<div style="text-align: justify;">
HALO 5 players have been treated to a surprise update from 343 Industries.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The changes are related to Halo’s Controller Menu and could affect how gamers play the Xbox One exclusive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
343 have confirmed that the update was included with the Cartographer’s Gift and will allow players to customise the following three areas:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- <strong>Look Acceleration</strong>: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Look Acceleration adjusts the time it takes to hit max look speed when you peg (apply 100% input in any direction) the look stick.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The higher the setting, the quicker you will reach top speed, and the lower the setting, the long it takes to reach top speed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Currently, this value defaults to 3. For Halo 5’s launch, we made the Look Acceleration a tad faster that it has been in past games and the Halo 5 Multiplayer Beta.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“This was done in part to help you make large corrections a bit faster (for example, if someone is attacking you from behind it allows you to more quickly do a 180). If you would like the Look Acceleration to match the Multiplayer Beta, use a setting of 2 here.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- <strong>Inner Dead Zone</strong>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The Inner Dead Zone refers to a small region around the analog stick’s centre position where we disregard input. Inner Dead Zone is used to prevent drift (camera movement when you aren’t applying any input to the look stick).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“This is caused because the analog sticks do not always return perfectly to the centre for a variety of reasons (manufacturing tolerances, wear and tear on the controller etc). Note that the default we use her aligns with the platform recommended value and is what past Halo games have also used.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Recommended tuning process: Try turning the Inner Dead Zone down to 0% and test if you run into cases where after releasing the look stick, the camera continues drifting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“If you do get drift, increase the inner dead zone setting a bit and try again. Ideally, you want as small of a deadline as possible so that you’re maximising as much of the analog stick as possible.”</div>

</tbody></table>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- <strong>Outer Dead Zone</strong>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The Outer Dead Zone allows you to adjust the point at which the analog stick registers as hitting 100% input. Outer Dead Zone is used to prevent slow turn (when you are applying 100% input on the look stick but not reaching top look speed). The larger the Outer Dead Zone, the sooner you will hit 100%.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Recommended tuning process: Try turning the Outer Dead Zone down to 0% and test if you run into cases where you can’t hit the ‘pegged state’ and encounter slow turn.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“If you do get slow turn, increase it a bit more and try again. Note that the majority of cases we found where people were encountering slow turn were somewhat hard to discover as the problem tended to be inconsistent and were offering happening only when clenching, torqueing, or rotating the analog stick around the edges a tad. So you might need to experiment with this one a tad more before settling on the proper setting.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
343 also had a final word of advice for those worried by potential changes to their gaming experience, saying: “Finally - note that the default values on these parameters are all identical to what we (and you) have been using previously.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Therefore, you don’t need to worry about this update changing anything. If you don’t touch them, the game will play identically to how it has.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“But for those of you that want the ability to more intimately adjust your aiming experience, these parameters should provide more fine-tuned control that will help better adjust the game to your specific controller hardware and personal preferences.”</div>

Announcing last week their plans for the December update for Guardians, 343 <a href="http://www.twitch.tv/halo" target="_blank">hosted a live stream</a> that explored some of the new additions, including fresh REQs and maps, set to arrive this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Appearing on the official Halo Channel on Twitch and YouTube Gaming, fans can also look forward to getting some of their questions answered about the next free update coming to Halo 5: Guardians, <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/halo-5-343-announce-news-youve-all-been.html" target="_blank">Cartographer's Gift</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Designers and developers will be on stream for the Q&A, with 343 also promising some more Forge in action and new looks at the maps heading for Arena and Warzone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Forge has been rebuilt from the ground up for Halo 5: Guardians," a message from 343 reveals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Giving more power and control to the Forge community was the primary goal, and community feedback will continue to fuel the evolution of Forge as we update the mode with new features and content."</div>

<strong>Battle of Noctus - Halo 5 Warzone map</strong>: "Battle of Noctus takes place on Andesia and features two garage bases, a first for Warzone! Using vehicles early is a key tactic for locking down base control.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Since you can’t spawn ground vehicles at the Monument, it might appear to be less important than either garage, but capturing this base provides quick access to plenty of boss locations and sightlines into both garages. Smart teams will definitely want to hold this position.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"If you find yourself facing a team stacked with vehicles be sure to use the many man cannons littered around the map to cut down on travel time."</div>

<strong>Overgrowth - Halo 5 Arena map</strong>: "Overgrowth is a small-scale asymmetrical map that plays best on Slayer and Strongholds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"For Slayer, controlling the Energy Sword is key as the map features tight corridors and small combat spaces for you to slice up your opponents.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"For Strongholds, the covered bridge offers many tactical options, as it allows players to engage on any of the three stronghold locations quickly, and is the location where the Plasma Caster can be found."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Halo 5 fans will also get new Social playlists for Halo 5’s Arena included in the The Cartographer’s Gift update, while Big Team Battle moves to a Social 8v8 playlist, with an all-new social playlist with the December content also promised.</div>
