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

Hell yeah. Everyone should be asking for it as well. Alot of people are moaning about the lag (even US players), but the conversation ends there. Its disappointing. I wonder just how many people have played titanfall? The datacenter selection is awesome

Halo 5 is amazing on home turf though... Truely!

Anyway, it's going to be a long 10 months until the full game gets released!

You'd think everyone would be asking for it, but in that survey I'm conducting it only got 56 votes out of the 192 responses so far.

LInk to survey for anyone that wants to vote : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10fjcRMCNlruk4JH0u7D0SBgvw_Cp4O1xc8b4uybyhFw/viewform
 
Just hit 24 hours playing this, whoa. I played this beta more than I did MCC or H4.

i'm sure this is a VERY early look at forge, but i'm a bit disappointed it seems to be a new version of traditional forging, that is its more of the same. was hoping for terrain sculpting.


also, the breakout maps were previously confirmed as forge creations right? i wonder if we'll have the option for the blue grid look or if that will be something unique to that forge space? will that forge space be limited to breakout? will breakout be limited to that look?

Believe me, I know whats Halo since 2001.

Whats not a skill? Learning what to do in 1 vs 2 and actually beat them is called skill

When its a team mode of course every man for himself isn't Halo, but there's a mode that says every man for himself

You wanna tell me that one cant simply gain skill while playing in that mode? I am so sorry but thats rubbish.

Gaining skill isn't only gained from Team-play, at the end skill is individual.

The real question is: Where's the skill in Team Shooting?

it's not 1 v 2 in lone wolves. It's 1 v 7. I can take on 1 v 1 just fine, but when it's 1 v 4 or 5 it's not a fair fight. That or you're camping. Sure they'll be shooting other people but as soon as you're shooting them, they're shooting you and someone else is too, or a third guy across the map as well. "i know what is Halo since 2001" too.

If you get donged on anytime someone challenges you, it'd be a good idea. It's like any team sport where you have to be good for the entire team to be great.

Donged on?

I am fine in vs. I'm just saying I don't like 4 guys shooting at me without ever having a teammate helping. It's not what made Halo good.

Plus the reverse is also true - does it make you "good" to go in and kill steal when two people are duking it out? Or just lucky?

This is by far my biggest issue playing solo. No one is cleaning up kills, and would rather wait by the power weapon spawn when there's still 30 seconds to go.
 
I swear, these connection errors are getting way out of hand. What will it take to get this fixed? I don't even want to party up with friends cause we spend more time in the lobby getting disconnected than actually playing.

And yes, I already did a hard reset... I average one per day.

Total nonsense. I wonder do people actually believe what they post or just trying to be antagonistic?

FFA is an entirely different beast with its own unique skill sets. This is why FFA kids used to consistently beat established 4v4 pros at Halo 2 events.

Yeah, I wish the Spartans would call out one-shots more often so at least people know there's damaged enemies nearby.

Also, teammates most of the time just suck. :( It's very rare that I'll encounter someone who at least goes positive. When I do, I usually invite them to my lobby so at least I know I have one decent person on my team.
 
They both look meh to me, but Pegasus looks to be the funner of the two. A bigger, more open map would be a refreshing change of pace from what we currently have.
 
Happy with this, played a ton of halo 2 and 3 on Live, not a lot of 4 as it didn't seem to have a soul. I let my gold lapse because I never played anything online anymore. I used a two day code from sunset overdrive to play. 343 seems to finally understand what makes Halo, Halo. Day one was never in doubt but I will have to get my gold account restarted with this. I smiled while playing this.

Welcome aboard, brother.
 
What sensitivity is everyone playing on? I just can't seem to find a good one. Either I overshooting while aiming. Or I'm to slow to react to their movement.

I finally accepted that if I have to pull a 180 to try and see who's shooting me, I'm already dead. Rocking a 2, and usually I'm a 7 player. Even 2 seems a bit too fast.

I play on an 8 Sensitivity. I did have 50.9% hit accuracy with the BR but the laggy games I have had the past couple of nights ensured me of dropping to 49% hit accuracy.

Without locking on, it's trash. Aside from the opportunity to try a new weapon, I instantly felt regret voting for it on Halo Channel.

It seems like a slower but more powerful (per shot) brute shot when not using smart scope. It probably works better for closer quarter maps than Eden, which makes me wonder why it's the power weapon for that map.
 
Is anyone else experiencing a really bad connection to Microsoft's servers tonight? I have tried playing two separate times and both times it appears I'm skating around and am well behind the other players. It looks like I die after 3 shots, not 4, and kill cams are borderline hilarious. I popped in Titanfall and even though I had 14ms connection to the US East Datacenters, I couldn't run in a straight line with getting sent back a couple a paces for very long.

Yes, I had to stop earlier. Halo was laggy as shit and when I played Titanfall while I was installing Dead Rising 3, I was rubberbanding all over the place. This was at like 3pm-ish east coast.
 
3rd match and I feel like a frazzled old man. My first instinct was to think "fuck them! This isn't halo!" As someone who really liked 4's multiplayer this seems like a real departure from the formula. I just had a match where I went 18-10 and I'm liking it better now. The maps are boring, and the hydra seems to be garbage. The pieces seem to be in place, it feels like halo kinda, just faster and weird. ADS is the strangest thing but it almost feels natural because it's in every game now. Need to play more, and think more on this.
 
Once again, within 2 minutes of the game start there is zero point playing because of how incredibly bad my team is...

Not even this could carry these kids...

Using my Kontrol Freeks I have it on 10 but it honestly still feels too slow but without the KF's I have it set to 8.

Having said that, 99% of the time it makes SFA difference because my games are lag ridden and no amount of sensitivity can fix that!!

Bad mates bad mates, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they put'em with you.
 
Cross post from the HaloGAF thread:
343 should consider scrapping the playlist model or rework it.

Do playlists for ranked play
slayer
objective
ffa
bigger teams

Social lists are scrapped for a server browser/custom browser/game finder

Ranked lists would have BR starts and for social it could be set at will.


This would probably costs lot of resources but it is the best thing to do.

Is anyone else getting laggy games more often today and a bit of last night? It's not always that bad but the past few games for me have been horrendous. Dying from what appears to be one-shot from a BR, grenades coming out a second or more late, head shots not registering, weird delay before dying, etc.

It is very very frustrating. This lag combined with the new spartan movement abilities can make people very hard to kill.

Edit: Xbox One says I'm getting 100% packet loss.. That can't be possible because I am getting into matches and lag isn't THAT bad. Maybe they are receiving a ddos attack. Website says services are limited but doesn't mention online MP specifically.
