By Granadier Go To PostWhite lines are intentional. Gotta balance the colors brah. The white bar helps differentiate quotes from the text input boxes.OR you're just too lazy to change it ;)
My input boxes are actually the same colour as the background. Gunna change that now.
That said that's how reilo intended it to look so I'm gunna change it back.
By jem0208 Go To PostOR you're just too lazy to change it ;)Personally I think it looks better with the white line border, but if people prefer it without I'll definitely change it.

By Wesleyshark Go To PostWhatever guys I'm using the Default Theme because I'm a filthy mobile user.What platform?
By Granadier Go To PostWhat platform?Android. Chrome beta. Can I use themes on mobile?
By Wesleyshark Go To PostWhatever guys I'm using the Default Theme because I'm a filthy mobile user.Same here, except I'm on win 10 and using edge because holy shit it's so fast.
By Wesleyshark Go To PostAndroid. Chrome beta. Can I use themes on mobile?Not on Chrome, but if you use Firefox, Jem's theme will work through Stylish. I haven't set mine up for Android yet.
By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostClose range. Maybe 2-3 meters out of melee rangeIt might as well be a shotgun at that point.
The bias against automatic rifles in Halo started because Bungie decided that they should have an overly large spread that exceeds the borders of the player's reticle. This made it so the weapons were overly random and unpredictable in their expected range that their reticles would imply, making combat with them based more on luck and spamming.
If the gun is predictable, with a negligible spread in a medium range, then the conflict turns more into who's more consistent with aiming, rather than spraying and running at the player to get into the weapon's actual range. This is why people dislike the AR so much in Halo 3. The size of its reticle implied to the player that you should be able to engage enemies at roughly the same distance as the BR. In reality, the bullet spread on the AR greatly exceeded the reticle, and made it so players are engaging at longer ranges, and moving in to increase their bullet hit rate.
By Poodlestrike Go To PostSame here, except I'm on win 10 and using edge because holy shit it's so fast.The wp10 insider preview borked my Lumia 1520 and I had to get a new one. Waiting until an actual Developer Preview comes out but Damnit I miss using Edge. :( :(
Edge is seriously amazing.
By Poodlestrike Go To PostSame here, except I'm on win 10 and using edge because holy shit it's so fast.Seems that Edge does, or will, support Chrome and Firefox extensions. So you're in luck.
By Granadier Go To PostNot on Chrome, but if you use Firefox Jem's theme will work through Stylish. I haven't set mine up for Android yet.Not working perfectly yet.
I'm actually trying to figure out how to get it working 100% right now, I only just discovered Chrome's emulation tools which makes doing this far easier.
Can't believe I allowed myself to sport jem's inferior theme for this long.. I'll collect my royalties now jem, thanks.
PM me for details.

By Granadier Go To PostSeems that Edge does, or will, support Chrome and Firefox extensions. So you're in luck.Yeah, but it won't until a ways after launch, so for now I'm on default :P
By Wesleyshark Go To Post:pYup, I think I've figured it out though.
Give me 15 minutes and it should be updated.
By Granadier Go To PostJem, just remember.Haha, thanks for the help ;)
#000, not #FFF
Annoyingly though, the mobile site doesn't take the background colour from the body. So I had to find the right selector to modify, hence why Chrome emulation is nice.
Also I'm using rgba.
Okay, Wesley try updating the theme now. It should work fine.

By Lord of Admirals Go To PostIt might as well be a shotgun at that point.AR shouldn't be able to compete with a BR at the BRs intended range which is mid.

By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostAR shouldn't be able to compete with a BR at the BRs intended range which is mid.Maybe it should. Not truly competitive (i.e. put two players of exactly equal skill across from each other in a perfectly symmetrical medium-sized space, one with a BR, one with an AR, the BR always wins), but it shouldn't be totally uncompetitive either. Like, AR vs. BR at medium range shouldn't be purely a question of range control.

By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostAR shouldn't be able to compete with a BR at the BRs intended range which is mid.Define mid.
I'm of the opinion that Bungie's mid and 343's mid are much different. I'm glad 343 is pushing the range out on all the weapons, including the CQC ones. The AR can't compete against the BR at mid to long range; there's overlap with these weapons.
By Granadier Go To PostThe theme wars have spread beyond the confines of their respective threads.Main reason I posted the screenshot was so that I could have the link on my laptop :P
I'm gunna be sad when the theme wars end though.
By FUNKNOWN iXi Go To PostDefine mid.If a player can more consistantly hit with a BR or pistol, then what is the point in an automatic with random spread even with ADS that tightens the spread. Also I'm loving this conversation.

By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostIf a player can more consistantly hit with a BR or pistol, then what is the point in an automatic with random spread even with ADS that tightens the spread.For scrubs that can't aim.
By Granadier Go To PostFor scrubs that can't aim.As a scrub who can't aim, I can confirm that sometimes spray & pray is more fun.
lolBut seriously though, limiting long range weapons to pickups does promote map movement, so long as you structure it such that one team can't totally lock 'em down. And automatics being more effective than precision weapons in close to melee range forces non-power weapon selection to become relevant again in multi.
By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostAR shouldn't be able to compete with a BR at the BRs intended range which is mid.Why not? As far as I'm aware, there's not a constant function written in Halo's engine that dictates X weapon must only have X range.
It gets to a point when defining the weapon's intended range becomes semantics and the ranges all hold arbitrary values. The only way to EVER ensure a weapon can't compete with another at a specific range is to literally limit how far the bullet travels before the instance of it is deleted. At that point, only the longer range weapons would be useful. Part of having a fun shooter is having a diverse weapon sandbox. But that diversity becomes pointless and equally as dull as having only one type of gun if only one type of gun is effective.
In order to make the entire sandbox interesting and useful is to have diverse weapon types that all overlap on each other's intended range.
By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostIf a player can more consistantly hit with a BR or pistol, then what is the point in an automatic with random spread even with ADS that tightens the spread. Also I'm loving this conversation.The "ADS" no longer decreases spread on any of the weapons.
Spread is often used in Halo to limit the effective range on a weapon. Use too much of it, and the weapon becomes nigh useless and hinges on randomness to get hits and kills. I'm of the opinion that under Bungie, the automatics (and even precision weapons) had WAY too much spread. With the spread on automatics in Halo 5, it forces the player to actually make an effort at hitting the enemy (especially with the massive reduction in aim assist).
Unless they changed it since beta, ADS does indeed reduce the spread on the AR and SMG among others I believe.
By Lord of Admirals Go To PostThe "ADS" no longer decreases spread on any of the weapons.I thought they were toning down the spread reduction, not eliminating it entirely?
By Lord of Admirals Go To PostThe "ADS" no longer decreases spread on any of the weapons.1. Let's not pretend that it isn't ADS. Get that quote shit out of here.

2. They said they adjusted it from the beta not removed it completely.
3. That reduction may exist but until I see more footage, its just something the dev is planning.
By YourExWife Go To PostWutIt crashes frequently, and I recall a few others saying the same.
By Trey Go To PostRemember when Will killed two hunters bare handed? Realest nigga not breathing.
He also shows exceptional hand-to-hand combat skills. Before his death, he was able to fight and slay a Hunter in unarmed combat. This was a valiant action that cost him his life, as he was struck at point-blank range by the other Hunter's Assault cannon.
He killed one of the Hunters by ripping a large amount of Lekgolo out of the colony. A momentary cease fire occurred among the Covenant, as they had never seen a Hunter engaged or killed in this manner.RIP. Dude was a certified badass.
By Ragnarok Flames Go To Post1. Let's not pretend that it isn't ADS. Get that quote shit out of here.1. Nah, I think I'm good using quotes.
2. They said they adjusted it from the beta not removed it completely.
3. That reduction doesn't exist in my mind u til I see it for myself.
2. My bad. Regardless a reduction is good. Scope-in always decreased the spread a tiny bit on weapons in the Halo franchise.
3. CONFIRMED: Halo 5 is now Schrödinger's box
By Trey Go To PostRemember when Will killed two hunters bare handed? Realest nigga not breathing.I don't recall that he killed them. I only recall him injuring them.
Spartan just weren't written the same by any one not named Eric nylund. Always had some hype material in his books.
By Lord of Admirals Go To PostI don't recall that he killed them. I only recall him injuring them.Check the quotes. He managed to kill one and was blasted by the other.
Double checked from the book. Will punched the shit out of one Hunter, then was blasted by it's partner. After that Fred cleaned up the second hunter with a SPNKR rocket.
It wasn't clarified that Will killed the first Hunter, but the next bit mentioned that none of the Covenant were moving afterwards. So it has to be assumed that Will finished the first one off before being killed.
By Trey Go To PostSpartan just weren't written the same by any one not named Eric nylund. Always had some hype material in his books.Agreed. He has a skill for suspenseful writing.
By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostThen where would a third party "communism or Socialism or libertarian etc" stand? In this apt analogy.

By Trey Go To PostSpartan just weren't written the same by any one not named Eric nylund. Always had some hype material in his books.Despite the general dislike of Karen Traviss, I actually felt the 2 Spartan segments in the Kilo-5 Trilogy were on par with Nylund's description of Spartan badassery.

that was actually cute. Salvaged a wack ass character in Lucy just a bit. Of course she did nothing after, and her doing it then didn't really make any sense either, but still. I find some good in any Halo book.
also, lol that entire beginning part of Glasslands. Every character is terrible, Mendez especially. He just randomly catches an attitude after decades of being like third in command of the spartan project, lol. He trains at least two companies of Spartans personally.
Man, I don't like the KFT. so so much wasted potential.
By Trey Go To Postman you gotta provide some receipts right now. I got the books right here; page numbers please. Cuz I'm prepared to thoroughly disagree.I haven't read the K5 Trilogy in a while, but I recall what occurs, and in which book.
Glasslands has the moment where Naomi storms the Brute frigate, and proceeds to wreck the entire crew.
Thursday War has the moment where K5 is deployed to Sanghelios, and she goes into overdrive and outperforms all the Sangheili by a crazy amount.
