    5 Seconds would be an improvement. I have a better idea though.
    Remove the Armor Abilities. I know it sounds like a wild and crazy idea, but I just have this gut feeling that Halo would play better and be more fun without them.

    I don't know, watching @Blaze do a plasma pistol emp jump into a ground pound looked pretty fun!

    Yeah 5 seconds sounds good. 8 seconds leaves way too much time for the killer to set up.

    Hmmm...go get 16 years of empirical evidence that complicating and changing the core of the franchise for the sake of trends is a bad thing. But it has to be super convincing. Like, you need at least 9 years and 3 titles from a franchise that showed no sign of decline until the following games over 7 years that changed the formula turned the popularity into a nose dive.

    They don't care
    Because we keep buying
    It'll take a cataclysmic failure on the part of Halo 6/Forza7/whatever else they think will sell
    Same with Hollywood

    And halo 5 was already a cataclysmic failure, but you don't really see them trying too hard to change things
    We must create the change

    speaking of the 5 sec rule. How long do you guys think the Flare I posted a video preview for a few posts pack, should last? Watching a Halo 3 vid and counting, it seems like it only lasts 4 sec, but that seems way too short to me to be useful.

    I am not necessarily worried about making it exactly like H3, but want it similar AND useful in H5.

    Thanks,

    Absolutely not. Others and myself have already designed maps with armor abilities in mind.

    I like 5 seconds

    Why is 8 the default anyway?
    --- Double Post Merged, Sep 18, 2017 ---
    hmmm

    it gets blocked by your own HUD elements, so all you have to do is put your arm in the way and you can see past it
    maybe add a smoke or hanging fog effect as well, or multiple 'flare' fx?

    I've got it actually, make a cluster item out of these:

    white 100emissive 2x2x2
    cluster of 5 'flare' fx or light cones, or whater the thing is you have already
    and an invisible point light, 5 falloff, 100brightness, white

    Correct - that the gun seems to block it. But consider how detrimental it would be to have to point your gun exactly right to avoid it during a gunfight ;)

    Also, I read (and remember) that players within close range of it get blinded completely. I will be experimenting with adding a range around the flare that changes filters/screen fx for those within that zone, for a few seconds. If there isn't a combo that is completely blinding, then I will use the best thing available.

    Fuuuuck! Guess we're stuck with this **** then, because there's no way I could provide that kind of evidence. :mad:
    I know. I wasn't being serious. Well...I seriously think the game would be better off without them, but I recognize that it would be a terrible decision to remove them at this point, for this contest.

    Wasn't objective in other halos 10 seconds and halo 5 objective is 8?

    And slayer was 5 seconds in other halos but h5 is 8

    Correct or no? I honestly can't remember

    Halo 5 is stupid
    8 second respawn in slayer and 10 in objective or something
    Obviously because of scaling to give the player traveling at potentially max speed the most amount of room to get away

    Imagine if we at forgehub at game release collectively agreed to only use a community made game mode(maybe only increased walk speed and thrust) and then shunned anyone in the forge community that used the default settings, and then all forge content ended up only supporting our classic styled game mode. 343 woulda been pissed. Haha man that would have been great... would have. *sigh*


    Like... a massive **** you.

    Sort of managed this in Halo 3. MLG settings were used by anyone actually serious about making a competitive map. Of course they only had to tweak movement speed and kill times, not remove any bullshit settings, but it certainly can be done.

    Player traits vs game traits
    Halo 5 broke the game traits, halo 3 fudged the player traits
