wasnt sprint on a in halo 4? that doesnt seem like a change with 5 thats broken the control scheme. i agree its a bit awkward, but thankfully it doesn't need t be held down or anything.

Halo 4
what does halo 5 have you ranked as?
are you implying control scheme is directly related to rank by causation?
Don't blame sprint blame your enemies aim

I played several different game types in MCC yesterday, and all I could think about was that I'd rather be playing Halo 5 Beta MP (I was in the preview last week). I found myself constantly trying to sprint, only to remember there is no sprint.
Rocking the default controls so far, I like how that feels.

That's all Sprint. Any other Halo (not Reach or 4), I would be dead.
Probably being sarcastic, but this is why I don't have a problem with sprint.

The way the announcer says P E R F E C T is so good bump worthy.
I was actually playing on someone else's account during early access so I have no idea.
Probably Pro *flexes*
Tough call first fight guy had bad aim, second is a bit hard I would say you were prolly 1shot away
It would be nice if you can see other players view
Good job 343.

I have a retail copy of MCC and it doesn't need to be on The console tu play The beta
It didn't look like sprint had very much to do with your surviving in that clip. Falling a full level down and cutting around corners in a tightly enclosed space was the bulk of it. It also hurts to watch you run into walls, which meant most of your run-speed wasn't even being translated into movement. The latter half though, it helped.
That being said, I really like the sound design there.
Flinch is the only thing stopping the sword though. In other cases it sucks but with the movement buff and super lunge of the Prophets Bane, flinch is the only thing that gives you a chance.

Hit detection seems very questionable when watching replays.
AR also seems to be as potent as a spitball gun from my limited experience. Why even have it?

Try that again in 2 weeks. You won't have the same luck. Some people are just learning how to shoot.

So at first I was using the Halo 4 control scheme because I like thrusters on a bumper and it feels more classic, but then I realized that I had no control over the direction of ground pound anymore. I don't have enough fingers for that :/
Had to switch to default which took me some time to get used to. I screwed up real bad for a few games.

Easy, don't use Ground Pound.
you can't. stupid beta options.
Aww my bad. I was thinking flinch was the movement reduction when shot, not accuracy.

Early impressions
-Feels like halo
-AR is strong as shit, and seems to have more range?
-The abilities seem balanced, and Ground pound is hilarious to pull off
- Scope zoom for LT feels terrible imo, I had to switch to HL4 control scheme
-Having power weapon respawn announcements should be removed
-I don't really care for the BR scope, but I do like the DMR scope
Back to playing...

People talked about flinch during the preview but I never noticed it. I wonder how much better I'd be without it.
A lot.
I really want to know what the hell happened.. Josh Holmes clearly said that there was no flinch, and then when the beta comes, there's flinch.

How do I get the beta? I've had the mcc since launch but it's still greyed out in the main menu and I can find it in the store
Hard reset your system.
Back out after you finish a match and go back into matchmaking. You can find matches faster that way.

I hate when you get on a team that's complete ass; Guys were literally sprinting into walls. At least I got into Onyx division.
Preview beta still works, but you have to download a 8 GB update.

I feel like I'm doing way worse than in the first beta, but I think that's because everyone always grabs any BR on the field as soon as they can, and when I die I have problems trying to find one (I'm trash with the AR but decent with the BR).
