I like the look and sound of both tbh. Infinites does sound really cool but I don't really understand the idea behind giving it recoil and classing it as an smg. I felt the damage of the 5 one was fine as is, so I don't feel like 343 would've thought it needed a buff but who knows.

I much prefer the infinite version of the sentinel beam, but i would love to know what they’d do with the other forerunner weapons, specifically the promethean weapons since the artstyle is soooo drastically different than what the classic artstyle is, i wonder if they’d just embrace “this is just what promethean stuff looks like” or if they’d redesign it to fit the classic forerunner artstyle

[@TheKaffeekatze]

In the TTK test, Infinite's SB's recoil made the beam drift towards the head of the spartan. Are you sure this doesn't affect the damage and thus the TTK?

It does 😁. I purposefully did it to get the optimal Sentinel TTK of 0.90 seconds. Body TTK is a tiny bit slower at 0.95 seconds, I have the data in my Forerunner Weapons video.

it disintegrates them

[@nicetry69420]

If I remember correctly, in the multiplayer beta thing (or possibly in the early release days) it disintegrated the vehicle and left the player. It however is a pretty damn fast and easy way to crush vehicles so the tradeoff was no kill at the cost of an easy vehicle takedown with a "cheaper" weapon to get the job done. Haven't played in a minute tho so it could have changed or I could be remembering wrong haha

[@iKiwed]

There something of cool in both of them. I like the Infinite Design, while H5 has interesting design choices which stands out more. The recoil in Infinite isn't super great, and I don't like that it works with ammo capacity instead of cooldown. Also, I miss the explosion at the very start - incredibly dramatic. But it's a super powerful weapon which I hope to see becoming even more powerful in the future.

H5 sentinal beam...completely forgot about that dogshit

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

As a forger, I feel that Halo 5 forge handled weapon combinations with the sentinel beam better then the Infinite forge currently does, sentinel beam ones included. Granted the Infinite forge is WAY more potent and complicated then H5’s, and it literally just released, so there’s _a lot_ of room to grow… BUT 343 will need to supercharge the pace of developing game updates going forward to make the most of it. Go on halo 5 and fuse the S beam with the twin jewels of maethrillian, then go on infinite and see if you can make a sentinel beam combination half as smooth.

[@SmoothTurtle840]

Wait they added the weapon pad glitch into Infinite? Yo that’s sick. But yeah, of course it’s gonna be more tame, since Infinite doesn’t have OP REQ variations of weapons.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

@@SmoothTurtle840 Well Halo Infinite was said to be a ten year investment, and the game isn’t even a year old yet (depending on whether you call the November 15th beta or the December 8th public release the first anniversary), so assuming they literally meant they’d be updating the exact same game for next 9 years I’m imagining the sandbox and options at our disposal have A LOT of room to grow. Meanwhile after I wrote this I discovered more combinations that pretty good in their own right. But I DO notice that there are some under the hood adjustments to how it all works which would become apparent if you make similar/matching weapon combinations from one game to the other. Fire rate, ammo capacity (doubly so since Infinite weapons don’t have batteries anymore.), zooming, alternate firing modes on weapons that have them…. But it’s likely something only really noticeable if you put in as much time and effort into Halo 5’s forge like I have over the years. Also to clarify, the “glitch” is now baked into the scripting itself. While that DOES make it a extreme deal more complicated (unless you keep it as barebones as possible, like making players just spawn with the weapons without additional input), that also MASSIVELY amplifies what you can do with them. _OH,_ and a fun fact, if you know how to set it up, _The bots can be made to use them through scripts._
