Is every time u guys do the same thing stop removing things from the game please just fire tashy he dosent get it ! First u guys remove skill jumps and then brough them back cuz off the backlash DONT do IT leave the snap slide alone is not a game breaking mechanic like the bxb was in the flights plus u allready balanced the weapon drop meta u can remove that but !

Holy schizo-posting Batman! It’s just a game brother, not that serious. Just run around, kill the other team, and try to relax.

Stop treating this game like your life depends on it

Snap slide is not an skill, it’s an exploit of a bug. It never was supposed to be in the game and in some cases it can be gamebreaking. For instance CTF on Aquarius you can imidiately jump with an snap slide from the middle platform to the flag. That’s also why they are going to fix that bug.

Snap Slide should be in the game. The weapon drop bind should be removed. I couldn’t agree more with this fellow Spartan.

Ah yes because I should be able to launch myself with ease halfway across the map to get the flag. Got it.

Sorry that you can’t exploit the game anymore with a bug that ruins everyone else’s fun?

As someone who also exploits the snap slide whenever I can, its only for the best. Their reason for fixing the bug is because its not an intentional game feature. There is no “skill gap” for something that isn’t meant to be there in the first place. Not everyone will know about it and they shouldn’t have to watch a tips-and-tricks video just to find out.
Secondly, its also because its such a consistently unpredictable action. Where, it can break the flow of the gameplay. If everyone know how to do it, might as well just go back to Halo 5 thrusters since that thurst-slide is still there.

Baloney!! Absolutely baloney.
That is simply not how it works. Unintended mechanics are usually great for high level play. HOWEVER. Snap Sliding IS outright problematic and NEEDS to be dealt with.
But let me tell you - without the intense emergent systems we had in Squadrons, that scene would have been far drier, but the skill ceiling was insanely high, that even I, a competing professional, could just barely touch it - and only for a moment. Some folks LIVED there.
Then there’s Smash Melee. I don’t even LIKE that game and I recognize the sheer skill necessary to pull that stuff off.

You’re writing with a keyboard, right? No need to type like you’re on a touchetone keypad.
Also, I disagree.

Yea, Honestly I could care less if this game goes the way of anthem, it got stale quick.
But he does make a point on how 343 has become very well known for missing the mark and taking things away.
Like for me I enjoyed firefight, clearly this game was meant to be a HCS crowdfunder so Firefight was probably never in the plans.
Thus I made my peace with Halo Infinite not being the game for me.
I actually uninstalled it to make some room for warzone 2.0 cus you know that’s going to take up hella space on my series x lol
thats a curbslide thrust. not snapslide.

jumping into a slope is pretty pretty predictable and dangerous. launching is also predictable and dangerous. i dont even use it much at all and i didnt care that it existed. The times i did try it. it was fun… aand i was looking forward to pros mastering it.

At the end of the day it’s a bug not a feature.
Deal with it, brothers.

Why does everything have to be about skill gap when it comes to the Halo community?
There needs to be a skill gap to use the (insert weapon) effectively,
There needs to be a skill gap to pull off (insert trick)
Just make the game fun to play for everyone and ensure everyone is having fun, win lose or draw.

I think it’s nuts that such a situational and high skill gap action is being removed. I’ve seen plenty of drop slide boosts in MM, but I’ve literally never seen anyone use a snap slide in live MM.
Fixing the most exploitative snap slides by adjusting maps style have been the solution, not the removal of a mechanic that has potential for huge highlight reels in HCS.
Especially since, like I said, it’s basically unused in standard MM.
The situational example 343 gave in the blog isn’t even a snap slide 
. Players boost slide+thrust to get from top mid into bases on aquarius, not a snap slide lol.
