Hey now. I appreciate crazy gametypes. I just played some with peeps here this past weekend lol
By Cliq Go To PostHey guys! As you know I have been trying to reach out to 343 about the Recon control scheme and I haven't gotten a response. I tweeted to Frankie, Josh, and Bravo about it and haven't heard anything. Do you guys have any ideas of how I can get this issue brought up to there attention in other ways?
Hopefully it gets looked at before launch. I'm a little worried I'm going to have to relearn how to play Halo or worse pay $150 to play the way I want.
You could try PMing them on GAF, or bring it up on beyond (if it isn't already). You could also try Quinn Delhoyo on twitter

Good ideas. Done and done. I really hope they look into it.

That footage of Blue Team looked amazing. The openness of that level really looks like classic Halo, and the music gave me big nostalgia. This is honestly shaping up to be the best Halo campaign yet.

I still beat you. First time playing that map.
Scrub. ;)
I now have a reddit post in hopes that it will catch the attention of 343. Can you guys do me a huge solid and upvote for me? I would really appreciate it!

By jem Go To PostI thought they made it so you could aim the ground pound with the left thumbstick?
They changed it because of the request for all control schemes to allow crouch jumping.

I said this in my reddit post but i'll say it here. What specifically do you need crouch jump for that clamber or stabilize couldn't do?
By Fahzgoolin Go To PostThey changed it because of the request for all control schemes to allow crouch jumping.No, not activate it, aim it.
By Cliq Go To PostI said this in my reddit post but i'll say it here. What specifically do you need crouch jump for that clamber or stabilize couldn't do?Well stabilize is kinda completely different...
Crouch jumping allows you to increase your jump height without lowering your weapon, which has obvious advantages compared to clamber where you can't shoot.
By Cliq Go To PostI said this in my reddit post but i'll say it here. What specifically do you need crouch jump for that clamber or stabilize couldn't do?
I pretty much agree man. I'm just saying that's why they did it. I haven't played Halo 5 since the beta, so I'm unaware of any reason to crouch jump anymore. I imagine if you can crouch jump it would be faster than going through the clamber animation, but other than that I wouldn't know.
By jem Go To PostNo, not activate it, aim it.
Whatcha mean? Before the GP was on the left stick for Recon which meant that you couldn't crouch jump at all unless you had toggle crouch (ewww). Honestly I don't see why they can't put GP on something like "down" on the D-Pad. That way you could still aim it properly.

Fair point, but is it worth it to make GP extremely difficult to use for Recon users? This really only applies to this one control scheme.

Obviously that's kinda annoying unless you claw (claw masterrace representing).

However I thought they changed it so that you could aim the ground pound reticule with the left stick instead of the right. That would mean you could hold a face button and aim without holding the controller in a different way.
I actually had the problem Cliq is describing in the beta because I played using the Reclaimer control scheme which has crouch set to B. Didn't really affect me though because I claw.
By Cliq Go To PostFair point, but is it worth it to make GP extremely difficult to use for Recon users? This really only applies to this one control scheme.
Eh, I know I saw a lot of complaints about not being able to crouch jump. It has kinda been a staple of the franchise since the beginning.
By Cliq Go To PostThis would also work but sadly aiming GP is still mapped to Right Thumbstick.
I think the best solution would be to make it so you can aim with either stick. That would solve almost all issues.

Bolded is correct.
Like I suggested before, wouldn't people be okay with UP/DOWN on the D-Pad for this? That way you could still aim. They aren't even being used for anything.

See the screenshots on the reddit post. Up/Down are being used for the new Spartan orders/revive in the campaign. I'm up for any solution that allows me to use and aim gp naturally.
By deltaunithink Go To Postcan some one PM a copy of that video PLEASECheck your PM's on GAF brah
By Fahzgoolin Go To PostI still beat you. First time playing that map.

Watch out, that kind of behavior is not allowed on Xbox Live ;)
By Fahzgoolin Go To PostBolded is correct.You can aim, after a fashion, without adopting TEH CLAW; rotate your hand around the grip of the controller until the base of your thumb (the bit with all the meat) rests on top of the right stick. It's clumsy, but it works.

Ohhhh nice catch. I didn't know that. DANG
EDIT:
Wouldn't holding RB be okay then? If you tap it, you reload. If you hold it, you ground pound. The only time that could be a problem is if you were trying to jack a banshee in the air...but you would think the action to jack the banshee would veto the GP in that context.
It is definitely a problem that comes up with all the things 343 is adding to the game in terms of abilities. Not enough button space lol
edit: Though I suppose the Elite controller could fix that. Microsoft needs to just add full button remapping like Sony does anyway.

This would work but I like the idea of having aim be on the left thumbstick. That seems to take care of everything without sacrificing anything.
343 could just add another option. (Aim with Ground Pound : Left Thumbstick or Right Thumbstick)
Just going to edit my post. If you haven't already please upvote my post on reddit so it has a shot of being seen by 343. Thanks in advance!

By J-Twelve Go To PostWow, what an asshole.it's not what it looks like!
Hey, someone play with me. Ew, no, not you.
I'll never see Mix in a bright light again after that transgression.
edit: Also I am wanting to preorder the Halo 5 console soon. Any deals for it going on or will it stay at $500 pretty much the whole time until release? I know we can't predict future, but just if anyone has been following the Xbox market and other bundles.

You can make her completely drenched in blood for some reason. Does that count? /s
I get her existence in the story... But her attire could definitely have been handled better. She's not the first character in MGSV that depends on photosynthesis, if I recall, and that previous character wasn't naked.
As I've been playing I've drawn some parallels to Quiet and Cortana... As in one has always been tastefully done, and the other is a totally blatant nod to fan service but jacked up to XTREME. lol
Why is it so ugly, I don't understand the generic blue print . Idk, maybe its just me but that steel book and packaging doesn't say Halo to me.

If it means anything bro I've not been doing too well in my uni either, it's really frustrating. Good luck, and make sure you always focus on yourself when things don't look to bright. Reading, gym and meditation did wonders for me :) Always aim high!
