Halo 4 ...
Lol. Fair enough - was just rushing through the controller schemes while getting shot.

Really? I thought it felt like Call of Duty because that's exactly what its like.
I'm personally loving Recon.

Same here, having boost on the bumper is great.
''Bro'' (eughhh) there may be some implementation of auto aim but whatever it is it's certainly not the sticky type, it's very easy to overshoot on the Beta at the moment. Be interesting to see what 343 have done.
You must have played a completely different beta than what i've played. Unless COD plays a lot like Halo these days.

What the hell is wrong with XBL? And why is the Xbox One party system so bad?

Not gonna lie, yes it feels similar in some regards, but the game is still Halo at heart.
Takes some time to adjust. The game is a blast.

Wow there are a lot of medals in this game.
why i agree with balance changes to both what you describe would probably make AR = smg, as in they'd feel the same

I have always played bumper jumper. When I played H5 during the early beta I quickly learned bumper jumper is not good in H5. So far I think the Halo 4 control setup is the best. Its only down fall is when you try to ground pound. You have to claw or switch your left thumb to the right stick to aim.

343 have hinted at another beta later in 2015 for BTB.
Well SciFi Setting + modern games with all the details tend so have that.
But I don´t want that they reduce any effects or anything.
is that why you went silent? well, if you want more torture later, send me an invite.

Ah yes. The joys of having half-hour team quit and the last one afk. Knowing I'm being ranked makes that exceptionally frustrating. Gimme something where if half your team quits then your rank is unaffected or something.
They should be close to the same weapons in my opinion. SMG definitely shouldn't be stronger in close range.

Match finished, went down a rank, could not find a way to see the scoreboard...? so dumb.
Finding it really hard to aim well, it's like the aiming stick has zero acceleration so I overlook everything, i'm fine without sticky crosshairs the problem is the movement speed jumps to full.

Yeah only ones I care about at the moment are top gun and perfect kill. I love those two.

Havn't had any issues with the build, i'm finding matches easily and havn't experienced any glitches but the game itself... not sure I like it. It's far more balanced than Halo Reach and 4 but i'm not sure it's as fun as either of them (coming from someone who disliked them). Everything feels very basic yet at the same time overcomplicated. The visuals feel kind of generic as do the weapons and controls yet the map designs, ADS and pacing are not too great imo

A crisp clear visual image is better then one full of dark corners and jaggies, i'd prefer them to remove some detail and filter the image better personally.

Man, the Beta is butter smooth (in terms of not only frame rate but network performance). I won 7 out of 10 games, currently sitting with 135 kills and 65 deaths. I have a rank of Gold 1, almost Gold 2. Really enjoyed what I played of it so far, one other note, the SMG is a beast.
i think they each need a role. i'm OK with the AR being close to mid range viable and smg pretty much limited to close range, but if thats the case the smg definitely needs to be better then the AR.
What specifically don't you like about BJ? I used it in the preview and thought it was fine. More viable than in Reach/4, imo, cause no jet pack.

I think H5's soft image quality is sort of messing with me too. Hopefully they can get this to 1360x1080 + decent post-AA before launch.

Jump height is low and skill jumps are all but gone so jumping is not that important in H5. Thrust better on the bumper because I use it much more.

So does this game not work either? Downloaded the beta today and can't get into a single game.

Also, has anyone encountered this bug? It lasted a lot longer then the clip I took: http://xboxclips.com/DestiniesReqium/9df15f73-0dc4-4418-a473-c434d25d97dc

You try hard resetting your Xbox? I had issues at first but it's been smooth sailing ever since, and seems like the majority of the people here are having a pretty solid experience finding matches too.

That did it, thank you.
Matchmaking isn't good in this either. Better than MCC but still not great. Try a reset

This guy's right, try a reset. I kept filling up a lobby and my screen would go strobe on me. 20 seconds later, "matchmaking timed out"

This game is fan-bloody-tastic.
With some tweaks, easily the best Halo MP so far IMO.
With some tweaks, easily the best Halo MP so far IMO.
After playing in the preview weekend and today here is my list of changes that I would like to see:
1. The SMG is too overpowerd with the scope. Either remove the scope (unlikely, but preferred) or at least make the scope have a greater spread. I think unscoped the SMG is great as is because it dominates in close quarters as it should. Although I hope that the SAW is not returning as I feel the SMG mostly fills its role now.
2. The animation for scoping should be increased in speed, because it feels like it is too slow especially when using the sniper.
3. I am actually fine with the sights they have in the game, but I would prefer if they removed the physical gun model yet kept the same hud elements that bringing up the scope currently has because those look great.
4. I would like for scopes to be removed from the weapons that traditionally do not have them as I feel it extends their range beyond what they should be. The AR is already good at a decent distance, it doesn't need a scope to further improve its range.
5. Again, not really necessary but I think kill cams should be removed. If they are not, they should extend the time before death that it displays, because currently you only see the last shot or so that killed you. This makes it really hard to determine where grenades or people came from when using the kill cam.
6. Remove the intro and exit sequences or change them from their current form as they are too dude-bro. In the same vein, I love spartan chatter but would prefer they remove lines that say "snipes" or "power weapons" as this makes the chatter feel more gamey and not like a squad of military personnel.
Most of these are pretty minor things and I am actually incredibly happy with the rest of the games. Audio and visuals are great, as is the feel of shooting a weapon and the reduced aim assist. All of the spartan abilities also work well and I do not feel any are overpowered. Map design is also really good, artistically and gameplay wise.I really can't wait to play more and see how the rest of the weapons are coming along. I hope the covenant weapons become more competitive in this game because I love the audiovisuals associated with them but I feel that they are pretty ineffective in halo post combat evolved.

Feels like I am poking people, while they hurt, a lot.
Also spawns seem all over the place.
