Thoughts on double jumping, wall running etc.

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

most of the new fps releases are having features like double jumping, wall running, thrusters etc. so i wanted peoples opinion on halo including this. personally the only thing i would find to be an interesting addition is wall running, it is very fun in titanfall but im not sure how well it translates into halo.

also, has anyone done a break down of all the abilities shown in the trailer? i see a hulk smash thing but im not sold on them

Here’s a good thread to discuss double jumping in.

its new spartan abilities, who knows what 343 has planned so far, but i think a double jump using your thrusters of course is wounderfull and grabbing onto a ledge but no wall running, spartans a nearly 2000 lbs, i dont think it would work

Take All of that crap and get it out of halo… Not where it belongs

if any of that stuff ever appeared in Halo I’d boycott i343 for life.

I can see Double jump working in some aspect but wall running is just not necessary for Halo’s playstyle.

Thrust toward ground
Thrust jump
Thrust slide/evade
sounds good but I dont want a full double jump imo

I have mixed feelings on this. I’m not exactly a purist and am usually an advocate for trying new things(within reason, of course), but honestly even I don’t think halo needs any of these things. At most a thruster that can be used for evading and maybe a boosted jump might be ok, but we definitely don’t need wall running or full on jetpacks. Just because a lot of games are doing it doesn’t mean halo has to, and this I think falls into the category of “significant changes to gameplay,” where carefully must we tread. If i want to run all over a map I’ll load Titanfall. Or hell, I can load up Destiny once it comes out, since that game also has good vertical mobility. Or Crysis.
