Since Spartan abilities have taken a back seat this time around, a bas movement set has been chosen as a more favorable abd natural movement pattern. But why not add in a deft movement mechanic such as a side step, it could function similar to the “evade” from Reach, albeit with less distance covered.
i love this idea like a power dash thats quick and can go in any direction. been wanting this for a long time basically thruster on our feet
I feel like the movement is in a really good place to appease newer and older fans. I love Halo’s simplicity so I’m okay with seeing thrusters go.
They came with many complications that changed certain parts of gameplay. Don’t get me wrong they work well on Halo 5, and they are fun but I think Halo Infinite is going in the right direction with it to appease more fans and newer players.
No we don’t need anything like that
I believe thrust is still in the game it’s just a power pick up now instead of it being a permanent ability
I’m pretty sure the settings confirm thrusters are a pickup in infinite.

thats fine if u feel that way. but im talking like a small burst something that u can use to quick peak and get right back into cover and can only be used on the ground with a decent cooldown maybe like 5 to 10sec. something u cant use every gun fight

The game has thrusters as a pickup so this is a pointless thread.

Im thinking more along the lines of like a juke movement, where its an omni directional step
I want halo5 thrusters and sprint

I keep seeing people saying this, yet throughout my entire playtime in the flight I have yet to be able to use this or see any evidence of thrusters. Do provide visible evidence, please and thank you.

It’s going to be a pick up it’s not in this flight clearly it will be in the game. Its literally a keybind in the settings right under grapple shot
I have seen a lot of people say that they miss/want thrusters and I can get behind it as well. Maybe we can test it in an upcoming flight or something and if it doesn’t work well with this game we can leave it behind. I like my thrusters but at the end of the day it is a different game.
Thrust should never be a base ability in Halo ever again.

Not trying to argue, buy why not? I legitimately want to know reasons why it shouldnt be.

Thrusters are a cool idea on paper for movement, but in reality the addition of a thruster as a built in movement option only leads to it being used to artificially extend gun fights. Halo 5 showcased this very well and is a main reason classic halo fans often loathed the games movement. In classic Halo and Halo Infinite you are punished for poor positioning, as you can’t normally just leave the area and get out of a fight. Halo 5 was very forgiving since in a lot of cases you could if you were skilled with the movement just evade the fight all together, let your shields recharge and reposition, no punishment for bad positioning. At Low Skill Levels this is fine, but at High Skill Levels it artificially drags out the gameplay. hope this helps you understand the design philosophy behind 343 removing thrusting as a base ability and opting to make it an equipment instead.

If you want old things go and play halo 5. Ironic

It’s not pointless as we don’t know how they function as yet , if they are single or multiple or timed use , if it’s a third person thrust or even how far the thrust moves us . Speculating isa healthy thing until we know otherwise . In fact the possibilities are enticing when you think of custom games . I can see myself making a h5 mythic gametype if the options infinite provide allow this .
I dont even want thrusters back, they were get out of jail free cards and costed me countless kills in Halo5. Picking your fights wisely has always been a thing in Halo, even with things like the bubble shield in H3. I still didnt feel as robbed as I do in Halo 5 when someone just thrusts behind a wall or into another all while loosing an engagement.
Some say that thrusters add skill to Halo but I argue that thrusters just disrupt the flow of Halo and 343i should really consider less features from H5. People are enjoying Halo Infinite’s almost perfected Movement Mechanics and the the return to Sandbox. Resources should go to perfecting the arena style vs adding H5’s none sense .
(Side note: If you like H5 that’s fine, its just to me and many other Halo fans, it doesn’t play like Halo. Not that the abilities and gameplay dont flow together. H5 is a fun and well made game, its just a poor Halo Game)
