I fear the squatwalking hordes that will come soon

“The last item is a slight increase to movement speed while crouching. This has been increased to allow for crouching to be a more viable choice for players to flank and attack. The speed isn’t drastic, but after months of testing we’ve found it to be the sweet spot.”

Yes sir! They think squatwalking needed a boost and by god they are unleashing the hordes from hell upon Halo 5 with the Memories of Reach update!

Seriously, who in their right mind thought the crouch movement speed needed any improvement?
It would be far better to nerf the crouch by lowering it’s movement speed to 10% standard movement and lowering weapon accuracy down to 25% while CAMPING, SNEAKING, or being typical Tryhard / MLG / ESPORT YOINK in general.

Seriously serious here, why tweak the crotching it at all?

“Seriously serious” XD
Just another whiner here that can’t do a thing but complain.

Wait, how did I miss that?

Next question, why do that?

This post actually makes no sense. Weapon accuracy increases when crouched in real life so…

The amount of disrespect of that comes with a post like that is embarrassing, shame on you. But back on topic the reason they did that is to keep with the fast pace nature of the game. Plus they can probably get grenaded really fast.

Crouch shooting is the most effective it’s been in a while and crouching is a viable stealth tactic.

I don’t think it needs to be changed. If any I’d think crouching needs to be a bit slower.

It’s gonna rock with active cammo & a sword . . .

Shotguns are going to become godly now. Bring it on.

First, I love your title, got a chuckle out of it.
Second, I find it a bit premature to complain about something that you haven’t yet seen in action. They’ve done a pretty awesome job with balancing in this game, so let’s wait and see how the new crouch speed they’ve been testing plays before we decide it’s awful.

It honestly hurts to read posts like this, it’s as if you people can’t read.
They should remove radar, not encourage it’s use. Now all we’re going to get is people crouching waiting to see a red marker on there radar to try to be “sneaky”. All this does is slow the game down and encourage people to use nooby tactics.
“This game is made for Esports.” Haha, no, nothing is competitive about radar and faster moving crouchers.

But in a real combat situation, would you sprint out firing, or gather intelligence before deciding on a prudent move?

IRL combat? I’m busting out a phaeton. Then when it’s taken enough damage, I’d jump out without a parachute at 10k ft and land, without fall damage, in a tactically preferable location that I’ve fought on 100 times before, as I equip my prophets bane, speed boost, and advanced shields.

But that’s just me.

Yup, nothing more nothing less.

I actually just saw one of those cheeky kids this morning. He was just crouching wherever he went. My team was constantly caught off guard.

I don’t want to experience that again! Haha!

Frankly, I support this decision. The stealth aspect in Arena is often overlooked and this is a welcome decision.

I predict it’s nothing to be worried about. I don’t think it’s going to significantly change anything.

I have a stack of Lawgiver shotguns ready to be used in Warzone and I’m going to enjoy every minute.

The radar is already awful, lets make couch walking slightly more powerful!!! I agree. I wish radar wasn’t even in team arena to be honest.

Edit: Just an fyi, “MLG Esport yoinks” don’t want a radar at all so that crouching isn’t even relevant.

It is odd how a 26th century motion sensor can be fooled by somebody crouching.

If anything needs fixed it’s the radar. So many times where enemies come right behind you and you have no chance to turn around
