  • Moved the Needler to Bottom Nest - Moved the Plasma Pistol to ArchVersion 3

  • DMRs removed - Battle Rifles replace Boltshots at Red/Blue Ledge - Boltshots move to Red/Blue RampartThank you! We look forward to hearing your feedback.

Taking out plasma pistol is detremental to the gameplay on this map. Keep it .

I thought this as soon as I read it.

Keep both the plasma pistol and needler where they used to be and just have no storm rifle.

I really love all of the changes to Regret but I might have switched a few things around if it were my decision:

  • Remove DMRs - Place 1 DMR on Arch (Replace Needler) - Replace Storm Rifle (Tunnel) w/ Plasma Pistol to combat OS

The Plasma Pistol is still on the map, located under Plasma Caster.

My strategy revolved around the plasma pistol and fuel rod so I no longer like this map.

Less DMR and BR is never a good thing IMO. We should be able to start with them. Why are they shoving the pistol down ohr throat?

Really disappointed to see both the Fuel Rod and Plasma pistol removed from this map.

We need the plasma pistol to counter OS. Please add it back, maybe below caster/fuelrod.

Positives:

  • Storm Rifle changes

Negatives:

  • Moving Plasma Pistol
  • Replacing Fuel with Caster
  • Swapping DMR/Bolt
    -The new filter

Many of the changes on Regret seemed unnecessary and arbitrary. DMR/Plasma Pistol were IMO located in a perfect place to act as a anchor weapon while pushing out of a base and an OS counter for the team who missed out on it respectively. Also, Fuel is ideal for a map like Regret, with it’s verticality and relatively open nature. It gives players the perfect range to turn Fuel from a spammy version of the rocket launcher to a weapon that hinges on leading shots and predicting the other team’s movement.

Personally I thought fuel rod worked well on Regret, and plasma caster worked well on Truth; no idea why they were switched tbh.

awesome! just put noob combo and dmrs back! GG 343i

Hey peeps,
There isn’t a filter applied to Regret. Also, apologies on the patch notes. We haven’t removed the Plasma Pistol. It’s still on the map but was moved to “Bottom Nest”.

Also, keep an eye on this one tomorrow when the Memories of Reach update drops as teh Caster will get a significant buff. Curious to see how it plays on Regret.

Thanks for all of the feedback!

Good job on taking fuel rod out but put plasma pistol back in and this might actually become a good map.

I just read the plasma pistol thread, these changed are good.

Yup. Sorry about the confusion here.

Any other feedback from anyone? Needler’s location, Storm Rifle in Tunnel, etc

No thoughts from gameplay as I haven’t gotten around to this map yet in the summer preview, but I think Regret in general had nicer lighting and textures in the beta:

Incredible graphics in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDpI1BGO9Pc

and

this lighting: https://content.halocdn.com/media/Default/games/halo-5-guardians/media/regret-gallery/h5-mp-beta-establishing-regret-lockbox-1e3894551a4d42db8a58007a53b0e50b.jpg

The covenant textures don’t pop as much on my game as they did in that video of the beta. I wish I could have gotten the chance to play the beta, it looked so pretty D:
Hopefully Halo 6 will look that nice :3

Plasma caster was a good addition… Would put atleast one storm rifle in top mid that so plasma caster and Strom rifle could counter eachother… Depending on how you use them

I don’t like plasma caster
