Break Team Snipers - Check

Games Other Halo
1

Dearest 343,

There were often times when I wondered, “Now how could 343 manage to finally -Yoink- up Team Snipes? I mean, they came so close with Halo 4, but didn’t quite finish the job. How could they finish it off with H5?”. I’ve pondered upon this for a couple years, and while I came up empty…you…you 343…with Halo 5, you guys hit the sweet-spot, the nail on the head, knocked it out of the park! Congratulations! You’ve conquered another! You’ve officially ruined Team Snipers!

1. Sniper glare has no place in Halo, period. CHECK

2. Sniper glare in Team Snipers is similar to turning on your bright-lights for a drive in broad daylight on a sunny day with no clouds … Totally defeats the purpose. CHECK

3. Sniper glare in Team Snipers when games are being played on only smaller maps is by far your greatest achievement. I don’t think anybody can come up with a reason for this one. Usually you have a couple people who find some way to twist logic to ten-fold, but this one might actually stump everyone. Incredible work. CHECK

4. Team Snipers can be played on BTB maps. Since it is very unlikely that you ever played Halo much before (maybe at all), I thought I’d let you know it is OK to make use of those other 4 horrible maps. (for clarity’s sake: the 4 forge maps, for which you conveniently didn’t have to pay for or spend time on). You probably got this one by accident…but CHECK!

5. Your “new” aiming system the overwhelming majority of players hate really shines in this playlist. Just wanted to point that out and pat you guys on the backs, because there’s nothing like shoving something nobody wants down their throat (in this case the “new” aiming system). and then pretending it’s been fixed just as it becomes most painful for all the folks who never asked you to shove it down their throats but you went ahead and shoved. CHECK

6. I don’t understand why you would have removed grenades/radar…you’re sending me mixed signals here, guys! I thought the entire point was not making best possible experiences? See, with 1-5 you epically nail, and I mean goddam do you ever nail it with 1-5! I dunno. I suppose I’m nitpicking here, and I definitley do not mean to take away from the other incredible successes. I don’t understand why you removed the nades and radar, but it honestly doesn’t matter - You killed it, and that’s all that ultimately matters. X

I’m not sure if I’m being sarcastic anymore. The lack of plain logic begs the rational mind to consider whether your objective really is making the best experiences possible.

I just found you’d ruined my favorite Halo playlist ever, and, well I guess I just wanted to let you know. I honestly do not know whether you will take that as news for which you will celebrate, or accept it as the sincere feedback it is intended to be. You guys are killing Halo, piece by piece, and no amount of stupid -Yoink- troll posts received here will change that fact. It’s in your hands, and it’s your decisions to make. You can change all of this. “Change” is practically your collective middle name, so let’s not pretend like it’s too much to ask. Good luck. You need it.

Mods -

You can move this to wherever you want, so long as it has the same amount of opportunity to be seen by 343. I do not care what your mindless trolls have to say in defense of what is not defendable.

Edit: This’ll do. Probably better here actually. Thanks.

You seem like youre over reacting to me. Theres much more worthwhile content to complain over but to each his own. I dont really understand your writing style either, it just doesnt make much sense.

You should at least read news posts so you’ll know theyre working on making the aiming customizable.

Excellent points. All around, well thought out post. Thank you. It will take some time to fully wrap my head around some of this, but I assure you you’re feedback is already being taken into consideration!

BTW - Team Snipers is where I spend 60%+ of my time when playing Halo. Snipers is extremely important to me.

Yep, good luck to your endeavors. I know i would flip out hard if they messed up my favorite game mode (doubles) so you have every right to defend yours.

So essentially raging cos you don’t like a gametype anymore. Sniper glare just isn’t that big a deal
People on here lose their s##t over any old stuff nowadays.

Tell me about it. I don’t get why everyone is so upset. 343 is trying obviously.

Thanks for the feedback, SPC! Please do post if/when you have anything more to say about H5’s Team Sniper playlist!

! There ya go. I took care of it for you/him.

Shadow - You haven’t shared any of your own thoughts about H5’s Team Snipers. Don’t be shy.

Honestly haven’t played it, I just wanted correct grammar :slight_smile: though I am more than willing to make you happy and give it a shot.

Ah, I see. Well, given your presence here in this thread–about H5’s Team Snipers, and only H5 Team Snipers–you trying out/playing the mode for yourself certainly might be something you should consider doing. Maybe not. It’s rather subjective really.

Eh, not much of a sniper myself. If we’re ever in a game together I know you can be my wingman anytime or vice versa :wink: But I’ll definitely will play it, though since I have used the sniper rifle before I think the glare is meant to make sure that a sniper can’t get too comfy in one spot, after a couple kills relocate so that you can continue to catch you enemy off guard :slight_smile: I have a feeling we’ll be great friends

Unfortunately, barring some major changes, I will not be a part of Halo 5. I had planned to eventually buy my own copy of the game if/when 343 had proven to me that they were indeed changing their ways… As of now, I’ll stick to playing a couple matches on my friends xbox every once in a while and monitoring Waypoint/343 for some better news.

For the record (in case anybody from 343 ever saw this): Thank you for trying to give us release dates. That’s something I’ve always ridden you guys about. So, despite the fact that I will not be part of it myself, I still sincerely appreciated reading “the week of December 15th” for The Cartographers gift.

It’s not too bad. I’m not a no scope boss like I used to be, but I am getting a ton of assassinations and spartan charge kills. I have a few game clips I’m working on stringing together including a nasty ninja no-scope play.

Well I hope we can play in the future if those major changes you are looking for come, I honestly am enjoying Halo 5 mainly due to finding new friends and it has let me take a break from my major worthless time collecting electronic achievements. I do agree changes need to be happening in certain areas of the game though. I wish you the best of luck when those changes hopefully come to fruition.

I hope so too, man. Same to you.

Really?

See, I found scoping in to be harder than noscoping. I mean, people see where you are instantly, thrust out of the way, sprint to where you are, try to spartan charge you, then you proceed to make 4 no-scope attempts, all from around 5-15 meters apart…and seeing how bullet magnetism gives about 1-3 meters of leeway…I found it to be Team Noscopes…just without having to actually hit your targets.

If you’re enjoying it, then I’m happy for you though. I mean that.
