will halo5 utilize the impulse triggers anyone know? i hope so.

Elit3Nick3286d ago (Edited 3286d ago )

They confirmed that they will be in

@gamer7804

Here's a site that says that Frank O'Connor confirmed it, but the actual video is private http://halofollower.com/hal...

gamer78043286d ago

thats good to hear, do you have a link or anything i could read about where they said that? thanks!

gamer78043286d ago

Thx for your help. Can't wait for this game.

wakeNbake3286d ago

Umm duh. Im pretty sure the beta used it.

audiophile1013286d ago

Glad they are implementing that but my headphones already provide positional audio so I doubt it will change much

Halo2ODST23286d ago

This is like the most epic & interesting news yet. /s Why don't they tell us what they're doing with the gameplay instead, so far the game is lacking any new features, hear me out, halo 2 added dual wielding, highjacking & regenerating health, halo 3 added equipment,forge, theater, better physics, halo reach added armour abilities, superior gunplay, halo 4 reused sprint, no longer an armour ability; it's defualt now, custom classes,killstreaks,killcam, cod features etc,but from what i gathered from wen i played the beta, there was nothin new.

bcrazy183286d ago

How can you say there was nothing new? Did you even play the beta? If you did then you can say the armor abilities, ground pound, clambering, ADS like aiming system, no life revival while sprinting, no more load outs or ordinance drops, no more equipment. That's a pretty significant list for not changing anything.

Halo2ODST23286d ago

@Bcrazy18 Yea i played the bete, ads is purely a cosmetic change, even 343 have said so, it doesn't add anything to the gameplay. yea they adddd 2 new armour abilities but removed 7, where's jetpack, hologram, bubble shield, evade, armour lock, camoflage??? Having it so your shield doesn't regenerate while youre using unlimited sprint is innovative how? In reach if you used armour lock your shield doesn't regen either, what a new feature, ... from 2010. Here's a question, how is taking away armour abilities, equipment, loadouts/custom classes & ordanance adding to the game in any way ? - that's blatantly taking away from the game.

bcrazy183286d ago

All those features and equipment created a unbalanced playing field and catered more towards COD. I am well aware of ADS being a cosmetic change and not to gameplay itself, but thanks for clarifying that for me. It prevents players from running away when they're about to die as a scapegoat for being less talented to the other player. Players shouldn't be rewarded for running away when they're about to die. This and armor lock are not the same thing so please stop trying to compare.

christocolus3286d ago (Edited 3286d ago )

I got the feeling Halo 5 is gonna rock my world sooo bad :) E3 is roughly 70 days from today yet if feels like 365 days :(

ScorpiusX3286d ago

Sounds cool, can't wait to hear more about it . Please try to keep in house , but if you feel the need to share do it for a ridiculous amount .

lolosgolos3286d ago

From the guys who played the beta, can you recommend HALO 5 from the matches you tried cause it seems there is a lot of confidence in this title

lastking953286d ago

Yes it was awesome and the most balanced weapons in halo to date.

spicelicka3286d ago

It was brilliant, its the perfect balance between old and the mew.

StrayaKNT3286d ago

Best Halo multiplayer I have ever played and probably best multiplayer game ever made is what I thought after playing the beta. Everything halo was is just made perfect and so much fun.

Master Chief Became More Than A Machine In 343's Halo

In Halo 4, 5, and Infinite, Master Chief became a more nuanced, human character.

In spite of the Halo series’ struggles, 343 deserves praise for adding nuance and characterisation to the ever-beating heart of Halo - The Master Chief. Playing through Infinite, it's abundantly clear that the events of the current and previous trilogies have irrevocably changed the iconic hero. He’s no longer the ‘blank slate’ that was previously presented by Bungie. He’s a fatigued, damaged and fallible protagonist, and one who is meandering through currents of grief, while reveling in his newfound agency. Giving the Chief a compelling and meaningful voice was no small feat, and 343 should be proud of that victory.

This article completely misses part of the appeal of the original iteration of character in the original game trilogy. It was the Chief and Cortana vs an entire alien collective. The blank slate Bungie displayed in their games was genius, he was an mysterious hero a wide audience could identify with because he wasn't as clearly defined as most characters.

The books added a lot of lore and backstory but most Halo players just want a fun game with exposition that doesn't get in the way of gameplay, it's why the Cortana level in Halo 3 was derided.

Not every character has to be a damaged soyboy, a soldier has to suck it up and do his duty.

BandarHub399d ago

A lot of people give the 343 version of Master Chief a lot of slack.
But Fundamentally he is still the same character, he just has a couple more dialogues. He has not changed in terms of attitude.
"Not every character has to be a damaged soyboy, a soldier has to suck it up and do his duty."
And that's what he has done at the end of the day, he did his duty. Watch his partner die, and was ready to destroy the weapon in Halo infinite....he is still the same soilder that everyone remembers

Halo Infintes one was a nice balance between both.

slate91399d ago

Chief and the halo franchise became a joke under 343

Sciurus_vulgaris399d ago

The 343i Master Chief has is based on the books. However, in Halo 4-Infinite, the Master Chief overtime become. gradually becomes more willing to show some emotion.

Obscure_Observer398d ago

"However, in Halo 4-Infinite, the Master Chief overtime become. gradually becomes more willing to show some emotion."

Which is awesome! I love how Master Chief become more John and less soldier.

I didn’t even notice my typos,lol

I mean, the deal is alright… Unfortunately for me the Serious S doesn’t have a disk drive and unfortunately for Gamestop a lot of those games are on or have been on Gamepass/PSNow.

Sgt_Slaughter640d ago

Given the nature of backwards compatibility on new systems, this is a great sale in case you missed out on some gems from last gen.

Mandingo2020640d ago

Most of the games on Xbox are on game pass. The Switch games in this sale are trash c'mon farming simulator that's laughable. The PS4 games should be cheaper. I can't wait for the GameStop going out of business liquidation sale.

neutralgamer1992640d ago

Seriously man I don't get the hate on GS and I guess you want even less options and give more control to the publishers

And you want thousands of people to lose their jobs because you don't like a company. One thing I have noticed is how most who hate on GS haven't shopped at the actual stores in years. Many who hate on GS have also done so listening to others negative stories or experiences. People on YT want clicks and hating on GS is the cool thing

SurgicalMenace639d ago

It's not people's hate that would lose people's jobs, it's the shady business practices of the company. So what you're saying is that because people work there individuals should just support what they don't want to? Sound advice; Hitler too had supporters, employees, and advocates but people go around hating him too. They only hate because of other people's bad stories or experiences; they only spoke bad about him because they wanted attention. It's been decades; lets give his way another go. With your logic anything could be made to sound good.🤷🏾‍♂️

neutralgamer1992639d ago

SurgicalMenace

Seriously you used Hitler as an example to say company has shady practices

You don't have to shop at GS there are many other retailers. I shop there and vast majority of my experiences have been positive and most of the employees are super nice

SurgicalMenace639d ago

Just having some fun, bro.🤣🤣

Mandingo2020639d ago

There are other places to work besides GS. Plus, their benefits are trash so why not work somewhere else?

REDGUM640d ago

And none of those game you speak of you actually own as they are digital not physical & would cost more than $20 as the subscription costs more than that.

Mandingo2020639d ago (Edited 639d ago )

You know you can get game pass ultimate codes for the low on cdkeys or g2a right? You don't need to have a subscription 😂. GS is trash and I'd rather support the mom and pop game store here instead.

BlackTar187639d ago

Why are you people so full of hate? GameStop gives people jobs and provides a physical appearance to see things in the flesh and not just some soulless online experience.

Mandingo2020639d ago

You can get physical at mom and pop game stores plus you can get it online. GS is trash

neutralgamer1992639d ago

Because Mom and Pop shops cost two to three times more for the same product Angie the answer

BlackTar187639d ago (Edited 639d ago )

Mom and pop stores cost more and have even harder time competing against the internet. Also lie to me and tell you have a couple mom and pop stores near you selling games then lie and tell me you shop there.

IanTH640d ago

These sales, while potentially great, really struggle to be valuable given you can't easily parse what games are in stock. You can't just say "only show what is online & what are in my nearby stores". Probably 60-75% of these games in these massive lists are out of stock for shipping, and out of stock locally. It makes it a chore to find anything you'd want, much less 4 of them, much less enough if you wanted to get to a free shipping tier. It's a bummer.

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic710d ago

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.

AuraAbjure710d ago

Halo 4 best campaign and multiplayer. Halo 3 best story.

ChubbyBlade709d ago

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure708d ago (Edited 708d ago )

Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.
