A few more screenshots of 343’s upcoming Halo 5 have surfaced on the web and they look rather neat, even if they are a little unpolished due to image compression.
We also have some new information from someone who’s played a recent build of the game and has decided to share what info they have. Check out the information down below with the images to follow.
- Incineration Cannon is back and has changed compared to Halo 4. Players can charge up a shot and the longer you charge, the more powerful it is. Battery based rather than ammo based.
- Railgun is back from Halo 4 and works almost identically – could hold up to 11 shots
- Overshield was present had some weird screen effect when you picked it up – looked like a bug
- Boltshot is back but doesn’t work like halo 4 – no shotgun fire mode. fires two shots at once and sort of tracks players
- Suppressor is back and fires a lot slower
- Blue outline on weapons was in the build
- Killcams were disabled in the build, could spectate players while you were dead
- BR spread was near-gone – fired so fast
- Spartan chatter was reduced hugely, less pointless callouts
- Spartan bro moments cut down, game ending segment is just your spartans walking towards the screen, no more highfives and shit
- Killfeed modified to be like this: “PLAYER NAME” “WEAPON KILLED WITH” “PLAYER NAME”
- Pistol RoF is modified to be slower but is a lot more powerful – competes with AR and BR
- Ground pound is harder to use, radius is tiny
- Overshield was bugged, my shields said i constantly had it even after death
