maybe the circle is the suit synching up with the weapon's computer.

Okay dial it down man he didn't say anything wrong. Why are people getting so hostile over the smallest things, yesterday the boltshot now this.
Sound design in the game is sounding great. I basically turned on that PAX journo video and changed tabs and just listened.
Here's a thought: for competitive settings seeing the ring is better because it shows how long you have to hold the button. It's for the purpose of clarity and nothing else.
