Halo 5 should be an arcade shooter while halo infinite is an arena shooter

how fast did the pistol shoot ? 100 rpm, 150 rpm or 200 rpm ?

I don’t remember? It wasn’t made apparent in the beta nor in release, nor in any Halo game. You’d have to look it up externally or test it yourself. And I’m not even willing to look it up to play your little quizlet.

And yeah, I could just look that information up.

you didnt play it… if you did you would have instantly said it was just like the “gunfighter” pistol in both damage and speed.

From that alone, you’re convinced that I didn’t play the beta??
Dude, it was seven years ago, and it only lasted three weeks.

its hard to forget when that was a starting weapons for the entire beta.

SEVEN YEARS AGO.
Why would I remember such a small detail that literally doesn’t matter anymore?

zzz…

we are done here 20 characters.

You’re the one who doesn’t even know the difference between an arcade shooter and an arena shooter.

arcade shooter focus on character gameplay like arcade racers its gameplay is boosted to have fun as a focus an area shooter relies on the map your character is in and is typically balanced with competition as a focus

these definitions have alot of breathing room and are best applied to individual games id say titanfall 2 is an arcade shooter

your the one that needs the last word… shame you have nothing of value to say.

You’re telling me that I didn’t play the beta because I don’t completely agree with you. You have no reason to antagonize me over this because I also like the Halo 5 beta, and I wish Halo were more like it going forward.

But whether I played the beta or not doesn’t change the fact that you’re wholly misinterpreting what an arcade shooter is and what an arena shooter is. Every Halo fits the bill of an arena shooter.

halo wars dosent…

20 characters.

Obviously, I’m not referring to the RTS games, come on.

The core gameplay did not drastically change in between the December 2014 beta and October 2015 retail. Idk what kind of Mandela Effect you’re experiencing. Spartan abilities, movement, etc was nigh unchanged and the only notable thing that comes to mind is the victory animation showcasing the winning team and team colors being brightened because Blue team got complaints of blending in too well

Graphics and sounds was down graded

Abilities/
sholder charge changed to only 1 shot on a back hit

Ground pounds charge time was increase and damage/range was halfed

Sprint went from 2x to 1.5x

Slide changed to have less boost

Glide time was also halfed

Weapons/
BR changed to do less damage and fire slower

Pistol went from 200rpm to 140rpm

Dmr less range

Assult rifle less body damage

SMG halfed health damage

Sniper and shotgun aim assist and handling nerf

Grenada damage/area halfed

Hydrip slower lock on time and less damage

Sword lunge halfed

All weapon aim assist was tuned

Opinion: the only good changes I liked was the sheild sounds being made lower and quiter and the flinch being toned down other then that you can clearly see this have is watered down

Its half of what it should be.

After reading all of your suggested changes, all I have to say is…you’re clearly in the wrong franchise. A large amount of your suggestions sound like mechanics that already exist in other franchises (almost all of your ability changes were clearly ripped straight from Destiny 2 and CoD), and the weapon tuning suggestions would ruin the game as it would turn it into practically a carbon copy of Call of Duty Modern Warfare in terms of ttks and mechanical issues, which is not all what Halo is supposed to be.
Also, you’ve repeatedly used the rather weak defense of bringing up obscure details from Halo 5’s beta that no one is going to remember unless they ONLY played at beta and then NEVER played the game again afterwards. A better defense would be actually explaining the logic behind your points rather than looking like a childish moron who can’t take constructive criticism properly.
You also use RTS games as an example in a debate regarding ARENA FPS’s. You might as well start bringing Starcraft into the conversation with that type of logic.
I know that if you even do respond all you’re going to spout is more childish nonsense, so i wouldn’t even bother if i were you, as in the end you’ll only make yourself look even more illegitimate.

The changings in talking about are personal taste

The beta was completely different from the current game

I bring up halo wars as an example that halo can be what ever style game it wants to be it could for an exaplme be a flight sim

If the game resembled my idea for it call of duty ttk would be 2x faster then it

Go ahead and use more personal attacks it just shows what you actually care about

I’d rather talk about how to improve the game so it can step out of halo 3s shadow

Dont bother responding because you have nothing of value to add to this conversation

That entire comment is very hypocritical of you. I can’t fix your blindness, so have fun crashing.
Don’t bother responding because you have nothing of value to add to these forums.

You just ruined your own argument. To put in simple terms so you can comprehend, the reason the beta was a completely different game was because it was clearly LESS REFINED. Any player with common sense can deduce that. The beta had a ton of problems, hence the terrible launch of the game, and 343 worked those problems out over the few years following the beta’s release.
Halo has always had a very specific and VERY SUCCESSFUL identity as a First Person Arena shooter. Anytime it has differed from that identity it has had a significant reduction in player popularity (Halo Wars 2 is a great example of why changing the identity doesn’t work in the long run).
You said you wanted to increase weapon handling and ttk scaling, which would by all logical accounts bring it closer to CoD ttks, not farther away (can’t do basic math huh?).
You started with the personal attacks towards another guy so thanks for also clarifying to everyone just how much of a hypocrite you truly are.
Additionally, Halo 5 MP is a different beast to Halo 3, so there’s no shadow outside of the obvious factor that the campaign was awful (too late to change that).
All of your direct responses to others have been personal attacks on individual experience and unnecessary dialogue that contributes nothing, so: “Don’t bother responding because you have nothing of value to add to this conversation.”

zzzz… ow your done ? k bye.
