Hello forum, what are your thoughts on making the grappling hook a passive ability that would greatly increase the dynamism of the game. And for balance, could make a cooldown of this ability.
No. This isn’t Apex and that’s the last thing I want it to be either.
That’s a hard no, no, no absolutely not.
For MP a really bad idea imho. This would take the gameplay too far away from the Halo Core gameplay and it will get silly instead. 343i already created a good mix from Classic Halo and new experiences. So many people love that Halo infinite feels indeed fresh but somehow classic (but it’s a lot of work to do, to make it better), perma grapplehook would destroy this nice feelings.
For Campaign more imaginable.
No, it is a power-up and needs to stay as such. I am 100% positive that we will get some action sack game types where we will have unlimited grapple and I am down for that, but in regular social and competitive it needs to give the player power others don’t have.
Put me down for a hard no as well. I am extremely happy that 343 made things like this pickups with limited charges, that way a little extra flavor can be added to the game without it being a deal breaker. It’s fun when something unexpected happens on the battlefield and you go “wow, I didn’t see that coming”. It’s not fun when it becomes “that again? It’s the same garbage over and over!”
That would be a cool playlist if everyone had unlimited grapple hook. Definitely not something for every other playlist.
Imagine BTB… no. haha
Game mode specific sure. But I agree with the others on leaving it as a pickup in the core modes.
It’s going to be a no for me dog.
It would be a lot of fun, but it would be too strong. Just one example, it would make it way too easy to grapple jack of everyone always has the grapple. Vehicles would be pointless.
Infinite ammo grapple is going to make some very fun custom games though!
Well, it would really increase the dynamics and make the game much more fun and dynamic. And about the hook to Apex, it’s only available from one person, as far as I remember
Definite no
Short answer: no.
Longer answer: Maybe in a Action Sack variant! That would be great!
Longest answer: I love the grapple hook and I enjoy the creativity and utility it brings but having everyone in any more dart around would be very challenging to deal with. I think the respawn rate on this item is decent on most maps enough to make it a part of an game mode. I also like how it’s not a given so you really have to think about your placement and not use the grapplehook to get you out of a bind.
No thank you, there is a reason it is an equipment item, if anything we should have a cooldown thruster like halo 5’s just with a doubled cooldown seeing it makes no sense that Gen 3 mjlnir wouldnt have a feature that gen 2 had, but a multiplayer sandbox is different from a lore sandbox which people tend to forget.
Nope. I don’t mind it in a fun playlist like fiesta, but for regular MP, absolutely not. I prefer those to be pickups as they are right now.
a quick and simple no . having it a pickup and limited is great it keeps the game as a normal pace game . and since you have limited amount you need to be careful with how you use it
