What are your thoughts on this? For me, I wouldn’t mind adding a second or two with the price of thrusters being loud to give away your position.
I think the amount of time is perfect, and including audio cues doesn’t really help for a variety of reasons. 1. many players are using just their TV which is a poor way to distinguish directionality of sound. 2. Many people play the game with the sound turned low so that they do not disturb others (parents, roommates, etc…) I typically play Halo at night while my room mate is sleeping, and turning it up to hear a faint hovering noise over all the gunshots and explosions would be rude. Halo is much more active at night, so it can be assumed that at the very least most people aren’t blasting the audio to hear minute audio cues. And before it comes up, no, I will not buy turtle beaches, there is no reason to pay $100 for any kind of headphones, and it is also more comfortable to just use the TV.
Also, if you are using it to try and maintain position long enough to kill someone, you are doing it wrong. Spartans can’t fly. It gives you a temporary vertical advantage which can be used to start your attack, or take down a weakened enemy.
I use my steelseries h wireless headset so I can hear everything its like playing counter strike global offensive makes it super easy to hear without disturbing others but more importantly I can hear thrusters and footsteps np
