Support NeoGAF

[S0cc3rpunk]

Well done.

thank you

just 2 more days Gaf and halo 5 beta

 

[Super Stardust]

When the beta comes out do I have to go to the store to download it or from within mcc?

I'm guessing through the MCC. Preload should start around 10 AM Pacific Time, so you can download it early.

 

[Leyasu]

I don't know if I ever played a DLC Halo 4 map in matchmaking (not counting the maybe 2 week long dedicated playlist) or customs outside of Forge World stuff. I usually buy all the Halo map packs but I'm reluctant to do so now after the waste of $$ on the Halo 4 season pass.

I would rather pay for armour, armour skins, weapon skins and keep the map packs free.

 

[NoBL3Z]

Is this the thread to go to for meeting my fellow Halo brothers?

 

[Tawpgun]

I don't know where he got his info, but a good friend of mine said they weren't being reset.

Journey to my first pro championship continues!

 

[Blue Ninja]

3 versions of Halo 5.

Base - $60

Middle - $100

Big Boy - $250.

Reserves will be up soon.

$60 it is. $250 for a video game is crazy.

 

[T.O.P]

3 versions of Halo 5.

Big Boy - $250.

I'm intrigued

 

[Akai__]

I'm interested in the Crossfire mode. People refer to it as "Halo's Search and Destroy mode", but that's not really fitting, because there's also an objective in "Search and Destroy".

I like 1 life per round gametypes, because you will have to communicate more on a higher level.

We also have a community thread for anything Halo related: HaloGAF

I don't have MCC but I got in on the dashboard preview. Will I still be able to play this second run of the beta?

No.

 

[Marky Mark]

Lame.

 

[Dreadnought]

Lame.

You're complaining about not getting something for free?

 

[Family Fry]

No.

Has this been confirmed?

I booted the Halo early beta recently it had quite a large update (7-9gb?)
After update when you load it there's now a message saying, see you on the 29th.

 

[hammertomb]

If non mcc owners can play it that would make me hate mcc more.

Season pass and then cat helmet?

 

[Marky Mark]

It would seem as though that is exactly what I am doing.

[Yaranaika]

I hope it opens early so I can play tonight. 💆 pls

 

[Akai__]

It opens in about 26 hours.

 

[Diablohead]

Lame.

You need to buy the £40 coaster for beta access.

 

[Blueblur1]

Seriously crazy. And seeing what happened with Halo 4 DLC I'll just avoid the middle package which probably bundles in a season pass.

 

[op_ivy]

one more day!

 

[catmario]

Where is preload?

It's D-Day 12:45AM. And no sign of anything about preload.
What happened?!

 

[Gowans]

one more day!

Yeah Im ready now, just had to stop myself posting a gushing reminder thread.

 

[WizzNARD]

Where is preload?

It's D-Day 12:45AM. And no sign of anything about preload.
What happened?!

Pretty sure it's 10 am PST, so about 2 more hours to go.

Oops. I just know about that. Thanks for help!!!

 

[Diablohead]

Suppose to be 10am their time to get the download, then we can play tomorrow 9am their time.

Thanks a lot to you too!!!

 

[MrFrankFontaine]

Are there any plans for any NeoGaf matches? I won't be able to jump on until tomorrow night, but wouldn't mind playing with some fellow gaffers.

 

[Leyasu]

Do it, do it now!!!

This game warrants the gushing reminders... I am a bit pissed if I am honest. Tomorrow I'm going to be in the UK visiting my family until Saturday. So no halo 5 for me until Sunday.

Its gonna be a long week

 

[EchoChamber]

I need to download this shit right now.

 

[BeforeU]

I am ready for more Halo 5

 

[Leyasu]

Anyone else worried that three weeks of halo 5 is going to kill the MCC for them?

The two day trial began lining up the nails, I think that three weeks will shut the coffin for good.

Am I the only one?

I'm not worried at all

I'm not worried in the least, since I'd rather play broken classic halo than working call of halo.

 

[Leyasu]

Yes you are the only one.

I didn't realise you were the voice of GAF. I'll be keeping my eye on you from now on. ;-)

I dunno about "kill," but it's gonna be tough going back.

I finally got into a game on the MCC and whilst it felt pretty good, it was definitely missing something. It just felt slow.

 

[Virdix]

Omg reach plus halo 4 csr... I just don't get it I guess. One more day and then I can see if I like where they are going.

 

[Dynasty8]

Anyone know how to pre-download the beta?

I still have the beta file in my Game and Apps from December 19th. Not sure if there was an auto update, any way I can be sure?

There should be a little star in the top right corner of the icon in your games and apps. If it's not there, just start up the game, it should start downloading.

 

[Virdix]

Is that why it said my MCC was at 94%? Totally makes sense now.

The small green star was there, on the top right corner of the Beta file...but I'm checking now and it's not appearing. I'm guessing going into the app or game makes the notification to disappear?

When I go to manage game/app settings, the file still only shows as 10.2gb, which is the same as when I downloaded it.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

I don't know if this is new thread worthy, but select Best Buy locations will be allowing gamers ages 17+ to play the Halo 5 Guardians beta on December 29 and January 3 from 3pm - 7pm local time.

 

[Poodlestrike]

I actually don't know about that; I've got the separate app from the preview beta.

Hmm. I'm seeing the same thing, but I know I downloaded the update (and the little star goes away when you boot up the app).

I think they've moved to an "install-and-delete" model for patches, which would explain why the MCC isn't taking up 100+ gigs of space. It alters/replaces the relevant game files, then gets rid of itself. So 10.2 gigs is about right.

 

[3DShovel]

So hyped for tomorrow. Hopefully my work day isn't too long.

3 days of the beta killed my enthusiasm and desire to play the MCC. Seriously I can't go back, it was like trying to play BF4 after playing the Titanfall beta.

Lol. Perfect description. That's precisely when I stopped playing BF.
