Halo 5: Guardians Beta Thread | Hot Red on Blue Action

i think I'm ok with ADS not ok with Sprint still. It's a tragedy they're putting ADS LT by default I don't know how anyone could play with that method given de scope.
 
Fuck ya people still do it. I still T-bag as my friend said, "its the polite thing to do."

And im not feeling this multiplayer

maybe itll grow on me. feels strange
 
Ive not played this yet but i just got this message from my most DIEHARD halo friend.
I'm away off the now pal,
I'll play some halo advanced modern futuristic warfare with you laters tho.'
Someones not happy!
 
Just played my first match. Game feels fantastic. Gonna take a bit to get used to the thruster pack and not sprinting when shields are down but yeah, I'm really impressed so far.
 
Shouldn't it be 4 (headshot) bursts to kill?

in halo 4 you can 4 shot as long as the 12th pellet hits the head, I personally dislike it because it makes the kill times extremely quick over range, Halo 2 was 5 shot and halo 3 was all over the place :P

I personally prefer how it was in halo 2 but eh, got to evolve I guess.
 
So I am confused by the OT, if I got a code from the preview program is that still active or do I need the MCC also?
 
I would be great if 343 could set an option for it to auto record clips for specific medals and then make a highlight reel ready to share.
 
I had to switch it to the Halo 4 controls scheme. The default just doesn't register with me in a Halo game.

Default sucks, RS Zoom master race. We need to haze the new guys who use LT to establish our seniority.

On a side note, Spartan chatter is a lot less annoying in-game. You only notice the important info, I like it.
 
getting some really nice plays

and some really terrible teammates.

feels like halo :)
 
I am new to the Xbox, just got my console on Christmas, do i need to play past Halo's to understand the game?? or will i be totaly lost if I start from Halo 5? I have no desire in playing the past titles as i DO NOT have the time like i used to for gaming,
 
Encounters seem to be heavily balanced around thrusters; as in if you are facing 2 enemies there is almost no way you can win the encounter with the base movement speed being as low as it is. You have to rely on evading them instead of attack them, which is really weird.
 
it really doesn't

and what is here doesn't feel very good

Really as much as I hate to eat the crow to me it feels amazingly like Halo. I feel more like a spartan now then I have before. Matches are close and you don't feel like you got screwed when you die. The only thing I'm not digging is the sounds. They're pretty awful but the gameplay is phenomenal.

You'll probably get your ass handed over to you when you first start playing. Understanding that you have to deplete the shields first will take some time.

Locking on with the sword, one shot kill to the head with a precision gun, insta kill by beatdown from the rear. Some of the little things you need to get to grips with.

oh dopey.

opinions and all.


some guy just tried to ground pound me from waaaay up on truth and while he was diving at me i finished him off with the pistol. lovin this. only issue is i still feel the range on the AR/SMG is a bit too good. i *think* i'm ok with the damage and how they dominate at close range, but they shouldnt at longer ranges like they do. oh, and grenade spam is too prevalent. easy fixes though (and fairly minor if they dont change em)
