Spoiler Halo Mega Thread

A wide open map like Blood Gulch wouldn't be fun to play on because of the DMR's ridiculous range and damage it does to vehicles.

Have it only spawn in 2 areas every 60 seconds = problemo solved?

That could work, but then again I haven't played Halo 5 yet so I don't know how the DMR actually is in that game.

I'm just going off of my Hemorrhage experience from Reach.

tbh it has less ammo and does less damage to vehicles from what I recall. Azumarill probably knows the exact number of shots it takes to kill each vehicle.

Aside from the smoke effects on the map, that valhalla remake is pretty nice. I'd prefer blood gulch though. Or anything else, really, that has enough space to actually drive a vehicle. It seems like 343 have a really adverse fear of big open spaces as I can't think of a single map by them where you could drive a 'hog at full speed without crashing into something.

It'd be worth it to use a tank and be able to see where your attackers are coming from.

The more I play this game the more I realize that the more clutter there is, the better it is for driving vehicles because you can block lines of sight. I made the mistake of using a banshee ultra on apex 7. Melted in seconds before I could even reach a base. There's way too much airspace and open spots.

Honestly, the best map for any kind of vehicle combat is Escape from ARC. It's got the wide tracts with bits of cover, but enough close space for high jacking to still work. Every other warzone map is just shit for vehicles.

Na. DMR is full powered up vehicle rape machine. Adding kinetic bolts to one is just.......no.

Lemon if you are still alive I dare you to add my gamertag on that list in the OP.

It's 28 DMR shots on a Warthog's weak spot to destroy.  37 anywhere else.  Weak spots are pretty negligible, considering they're tiny ass targets on fast moving vehicles, with zero aim assist applied.

Then consider that based off the current BTB maps, DMRs are treated as mid-tier power weapons, not starting weapons.

Then consider how BTB randoms are too stupid to understand the logic behind shooting a vehicle with anything other than a power weapon.

Next update will feature the gravity hammer, a new map, fiesta modifiers, and the ball gametype.

The ball gametype can be customized with stuff like:
-Modifying carrier traits: spotting, multi-boosting, ball melee damage, etc...
-Modifying scoring: points for arming (Assault), points for holding (Oddball), points for throwing into zone (Ricochet)
-You can enable or disable ball throwing
-You can have the bomb cycle spawns and have multiple arm points

There's also probably going to be a griffball playlist on launch.


Also:

Pretty big update. I'm excited. Hope the map isn't another remix.

Actually not really. People, no matter how sub-rock tier intelligence they have, have caught on that vehicles are still made of napkins. And think about it. BR's, SMG's, and AR's still do pretty decent damage to vehicles. The DMR is king of the damage and therefore always considered first.

But think about it. 37 DMR shots to take out a warthog? With the addition of only one teammate with half a brain that slims down to only 18-19 shots required.

In every match, there's usually two to four teammates who top the leaderboards. These people are usually semi-compotent and reasonably intelligent, and know how to focus on priority targets on the enemy team. With four people shooting a hog all it takes is 9 shots on one person's part.

And we haven't even gotten to kinetic bolts either. That's just a run of the mill DMR. Ususally everybody and their mother carries kinetic bolt weapons on them these days.

Also, do you know the monkey see monkey do effect? It especially works well in Halo when you break a map or something or do some glitch and another player sees you. In minutes they'll all be trying.

The same applies to shooting a vehicle.

Will the new map actually be a new map and not a remix?

Remix of a remix.

Arena is fun but it lacks the content to support it.

Everything else in the game sucks.

I thought that the Prometheans were well made in Halo 5. Much better than 4.

Plus Warzone is still pretty fun. As there is always a battle. Sure enemies are static but if they were running around you'd probably get problems happening. I WOULD like if AI enemies could try to take over your points and make them neutral though.


Don't worry i'll make sure Custom Games is fun as hell.

By the way, would you be okay if Game Night was pushed back to saturday?

damn that's really stupid

i've had problems like that before, especially with tanks. umm, a tank going 1mph shouldn't send me to the moon, just sayin'

and speaking of tanks, can we please stop with the "boarding" into the turrets? it happens a lot with the wraith, i want to board it, but i just end up hopping into the turret... at that point, i'm pretty much fucked

Page 132: It has been many days, and yet still Lemon hasn't made an appearance. My hope is beginning to wear thin. For, if Lemon isn't around to defend the perfectly valid complaints being proposed against 343 and Halo 5, who will be there to carry on the mantle? Who will stand up and say; "This was intended to be in the game" when an unbalanced or downright terrible feature is pointed out? Who will be there to say; "343 didn't have enough time/resources for what they were hoping for" when the Campaign ending is ridiculed?

These are dark times, and I pray that Lemon returns before that last spark of hope fades in the night.

He has to be dead. He couldn't go this long without shilling.

Anyone know Lemon's real name or something?

Just to see if their are any obituaries online.

Lord Admirals still posts so he can defend this shit stain which is on the underwear of Halo.

This is like the fifth time you've spammed this video.  Let it go.

GRIFBALL IS COMING

Hostball hasn't been the same since Halo 3

Yeah, I think I can basically confirm that Breakout is the least populated playlist in the game. I swear, I was partnered with each and every one of these people. Also, as expected, teaming and matching is just plain cancer.

You know what it's not like 343 cant design good maps

There were some good ones in Halo 4

I suspect everything now is so fucked up because the tryhards 343i hired  intentionaly had them make spawn camping easy.

GRIFBALL IS COMING

Hostball hasn't been the same since Halo 3

Should be even better. 343i basically let the Grifball Community design Halo 5's gravity hammer.

This is a pretty cool remake, if it even counts as that. This area from Delta Halo always seemed like a cool place to have a multiplayer map and this guy did exactly that.

My forge urge is soaring through the roof right now.
