hah - just as I turned it off anyhow. Want to watch Nightfall tomorrow and in full quality. The PC stream wasn't nice enough to watch a feature, even though I have very low expectations for Nightfall. CG > Live action any day.

What I like:
Thrusters
Ground Pound
Ledge Grab
If they act like how they are being described, They seem like they have the potential to actually add something to the game. I fail to see how Ledge Grab could go wrong because it adds an element of skill to the game. Thrusters will likely work because its not full out jet pack and will only be used to extend jumps. Ground Pound seems like it has enough drawbacks and will turn into a humiliation kill type thing.
Conflicted:
Sprint
Having sprint not regen health seems like it may fix that feature, but up until now every time Sprint has been attempted in Halo it has been absolutely terrible. I'm going to be watching this closely.
Hate:
ADS
Yes, I know that its just aesthetic, but I can't perform my suspension of disbelief knowing how the weapon is suppose to integrate with the Mjolnir Armour Systems. It feels wrong and I don't like it.
Meh:
Prophets Bane
Its just the Energy Sword finally getting a name.

Bailed out on the stream.
I'm gonna wait and watch Nightfall when all the episodes are released.

Damn straight. 3 minutes.
Watching the pros play....it looks exactly like fucking Halo. At first I was worried it would be CoD, but now I'm disturbed we've been playing the same shit for years. Forget MCC Midship, Halo 5 Midship is just a higher fidelity of the same game 8 or so years ago. You have the odd sprint here and there, and a thrust around the corner, but other than that, its still sticking BR shots, chucking grenades and controlling the map.
Anyone worried about these changes for H5 should be relieved, if you aren't, quite frankly, I'm afraid for your mental health that you really want a carbon copy of the games you've been playing for years.

How long is this nightfall video suppose to be?
One hit kill only on direct hit.. im ok with that, especially with the increased mobility
Having an ability that can one hit kill someone just doesn't feel right, your probably right and there is a beta after all....... if its terrible hopefully its removed.
A lot of stuff, is not for experienced players, but shouldn't interfere with their play style. "piñata" being a good example.

i guess i'll watch this while playing mcc
Call me when you can climb up a ledge
Different swords. Prophet's Bane gives you a speed boost I think

Not the biggest fan of the climbing. Feel like it gets rid of skill jumps. I wasn't a big fan of the ground pound at first, but after seeing it's not an AoE and you stay put in the air for a second makes it seem fair. The new zoom/ADS is little jarring at first, but I felt like I was already getting used to it by the end of the match. Overall I thought it looked pretty awesome. Still aboard the H5 hype train. Looking forward to Dec. 29th.

It's been 11:59 for 5 minutes.
If the community bitch enough about it, they'll probably remove it. So we gotta let them hear us
Something tells me most of this comments come out of people that weren't even in to begin with.
Also nightfall doesn't look as terrible as it thought it would, mm weird.
I may be 20 years late but superbounces are not gone?

Thanks. I'm not entirely opposed to what I saw tonight and I was happy to hear kill streaks were gone and equal starts were in.
That's a special version lol. Not the regular version. As someone else said, Fist of Rukt vs hammer.
I do like how you have to press a button to climb, though.
Hey frank, will there be a dedicated forum for beta feedback? Like an official beta forum meant for feedback? Sort of like "H5betafeedback.com" or something.

Beta looks interesting. Cant say anything solid until I play it for myself. Looks a lot like Halo 4 except that everyone is basically on equal ground with each other. I'd like to see some slower gameplay in a larger map. The smaller maps always speed things up a lot. In general it's super fast, though. Dunno how I feel about that. I'm actually happy to see Midship made a little larger.
The little rocket boost is interesting. People are always clamoring for more strafing. Well now strafing will be an even bigger part of the game.
The new reticles look really cool. I'm not so hot on climbing. After seeing it in action, it isn't bad but I miss normal skill jumps.
Not feeling negative but not feeling overly positive either. I'm more in a "wait and see" state of mind!
Which is the path that Halo 2 and Max Hoberman set it on years ago. Halo used to be Blood Gulch and Sidewinder and now it's Lockout and Midship. What's the surprise?
