Rightio so tonight I jumped into the HCS playlist to see how different it was, mainly because I couldn’t get a game in team arena.
No autos off spawn?
The playlist plays so differently and removes one core aspect (imo) of Halo; ensuring you have the right weapon out for the right situation. Using magnums in CQB feels really weird.
It took a few games to adjust and I do prefer how it plays but how do people feel about the lack of autos?
(Again to reiterate - my favourite playlist, much more tension, but plays really differently and took me aback).
Well some seem to think the only skill in Halo should be accuracy with a precision weapon. It takes some getting used to but the play style is kinda bland to me. The appeal of Halo to me was the variety of weapons. One thing I love about H5 is in multiplayer majority of the weapons are actually useful now and all fill roles. But because some feel they deserve some sort of merit badge for only using precision weapons they think the autos are to powerful because you have to be really good to out pistol some one who has an AR or SMG in cqc. But to me that is how it should be… Use the correct weapon for the situation, knowing when to change up your weapons depending on where you are on the map or where your enemies maybe is a skill in my book.

Generally how I feel. I mean having swat mixed in might not hurt if it’s one in every 10 matches or so but yeah, autos are part of the halo sandbox so you should be testing people’s ability with them too to find out who is really the best.
