Am I crazy, or did they axe the melee lunge? Or at least hugely reduce the range of it.

- Thread starter VisceralBowl
- Start date
Disagree (I'm playing on a 1080p TV too). I think the Halo 5 beta looks much better than Titanfall even though the latter is a higher resolution. Definitely isn't the worst looking game on the system.

No you're not crazy... I feel it too.

Really? It's running at 720p with no AA of any type. It looks worse than BF4 and that's saying something.
My TV is from 2007 and it's 1080p. Everyone's TV is 1080p. It looks great. Maybe you need to turn off your image processing.

It is good to see all these positive comments. Lol
The game is fucking awesome. I just need to get the hang of the controls. Did 343 talk to respawn?? Because I am sure that I have been playing on dedicated servers.
One thing for the final game. PLEASE mappable buttons!!!! Your defaults are shit.
Apart from that, carry on, you done real good.

Explain how I'm wrong. Anything running at 720p is going to have terrible IQ compared to 1080p.
Wrong in the sense that it's not the worse looking game on my Xbox One. That title goes to Dead Rising 3.
Not really, both games look good.
Not as good as the H4 port and H2A, but it's looks better graphically in some aspects.

Dead rising had some AA on it to clean it up, this has none of that. Try again.
LOL okay, I'll let you keep thinking that.
It's fun to judge a game's graphics a year out from release.

I said the beta was terrible and I hope they polish it before launch, but I guess I can't expect someone who's blind to know how to read properly.

Don't know what it is, but I'm kicking ass so far lol. Back to back MVPs, both matches I got Killing Frenzies, and I'm terrible at Halo normally. And the second match could have been a Perfection had I not got wreckless.

You guys are making me not regret buying an Xbone by the sound of it.
Seems like a proper step in the right direction for Halo.

Its is an early build of a game 11 months from release!
It looks good to me, and will no doubt look great on release.

Ah man p2p and you was host ?? Lol
Nope. Sounds like Halo 2/3. You don't know how happy you made me by posting that. You shouldn't be rewarded at all for a team losing but perhaps not be penalised as bad if you performed well.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Oh god. Matched against strongside and ghostayame. Lol here we go.
yep. 50-3. I went 0-13. Spawn and die almost immediately to one of their two snipers.

I'm playing in Australia and the lag is woeful. Are any Aussies getting good connections or is this P2P and I'm just copping American hosted games?

I've never had more respect for Bungie than I do after playing two matches of this beta. Holy shit this is awful.
Isn't that against the rules? If not you can share the code with me. I'm at work
I want it!!!
To be fair to my tv it has a much better image than a lot of 1080p tv's. Quality over quantity?

Really bad gameplay compared to Halo
It is Halo.

Weird thing happened a few times. It finds all 8 players. Then 1-2 will get dropped and nothing will happen after that. You are stuck until you quit.
Known issue?

So I redeemed both codes and it still says I have to wait until the 29th?

Yeah. Seems to be that if anybody drops out during matchmaking (or possibly a specific stage of matchmaking), it kind of screws up the whole process.
Hard reset?

It feels like Halo, just super janky Beta Halo. I'm not even remotely worried about the graphics. It's a year away, get real. Let's help them with all the gameplay bits that feel wonky (hit detection, weapon balance).

I think Mario Kart 8 looks great. 'Terrible' is ridiculous hyperbole.

Now that is almost not surprising. No dedicated servers!! Or you are getting put onto a server in another region.
Either way really shitty

Got azure servers not too long ago, around april.
Probably shitty placement like every game besides titanfall.

Weapon pickup icons need to be more pronounced. On Midship you don't even notice if you are standing on top of a weapon.

Yeah. It's a little too faint now; maybe change the color and brighten it a little bit?
EDIT: Bigger/bolder font isn't a bad idea either, come to think of it.

Tried.
It doesnt look much if any better than halo 4, its a mess but its a beta so this will be fixed. im having connections issues like mcc too ffs.

You're right. I've had a few instances where I want to go in for the melee kill and end up hitting empty air in the face. :lol
At least this time they're properly labeling it as a Bèta.
Yikes....I've played BF4 on XBO and it's not pretty. This is expected tho, I thought the beta was announced at 720p a while ago.
Damn it, was expecting to get my MCC copy back tonight, but gotta wait till tomorrow. Boo!

This is fantastic. So much faster and so much more precise than the previous game. Loving it all so far and I usually don't play MP
