That's a terrible comparison dude. Weapon feedback such as sound and muzzle flashes effect more than the playe using them. They aren't just there because they're pretty. They provide feedback to other players so they can recognize what weapon is being used, how far away it is, from what direction and so forth. You can't really make that argument for the weird little meter thing.
Picking up a weapon is almost instantaneous so unless they lengthen the time it takes to pick up a weapon or get in in a vehicle like Destiny does, there's no point to it other than being pretty. In Destiny it has a useful function because certain things take longer to pick up.
Again though it's not a big thing for me. If you like it cool but don't defend it with bad arguments giving it more credit than it actually deserves.
I haven't once stated the feature is good or needed. All I've been doing is examining its usefulness from a game designer's perspective.
You are correct about the muzzle flash and sound effect for the guns. In retrospect I certainly could have found a better system for comparison, but I stand by my statement as I simply wanted people to think differently about the game as I've plainly and clearly stated before.
As a big fan of Mk V, the Reach variant never felt right to me, the visor was more narrow and that indentation at the nose is weird. Much prefer 3 and 4's re-imagining.
By derpface123 Go To PostIn that very screenshot I prefer Mark VI. I liked Mark V's design in Reach and I hope it's in H5 for the people who really like it, but I don't see myself using it that much, especially since I know I'll have Mark VI on day 1.
The best part of Mark V is the helmet. The body armor, shoulders and WWE championship belt of ammo packs don't really speak to me.
Omg, Master Chief's name is John. The champion is John Cena. WWE belt, it all makes sense!

I'm not bothered by change. There are far more important things in life to get worked up about than a video game haha. :D
This is easily my most anticipated Halo, not because I loved the beta, but because of the way 343 handled the information and complaints from the beta.
Although I disagree with a few things, such as the cocky winner pose they got going (it was awesome).

Designers and gamer and getting old/tired perspective is I do not need more extraneous shit on my screen, in my games, etc. I willing concede I am not really the demographic for most if not all games these days but I can still call out what is useless shite and what would be better served by that concept.
Also some of you might want to get better at making cogent points and relevant comparisons. All games do it too is some appeal to authority garbage. It's not really player feedback if all weapons get picked up at the same rate and there is an animation. Also comparing it to actual player feedback that informs a player and opponents about weapon types or achievements like a headshot is truly misguided.
Then there its the it's small and unobtrusive crowd as if that's relevant too, it's still popping up in my screen for me look at, that's the point. "I" have to go out my way to learn to ignore it.

You know what should come back? The "leading reticle" thing that showed up when you used plasma-based weaponry in Reach.

Boo hoo, I have to go out of my way to learn to ignore something. What garbage. Playing videogames is such a chore these days.

By definition, player feedback is when the player performs an action and the game responds to let the player know what their action is doing. You can't just pick and choose based on what you actually like.

You act as if this is some game breaking feature that is preventing you from playing the game adequately.
Sure, it's kinda pointless.
It's also very unobtrusive and is only on screen for a very short amount of time.
It's a non issue.

Now that 343i has Halo, they've made the plasma weapons useful. That leading reticle would make them even more useful against UNSC weapons.
By derpface123 Go To PostBoo hoo, I have to go out of my way to learn to ignore something. What garbage. Playing videogames is such a chore these days.See? No real argument, more ad hominem crap.
Also lol at it's not game breaking so it's fine. More trite irrelevancy.
By db Go To PostSee? No real argument, more ad hominem crap.

There's no real argument on either side.
By db Go To PostAlso lol at it's not game breaking so it's fine. More trite irrelevancy.It's not even a minor problem though, it's a complete non issue.
It harms nobody and some people might like it. Can you give an reason for it being an issue beyond being somewhat pointless?
I feel like the older I get (And I'm only 21 lol), the less I care about small things in games that, in the end, don't really matter. I remember being pretty mad about the new look of the grunts and jackels in Halo 4, but right now, I really don't care about that. Same thing with this weapon pickup timer. In the end, it doesn't take anything away from gameplay. So why be bothered about it?
Can we just stop talking about this? Let's talk about Gears of War. Ultimate Edition is really good. It frustrated the hell out of me at first (and often still does) but once you come to terms with the bullets coming out of the center of the screen instead of your barrel and you learn to pull off those sweet corner gibs with the Gnasher, it is amazing fun. I only just reached level 20 in the progression system today. I need to find some people to play with though.
By Fata1moose Go To PostAs a big fan of Mk V, the Reach variant never felt right to me, the visor was more narrow and that indentation at the nose is weird.

What's occurring right now is innate frustration as result of your argument (arguably) being the equivalent of a whine. You haven't elaborated on your stance and have given blanket statements that are nothing other than you proclaiming your opinion and expecting people to agree with you.
Whatever conversation there was to begin with on this matter has completely degraded into nonsensical dick measuring. There's no real substance anymore and no need to continue discussion on the matter.
By FUNKNOWN iXi Go To PostNot much about Reach's armor felt right to me, or even Halo for that matter. I liked some of them, but I'm glad we're past having half our armor covered in mud.I found Reach's armor to be boring for the most part.
It basically boiled down to Bulkier = Higher Rank.
By jem Go To PostDamn, the CoD beta is really not for me. It just feels so damn clunky.That's why it's a Beta.
By Lord of Admirals Go To PostThat's why it's a Beta.It's a beta for a game coming out in a couple of months, there's not going to be many gameplay changes beyond balance adjustments.
It's a glorified demo and server stress test.
FYI Security armor is confirmed for Halo 5. It wasn't in H4 so I'm curious if they went for the Halo 3 dome style, or the less dome esque Reach style, or something entirely new. Personally I hope it's reminiscent of Halo 3 Security.
I don't need to elaborate on my stance? It's fairly obvious what the meter does or doesn't do and others have pointed it out as well. I don't expect agreement, I expect actual relevant points in response rather than ad hominems of all stripes and various other immature insults. If you're cool with extraneous information on screen that's cool, I'm not. It's that simple. Instead I seem to have made some people bristly because their inane rationalizations aren't particularly interesting to me.

Don't think you're seeing dome style ever again, since it was a copy of the Marathon armor. Reach excised almost all the Marathon references in Halo save for the lobby nameplate for legal reasons.

Nope. They changed it to the 7th Column in Reach

How about if there will be joinable custom games? I feel this is not trivial, especially since an after-match lobby and joinable customs are not in the MCC, a rather shocking exclusion since they were in the original games, and are industry standard features.
And did I make a right choice with the PDP Karga Afterglow blue headset to replace the broken original xbone mic?
I make better conversations :p

From the LIVERY LEAK section, it includes descriptions of 3 armor sets in Halo 5: FENRIR, ARGONAUT, and of course SECURITY.

Join-in-progress for custom games has been an option since Halo 2 released back in 2004 and with the recent launch of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, players couldn’t join on-going custom games. Josh Holmes promised us that when Halo 5: Guardians launches in October, players will be able to join their friends on-going custom games.
http://teambeyond.net/interview-josh-holmes-halo-5-guardians/
Not being able to join on-going customs, man, that's all people did back in halo days, especially if it was one of those crazy customs with warthogs and flying down corridors trying to avoid shit.
I hope the pickup meter stays forever in all future video games. It's really grown on me since yesterday even though I haven't played the game yet. I might not be able to imagine gaming without it.
This environment looks really big, see the banshee in the bottom right.I don't think we're going to need to worry about scale too much in H5.
