Halo 5: Guardians Discussion | New ViDoc
- Ground pound is moved to melee button from crouch
- AoE for it is highly scaled back
- Sprint speed decreased noticeably
- Base movement and strafe acceleration increased noticeably
- Flag juggling is in, pressing the weapon change button drops the flag despite flagnum
- Flag is NOT auto pickup
- Flag indicator only when the flag is dropped
- Hydra has been buffed when firing unscoped
- AR has been nerfed noticeably
- DMR scope is now similar to classic zoom
- Storm Rifle rips shields apart but overheats quickly
- SAW replaces Sniper (the one outside) on new build of Empire
- Scoping with smart link is nearly instant now, so basically only cosmetic in comparison to classic zoom
There's probably other shit that I've glossed over, but those are the main things on the MP side.
I see the SAW more as a super power weapon than a classic power weapon. Same for the beam and the fuel rod in H4.
For example, sniper and rockets both have their downsides that make them very hard to use in certain circumstances. The SAW doesn't have any downside. You just press the trigger and shoot high damage bullets without any important recoil or spread. And this makes the SAW almost impossible to counter without another power weapon.
There is a limit between a power weapon and an overpowered weapon and I think the SAW just breaks this line.
