Halo 5 has aim down sights.

What about Higuain?

Seems to be finding a bit of form with Napoli after a terrible start to the season. I'd be delighted to sign him, but at the moment he'd have much better clubs to join. Finishing 2nd last season doesn't mean shit for making transfers now, when we're languishing in midtable

It's stunning how badly they don't get what people want from Halo. Absolute stunning.

They see the whole community go HAM for MCC. They see all the old pros getting back into that game. It's all spelt out for them... and then they do this.

I'm starting to wonder if it will be a good idea to go shopping for players in the Jan. transfer window. Knowing how shit we've been playing, any new additions might make things worse.

Have to please the CoD masses, innit.

It's the breath of fresh air the franchise needed.

it's a breath of putrid farts which will kill a great franchise already on life support

Halo is the simplest formula and such mint fun

HOW HARD IS IT 343 TO MAKE A FUCKING HALO GAME

holy cum

they are worse than Bradford City
 
I don't get why that is controversial. It's a valuable feature for console games because it allows for more precise aiming than is normally allowed with a controller.

Its what made Halo different, that said we get to play it in just over a month and they will be showing proper gameplay of the Halo 5 beta tomorrow.

Im not a big player of Halo multiplayer, I like the campaigns mostly and I can see why people are annoyed, but it does seem slightly premature to be getting so mad when they're going to be talking about as soon as tomorrow and play it next month, as I said. Its not a Destiny like beta/demo, where it was far too late to change anything, its an actual beta for the purpose of feedback and time to change it (potentially up to 11 months if it launches next December)... admittedly it doesnt look good though

It fundamentally changes what people love about the way Halo plays

I can sort of see that, although I've played very little Halo myself. There's nothing saying that the weapon being used in the clip has a unique zoom feature, like some weapons do in Counter-Strike.
