[QUOTE=AbbaDee;51469268]Well, there were some awesome concepts done for clothing over armor. Fred even got a poncho.

Lore-wise they make no sense, but it's a cool idea that could work. I hope 343 gives it a try somewhere in Halo 6 just as a test if nothing else.[/QUOTE]
Having a cloak over your armour doesn't make sense in real life but it looks rad as fuck
Only lore explanation I could think of is something like helping them blend in on non-visible light or thermal spectrums, since maybe the alloys the armour is made out of sticks out.

Conserve energy so the energy shield isn't always pushing away sand?
I always loved the idea of cloaks and such over armor, I was afraid to say so because I thought the crowd here would say it's a retarded idea.
It appears as though we agree the idea is stupid but it looks awesome.
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;51469386]Converse energy so the energy shield isn't always pushing away sand?[/QUOTE]
Nah, the shields are only affected by something like a bullet, sand would cost virtually no energy if any at all. I doubt the clothing would help anyway, shields extend further out than they would.

In one of the first books they actually explain that the shield affect everything. Spartans would be slipping and shit because they would have no grip on the ground since the shield kept their boots from connecting with it.

No, I meant sand touching the shield isn't going to cause any meaningul drain on them like a bullet would (unless it's something like a sandstorm maybe?). IIRC shields are disabled around the index finger when a Spartan uses a gun because otherwise the shield prevents their finger from fitting around the trigger.
i have a question
if that's the case why can't i 1-shot enemies in the bottom of their foot
wtf 343
a cloak can make some sense though
Spartan armors ten to have hard ridges and very unnatural shapes and a cloak covering that can break up the shape and make it blend a little bit more. it'd be decently effective camouflage, maybe not up close, but at distance it'd really help i think.

Hopefully this is the Update that fixes the mess that the PC version is and introduces server browser.

I now imagine Spartans utilizing their shields to drift around the ground off of momentum as they zoom about a corner to snipe a Covvie in the head.
Ooh, a gamemode that had tribes ascend like movement would be pretty fun :P

hype?[/QUOTE]
That could be one of 4 things:
1. Icon for KOTH, i.e 'King' Chess-piece.
2. Icon for Gun Game, where you start at 'pawn' weapons and move up to 'king' weapons.
3. Icon for a custom game mode editor, where you can create your own gamemode. The chess piece references Bungie's Halo Reach Chess Gametype.
4. Icon for the custom games browser. This is the most likely, especially considering the image's description.
We will find out tomorrow what it is...

I'm pretty sure this is just chess. :v:
or it could be a reference to the Insane gametypes in Halo: Reach where the announcer would say 'Action Sack' and you had the most customizability of all the gametypes
[editline]a[/editline]
since chess in reach was in the Insane category of gametypes
Yeah, probably Action Sack. Been a lot of complaining about Halo 5's gamemode customization and with two months to work on this update (probably to avoid Battlefield, Titanfall 2, etc) I wouldn't be surprised especially with the hyping 343 has been doing.

Remember when Bungie jokingly announced an actual Chess gamemode for Reach? Wasn't it like an April Fools joke or something?
yeah i think before the beta was released
[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;51484641]Remember when Bungie jokingly announced an actual Chess gamemode for Reach? Wasn't it like an April Fools joke or something?[/QUOTE]
Didn't they actually release it at some point, too?

Yes

Wait, weren't Race, KotH and Gun Game confirmed/basically confirmed via GameCheat?
Hell yes, Custom Games browser on PC on Thursday. That is way sooner than I expected.

[B]REACH HELMETS ARE BACK SOON[/B]
And a not-shit Mark V variant too. Damn I'm going to love next year.
So do you think 343 have realised people prefer the Bungie artstyle and maybe try to go back to it, beyond armour pieces for five, perhaps for halo 6?
I wish I had more time to play games :C
We still have no idea what that Forge Minigames thing is, but it looks likes it will include Race and Golf somehow. We are finding out tomorrow.
Also, we are getting a spectator mode, plus the Grenade Launcher/Sentinel Beam/Anti-Air Wraith is back.
But I'm mostly happy that [B][U]OPERATOR IS BACK[/U][/B]
