Last night, 343i released a video on the Halo YouTube channel showcasing some of the different combos we can use to get the higher ground in Halo 5 multiplayer. Link here. There were quite a few good ones, Sprint + Slide + Jump + Thrust and a few others like how to combine Clamber and Crouch Jumping. But there’s more than just that for combinations that the Spartan Abilities will be created. What are some you want to experiment with and hope to put to good use once Halo 5 launches on Tuesday? Give the community any amount of combos you want!
Trust (Backwards) + Stabilizer + Ground Pound - Something I could see being useful for getting to enemies below you on maps such as Truth or Regret while escaping from a firefight at your current location. You thrust backwards near a ledge, falling off, as you fall you want to use stabilizers to help calculate your ground pound, once you’ve found the enemy/spot you ground pound to it! - Trust (Sideways) + Ground Pound - Another quick escape or quick kill when near a ledge is thrust to the sides off a ledge so that you are in the air then go in for a quick ground pound to help you escape an enemy or kill an unsuspecting one. I can see this one being helpful on The Rig. - Spartan Charge/Thrusters + Clamber - Useful for getting to ledges in the air, simply spartan charge off the ground and quickly clamber to the ledge you want to go to. Not sure if clamber can be used right after a spartan charge but I wanted to see some combo use it so why not?Note: I know they call it chaining in the video but who doesn’t want a combo breaker?

I’m not sure how the Spartan Charge works right now, but in the beta you were locked in the animation for a little while, so I’m not sure how well you could chain that ability with another. The only time I used it, however, was to actually charge an enemy, so it might work out when using it to charge off an edge or something.

Yeah that is true, I don’t think I ever used it but did watch some. The last one was mostly inspired by the video where someone spartan charged an enemy, bringing his shields down but, missed the chance to follow the enemy who clambered to a higher platform and had to wait for him to jump down again to get the kill.
