Potential Halo 5 news from Frankie. take with a grain of salt.
So, some of you May have seen this already, (scroll down to see Stinkles post) it’s a post on Neogaf by Stinkles aka Frank O’Connor
It reads:
60 fps
Dedis
Focus on classic Halo fundamentals
Bigger setpieces (h3 Scarabs not Reach Scarabs!)
Cull all weapons except CE pistol
Grenades drop CE pistols instead of exploding
Take advantage of growing dubstep scene for weapon sounds
The first two we already knew, but the following two have me very excited. Then however, When Frank says silly things along side serious things, can we trust him?
I guess time will tell. But “Focus on classic Halo fundamentals” has me very excited. As do the “bigger setpieces” as Halo 4 was severely lacking large scale campaign battles.
What do you think this means? A return to classic Halo? I guess that all depends on what you think of as “Classic Halo Fundamentals.” When I read that, I thought of Bungie’s “Golden triangle” of “Guns, Grenades, Melee.”
And wile “bigger setpieces” were expected from the start, I’m glad to see some acknowledgement of this. The Scarab comparison intrigues me. As we well know, the Scarab battles in Halo 3 were huge, often having to deal with 2 scarabs, a handful of Ground troops, and Ghosts at the same time. Now, replace “Scarab” with “War Sphinx” maybe I’m getting ahead of myself.
Edit: another thought just occurred to me. He could just be joking, after all, the NeoGaf thread is “what do you want in Halo 5?” Frank could just be trolling and restating what we’ve said 100-plus times. That we want even starts and larger battles in campaign. Never-the-less, his post intrigues me.
