5 out of the 7 or so I have watched lately are streaming at 720p 60fps, and you can tell when lag is a factor in something even at 30.
Most matches I have watched have been great for ping but there has been the odd one or two where things died after a delay or grenades appeared late, but it's been few and far between.
This could change a lot once all the public enter with their potato routers however.

That Halo 2 MCC Carbine tho. 60FPS makes that thing a god damn monster that no one expects.
I meam, it's not even out yet, just because a few people aren't using it don't mean it sucks lol, give it a bit.
Cause everyone I've seen use it destroys with it.

On that note, I love the blue lights on the Carbine.
Blue Covenant > Green Covenant
Blue Covenant > Green Covenant
Maybe they should allow players customize the colour to suit their preferences. :>

Interesting listening to some of the pros talking about Halo 5. One was saying it feels different than normal Halo, but also better as a shooter than normal Halo. AR + pistol gives the game a completely different feeling than starting with BR.
Best Halo since Halo 2.
I want to hear Jeff Steitzer's voice when I get to the pearly gates.

You know I'm not as crazy about Halo 2 as most of you were, lol. I enjoyed the beta more than any other small slice of Halo I've played though, it was really good.

Good utility spawns alone are a godsend.

I'd love to play some more, but since morning managed to play like 5 games and all were against pros like Ogre, Chig etc. It's like no one is playing the game or something is seriously broken... dunno.
It's like it's Saturday (press basically don't work on Saturday) and very few people are playing an as yet unreleased game.
It's also only 10am on the US west coast where the testers and staff who're "padding" are located.
Only certain number of people can play online atm. The online should unlock to the public on Monday/Tuesday.
Alright, better than H3 in every way. I compare it to H2 because that is the last time weapons / gameplay actually felt good. With that said, I fully expect people who started to play Halo with 3 to not like 5 right away.

Yea they said OG Rockets were in Warzone.
Any chance you can ease fears about Forge maps counting as DLC? The rumor is BTB maps will be Forge. I'm sure someone here made that up but I'm worried that it's one of those things that ends up being true anyway.

It's only a matter of time before they start putting it on map spawns instead of that SMAW model.
It's back, Madness can shut the fuck up now. ;P

Halo 2 started the downfall of Halo gameplay and Halo 3 made it worse. Reach added loadouts and removed Power-Ups, while Halo 4 was the final straw, uniting Halo fans on what's needed for future titles.
Halo 5 feels like the first sequel to CE that I'm not disappointed by core gameplay.

I agree. So far the base gameplay in this one stomps all over the last 5 Halo games.
I'm with you. Just wish its color scheme was more in line with the rest of the UNSC weaponry; black/grey/silver. Don't like the army green 'n yellow.
Glad the classic SPNKR is present as a Legendary though.

First time they've actually shown it.
Lets go ahead and get the inevitable movement to bring the classic to arena. Its just too awesome and iconic.

The sound design is amazing in this. I need to hear the warthog more though.
I don't think there are any.

The only reason I don't see it happening is because 343 wouldn't want players asking for the CE Pistol as a starting weapon ;]
Prove me wrong Stinkles.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Also, the pre-release message of the day lists the best times to match in the appropriate playlists.

Did they mention earlier this year that they removed the terminal velocity mechanic from Slide and Spartan Change? It's news to me but it's way better than the beta.
This game feels so fucking good.

Overall the UI feels funtional, yet a bit soulless
I will take functional after 4/MCC

I see plenty of players picking up BR and DMRs for mid-long range engagement and keeping the pistol as a replacement close quarters weapon.
Each one has a unique challenge attached to it that rewards extra XP if you complete the challenge during the match.
The one I know off the top of my head is for assists. Basically, you activate it for a match and get bonus XP for finishing in the top 50% for Assists. It also says you can get extra bonus XP for finishing closer to the top.

It gives a bigger reward, with conditions. Spartan Kills (the one I saw anyway) gives you a big XP boost but only if you're in the top 50% in terms of spartan kills.
