Incineration Cannon is back and has changed compared to Halo 4. players can charge up a shot and the longer you charge, the more powerful it is. Battery based rather than ammo based.
railgun is back from Halo 4 and works almost identically - could hold up to 11 shots
Overshield was present had some weird screen effect when you picked it up - looked like a bug
boltshot is here but doesn't work like halo 4 - no shotgun fire mode. fires two shots at once and sort of tracks players
suppressor is back and fires a lot slower
blue outline on weapons was in the build
killcams were disabled in the build, could spectate players while you were dead
br spread was near-gone - fired so fast
spartan chatter was reduced hugely, less pointless callouts
spartan bro moments cut down. game ending segment is just your spartans walking towards the screen, no more highfives and shit
killfeed modified to be like this: "PLAYER NAME" "WEAPON KILLED WITH" "PLAYER NAME"
pistol RoF is modified to be slower but is a lot more powerful - competes with AR and BR
ground pound is harder to use, radius is tiny
overshield was bugged, my shields said i constantly had it even after death

Just realized how similar that railgun looks to Warframes Dera

I'm glad they're keeping the Promethean weapons and just altering / fixing them instead of just scrapping them.

The Boltshot should have stayed the same since it's not in loadouts anymore. There was absolutely no need to nerf it.

Good thing the Team Beyond thread is gone so I dont have to fumble through a bunch of tryhards beating dead horses and bitching over nothing

It was pointless but I did like seeing the game not taking it self so seriously. To me the Spartans acting like humans was nice to see.

All the backlash 343 got over the 'spartan-bros' was completely unwarented. People dont seem to get that the Spartan IVs arent the Spartan IIs, theyre regular people. And even though the War Games is a combat situation, at the end of the day all it's realy just a game and a competition between the spartan IVS in all respects. They understand that nobody's life is in danger and their goal is to be better than all the others. Just real life competitive Halo

So.. Now the two Forerunner weapons are even MORE useless now? What's the point in having them in!?

Coco · June 10, 2015, 09:28:19 PM

Boltshot: Considering how the pistol is designed to be on par with the AR and BR, how do you know the boltshot isn't going to be in the same league? The shotgun ability on it was retarded, anyways.

Incineration Cannon: it was just "press RT to annihilate everything on your screen in half a second". At least it sounds like it has some depth to it now.

Suppressor: slower ROF doesn't mean worse gun. The game doesn't really have any autos that shoot slow, but pack a punch, and it'd be nice to see one: maybe it'd take some skill to use.

Also, the light rifle is a beast, so at least there's that.

#1: I agree!

#2: The Rocket Launcher has no depth to it?

#3: The Suppressor in Halo 4 was awful. If all they did for Halo 5 is make is slower, its going to be worse.

#2: I mean, it was essentially a rocket launcher that was exactly the same, except it created a bigger clusterfuck when it exploded. And there are already 2 rocket launchers, so I welcome one that handles differently, especially if all it's going to do is make a bigger explosion.

#3: I doubt they just made it slower, and nothing else. It probably also hits harder, so that it matches the kill-time of the AR. I could see a moderately high damage auto with a slower RoF being something you'd have to be decent at controlling and actually aiming, which is good.

That is gonna need a rework if it goes to pc then. Do you know how absolutely broken a mouse and keyboard makes that thing?

Gotta say that this is pretty lame, tbh.

all i'm saying is that the dude bro attitude of the Spartan 4s isnt so unbeliveable when you have regular people participating in what is essentialy a game. Sure you have a few stiffs like Locke, and some airheads like palmer but the program in universe is mostly solid (exept for all the innies they keep letting in) and when it comes down ro it the Spartan 4s (Exept of course Palmer) have proven themselves as true heros.

I also like what 343 is doing by drawing contrast between the Spartan IIs and 4s as well as questioning the ethics and true stability of the spartan 2 program as a whole, bringing debate which Spartan program was truely the better one.

I don't really care about Halo much anymore. I wasn't even aware that Spartan 4s are somewhat more normal people. Part of what I always liked about the Spartans was that they were bred for war. The 4s don't sound as cool.

you seem to have missed all of the ethical issues that the Spartan IIS are wraped up in, and the huge impact said issues are having on the story so far. Spartan 4s are not there to be cool. they are a logical next step in the UNCS developmen and they serve several purpouses plot wise:to demonstrate the UNSCs advancement and provide a contrast to the old spartans and get us to question the entire progam in general such as the necesity for the cruely of the spartan II Program and if theyre still capable. Or of the new Spartans can ever truely compare to the old ones.

It isnt about what'd cool. It's about advancing the story in an intresting and engaging way.

"I don't really care about Halo much anymore." I have no interest in the next game or its lore. Just pointing out that I prefered the traditional Spartans and their creation over the dudebros. Might be an interesting story line or ethical question, but that's not something I really care much about. A few years ago, perhaps, but I don't even have a next-gen console and Halo 5 really doesn't look very good, so I'm not too interested.

in other words, flee don't give a fuck nigga
