By derpface123 Go To PostHere'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.The ring is useless unless we know the amount of time it takes to pick up the weapon. And there shouldn't be a different time to pick up each weapon anyway.
By derpface123 Go To PostThere isn't a different time, the ring just shows how close you are to picking it up. It's useful.It wasn't needed in halo1-4. What value does it add? What's the point of throwing a meter on something like picking up a weapon?
A meter would be better somewhere where the action isn't near instant. Everyone knows to hold the button to pick up a weapon. It's either you pick it up or you don't.
Maybe its for new players? Maybe, much like those tutorials that pop up, it'll disappear after a few games?
Hold the button. What's hard about that? I mean you hold the button in CoD or Battlefield. It's second nature to picking up weapons.
It just seems pointless to me but everything has a reason I suppose.
If I can turn it off, then yeah its fine.
It wasn't in the beta either.

By J-Twelve Go To PostWow, you're really bothered by this little meter. LOLNot bothered no. Just never seen it before and wonder what it's point is. You people are acting like in saying it ruins the fucking game.
It's a good addition because instead of having to hold the button for an amount of time you don't know, you can see the circle go around indicating how long you have to hold it and how much longer it has to be held. This is good for competitive settings too because spectators can be like "Oh man he was SO CLOSE to picking up the weapon!"
A cosmetic circle showing how long you have to hold to pick up the weapon DOES NOT MEAN that there are different pick up times for each weapon. It just shows you how long you have to hold it, whereas in previous games you didn't know.
I don't know why you'd want to turn it off when it makes zero difference and takes up a tiny portion of your screen for the second it takes to pick up a weapon. It's a neat addition and I have zero problems with it.

By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostNot bothered no. Just never seen it before and wonder what it's point is. You people are acting like in saying it ruins the fucking game.You're definitely bothered by it. You posted like five times in as many minutes about it. You're asking for the option to disable it. You're bothered. That's funny to me.
Guy on NeoGAF says that the 343 Industries watermark on the above screen suggests they are bullshots/touched up. Just because they put 343 Industries in the corner after they took them.
I accidentally time warped to page 35 and re-read about half of the page before I realized where I was...thing that tipped me off....someone posting about the gay cruise adds on mobile.
lol was just like "Oh hey Rag is mad about something 343 did" and everything looked in order

By belushy Go To PostHell yeah, that was my first thought. Might just be a vidoc, and not full Sprint. I'm excited either way.
edit: Fathom gameplay from a shitty player at Gamespot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dnlm5Vi6eCY
Also getting bored of Fathom gameplay now, at this point :P
Holy shit. Since when does Juices work for Gamespot?
This is probably the person who will be reviewing the game too.
By JBird20022 Go To PostI accidentally time warped to page 35 and re-read about half of the page before I realized where I was…thing that tipped me off….someone posting about the gay cruise adds on mobile.I'm not mad at anything. Just never saw the meter before and was asking why it was there. Tried to have a decent conversation about it until I got shit piled on me.

By Sikamikanico Go To PostGAF Gaming side thread about those screenshots….sheesh. :/It's a thread about a Microsoft exclusive. Did you expect anything better?
fucking gaming side
One thread about new screens, posts about screens not looking good
another thread about being underwhelmed by halo 5 visuals

"That dude's jacket looks better than anything I've seen in Halo 5".
Jacket doesn't even look that good, did he even see the picture of the Elites? Their skin looked bumpy and its texture looked very high-resolution. At least as high or higher than that Metro guy's jacket.

By Poodlestrike Go To PostPlasma rifle is canon dead, from what I understand.It's still around, the lore is just set up so that it explains why we aren't seeing it as much in the games as of late.
By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostIf MP is supposed to be about immersion, that breaks immersion.i'm fairly sure it's just an illusion. The pick up meter looks like it lasts the same time you need to hold down the pick up button in previous Halo's.
I mean yeah the UI is great but that meter thing just seems out of place.
By Lord of Admirals Go To Posti'm fairly sure it's just an illusion. The pick up meter looks like it lasts the same time you need to hold down the pick up button in previous Halo's.
As I said before, it's just for clarity. We're all Halo nerds so we know approximately how long to hold the button to pick up a weapon, but for new players it's nice to see the meter fill up and know 'as soon as the meter makes a full circle, I will pick up this weapon'. It's a positive change, it looks slick, and I can't see why anyone would have a problem with it. It's purely cosmetic and does not represent a change in the time it takes to pick up weapons, just an increased emphasis on showing the player exactly how long the button must be held before the weapon will be picked up.
On another note,
Does anyone know if you can get the special visor colors from the Halo 5 controller REQ packs without buying the controller, i.e. from a regular REQ pack as a random unlock? The Locke controller comes with the "Resolute" visor (presumably solid blue like Locke has) and the Chief controller comes with the "Dauntless" visor (presumably solid gold like Chief has).
By derpface123 Go To Posthttp://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=176815297&postcount=94I've played all the iterations of Metro. The reason why Metro looks so gorgeous is the ridiculously good lighting and post-processing effects. That's not to say it looks ugly, it's clearly a beautiful game. But so is Halo 5. It's pointless to compare to game's graphical quality, especially since the game design behind Metro and Halo is completely different.

For a game like Metro, you NEED moody and striking visuals, otherwise the goal of the game (and even gameplay) falls apart.

One of the major tenants of good game design is player feedback.

Wtf theres special cosmetics from the controllers too? I know these are cosmetic and dont affect the game but come on... But I'm pretty sure most will be available in game if the FOTUS and Locke pre-order armours can be rewarded through the REQ packs.
The blue visors as default in MP are growing on me. I used to be a diehard gold visor supporter but the blue looks nice too.
Wow never realised this! These are the things that piss me off. Look at how amazing the rock formations are, the massive machine and the physics of the platform he breaks. But seriously... that explosion... I didn't even notice it till someone pointed it out.
Hopefully they sorted that out...
But the scale is insane, look how massive it is (much bigger than scarabs), and look at how far out that banshee is on the left!!!

I don't know if it's because I fell into that hivemind, but GAF has seemed super fucking aggressive towards everything lately. It's probably because we're not there to soak up all the hate.
Wonder what they're gonna do when they realize that literally every community OT goes off topic...
Also, anyone want to play some Halo soon?

Just the explosion, extremely low quality. Probably a placeholder.
By Stinkles Go To PostPro Pipe is dumb
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.lol just like a typical Halo fan
RIP propipe
