I actually like the new features...

Games Halo 5: Guardians

To be honest with you at first glance the Halo 5: Guardians game play is not what I or any Halo fan expected, but even as a long term Halo fan since the start I actually like the new features being added to the game.

If 343 were to just create another Halo with no new game mechanics and create nothing but new maps and better graphics with more game types I myself as a fan would not be to happy about that as I am just getting the same content over and over again. These new game play mechanics add to the game and they look promising, some of them for the most part.

For one smart scope is not ADS its just a prettier version of what we are used to when scoped, instead of having a circle with a ridicule we have smart scope and it looks beautiful.

Thruster packs actually add to the mobility of Spartans and now it actually looks like I’m playing a spartan the ones they describe in the books. These new movements will add to game play and make for some interesting match made games.

Ground pound is a little concerning at the moment, I don’t see a point of it but it definitely looks cool, most likely the first thing to be nerfed.

Slide is not a big issue I don’t see the issue people have with this one really, you only can slide after sprinting for a while and even so sprinting does not let your shields recharge which forces people to stay and fight rather than run away.

Clamber, skill jumps are still going to be there community can make some awesome jump puzzles with this feature.

Charge I hope is not a one hit kill no matter what.

What do you think? To me i like the way it looks and can’t wait to play, looks very interesting.

You know what I’m curious about? The Spartans shouting things out to eachother. Or was that the players in the Stream?

Nope. Spartans do talk in the game. I kinda like it, But at the same time, I dislike it.

I wonder if there will be unlockable voices, a’la Halo Reach firefight.

343i really needs to pay attention of how ground pound effects gameplay. I’m okay with the tackle that lowers shields but the ground pound is pushing it into more of a melee fest. What’s the point of swords if you already do heavy melee damage through abilities?

I hope charge affects vehicles. Maybe the player can charge the side of a warthog and make it roll.

Some of them seem cool
