You need to download the access code too. Press the start / options button on the beta tile on your dashboard and select Manage Game from the options. On the screen that loads you'll find the small access file in the ready to install section on the right. Grab that and it'll work :)

There's nothing there. :(

Hate the way your performance rank decreases just for losing. What if you perform way better than the rest of your teammates and carry the team but still lose? Kind of unfair to punish players for other peoples performances. Should've named it "Team Performance" rank.

Yeah I agree. I understand that it's called team deathmatch, but ever since I got a gold skill ranking I always end up carrying my team and losing. They need to work on the matching of players better.

Anyone else having MCC like issues find players? Constantly have to quit the game because I can't back out and start a new search.

Best way to combat this is to leave right after the match ends and you're back in the lobby. I do this constantly, and with great success because I get matched up pretty fast.

The call of duty crowd is absolutely dominating this game. The SMG and AR have such a miniscule TTK that if you are decent at call of duty you are a god at this game. If you try to play it like you would Halo 2/3 you will get destroyed.

Especially when it says right before the codes are listed is says you "have to redeem BOTH codes." People giving away the codes have to somehow miss the word BOTH in all caps and write down the other code.

maybe you should just keep your distance from people if you are getting your ass kicked in close range.

Eh. If you try to play it exactly like Halo 2 (BR out all times other than power weapons), then yeah, you'll get wrecked, but trying to play it like COD will also get you put down. You've got to pick the right weapon for the right situation. Automatics in close combat, precision weapons at range. Remember, if you've got a BR you can still hit cross-map while descoped; not so much with an AR/SMG.

God I just had one of my worst games ever. Last night the game clicked for me and now I'm fumbling about again, sorry to people watching my stream :p

Is it just me or is it laggier today? I feel like my actions are more delayed than they were yesterday? Some things feel like I have 200ms ping or something. Specifically anything to do with the sniper and also changing weapons.

That violates the terms of the preview program. These codes are actually tied to your gamertag. And will only work with your gamertag. FAIL.

Got home and played my first Beta match, went 21-1. The Prophet's Bane takes to much of The screen plus the shiny effect made my eyes suffer a bit.

But man, I love this.

Over time though, your skill is better summed up by your team's success than it is any other metric. Obviously it gets thrown off if you play with the same people constantly, but it's still the best ranking system.

I've played a lot of Halo multiplayer, from Halo 2 online through even Halo 4. I was as high level as you could get without cheating in Halo 2, multiple 50s in Halo 3, even had a KD > 3 and 80% win rate in Halo 4 and yet this game feels nothing like those. Halo 2, 3 and 4 had their similarities in movement and TTK. This throws all that out the window. Sure people may enjoy it and I'm seeing people here getting overly defensive about any criticism but IN MY OPINION (not fact people) the game is tailored towards the Call of Duty crowd in trying to emulate certain TTK and movement (especially from advanced warfare).

Just to be sure I wasn't rusty I loaded up MCC and managed to play a few games and dominated, won every round with > 3KD. My halo skill isn't translating to this game and that's fine. It just isn't a game made to feel or play like Halo.

I don't know holding top bridge on truth with a BR feels like halo to me. Autos need a nerf but to say this doesn't play at all like halo is just ridiculous

I think the AR is too powerful. I always try to use the Pistol but I've found the AR to be better if not equal including at long range. I much preferred the AR in Halo 1-3, more weak and less effective at range where it was newb friendly but you knew you had to find a better guy. It's telling after using both I stopped using the Pistol for the AR.

I too think the control schemes need work. Bumper Jumper is ruined. Halo 4 preset seems the best. I spent a lot of time sifting through them and couldn't find one that feels 'right' like the usual occurrence when playing games.

I don't think this game was tailored especially for the AW crowd. It plays nothing at all, plus dev time would have made it impossible.

Man what is the point of an automatic weapon if it doesn't dominate at close range. That was a problem I actually had in halo 1-3 the autos were absolutely useless. If that's the case might as well make it BR and DMR only and call it quits on all the other weapons. I'm fine with auto weapons given a purpose to be honest

100% agreed. There are so many ways to make space between you and the enemy, if you get close to someone and you have a precision weapon you should expect to get torn up by an smg.

I know what you mean, it has a much different feel than the previous Halo games...but I think it's a good change and one that needed to happen.

I was ranked pretty high in Halo 2, 3, and 4...but jumping into this game is showing me that there's a lot more I need to get better at.

I'm getting worked during some games. I need to start playing with a team and improve my aim with the precision weapons.

Yep, totally agreed. I said over in HaloGAF but having a competent AR and Magnum right off the start keeps things more competitive. Obviously you have an advantage with a BR/DMR but I love feeling that I can actually survive and succeed with the AR/Magnum combo.
