Kill cams are busted.
Frankie said they're the most beta thing about the beta apparently.

Thought as much, though i'm sure something was up, lag maybe. When i did manage to kill him he was dying a good few seconds after the final bullet connected.

Noticed this also, chalked it up to people are inconsiderate jerks.
Probably hoping to get on good teams and get boosted rank.
As I said before, cannot wait for FFA in the proper game. Less people i have to rely on the better

There's just too much damn grenade spam. Makes playing on Truth a major drag.
I know it won't happen but one grenade on spawn is like my number one wish right now.

I love hearing that especially how hard it is to aim at someone mid range now.
Yeah this sucks. My first ever halo mp game since the original 2 and I was mvp. Then bottom for next 3 games as took over a clip to kill someone.

Just some lag plus not the most amazing shot, but really that should've been enough to put him down I thought.
Then this happened which I'm not really sure what it was. Just missed maybe? Couldn't really tell but it seemed like I hit him. Strange.

I have had connected but no damage charges too, I think it's latency for the other player so the damage is void because it doesn't register.
As for your first gif I had this shoot out last night, same thing.

What's the consensus on this?
After a few games, I kinda like it! The boost feature is awesome for dodging

Seriously? I never use the AR or the SMG, so I've never really noticed, but if true, that's horrible. Headshot bonuses on autos is ridiculous, that shit has no place in Halo.
God, I hope you're right.

I have had similar experiences too! It makes me unsure on what guns are valid / how to properly utilize them during gun battles

Watching a stream on twitch, on truth there are two areas you can climb up which are usually out of range but using a ground pound you can gain a little extra height as it charges to grab the ledge, rather cool stuff.
It's like trick jumping, a little bit.

the game's grown on me now that i'm used to the controls. it's really just the vibration that's a constant annoyance but i'm managing for the time being.
i like the AR but i still don't like AR starts. none of my matches against good players have been anything short of spawn killing, especially on Empire where it's very easy to watch the spawns. So I still don't like that map either.
I like Truth though. Running around in a pack with your team gives it a very "next-gen" feeling. It's hard to explain but it feels like one of those random squad-like arena shooters, so i'm enjoying the novelty.
I think it has potential, the obvious balance issues aside. Buffing the zoom on the pistol is the first thing I'd do at this point. AR headshot bonus could be toned down too; seems to kill as soon as you lose shields, which is fairly quick in this game. The Sniper zoom is also horrendous. They need to do something to make that more intuitive.
It's a better effort than Halo 4 as far as gameplay goes. Hopefully the maps are good, but I'm not expecting much with Sprint in the game.

I feel you brotha. is this running on dedicated servers yet? Had one match which was absolutely lag free and it was phenomenal. We were all Australian thought which led me to believe it's still P2P

Never gets old. Best new medal.
Nope, I just got to work.

matchmaking is not finding anyone for me, guess the UK player count is rather empty right now.
YES I hate that you can't do that. One of the biggest small details I really want to see get fixedI really wish you could sprint to break zoom. It bothers me immensely that I can't. Also, isn't it confirmed your grenades despawn when you're killed? So no from the grave kills should necessarily happen.

Oh something I noticed a few times yesterday, you can shoot grenades on the ground to blow them up, even shoot grenades out of the air if you are lucky.
I'm really glad there's at least the booster to help avoid it.
Yup. Noticed this when a guy shot one out of my hand for the kill...

This 100% once you get the trick down to boosting out of the spam zone you will start to wreck as most spammers will throw 2 and leave themselves wide open for br/dmr kill
Snap Xbox party, make a party and scroll to the bottom where it says leave multiplayer.

Not finding a single UK match, this is a good thing I suppose because I don't want overseas host and a non enjoyable high ping.
Got one with no lag. Went 22-3

same here lol, now i'm just waiting for the new maps.
THANK YOU!!!!!!
Been on for the last 3 hours with two other UK friends and we have been finding matches constantly. Don't think all have been UK servers though, been shot around a few corners.

Yeah I got a match with no lag.....ONCE!! I went 16-4 but every other game I'm struggling to get above 0.7 with this lag ripping me an absolute new one.

Wouldn't it be crazy if you could read what each medal meant in game? Like after the game even?
All the old Halos had that feature. I should probably let Halo get modernized though. We don't need explanations just praise.
Had some fun games with Shadowfells, Frank (Deadpool) and Vlaud last night. My performance was garbage though. We were having issues with the party system and in-game chat. Frank was having some lag issues/black out screens as well during a few matches.
When it worked though, it was a lot of fun. Just wish I played better for my fellow Gaffers lol

you are playing an awful lot between posting how much you hate the experience you're having
this should go without saying, but you are playing a beta 11 months out from launch. its specifically to test out multiplayer and balance and is not remotely feature complete.

I actually died because an enemy shot my plasma grenade just a split second after i threw it. It blew up right in my face
Anyone else running into issues today where enemies just won't die? My connection and ping everywhere else is great, but I can get hitmarkers with the assault rifle and almost empty an entire clip into a dude and they don't die, then they pull a reversal after they ran away and I start shooting them again.
Made me rage quit 3 times today.

Same thing happened to me but it credited my death as a suicide instead.

Recon is so close to a perfect control scheme. I only wish we could move Sprint to LB.

Just finally played. Here are my initial thoughts:
Pro's:
The game moves well meaning its silky smooth
The gameplay is there meaning a tweak here or there is all you need
Con's:
Get that ADS out of there. It's distracting and it's total ADS. I don't care what they say, there is without a doubt an advantage to being scoped in. at minimum, give us a classic zoom.
It's a little "heavy" - for a game built on movement it feels slow unless you are sprinting. Bump the base player movement up
The jump is to low, it's not Reach low but it should be at least Halo 4 high if that makes sense.
After a few more games, Fuck that sword buff. You already have sprint and thrusters. You dont need the guy to have infection type speed. Strafe is slow which is nothing new. I hope they bump it. I also cannot tell the non weapons by sight, these maps are to hazy. What is their obsession with haze? Obviously the AR needs a nerf, its almost SAW like power. From mid range a BR should be able to take an AR player out but the AR has too much range.
The BR does not feel like the BR anymore, its not familiar. The scope on the BR and DMR is too slow when switching. JUST REMOVE THIS ADS, nobody likes it.
Last, get rid of that spartan charge. Its cheap. At least implement some kind of melee parry.
