How does it feel throwing grenades with LB? (if you are using that scheme)Is there a scheme where you can use smart scope by clicking the right stick? (or does that put you at a disadvantage?)
From watching Ninja's stream yesterday.Sprint needs to go.Clamber needs to go. Everything else I've seen looks decent. The game has some potential.
Clamber is casualized yes, but it leads to some great map design and combat encounters. Part of it, is that it keeps your movement flow going. Where as before, you lost momentum for jumping over ledges, you no longer do.
"Sniped" only mean "killed by a Sniper Rifle"
and the guy had low/no shields?
http://youtu.be/Q7sdkG6gQY8?t=1m38sOkay, pretty much the first clip I've watched of the Halo 5 Beta, and the kill that happens at 1:42 really caught my eye. I didn't notice it at first until the commentator mentioned his surprise at it, but it looks like he got a "Sniped" kill in the killfeed, which in previous games meant it was a Head Shot IIRC. However, if you freeze the frame, it's clear that he was aiming at the guy's crotch. The recoil looks like it stopped at the head of the other player, so was that a glitch b/c of final place of recoil, or does "Sniped" only mean "killed by a Sniper Rifle" and the guy had low/no shields?Quote from: Mr. Admirals on December 20, 2014, 01:08:20 PMClamber is casualized yes, but it leads to some great map design and combat encounters.

I can't recall one that had movement physics that cancelled/lowered momentum when a player jumped. A player not being able to stand in place on a moving vehicle and jump then land in the same spot, because of the Law of Conservation of Momentum didn't exist in any Halo game to date, is something I recall though. Really, they should fix that, it was really annoying in Halo 3 while riding the Elephant.

You're referring the ledges where you can make the jump using a parabolic jump.Clamber makes all the jumps like the parabolic ones.

And the ones that are generally require you to stop, because you need that height that you can only get by jumping with little motion. I'm not saying Clamber is a flawless addition. It has it's baggage, but what it brings to the table might be enough to cancel it out. Again, you're not required to use it either. You can toggle it so you actually have to make a second jump press to clamber the ledge. Of course you'll be at a disadvantage for choosing not to grapple, but I'm just throwing that out there. I don't mind clamber, you do, that's not going to change.

The game has some potential.Sprint can stay. It just needs to be nerfed to hell and back so it's only useful at the beginning of the match/spawn. (I know you disagree).

that Halo 5 actually has less auto-aim than Halo CE
First Impressions were great, looks fun!However some minor things I didn't like:-Sniper needs a re-done, seems to bulky and Wall-E look still, that Halo 4 had. -Announcer sounds like he's being sarcastic at times... 'Double Kill'.. the way he says that now.. yuck.-Not a fan of Spartan Call outs, or Bro Groups at the start & end of each match.-Sprinting Animation with Guns (Seems very Blackops) and Sprint flares on the side of screens not a fan off.

So it might be that Halo 5 has more bullet magnetism than CE. Because it's easier to paint over targets in Halo 5 than it is to do in Halo CE.
Oh, I completely forgot to mention this! Your melee doesn't connect unless your reticle is on the enemy player. There's still a lunge, and there might be a bit of leeway, but if you're not aiming at your opponent, you'll miss the melee.

So it might be that Halo 5 has more bullet magnetism than CE. Because it's easier to paint over targets in Halo 5 than it is to do in Halo CE.Is any of H5's bullet magnetism outside of the reticule? Like, if your reticule is not on the player by even a pixel, will it hit? CE's bullet magnetism is contained entirely within the crosshairs, so that may be what Josh means.
