At the end of the day, the developers can make a map as large or small, closed or open as they like. At that point, the only thing thatâs really changing is the size of the Spartans on the map. Movement speed is almost irrelevant when you look at gameplay overall.

Absolutely. I wouldnât deny that. I was more just thinking aloud.

I feel that in H5 there is no true stafing in 1v1 gunfights, most encounters are determined by who has the quicker 5 shot and people use tactics like crouch shooting and thrusting.

> Definitely agree with your first point. If you play the new Halo 3 throwback game mode, you can actually see how much aim assist affects gun fights. I was always a below average sniper in Halo, but I can land crazy headshots and 4 shots against good players. You can tell the game is revolved around armor abilities, which makes sense since everybodyâs thrustering and sprinting. And yes, the double reticle messes me up more than it helps. Itâs a distraction for the sake of looking cool.
I donât call H5 armor abilities, they are spartan abilities, Armor abilities were part of the inventory system.
No one calls them equipment in Reach or H4. Now sprint in H4 is not an armor ability. It is the first spartan ability.
Shouldnât happen thatâs all 343 should make there own vision and not Bungies Art style fine acceptable but donât full on copy bungie, 343 need a legacy of there own, not follow Bungies shadows.

> Exiting a spawn point when you are outgunned requires unpredictable movement. Iâm not sure simply increasing the BMR would help that much. The answer is spawning in a safe spot (which needs a bigger map with more options) or having some movement mechanics to aid an escape.
You were always able to move unpredictable before these mechanics were introduced, but you also had the ability to return fire and keep the spawn trappers down, while moving optimally.
Thrusters have a long cooldown, clamber is basically only usable on suitable ledges, and is sprint really that âunpredictableâ? Iâd imagine a competent player would calculate the earliest time a sprinting player would arrive at a specific location if that calculating player knew the other playerâs starting location. If the sprinting player doesnât arrive at the rough time, that player wasnât sprinting, and as such can arrive at any moment, however, that does not make sprint in any way unique in that regard.
I could, for whatever reason I had, in any game not featuring a manual speed boost, slow down at any point to delay my arrival, I could stop and wait, to delay my arrival.
Not to mention, I wouldnât implement a global mechanic which affect all modes of the entire game, for a specific issue which happens in some matches in the multiplayer mode.
> 2585548714655118;2898:
> Small intense maps lend themselves to limited spawn points and one side dominating through âmap controlâ. No thanks.
That would come down to the problem being the map and/or the spawn system being insufficient for the recommended amount of players on the map.
Alternatively it could be that the skill difference in the match up is sufficiently big for that to happen, which would be in the realms of the MM system which pairs the teams together.

You know, i343âs first own vision of Halo was Halo 4, where every feature and mechanic introduced could be found in some way or form, in other at that time popular shooters, most prominently CoD. Keep in mind that they had made an early version which playtesters liked, which played like the âtraditional Haloâ, but to the developers it was âtoo traditionalâ, scrapped that and made their own version.
Halo 5 rolls out and, it had all sorts of issues, with mechanics yet again being one of the issues some have with the game.
Their legacy so far, is Halo 4 (CoD) with a multitude of PR hiccups and nightmares as well as questionable developer videos as far as the finished product goes.
Halo MCC launch disaster, Halo 5âs marketing campaign being so unrelated to the game it could very well have been for an entirely different product, Halo 5âs campaign, lack of content, and among other things, the mechanics again.
i343 was created by Microsoft to continue making Halo, itâd have been nice of i343 to say right there and then that they planned to make Halo which does not resemble what the fans were used to, in artstyle, game mechanics / experience and even sound design, because i343 wanted to make their own games with Halo slapped on top of it.
It has been âback to the rootsâ, âHalo fans will enjoyâ, âHalo fans will be happyâ and so forth.
Ironically to me, Bungie is almost only mentioned, or any of its titles, when someone pro-advanced movement, tells someone anti-advanced what they want, or when a person from the pro-group fails to understand that there arenât many in the anti-group which are opposed to all change, and could see some of the new additions used in the future, or entirely other features and mechanics.

Iâm sorry but I donât really agree with your first point. Halo 3âs strafing was okay, but not that good overall and the problem was movement acceleration. Every time you start to move you arenât moving instantly at top speed because you have to reach it first which takes an x amount of time. In H3 the acceleration is lower than, say, CE so in the end strafing feels a bit clunky, but you can still use it to shift your hitbox to the point where it gives you an advantage over not doing it.
Halo 5 has also an okay strafing, but a more responsive crouch allows to mix things up a bit more. I have no idea about the movement acceleration values as I couldnât find them after a quick search, but they donât feel that different. Overall I donât feel like thereâs a huge difference as you suggested. There are so many other reasons why you could feel this difference like projectile vs hitscan, hit detection, random spread in H3, etc.

Itâs been documented that Halo CE and 3 share the same strafe acceleration. See: https://web.archive.org/web/20140316222808/www.tiedtheleader.com/2012/11/16/halo-analysis-strafing/

Wow this was a very interesting and surprising read. I always read that Halo CE had a faster movement acceleration and bla bla bla you probably know what Iâm talking about. Any chance there is something similar about Halo 5 out there? Iâd like to see a comparison with it too. This is very exhaustive for the games on the MCC I have to say.
Itâs crazy how many facts we think as given are just an⌠illusion?
Also itâs a shame the video went lost, Iâd have enjoyed watching it.

Unfortunately I donât know of anyone having done it in Halo 5. Although I thought it canât be that hard to do. I might try and see what I get.
Over the years Iâve learned that most of what people say about the movement and aiming in Halo games is anecdotal word of mouth, and therefore often wrong. Unless itâs backed by real data from the game files, or by in-game experiments, itâs good to take with a grain of salt.

This is true, but some of us basically grew up with certain âfactsâ that sometimes you donât even question them, when you always should like in everyday life. The thing that I found weird is that even though Halo has been so popular over the years some data, values, etc. are pretty hard to find or non-existent at all. While other stuff are very common knowledge and you can find so many sources about them. Anyway, let us know if you find/do anything about Halo 5 strafing speed, Iâm sure itâd be interesting.

I did some tests, and it appears that at 60 fps the maximum strafe speed is reached in 12 frames in Halo 5, which is consistent in a weird way with the earlier games, but essentially doubled since the TTL results were at 30 fps.
Thereâs a bit of uncertainty on at which frame exactly the maximum speed is reached because of some frame rate syncing issues, which causes duplicate frames in the footage.

This is pretty interesting, so basically if what you found out is correct and I understood correctly they went with the same strafe speed even in Halo 5⌠which is consistent with the findings of the link you sent, so I wouldnât be surprised. I wonder if theyâll do the same with Halo Infinite at this point? Iâm kind of sad there arenât more videos (other than âHow to strafeâ) on the matter since itâs pretty much a fundamental mechanic in FPS games and Halo, it would have been cool to see a direct and thoughtful comparison between games.

No, what the result implies is that Halo 5 gets to maximum strafe speed twice as fast as previous games. Iâd assume itâs deliberate, but the coincidence almost seems like an artifact of going from 30 to 60 fps, as if it was hardcoded to increment by a certain percentage every frame. But thatâs just speculation. In any case, since Halo Infinite will be on a completely new engine, they would end up redoing the movement, and coincidentally end up with a different movement acceleration. I guess the holy grail would be to get it as a custom game parameter.

I donât want that. I like the modern playstyle over the turtle style that was H2/H3.

Yea but you have to think you are further in the future with in each halo game, obviously there is going to be thrusters and obviously they are going to be sprint. Iâm a Hardcore Halo fan and I donât necessary hate Halo 4/5 itâs just that those two games donât bring me nostalgia and good fun memories like classics did I mean classics where my childhood.

So does that mean that you want infinite to be a clone of Halo 5? If wanting a classic Halo game means wanting a clone of Halo 2 or 3 to you, does that same logic apply to your preference of the modern style?
