I'll pass

its halo 4 and cod put together, even the players act like they do in h4, im tired of all the charging in and meleeing

DAHBLE KHILL!
TREPAL KHILL!
OHVER KHILL!
KHILLING SSPPPHREE

im sorry that exaggeration is ridiculous

This, sux.

Just played my first game. First impression, a huge improvement over Halo 4s multiplayer. Game feels balance, weapon pickups are important again, no killstreaks, and the score for slayer is kills not points. Smartscope seems kinda dumb.

The more I play the more I dislike it. The frag grenades are like these insane explosive tennis balls, plasma grenades are near worthless.

I don't know if damage for guns needs to be nerfed, as smart scope provides a an accuracy boost and therefore damage boost each time it's use. I think there needs to be a better solution to nerfng sprint, perhaps just a longer time until your shields reload.

I love it when you finish a round and you and all your teammates bro out. I hope in the full game one of them cracks open and chugs a cool, fresh, energising can of Dew.

Everyone called Halo 4's ordnance drops "killstreaks" since kills weren't the only way to get them and the points you earned towards ordnance drops carried over after death.

You know what.
I am totally ok with that.

..
Now I want to see it happen.

PLEASE DRINK A VERIFICATION CAN TO CONTINUE

I expected to hate it, but I have to say it's really fun. The weapons feel really nice to fire, and the abilities seem to complement the flow of the gameplay pretty well. (Except ground-pound; I haven't used it once.)

The ranking system seems to pair me up with unfair matches: one time I got three perfections in a row because the players on the other team were pretty new, and other times I get paired up with three newbies and on the other team three Onyx levels and that other gold rank (not semi-pro, the one before Onyx)

I think there is too much bloom.

LOOK LIGHTING

BLOOM

BLOOOOOOOM

PROPHET BANE ISNT ENEGERY SWORD
ITS BLOOM MACHINE

crotas bane has bloom, wtf?

I still don't understand what the number under KDA Spread means (in service record). I thought the number would be kills/death = number. Ala, a ratio. Or maybe how many more kills than deaths you have (or vise versa). But its just a random number.

Give me an example, I love algebra. :)

It's the year 2015, people still play Halo?
Wait, Halo is still being made?

I really like the Hydra. It reminds me of the Halo Reach Plasma Launcher, and the reloading scheme is quite interesting for a rocket-based weapon.
The new Light Rifle is purdy, but the firing sound seems more adapt for a Covenant Weapon rather than a Promethean one. Also, I don't understand why they removed the 3-round burst mode and turned it into a Forerunner DMR... I hoped for a more alien behaviour

Thanks, that's nice. Was wondering why a K/D in a game would bring it down from 10.2 to 9.7.

Drats! Ye beat me to it!

I may as well ask here

it would be very cool if somebody could get precise shots/kill counts (divided into shots/shields & shots/hp) for whatever guns are in the beta. it would be extra cool if somebody could get footage of firing into walls at a reasonable distance to measure both regular and ads accuracy of the guns. I don't have an xo and am unable to do this myself, but am very interested to see exactly what these changes are

Ok seriously I can't find a single game without noob who do nothing but charge in and melee

50% of the games I join have at least 1 afk person in it

None of the Promethean weapons are particularly exotic in terms of functionality, save for perhaps the incinerator cannon. They're just reloadable energy weapons that fill the same roles that are already filled by Human and Covenant weapons.

I dont like that one new human power weapon.

Power weapons like the rocket had this thing
when you fired up close, it hurt you back. It was dangerous

This new power weapon just seems, idk, maybe not op, but I liked the power weapon were it was also dangerous to the user.

I wish the gameplay was more like halo 3 mechanics, or at least reach since that was balanced, required skill for real kills, and machine guns that aren't attached to vehicles were not OP

Since the inclusion of the combat knife in halo reach I am, hesitantly curious if a usable knife will ever be included within a future halo release.

The matchmaking for parties is beyond awful

Sounds like they can't even send out a functional beta. smh.

What's the point of a beta if you expect it to work flawlessly?

I don't expect it to work flawlessly, and I didn't expect it to work at all since we're talking about 343i.
