hello everyone,
so alot of people have been complaining about COD influences in the past few halo games, which started with reach. Sprint, bloom etc.
While i haven’t played halo 5, i have seen a decent amount and have read about it on these forums. the biggest issues really seem to be sprint and “ads”.
Sprint first. i don’t mind the inclusion of sprint but i don’t really like how you can just run away from a battle so easily. 343 have tried to balance it by not letting your shields recharge if you sprint, which seems okay… but, i did read what i believe to be a better solution which is that if you’ve taken any damage at all you can’t sprint until your shields are fully recharged. (not my idea) that way players can’t just run away from a losing battle.
Now ADS. From what i’ve seen, every? weapon has a scope. I really like the inclusion of that and have wanted scopes on the AR and pistol… and
everything that didn’t for a while. But! not the way that they’ve done it. IMO it should be the way the previous games had it where the zoom took up the entire scree and was toggled. it felt better and unique to other major fps shooters.
One thing i really don’t like though, is how it’s hold LT for smart scope (i believe) This makes it feel a little more generik to me. Alot of modern shooters that i can think of has its controls as hold LT to aim and hold RT to shoot. (cod, battlefield, destiny, gears of war, army of two…) LT/RT just feels a little standard to me. One of the many things i really liked about halo was the unique controls compared to other games.
This is all just my opinion. i haven’t played the game yet lol. While i can see some influences from other games, i don’t believe it’s going to play or feel anything like them.
Thanks for reading.
