In halo you can carry any two weapons you can find.
Never played Halo before?
In the videos he posted above, it looks like he is carrying a sniper rifle and an AR. I could be wrong tho.
Yep... I'm a NOOB...
It's Halo, you can pick up any weapon and swap it with any other weapon.

and why shouldn't you be able to carry a snipe and AR?
You can carry any two weapons you find on the field. So if you see a sniper lying around you can swap any weapon you have for it, be it a pistol or an AR. You're limited to carrying two weapons, however they can be any weapon you like.

It's all good. If you're used to games with loadouts, they generally allow you to select a primary weapon and a side arm. Hell, even Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker is like that. Halo, up until 4, was all about same starts with weapons spawning on map. Take which ever two you want/can find.

There are very few and very select times where it would be useful. 99% of the time you're just a floating duck...
What's a "primary"?
In terms of picking guns up in the field, Halo has never been restrictions as to which weapons you can carry simultaneously. The only limitation is that you usually can't carry the same weapon in both slots (Halo 2 has a bug that allows you to get around that, but otherwise, no).
Seriously. I'd rather wait 15 minutes for a match and have it be playable than half a minute and have it be infuriatingly laggy.
Thanks,will try it today!
It's a beta, calm down. Let's not crucify them for something that could easily be implemented in the final game.
It'd kill you to admit something might be a fun addition to the game, huh?

I was using to catch others off guard. They expected me to fall down at a normal speed, so they went from headshots to body shots. Also you can get different angles if you're following through with a kill or throw in a couple team shots.

I do it every time there is a good addition to the game. Too bad that hasn't happened for over 4 years now.
Scratch that, Reach did add the Grenade Launcher and had a great evolution of forge. That and ZBNS MLG is still one of, if not the very best Halo gameplay experience to date.
So, 3 good things out of how many god awful things?
Well thankfully 5 has added the best new addition to Halo since forever, to be honest with the thrusters.

Giving every terrible player with woeful positioning skills a built in escape is now a good thing? wow... just wow...
You are seriously just the worst.
If only it wasn't broken.Didn't 343 release a game for people who want old school Halo last November
Yup, that's the only thing thrusters do. Nothing else. They're actually completely useless. You're logic is undeniable.
You are in a bad mood aren't you.
Biggest problem with Halo 5 at the moment is sprint, people should be focusing on raising that issue first.

What else do they do? Completely break map flow. How great of them.
Sprint + thruster takes the problem to all new heights...
Video game "elitism" is just sad.

I can see your point if you were launched across the map when thrusters are used. As they are right now they add a new (nice) wrinkle to gun battles, especially at close quarters.
First off they don't "break map flow". You seem to be assuming that anything which has changed is broken or bad. The map flow hasn't been broken with thrusters, it's changed. The maps are designed with it in mind and as a result it works really well.
Thrusters make duels 10* more interesting than they were in previous games. Halo 5 has the best BR duels of any Halo game by far.
They also create awesome opportunities for skill jumps, and skillful movement in general.

Love it. Love the callouts and I love the brodown at the end of the match. I ain't even ashamed of it, one of my favorite new additions and I hope they don't take it out.
Now what needs to be removed is killcams and the death music. Killcams are unnecessary in Halo and I don't think they've worked since their implementation. And the music just needs to go.
I don't need them saying "I'm reloading Snipes".

Wondering how the covie weapons are going to work since the AR/SMG are already shield wreckers and covenant weapons are supposed to be superior at taking out shielding. (dynamic was UNSC weapons dealt better damage VS health while Cov. weapons were better against shields).
either means covenant weapons are getting a crazy buff (possibly bad) or will become almost useless (also bad) ((Sans the Carbine))

What? The BR duels are awful in Halo 5. It's just thrusting into cover constantly.
I'm struggling to think of how they're going to fit the Covenant and Promethean weaponry into the current sandbox. Unless they have some very unique properties there is going to be massive overlap.
How is that any different from strafing back and forth from cover?
I'm talking about a BR duel out in the open. It is far more interesting in 5 because of thrusters. In previous Halos, if you had two people with competent aiming, it was literally who could pull off their shots the fastest.
We getting new maps tomorrow
Clamber and sprint are the changes that ruin the game for me. I could deal with a delayed smart scope and even thrusters if those other changes weren't included. There looks to be no jumps that you can crouch on to, everything is set to clamber height and elongated for sprint.
For example in Truth it does not look like you can jump from red/blue 1 to red/blue 2 or jump into either window without clambering. Why did they have to remove skilled map traversal?

Are the new maps going to replace the two maps we have now? I know they're remixes, but will empire and truth stay in rotation?

Damn, this game is really fun. Too bad I'm getting matched with poop and usually an afk dude, I'm starting to own.
