I didn't really encounter that in what I've seen for Halo 5, or any of the games to be honest. I mean, in 4 there was the Jet Boost thing, but that was an Armor Ability and I usually preferred Promethean Vision or the Sentinel Drone to help dominate choke points. And in 5 there is that downward smash, but that's more like an attack akin to the Titan's Arc Super. The video above is a full on demonstration of the combat in Halo 5. Its the most recent, up to date look at it that we have to date. Like I said, I mean it looks alright to me. I think they realized their problems with Halo 4 and decided to take the series back to its roots.
