They are. In team slayer I end up being on a team of three because someone always leaves. Why not just replace the player instead of leaving the team handicapped?

This is one thing i don't understand with the current system. I do absolutely love not getting thrown into a match halfway over.... but equally dislike having a player leave and nobody taking his/her place. There's got to be some in between way.
 
Played a little multiplayer last night, and as someone who has always liked but never quite loved Halo, I was incredibly impressed.

Feels great to me. It still feels very much like Halo, but I think the new additions and tweaks to the gameplay set it apart as something much more functional and exciting to play.

Really impressed by Warzone as well, although I'm not entirely sure how it all works yet. My team won and I was the fourth highest scoring player, but other than racking up some kills and contributing to killing the boss characters, I wasn't sure how or why I was contributing as such.
 
How is it possible i matchmake against US people when i am from the EU in the middle of the day? You dont connect to a datacenter close by?
 
Just finished the campaign on Heroic. Holy fuck that was amazing. They leave the story in such an interesting place, can't wait to see how it continues. How anyone could say this is the worst Halo campaign is beyond me, it's such a well paced campaign with so many cool encounters.

In every encounter they give you the tools to make it easier but you do have to look for them. It's not at every entrance to a combat zone that you get some weapons where there is almost a message popping up, use these to complete the next area. Really love the Spartan movement abilities.

There are some issues of course, I mean the friendly AI does have it's limitations but once you know those limitations you can still get some great utility out of them. The promotheans are much, much more fun to fight this time around, feel so good to just kill those knights and see them evaporate.

Overall the campaign was just a joy to play though. Absolutely love one of the new characters they introduce later on. Really great work by 343, cannot wait to see where they take it for the final chapter in the trilogy!
 
Got to midway through Chapter 5. To me, the campaign feels like a mix of Halo 2 and 4. I'm really enjoying it so far. The larger play spaces are awesome. I think so far, I'm enjoying this 5th Chapter the most (regarding level design). Really interested to see where this story goes.

I'm trying to take my time and enjoy the campaign before diving into MP, but all these impressions in this thread are making me want to jump in and see what warzone is all about.

So far the Campaign is off to a good start, although a couple of little niggles [End of chapter 1]
Annoyed that Jul was taken out in a cutscene and I couldn't take him on properly. At least it wasn't a QTE though.

[End of Chapter 1]
Yes, I agree. I've read 2 of the 3 books in the Kilo 5 trilogy (soon to start the 3rd), and would've liked that scene expanded on a bit more, perhaps even a boss fight similar to the end of Halo 2.

System level button remapping that's coming with NXOE.

I tried that myself, the only issue is that the on screen prompts don't change. You should also be able to set it for specific games as every game would have those new mapped buttons.

Wait... they dont!? Bummer... i was wondering about that.

Anybody wanna help me get into the preview program real quick so i can test this stuff out before potentially dropping $150 on a new Elite controller? Pretty please!? lol
 
I got to play a round of Warzone last night. I liked it. It was a little disorientating at first but I'm going to chalk that up to joining a match in progress.
 
I feel that arena maps have no flow to them and there a million doors and windows. Getting map control with randoms is nearly impossible. Doesn't help that the radar isn't helpful until an assassination is happening.

Speaking of assassination, I got the that stance and it says it's ultra rare. Is that really the case?

Yeah, in my case, I use bumper jumper, and wanted to put sprint on LS-click, and have A be crouch. Having to navigate even the basic OS with LS-click as A was too much to bear, though.

Ranking put me in Diamond on break out, and I know I'm not diamond. This has made breakout incredibly frustrating.
Click to expand...

While I think I sometimes play well enough at Diamond rank, I think I'm not quite there yet. Problem for me is, I played just before release for some of my placements with an early copy so my matchmaking was skewed with nbad press folks probably.

I reckon after a few weeks I'll adjust and get gud.
 
I think I'm in love with the mp. This is my first Halo since the original. Played the beta, loved it so I knew the hype was real for this. I am having some trouble with the controls though. I am using the default setup and when I get into a firefight, I sometimes crouch during the firefight because crouch is set to the right joystick. I tried other configurations but the other ones are no better as they link smartlink/zoom to the right joystick. Getting in a firefight with the AR and zooming in by mistake in the middle of the fight is not a good look. Even worse than crouching. Anyone have a fix for this?

I use fishsticks control scheme to prevent this... or helijumper. Left trigger ADS. Both aren't perfect though. Fishsticks really needs thurst and jump switched.

None of the controls are optimal and it seems like paddles are necessary. Can't wait to try out my Elite controller.

If you want to see what absolute garbage AI looks like then play this game solo with the AI teammates. Get used to marking every single enemy you want them to shoot cause they can be standing in front of an enemy and just not fire at him.

And if you want to see some real funny shit do the Warden fights on Legendary.

I think the answer is that you probably are going to have to live with it until the NXOE is released. It will have a button mapping feature so you can change to how you like it.

Yea, I guess a lot of others are waiting for this as well. Thanks for the answer guys.

They really aren't are they!? This is the type of stuff that 343 really needs to leave to us. Give us the in-game ability to re-map and not have to mess with stuff on the system level with this new remap thing.

Honestly, i think i'd be perfect with Fishsticks having the left bumper thrust and A-button jump switched... so it's a "better" bumper jumper. Ugh have to wait until Nov 12 :(. Somebody save me

The only thing is trying to ADS with the stick is screwing me up. Just doesn't feel fast enough, like there is a delay or something.
Click to expand...

I have noticed a weird delay when scoping in but it seems to vary from weapon to weapon. I have an elite controller so I've mapped scope in to one of the paddles. Didn't help the delay but it is more convenient in general. Makes it easier to use stabilizers.

Words can't describe how much I hate Regret. Other MP maps seem to be ok so far.
Click to expand...

Have to agree with you there. Was also the worst, by far, in the Beta. It's just a jumbled mess with claustrophobic pathways and no lines of sight. I find myself sticking to the perimeter because of that... it's meh-tier.
 
Chiming in as a Halo 4 MP cynic - I only play for multiplayer though, SP doesn't interest me. The moment to moment gameplay has been massively improved. The minute I picked it up and was able to find power weapons on the map, shoot people out of scope, pick up grenades off of corpses and not be plagued by instant respawns - this feels right.

Lack of splitscreen online is a huge disappointment but that alone did t save Halo 4 for me. Put in a good 7-8 hours last night exclusively multiplayer and I really had a blast. Bought an Xbox for this game, and I can see myself putting a lot of time into it.

I am waiting for BTB though. War zone is not my thing.

Turn off toggle crouch. I assume you have this on and are getting stuck in crouch because otherwise having crouch on the right thumb stick is ideal IMO.

Throwing a little crouch in during firefights is nice for causing a few missed head shots :) it's just the getting stuck part that is shitty.
 
Loving the Elite controller so far, but...

For Halo 5, I remapped the face buttons to the four paddles.

On the default control scheme in game:
Jump with top right
Thruster to top left
Reload to bottom right
Switch Weapon to bottom left

Muscle memory from 15 years of Halo is making the transition difficult.

They are not elegant at all and I think 343 made them too convoluted. Destiny has spoiled me with how the game controls. When I am playing H5, I noticed it takes me about .5 seconds to think about which button to press and that can really hurt.
 
Finished the campaign last night in one (two) sittings. Excellent stuff though I felt it shorter than the others. Locke was a very good character and I even liked the story. Never expected that to happen.

Great game so far, kudos to 343.
 
Does the default scheme still have that dumb scope-in advantage from the beta or did they decide to fix that?

If it is still in I might have to use default then remap.

I'm right at home on Silver Tier 1. Is that the lowest tier, because I should probably be in the lowest tier.

Bronze is i think

Your 2nd lowest

While warzone is cool
I still miss my BTB, i like being a little more competitive in that sense, with classic modes, TS,CTF,BOMB

I'm right there with you! People are complaining about not getting onyx or whatever..... Hell no. You guys are too good. I tried to play a round of SWAT and went 4-13. Silver 1 on breakout is a good start for me.
 
Been playing a lot of Destiny, so I swapped to Fishstick controls, man it is hard getting used to melee on RS. I keep throwing grenades when I'm trying to do a beatdown.

IF by scope-in advantage you mean slight narrowing to bullet spread? Then yes. That's a intentional and in the retail copy.

You're a freaking genius! :) I never looked for that option to toggle crouch off in the menu. I will change that to off and my problem will be fixed. Thanks man.
 
yeah everything has moved up by 1, so gold in the beta is now diamond, and semi pro from the beta is onyx (without the number rank) I think, seems to be roughtly that.

forgot about platinum
