The high five system would work!

Imagine griffball! You have the bomb, and want to congratulate your teammates for protecting you...high five!

This would be a great idea, but the d-pad would be a smarter choice, because, for example, you are trying to save your teammate in a closecombat situation, and you plan on meleeing the enemy to help, you accidently get to close to your teammate and high five instead. It would be great if the d-pads were given uses. For example givving ammo to your teammate. Or giving equipments to those who need it more. Or taking a lesson from the grunts, you are in some deep troubble, no ammo, and your opponent has a sword or shotgun, and all u have are ur plasma nades...........well then go on a suicide mission and charge at them... well just thinken out loud.............

If I never ever made another cent
I still really wouldn't be so worried
Gold dust at my feet

I'd prefer a hit the rock option.

Have you ever wanted to spice up this game with flare? Do you have too much team spirit but don't know how to let it out? Hi there. I have come with an idea so revolutionary, it may change the Halo experience forever.

I have come up with a solution to forever change the gameplay in Halo 3. It is called Press B to highfive. How does this work you say? Well, whenever you pass a teammate in the game, an option will appear (Just like to get into a vehicle) to press B to highfive. Please note that this may differ with controller setups, however I am sticking to the default settings for now. The beauty of this option is that your teammate, has the option to "deny" your request for a highfive, by just passing you. This lets you know the trust rating of that teammate, and how likely you will be betrayed for him in the rocket launcher. Also note that this option would work in vehicles as well.

Allow me to offer some examples. Say you are doing the annual run, and whilst in the air jumping toward the Dawn, you and your teammate highfive each other in the ghosts. All right! Or, you just saw your teammate rack a sweet overkill with his shotgun. Yea! But what if your teammate betrayed you for the sniper and then tried to high five you later? Denied! The versatility of this option is endless.

P.S. If I wake up and find this option implemented, I will send every person at Bungie 20 dollars. Yea, I know thats a lot of money, but its worth it!

Note: Please take notice that the P.S. in this post may or may not apply.

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher regard those who think alike than those who think differently.

I don't like the "high five" idea.

I can just imagine trying to deploy a Bubble Shield while standing too close to a teammate and "high fiving" him instead. I guess that would look great on someone else's "Fail" montage but it wouldn't benefit me too much.

Mostly, I just don't think it adds anything of value to the game. There are plenty of animations in the game that you and your friends can use for any purpose you like. My friends and I have a dance we perform with the crouch button that serves the same purpose as your high five. I don't see any need for Bungie to code something specific into the game when "the happy friend dance" works just fine for us.

that would cut down on some betrayals. like i was going for MVP in a flag with this one guy, and of course about a foot from the flag when i was one shot he beats me down, picks up the flag and gets the cap. no big deal but really, was it necessary? =p anyways, a highfive instead of a betrayal would have been nice. =p

A switch weapon with your teammate highfive would be better

So your teammate would have to stop and either accept or deny you? That would create a world of problems.

"Shut up Frenchies", "Speak American or I'm gonna kick your ass" lololoolololool

Wooooooooo! High-fives for everyone!!!!

  • 04.16.2009 10:57 AM PDT

Jump...You might fly

Elites only have 4 fingers, well what looks like 2 fingers and 2 thumbs.
They Can't High Five, Noooo

It sounds great when you say it like that, but it truly would not work.

  • 04.16.2009 10:59 AM PDT

I really want this, but I think there would be lots of confusion when someone tries to grab a weapon or a vehicle. They both end up high-fiving and the guy behind them gets the weapon/vehicle. Also you may be ducking for cover when someone comes over and forces a high five, leaving you to die :[
It would have to be something like double-tap [button] and would require a response from the other guy.

Guns don't kill people, level 100 wizards do.

Think of all the other crap Bungie needs to fix (BR, reload glitch, melee times, mixed level matchmaking, edited balanced maps, 3 other mythic maps ect...). Bungie needs to start to make all of the NECESSARY adjustments before they do anything else.

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.

Haha pretty good, but make it a different button then the melee button. Make it one of the D-pad buttons. for example the one on the right.

In spirit, I like the idea. The option however, as you've described it, would cause problems since it would require at least two players to animate in conjunction with each. Meaning, your focus would be shifting all over the place as those, nearby, were incessantly requesting a high five... Most folks already dislike their cursor being shifted around via aim-assist. What you're suggesting, if I understand your correctly, would further add to this mess.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I believe all I heard was "blah, blah, blah bungie blah, blah, blah, blah...". Amazing you can't even stop once and maybe have fun with an idea rather than complaining about something.

I like the OP's fantastic idea and I support it! High-five!

Thanks to all the supporters! High fives for you all!

Also, imagine if you just got your perfection at the end of the game! High five! I know some of you suggest that it may be better to move it to the d-pad. Well, that sounds good and all, but where is the risk? Plus, it is arkward to move ones hand from the buttons to the d-pad. I think B is still the best.
