BR starts are such fucking ass. I really hope 343 keeps that in its own separate playlist in the full release,

Care to explain why?

BR starts are great. A precision weapon for professionals.

JayEH · Jan 3, 2015

Got a nice 4 kill to win the round in Breakout that ended with a Triple Kill, Killing Spree, Extinction, Trifecta. Well I really just was in the right place at the right time

Assassination animations are just terrible from a gameplay perspective. You sneak up behind an enemy for what should be an easy kill but instead you get locked into this animation that allows the enemy team enough time to kill you while you're defenseless.

I can't even get them to come out half the time. Even on AFKers.

FaintColt388301 · Jan 3, 2015

The amount of times me and the opponent kill each other in this game is off the charts. Its so annoying.

They should do what Reach did: hold RB for assassination, tap for beat down.

It's hilarious that this is an issue in a competive 4v4 shooter in 2015. There is no reason for low tickrate servers or bad pings.

128 tick will just crash these servers

JimiNutz · Jan 3, 2015

Assassinations should be hold melee and then push another button as well. So for example, hold RB then tap B to activate the animation.

That way it's not going to accidentally happen in the heat of battle and get you killed.

Yep, it is garbage, so many times 1 dude will drop and it's either wait 10 mins or back out using party trick.

But you can't complain because 'beta'

Red has disadvantage across the board, so far they stick out prominently on all the maps we have seen and Blue blends in as it's less vibrant.

Red has always had a disadvantage due to the human brain being better at distinguishing it due to evolution, though in practise this can be mostly negated in games by making blue more vibrant.

Yeah I noticed that. Blue blends in all dim and dark places. Not just in Eden, but also those caves in Regret, like when you are at the outside shooting Blue inside.
I agree with some posts here that spartans should be outlined.

Is it? Because I try lightly tapping but I always enter the assassination animation anyway. I'l have to focus on that more then. Either way I think we should be given the option to turn them off.

Hahaha I love how the calls extend into the next round.

Zabant · Jan 3, 2015

A whole bunch of times I have gone for the assassination and my idiotic spartan does the shoulder charge and only takes down shield leaving me open to a teambang.

Ya, it's the same as Reach. I haven't had a problem with this and have been playing for 20 hours.

Dreams-Visions · Jan 3, 2015

Damn it, I love this game and I was hoping I wouldn't so I could maintain my hard line on 343i.

Alas, shit is fun as hell. Broken teams and shit ranking system aside.

Ok well good info to know at least. Thanks. Have to quit mashing that button then but in the heat of battle that's kind of tough lol

Anyway I went in solo most of the night and man it was rough. Went from Onyx 3 to Onyx 1 and almost hit gold. I haven't quite figured out how I should be playing these new maps just yet. Finding myself out of position a good bit.

Chitown B · Jan 3, 2015

having weird glitches tonight. Playing Slayer and every end game stats shows my stats from my first game tonight. Also, I lost a game and got +15 points

Ya, I'm in a similar situation. I'm Onyx 1 right now but these new maps seem more confusing than the previous 2. Still getting used to them.

The one big problem I'm having is aiming. I'm typically a good Halo player but I suck with the BR and the DMR.... I Have my sensitivity to 3 right now. Any of the pros recommend me increase it and get more familiar with a higher number? Or would you guys say that this is personal preference?

What's the party trick? I usually have to quit out the game because it takes so long.

I don't know if it's still this way but in the Halo 3 days, a lot of high tier players would warm up on a higher sensitivity and then turn it down to their normal one. I think most pros are right around 3 too.

I play at an 8 Sensitivity. Most Pro players definitely play between 3 and 4. I know Walshy plays at 3, iGotUrPistola plays at 4. It all depends on what you find most comfortable and are able to hit most of your shots with.

DeadlyParasite · Jan 3, 2015

Pretty disappointing map selection, the only map that actually feels good and plays well is Truth. Every other map is a congested mess of walls and low lines of sight. I really hope there are some decent BTB maps in the final game because I'm not digging these.

It was a big issue with Reach and Halo 4, maps that don't flow with the game design, especially the asymmetrical ones.

RBK · Jan 3, 2015

If Remixed maps are taking place of crappy Forge maps, I'm all for it.

I personally think Eden and Regret are great maps. Cannot wait to see all of the maps and their remixed versions in the final game.

ChiefEdiri said:

Yeah, the remixing is great. Just enough differences to make them totally new, but still generally follow the same flow as their pair.

Meant to say that I suck with the BR and DMR in Halo 5. Do really well with them in the previous games.

And I agree, the aim assist did spoil me. I'm glad it's harder now.

It's good to hear that certain pros do play on 3 or 4 sensitivity... 10 feels like I'm having a seizure.

Breakout is alot of fun. Not really digging the SPARTAN LAUNCHER SHOOTER entrance but the mode is a great round based Swat.

Dynasty8 · Jan 3, 2015

The Matchmaking is a mess. Don't know if it's Xbox Live or 343 messing up with this and MCC. Yes, I understand it's a beta, but I specifically remember being able to connect flawlessly with the Reach Beta about 4 years ago.

I don't know why it's so difficult to join a game in 2015. It worked WAYYYYYY better 10 years ago....

This makes me not want to join a party/fire team because literally, about 60% of the time I get an error message. A party of 3 or 4 has to sit there for 10 mins or more in order to find a game.

mbmonk · Jan 3, 2015

I hope they bring numerical player ranking levels back. I feel like I am making no real progress by going from silver 1 to silver 2 etc.

I would prefer they do something like:
Iron level 1 - 3
Bronze levels 4 - 6
silver levels 7 - 10
Etc.

Well to be honest I wish it was a straight 1 - 50 level ranking system but they are probably committed to their current system.

PS: I got massive frame drops on Regret inside the starting bases. Makes aiming very tough.
