To be fair, this is much farther along than H3 was a year from it's release, which is the earliest we've ever seen a halo game before prior to this. If you look at the EGM scans or the leaked pimps at Sea pictures, its clear this is much further along.

I still am unsure if I like the game or not, I still believe the ADS needs to go and the weapons need to be more diverse. I also think additional autoaim + higher kill times would work well for it.

Additional auto-aim ain't happening, it's now apart of the advertising for pro status halo players.
And they probably have 3 different teams working on this game again because Microsoft can't trust 343i and halo alone in the same room. [:)]

Seriously? I've felt its been stronger than in previous games. Idk it seems like Im getting more kills than I usually do

It's seriously reduced from other games it feels, although it may vary based on if you are in ADS mode or not.

Dont know but it feels fine to me. I use ADS like a scope from the other games (I use the halo 4 control layout as well, so its even the same button for me). So even out of scope, I'm not having issues

You know what this means: do not purchase H5 on release. Make a stand people!

Correct, but the Light Rifle now is even more rural and generic than in Halo 4.
I remember the disappointment I had with the Scattershot the first time I used it: I mean... yeah, it's an alien shotgun, but why should it reload EXACTLY like a human shotgun? Honestly the whole Promethean weaponry is wrong in terms of ammunition. They should have added a third ammunition system, different from the bullet-based human weapons and the battery-based Covenant weapons

i think they could've taken more advantage of that wierd transformer system thing and just have the guns reload for you xD

Yes! An Assault rifle that reloads itself into a vehicle.This is genius!
Editacular: I want to know why assists even have a roll in the calculation in KD

games are being more and more friendly "OH YOUR WORST ENEMY KILLED A DUDE AND YOU FIRED ONE BULLET 5 MINUTES AGO AND HE FULLY RECOVERED BUT SINCE YOU SHOT HIM HERES A GOLD STAR"

Incinerator probably had the most unique of them all... but that name... if deaths are data purges, where is the fire coming from?

Does anyone else expect a Mercy map that looks like yet another midship remake?

Not many glitches that I see

imo if you look at it as not being a halo game its a pretty decent game. but i do not like this beta so far...

kinda to me looks like 343 tried to copy destiny a tad bit. look at the aesthetics. not to mention the beginning of each round is exactly like destiny MP, microsoft also went with an ads system and continues to have sprint when it was pretty well said that people didn't want it...

not saying it was. but it did contribute to it feeling less like a part of the series

Chiming in to say that I'm a big fan of the beta. Matchmaking, like MCC, is a bit broken, but the game is fun, exciting, modern, and enjoyable. The autoaim seems a bit extreme (though that may be lag shown on the killcams, who knows). Feels far superior to Halo 4 to me.

you know you are playing a cod game when you click to sprint but crouch instead

Play on a different control scheme.



This ^^^ sometimes I invite a dude, we go into matchmaking and as soon as we find a match he gets booted and someone else takes his place. Gg.

I wish it would be possible to revert to the H3 control scheme.

Or maybe customize buttons and usages to our own preference.

I've always wanted the second option in every Halo game tbh. But the Recon control scheme seems the best option

I couldn't locate the recon option within any halo game after reach. Have my eyes deceived me?

some good discussion going on in that link. i agree with the people complaining about the changes 343 has implemented... they claimed they were returning to the roots of the series yet when watching halo 5 gameplay (and playing it) i scarcely feel that similarity to the classic games. forget the visual assets (blegh) for a moment and look at the core mechanics. to me i feel more like i am playing crysis 2 than a halo game.

I don't know about Halo 4 (the default configuration was my fav), but here in Halo 5 it's like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwpuFDgGcEo

Many thanks soi.

I like it, it's a nice change but still Halo. I think almost all modern games should have sprint, I think that you should have the ability to do what any normal real life person can do...

Doesn't make sense that a super solider has all this advanced equipment but can't bloody run... lol

THIS ^ THIS!!!!! And honestly the games pacing is just too slow without sprint. the game pretty much needs it.

I think games should be a collage of realism, depending on the game, and play-ability.
But you're right, I think you should be able to run in all games, like Street Fighter. :)))
But seriously, why would you need to sprint in Halo when all you need to do in Halo is stay in one spot the entire match and control the map?

New control scheme: Veteran.

Control scheme of HCE, with bumper's as sprint and thruster packs.

recon is just fine for classic halo veterans (like me)

looks like i might actually end up with another cod game on my pc XD i cant stand that games community on consoles

It also doesn't make sense than the master chief can't take a piss but that doesn't mean they should add it.

Spartans are cathetered, and their suits recycle the urine into drinking water. For all we know, the Chief could be urinating in every cutscene.

As a substitute to sprint why don't they make the character you play as increase walking it's speed the further up you push the left joystick?

real original 343.... i'm amazed i'm the only person to have pointed this out so far XD

http://youtu.be/rENnOCcdosw

so far in my eyes 343 doesnt have the ablility to come up with original ideas and keep halos status as a series that innovated rather than following the crowd

Don't worry, everybody's noticed it. But I agree entirely with the lack of innovation.

Cause doing the same intro really ruins everything the game has to offer
