Figured Id post this here as well. Its s great look st individual empowerment and touches on why H5 feels sweaty, and how people falsely attribute the issue to competitive focus.
Also, does Gaf have a way to jump to the first unread comment in a thread? Its something I love about TB and Resetera, but cant figure out here...

Thats what I thought, but it always seems to take me to the last page, regardless if Ive read that far.
It's on top of the page:
Saw this on Reddit, but I didn't take a look until now, I'm going to read it now (and answer here or on Rest, I don't know yet).

Yah I see that on PC, but on mobile that button doesnt exist, and the arrow always takes me to the last page.
Edit: just did a double check and it doesn't work on either of my mobile phones.
That, coupled with the fact that I can't jump to the last read on mobile has caused me to miss debates.
And y'all know I love my debates.

I'm looking forward to the return of The Great Sprint Debate once Halo 6 is revealed.
Definately more sad than anything
I hope I'm defending 343 next time. Either way, I'll be there!
What's crazy is adding spartan charge and making sprint unlimited made it be used far more than it ever was in Reach or Halo 4. The no shield recharge while sprinting delay is not as risk vs reward as an almost 5 foot melee range, one hit kill from the back or unlimited sprint to across the map where you can hide and let it recharge. Another of those work on paper/theory mechanics but not in game just like global ordnance. Remember how many defended it saying it would add variation and allow full map usage blah blah if power weapons dropped over the map randomly.

Random ordnance drops were a mistake, but I liked the animation in which weapons would drop in from the sky.

HaloGAF still exists? My god, it's full of stars...
I wish Warzone had ordinance drops instead of requiring trips to a req station.
Capture bases to establish control over sections of the map. This enables your team to drop ordinance within those sections.
Players would have to consider whether it's worth it to give away their position in exchange for the weapon. Or they could intentionally use the drop to draw enemy attention into a trap.
Req stations and loadouts would still be available as safer options, but i think ordinance drops would benefit the action.

As much as it would make me happy to see sprint gone, I give Halo 6 a 0.01% chance that sprint is removed. Aim needs to be improved upon and there needs to be more and better maps, especially in BTB. Lastly, 1-side objective games need to return in a huge way. I think those are probably the biggest needs for Halo 6, at least in matchmaking. Campaign is a different story - obviously split screen.
Secondary improvements are more debatable. I'd love sprint to be gone and for there to be less abilities in Halo 6. I think you should be able to use a controller without paddles and have zero disadvantage, competitively. But most people agree that Halo 5 is still pretty fun regardless.
Hopefully 343 is smart about what they do to improve Halo 5 with Halo 6. By the way, is Stinkles gone? I just assume most devs have gone, but didn't know for sure.

I saw that. I might have to actually turn on halo 5 again just to see how it feels. I love that people didnt like the assault rifle being nerfed. Gotta have that crutch weapon lol. Aww man my pray and spray weapon isn't getting me cheap easy kills anymore. Fix it! ;D
People are just silly, the gun still wrecks, you just have to put an effort to be good with it. I'll never understand why people wouldn't want a gun to have skill gap in pvp. Getting killed by something that I know has no counter is frustrating.

If anyone ever doubted the absolute BEASTliness of the Storm Rifle, not only does it have the fastest kill time, it is the only weapon which doesn't require head shots to achieve the perfect kill time.

Isn't this the definition of Dominion from Halo 4?
Btw, I will never understood why we lost gametypes like Invasion and Dominion when transitioning to new games.
I've got to be honest, I never gave Storm Rifle a chance as I don't like to use it, but seeing this chart, I will now rush for this weapon when it's available on the map!
Btw, downloading Halo 5 once again to see how the final tuning ended up being. I can't really feel the change just by reading the bulletin on Waypoint, but if I like this as much as liked the tuning test, then maybe, Halo 5 will stay on my Xbox One.
PS: I definitely prefer the design of NeoGAF, can't say the same for Reset.
Warzone is essentially the evolution of Dominion, as far as I can tell. So this would further evolve the idea.
Each base would represent control of 1/3 of the map. So long as you were within your own territory, you could air drop your req items to your position. This way you don't have to go find a req station.
In dominion, you are limited to the ordinance dictated by the map, and it drops at the base on set intervals.

Dominion had base fortifications; it made the mode special and unlike anything we've played in Halo before. It's too bad it didn't stick around.
Uhh excuse me, Mr. Sentinel Beam would like to have a word with you.

I've given up hoping sprint will be removed. Spartan Charge needs to die though. I don't mind anything that increases movement but SC is cheap and it pisses me off winning a 1v1 when some cheeky fuck Spartan Charges me from behind.

And it's pretty mild compared to rampant messaging back in the day. Especially H3 with forge porn and the like lol.
I don't get messages like that from any other game... It didn't bother me, it just sucks that that's what a huge amount of the Halo players are like.
Even when they win they're twats.

It didn't. It's lying dormant beneath the soil. It will emerge with Halo 6 and take over the planet with the fury of a trillion cicadas.
