So I have heard there are grenade pickups on map, but do dead players also drop grenades like the Halos of yore? Default controls?
YouTube.
Can you climb/clamber backwards? Are there any trick jumps at all?
Is it easy to escape fights using ground pound to fly away like superman?
Is the ground pound of use at all, or will we forget it's there?
Quote from: Sly Instinct on December 18, 2014, 10:03:01 PMIs it easy to escape fights using ground pound to fly away like superman?No. It's impossible really. You only have 30 degrees or so of maneuverability in terms of how far you can ground pound.You also need to wait for it to be fully charged in order to use it, which is like 4 seconds.
Quote from: Fagcicle on December 19, 2014, 01:40:46 AMIs the ground pound of use at all, or will we forget it's there?You need to be positioned perfectly to use it, and aim exactly where the player is. Very hard to use.On the upside, it's absolutely terrifying to hear someone use it considering the sound department at 343i managed to make it sound like 1,000 pounds of metal was being propelled at the ground at 100mph.
Also those ships in the little intro scene for Truth...they look off to me, definitely a new design and very bulbous. New classification, or artistic re-imagining?

So far so good? The way you are describing it is basically best-case scenario so far-just be honest with us if there are any issues or things you dislike about it yeah?
Sprint needs to be nerfed even more. I'm still able to run away from battles. Though not as efficiently or easily in the past.
Why not just make it so if you sprint for 5+ seconds, you get sniped by God? That would solve it.
After a few games...it's bad. I don't like it. Too bright, the sword on the one map literally blinds me as I hold it. Movement is good. Gunplay is okay. Shields take long to recharge, lots and lots of annoying beeping. Announcer changed into shitty COD rip off. Power weapons are labeled and their timings announced to make it as casual as possible. The ground pound is useless. Graphics sub par (excusable for a beta though).Overall very unimpressed and I went in with an open mind, didn't read much before hand to sway my view. Tried to have faith. It's just not good, I don't enjoy it. I prefer Destiny's PvP, this feels like a barebones cod-Destiny mesh

This is just...too far 343...too far...Inb4lolujustwunhalol3.5It's not a hopeless mess but they managed to make a tough case near impossible to fix. They got the right idea trying to give Halo a new face but they made it another bro shooter...ugh.
I have got to say, watching the pro team play is seriously entertaining. Some of the skill jumps they pulled and map dom spots blew my mind. I want to see a full on competitive match between two experienced teams at this game.

I know Ghandi had some interesting ideas. So there's that.
