Just realised it puts the location name above the radar...
That's a nice touch.

Yep. Incredibly hard to kill anyone though. Better for a quick escape.
I hope they give the option for custom controls. I want to switch some things around.
As for the beta it's okay. They need to tweak some things. Smg and ar are way too powerful. BR doesn't feel right. Also grenade throwing is weird. It's like this little sissy toss. Its terrible
Spawns in Truth are bad. TTK is way too short. Not a fan
Clambering has to go. Constantly getting flanked and killed from behind with it.

The place where you edit your Spartan is very dark, that's weird.
Agreed.
Fishstick. I couldn't go back to default halo button layouts after the layover that was Halo 4.

I wish they would trash this point ranking system and just bring back experience points from Halo 3. So much simpler, yet it discouraged people from leaving games knowing they would forfeit an EXP point.

Yeah, you can really tell this is a very early beta. Lacks a ton of polish- but it has a ton of potential.
Played two matches, one on each map. I'm adjusting to the new abilities and controls but it's quite fun.
My favorite new addition is the team chatter stuff. They call out enemy positions, power weapon respawns, and even stuff like "watch the nade spam" which has been helpful. So even if nobody on your team is using their mic or whatever, you still feel like there's great communication going on and know everything that's happening around you. More games should do this.

Yep it's Halo.
In what Halo can you damage someone with the AR from that distance?

Team chat got such unbridled hatred here before anyone even tried it out. I don't get it personally. Anyway, now that I've experienced it, I can say that it's actually great. Love that it has filled the gap of online silence which most games are plagued by now. I hated playing MCC and not having people call out weapons and/or positions.

Haha how weird mine was right near there. It would have been an Overkill too but I messed up killing the last dude.
Had fun so far tonight, can't wait to play some more. Gimme more maps though yo!
Who says I did damage them? Two other people were also shooting.

Enjoying the beta as well. The graphics look no different than Halo 4 though. I was expecting better.

You get the halo 5 codes messaged to you? I just got in to the preview program today as well from an invite yesterday and was curious

I say this as somebody who went in as neutral as I could be. Immediate first impression: I fucking hate it. It's amazingly tone deaf of 343 to, knowing that at least a portion of their fanbase is concerned about this, make the default controls Call of Duty. Yeah way to win em over on that ADS introduction, 343 - move it from right stick.
Anyway, right now I think it sucks. ADS absolutely is Call of Duty style, the damn DMR scope takes up like 3/4 of the screen. I'm already tired of the Spartans call outs, and their high giving at the end is just like...god, all they need is cans of Mt. Dew.

Is it just me or does it have a severe delay of sorts betwern trigger pull and fire. Maybe not severe but like.. it doesn't feel smooth.
