Need help please. I received the early access tokens to download. Hit download but cancelled both as they were installing to my internal drive, which is full and the Xbox One didn't latch on to my external HDD as it was asleep after turning on the Xbox One.

I was able to download the beta client fully, but the other early access token is nowhere to be seen. And when I start the beta it says to come back on the 29th

 

[Jarrod38]

Damn the download is going slow at 63%.

 

[Competa]

It's 4 shot.

I tested it on a guy that was standing still... Its definitely 5 shots.

 

[Liferebooted]

Still no key even though I have Halo MCC =\

 

[Caayn]

For me ADS plays in to that as well, I think a lot of people feel they are being more accurate when using ADS even if it's purely a sub conscious thing.

Except ADS actually increases the accuracy of a weapon in Halo 5.

Are you in the preview program?

 

[RSB]

Ogre 2 was playing the Beta and after a couple of matches he stopped and started playing Halo CE. Love it.

Guess he got bored and decided to play a Halo game instead. LOL.

 

[Strider]

Because owning MCC has nothing to do with getting a key to play this weekend.

 

[WizzNARD]

Any news on if this works with game sharing?

 

[Liferebooted]

Well it should since I've had it since launch and it's still not playable. #worsethanassassinscreedunity

So is this just purely with automatic weapons or is it the same with the rifles as well?

 

[Skele7on]

Streaming after drinking all night

Playing terribly, I hate bumper jumper atm

 

[Septic360]

Man I'm getting my ass whooped! The controls are taking a while to get used to.

Watch me get merked.

Halo 2 Anniversary is a much better game then Halo 5. There I said it.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Just automatics, AFAIK.

 

[neogaffer1]

Ugh, no wonder I was doing better with single shot/burst shot weapons than fully auto weapons. I didn't ADS when I didn't have a weapon that I thought I could do long range with.

That and the terrible rocket launcher redesign is really pushing me away from Halo 5. At least it might have a decent campaign.

Spoiler

RIP Halo ;_;

 

[giancarlo123x]

MCC works fine now.

Absolute bullshit.
For this I want to try it personally before I pass judgement. A few more days.

 

[RoKKeR]

Alright, 10 games in and I'm Gold Tier II in the ranks. Is Onyx the highest tier?

 

[Noobcraft]

Just went 22-1. Holy crap lol.

 

[Orochinagis]

So Halo 5 beta have still the same Halo 4 assassinations?

Try a full shut down.

Flat-out lying from 343.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Got some error about can't connect when the lobby got full of 8 people.

Never actually used XBL to play online but someone else on our connection has done it before.

Is this a known issue?

Try restarting the game. I had problems with that for a few matches too until I restarted the beta.

 

[hao chi]

91 kills with the AR.

Not one headshots kill.

I need to brush up on ma Halo.

Full-auto weapons can't get headshots in Halo, unless they changed it for this game.

 

[Bolts-n-Rays1109]

Just went 22-1. Holy crap lol.

I went 19-2 on Truth my last game. I found some nice clamber routes and I was flanking people all the time. Really loving that map. Just need to nerf that SMG and Truth will be a great competitive map for Halo 5.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Based on a couple of hours play: This feels pretty great IMO.

 

[CylonLogicBomb]

Try a full shut down.

All good... Hit manage game on the beta client and pushed left to see the option to install the 9.5MB special invitation tile. Thanks anyway

 

[FatMarshall]

Holy shit, I just lost a game 49 to 50.

That must be a good thing, right?

 

[TheOddOne]

That isn't too shocking seeing as you pretty much disliked everything released about the game so far.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Holy shit, I just lost a game 49 to 50.

No. You lost!

 

[Oozer3993]

Just finished my first game. Feels just like Halo to me. Still has the three headed monster of Guns/Grenades/Melee. I need to get used to the new controls through. So many times I crouched instead of zooming in lol.

 

[NameGenerated]

This game is fun as fuck. SMG seems a bit too good though.

 

[Izuna]

I.... I got bored of it.

😞 Until they give us a proper Halo 3 Team Slayer Playlist, I guess Halo is done for me. Outside of the casual SWAT, but why the fuck did they put OG Halo 2 on that playlist? Meeeeh

 

[Noobcraft]

I was on empire. I never snipe well but I connected a few one shots and even got a snapshot. AR is actually viable in this game too.

 

[barneystuta83]

Full-auto weapons can't get headshots in Halo, unless they changed it for this game.

Well that explains why, haha.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Watching the streams, H5 Oddball is gonna be nuts.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Halo 2 Anniversary is a much better game then Halo 5. There I said it.

Is that an insult because Halo 2A isn't good, or is it a testament to H2A's excellence?

 

[Sojgat]

So jealous of those playing this now.

 

[BuggeryBugz]

So jealous of those playing this now.

Yep! Especially because I was in the preview program but left last month because of all the updates.

 

[Toa TAK]

Is that an insult because Halo 2A isn't good, or is it a testament to H2A's excellence?

H2A is pretty good.

Halo 5 is a ton of fun, too, though. I can't wait until the BETA opens up a bit more.

 

[Future PhaZe]

maps seem odd

like, power weapons are there which was the biggest flaw that h4 had but it almost feels like the weapons are inconsequential because the maps aren't made for them

idk, just my vibe from watching

 

[RdN]

This game is fun as fuck. SMG seems a bit too good though.

I think it's pretty perfect the way it is. It's a weapon pick up and should perform better than the AR for CQB.

 

[biosnake20]

Yep! Especially because I was in the preview program but left last month because of all the updates.

Damn thats tough, still waiting to be accepted into the program.

RIP Halo ;_;

Seriously?

I was shredding with the AR without even touching the scope.

 

[Gowans]

H2A is pretty good.

Halo 5 is a ton of fun, too, though. I can't wait until the BETA opens up a bit more.

Same love both, both very different.

Just finished my ranked games in the beta, so much fun. It's like Halo in panic mode with the speed.

Got ranked Bronze 1 it's very late

 

[BraXzy]

Would anyone like to join my and Skele7on as we tear people a 'used but in great condition' one?

 

[UND3RxOATH]

Finally getting into a groove of things now. Feels good!

 

[TheOddOne]

People rushed to get the Power Weapons when they were coming up from the matches I played.

 

[Sai]

?

Halo's always had power weapons, long before Halo 4.

 

[Welfare]

I tested it on a guy that was standing still... Its definitely 5 shots.

It is. I just got a perfect 4 shot.
