anyone have any idea if they plan on adding a Team BR / DMR game type?
I’m sick of these auto weapons and pistol starts and map pickups
I play a fair bit of SWAT mostly because I like precision weapons, I’d def be down to play a game mode like you described.
Its called Warzone and BTB, you can spawn with a BR in both of them modes.
A 4v4 gamemode both slayer and objective starts with the BR would be great. And If i get really picky. A remake of Halo 3 The Pit map with Slayer BRs or CTF BRs would be amazing too.
Honestly…this is the first Halo game where I actually like the vanilla game. Like for instance…vanilla Halo 3 was the worst game I’ve ever played. It was night and day. Playing BR starts/MLG made it one of my favorite games. But vanilla Halo 3? Unbelievably retarded.
I actually can stand vanilla Halo 5 with the pistol starts which is weird.
HOWEVER…I do indeed miss BR starts a still. I really want and hope they add it at least somewhere.
I just watched Snipedown play an FFA tournament with BR starts…it was glorious.
I was glad to see that big team battle has BR starts. Even though I don’t really like BTB that much.
Default weapon spawns is wheat made the classic Halo’s more fun. You have to find better weapons and race to power weapons and fight for vehicles. it shows your true skill level. BR starts and DMR starts ruined the last few Halo games. No one should start a game able to shoot you across the map. It’s no fun when EVERYONE has a BR and that’s it. In the classics, and now Halo 5, you have to know how to use all the weapons perfectly, if you want to be good. Like I said, it shows your true skill. This isn’t CoD, a game that’s designed to make you feel like a BA and whoever sees who first wins the fight.
I don’t know how well all BR would play in a 4 vs 4 game. The few spawns the gun has on some of the maps turn the weapon into almost a power weapon. If you put the BR in everyone’s hand the games on smaller maps won’t play that well. Players would die insanely quick if everyone had a BR. Think about it.
You already die quickly in 1 vs 1 battles between BRs, now add team shooting along with slow to no shield recharging.
I have to say, the current settings work for this game.
DMRs could NEVER be a spawning weapon. If they ever implemented a BR start for 4 vs 4 games, they would have to incorporate NO PRIVATE CHAT because you must be able to talk with your teammates or you’d get run over. 1 vs 2 would NEVER win in this case. It’s hard enough to win already to at least got 1 for 1 in a 2 vs 1. Change the pistol into a BR and that’s next to impossible.

BR starts worked in the past. halo 3 added BR starts and it was glorious in MY OPINION.

Listen, there’s no problem with you enjoying AR starts and enjoying the dynamic if offers by racing to weapon pickups, but please don’t say it takes more skill or shows true skill. First off, Halo one default weapon spawns had a pistol which was the strongest gun in any Halo so if you go by the classic definition then not spawning with a BR in Halo 2 and Halo 3 went against the traditional setting. Second, the only way to determine what takes the most skill is to analyze how professionals play. MLG has always had BR starts and no radar for a reason, because that takes the most skill. This is a fact, it is not a debate. You wouldn’t say college athletes are superior to professional athletes would you? The rules are different between the too, but everyone agrees that college is for amateurs who one day hope to play at the pro level. Gaming works the same way. The most skilled anything in this world is determined by society in how professionals play. That’s how it’s always been judged and will always continue to be judged.

The pit was with training right? Middle hallway Had invisibilty. Side hallway rockets. Over sheild underneath sword?
If this is the same map this map I is where I taught myself to use the BR. They had those Pop Ups on the walls that activated when you walked by lol.

Yes, they work a game that doesn’t have maps designed for sprint. You had the ability to move and put shots on target and your shields also came back faster. The default recharge delay in Halo 5 is stupid slow, even when not trying to sprint.
It won’t work well at all in H5. As I already stated, the BR in maps already is a power weapon in itself.

You certainly have a right to feel that way, but I played Halo 5 beta. I hated AR/Pistol starts with a passion. I loved BR start week and played the game non-stop. This is how it will always be, there will be those who love AR and those who love BR, Halo should always have separate playlists for both because there’s always been enough of the community who would enjoy one or the other.

this
I by no means like the AR but I do enjoy the pistol battles over the BR (right now). The pistol battles show who can shot because I have to say the BR’s have much more aim assist than the pistol.
I wouldn’t be made if they made a playlist for BRs only, it’s always worth a trial and error period.
