Hey guys! Ok, so I’m a bit of a -Yoink- when it comes to games. If I see an exploit, I am probably going to use it, because I am that guy. Anyway, I don’t like exploits, so I would like to point one out before launch so that maybe the game will be more balanced and have one less problem. During my short time with the beta over the weekend, I made use of a tactic that allowed me to essentially thrust 2 times in a row. Shoulder charging and thrusting aren’t tied together! In my experience, shoulder charging is next to useless for hitting enemies, so instead I used it to move more quickly. My suggestion is that shoulder charge should be considered a thrust move, and should start the cool down for your next thrust. Ideally, since I find shoulder charging useless, it should be replaced with some other, more creative and useful, ability.
I’m with you on this, I used it a couple of times myself and what I noticed is that it doesn’t really give you the same distance as the thruster pack. Sliding has the same effect though and sliding down an edge allows you to go down it faster. It’s not really broken nor an exploit but it should definately go on your thruster pack hence it’s being used in both scenarios.
I did the same thing bro, I agree with you that’s one of the few things really needs change. A skilled player could use that to totally rape the other team lol. Of course skill gap is good for competitive gameplay, that being said I’m not even too good at halo anymore and I have used that trick to become a blur and then death to my enemies easy.
Lol can’t imagine what a truly great player could do with this.
This is what a Beta is for. 343i should take note of this.
Its perfect how it is bro. If they change to how you want it you would see people use it as much the assassination which super low. The down fall using the charge boost is if you miss your enemy your open for a free kill. But if your thinking fast you can use the thruster pack to get out as fast as possible. Now it doesn’t always work using the thruster pack but if you time it right it can help you out a lot. Which in my experiences is very useful.
Haven’t played it yet, but this sounds like it should change. I don’t think sliding should start the cooldown, however.
