Would You Eliminate a Spartan Ability From Halo 5?

Personally, I would take out Smart Scope/ADS. To me, it just doesn’t seem to be something that Halo should have.

Didn’t find slide useful but that might just be me, and I liked the NEW Smart-Link/Scope design choice, it doesn’t give or take away anything, still as accurate while hipfiring as when you scope. calm your -Yoink- ppl

Well, none really. Charge is the only one that annoys me occasionally, but it’s something I’ll adjust to.

Removal of mechanics in my order:

  1. ADS
  2. Thruster
  3. Sprint
  4. Clamber
  5. Ground Pound
  6. Slide
  7. Charge.

Suprisingly the votes thus far are pretty split, I was expecting more votes to remove sprint.

I personally have no grudge with sprint, while I agree it’s not the Halo we all fell inlove with so many years ago we have relise and accept that times are changing and technology is allowing developers to experiment alo more then they could a decade ago. What 343 did with sprint in the beta is brilliant, when you sprint your shilds won’t recharge. THANK YOU!

None of them. I think they all work fine.

I don’t think one of them should definetly be removed.
But if I had to make a choice it would be Slide. Not because it’s annoying or anything but it just doesn’t come in very useful to me. Never even used it in the beta.

I don’t want any removed, but I would feel no problems if they removed charge and/or thruster.

Yeah, I picked Slide just because it’s useless. It’s a completely superfluous ability that I can’t even imagine a productive use for. I suppose shotgun sliding might be a thing, but if Destiny showed anything, it showed that shotgun sliding is an unacceptable mechanic for PvP.

Why is charge being voted for? It exists because of sprint.

Removal of mechanics in my order:

  1. ADS (ADS is the only one I would remove, I just made a partially-random decision on the others.)
  2. Charge
  3. Slide
  4. Ground Pound
  5. Thruster
  6. Clamber
  7. Sprint

Slide. I like the rest off them, slide just seems redundant.

Smart Scope/ADS I hate it!

Everything else I can live with but I do think ground pound is kind of dumb and will be overpowered.

My question is, why do we HAVE to even take something out? Why not just leave it in? Can’t that be an option? I guess not since everyone here seems to be a bunch of little -Yoinks!-.

Stabilizers! Be rid of those and I’m good.

Woah, no need to rustle those jimmies. OP just wants to know what the least popular Spartan Ability is. No ulterior motives.

No poll options to get rid of Stabilizer or to keep all the existing SAs? Okay…

If I had to choose one, it would have to be charge. This ability is forced upon a sprinting player who wants to melee/assassinate their opponent. The ability itself is pretty unreliable - it sometimes knocks the opponent back and pops his shields instead of killing him (even if it was seemingly a direct hit). This ability directly impacts the use of melees in combat, as you would have to halt all your momentum just to avoid its forced animation. It’s already hard enough to melee an opponent due to the defensive options they have available, such as thruster. Spartan charge just makes the use of melees even more scarce.

Personally I’d eliminate anything that requires more than one button to use. As soon as the control scheme gets complicated with button combos this stops being Halo and starts being Street Fighter.
