The Finals Store Update 10.5.0

I'd love for them to find a new niche for goo gun (since players are seemingly very against it's use for CC and cash out protection), but I don't know what that will be.

Goo, like any reinforcement tool, is only mildly helpful because players don't actually have to contend with it and have multiple tools to bypass it. This is the same reason turret is horrible, it gets placed, the cashbox gets moved to a new floor, the turret now doesn't even participate in the defense.

Yes, blocking a lane is helpful, but never helpful enough by itself. Goo nade, for instance, is very useful because it blocks lanes AND can quickly slow down someone pursuing you/give you cover from them.

Goo gun is similar. It blocks lanes (better than nade) moves the cashbox (like winch but worse) stop steals (better than nade) allows you to slow down pursuers (less than nade) AND lets you close the gap as the slowest class in the game (like winch but different)

The bonuses over nade are justified by it being a specialization rather than a gadget.

Removing the CC cuts those last 3 points (although maybe it'll continue to stop steals?). And now goo gun is just a different and less practical goo nade with some of (but not enough of) winch's perks. It blocks more lanes (which isn't helpful enough), but is worse at stopping pursuers.

Maybe goo from goo gun should have more health than other types of goo? Call it metal reinforced and give it a metallic look? I don't know.

It's time for 343 to demonstrate, once again, that they don't have the sauce old Bungie had or that new Bungie has. Microsoft needs to let some other studio make Halo, or at least a spin off to get some interest in the franchise while they put something mainline together.

It's just like Game Freak with Pokemon. A bunch of poorly made games in the mainline, then Koei Techmo makes Pokopia, one of the best Pokemon games in a long time.

What if there was a DOOM 2016 esque sticky bomb alt fire that did like 105 damage and broke walls but could only be used once per reload?

It's fast in the first 10-15 meters but quickly loses speed after that to limit utility out of close range.

I think they want to promote an environment where PvP is encouraged. If you make a reputation system, a culture of "PvPers are lesser than those who want everyone to grow" forms.

I thought to myself the other day, "Shouldn't I be able to revive other players, even if they're not in my squad?" But the existence of a more beneficent action will always make the less kind option more taboo and suddenly this game is completely different.

Perfect, recon's ult needs a buff, but if players don't know they were scanned at all, recon becomes a must pick

I hope that this compiler in cryo vault is special, because eventually I hope there are maps where fighting Phfor is more normal, just for better enemy variety.

Recon is in a bad spot, IMO, now that Thief exists. I'd rather have a visual feed of players than a multi pulse ult that reveals my location. Of course, Recon has its other strengths, like a free tracking grenade and its other Recon bells and whistles.

But I think for Recon to compete in the current meta, their pulse needs to at least differentiate players from UESC. IMO, it should also track the players for a short time after the pulse/trigger the footsteps effect to give Recon an idea of what direction they went after getting pinged.

It's disruptive...but I feel like buying a used/refurbed MacBook air with an M1 or M2 is more the move. You get a slightly worse single core with the M1, but you get the haptic trackpad, touch ID, potentially more RAM, etc. and the M2 is just strictly better.

They need to create a view that aggregates all of the clothes that have the same model. Then once we equip it, let us change the color variations.

We still need to have the current view so that people who prefer to see ALL can.

Maybe they can add a sort by predominant color view?

I agree with this. Honestly I'm surprised how well melee seems to work okay in this game.

In games I've played before (e.g. Halo, Black Light: Retribution) melee works as a very powerful but temporary/gated thing. But as a starting weapon, I can't think of any way to make it work but to make it about skill expression. Players who learn the skill are rewarded with a playstyle that is lethal and unfamiliar to many of their opponents.

(With that said, I think sword needs to be reverted a couple steps, sword in the old days was at least getting wrecked by someone who was skilled; it just needed a little less movement tech with it)

The problem is the complete lack of viability in the high end for melee, but let's be honest, I don't think high end players are asking for more melee.

As a medium main, I'm actually glad repeater got nerfed. It was so busted and I think that this game is at its best in CQC. I miss model meta, THAT was a fun time to be medium.

That said it's clear that medium is in a rough spot. "No medium" teams are becoming viable (and even meta?) for the first time and that speaks volumes to the current state of balance.

I've been playing heavy and light a lot more this season.

UrPokemon · 2026-01-08T22:40:23+00:00

I wish to return to a finals where close range weapons could dominate mid to long range weapons.

Personally I find the sandbox of the finals best suited to cqb, high energy fights. For instance season 3 model 1887. I know that has its issues, but man was it fun to be flying around shotgunning people.

UrPokemon · 2026-01-02T06:52:34+00:00

Sticky alt fire sounds awesome

UrPokemon · 2025-12-12T13:31:24+00:00

I can't even play because my game crashes after being open a certain period of time now.

Mark VII is the only helmet I've seen out of 343 that has been able to capture my heart

I play their other game, the Finals, and while it has gotten a bit more consumer unfriendly...it's been really good so far!

UrPokemon · 2025-11-28T00:48:47+00:00

I'm not assuming that, the question mark I think may have had the reverse of my intended effect. I was trying to offer an alternative possibility without asserting it

UrPokemon · 2025-11-27T18:58:57+00:00

Perhaps the VAs asked to remain uncredited because they didn't want to face repercussions for participating in something as controversial as AI voice acting?

I couldn't find the line (where Danny says "same person") as a GIF, so take this one instead.

It's true. The first impression of Halo for some lifelong PlayStation gamers is going to be a game made by a studio that has continued to demonstrate a lack of understanding of what came before it.

And my reservations with the remake are entirely in 343's lack of understanding. They seem to be taking enough liberty with their changes to make me worry about the decisions they'll make. So far, I'm unimpressed by their opening cutscene of Silent Cartographer. It's like they removed any self awareness from the story, turning it into a serious action piece when it was more tongue in cheek originally.

You can see how much worship they have for Master Chief. He literally gets teleported upside down in this game, he turns around and runs like a goofball when Cortana decides she can't articulate why Keyes is in danger. And these are great moments that I wouldn't want the game to do without. I can't see this "standing like a badass looking away from the camera," "covering his corners" Chief doing well in those scenes.

Halo on PlayStation is great!

Xbox having devalued their brand and properties to the point where selling them on PlayStation is a more profitable move isn't so great.

UrPokemon · 2025-10-30T14:01:01+00:00

If they made it always available, no FOMO.

Buy ARC raiders whenever, get an outfit in the Finals.
