Halo 5: Guardians Beta Thread | Hot Red on Blue Action

Do you see yourself go up and down instantly based on per-game wins? Or is a lot of the mechanics stored behind the scenes until the system decides you're ready to jump to the next division?

Not played enough to know the answer to that.

In all I've enjoyed what I have played so far. Really what Halo 4 should have been. It feels good to play. The amount of auto-aim is a bit lower than I would like for playing with a controller though.
 
Myself and a mate soloed out rankings and got broze and have been clearing up playing together as we were too of loosing sides.

Another mate joined us and we played the 10 placement matches with him and he got gold III not far of onyx, my other mate is livid ;)
 
Errr silly question but where do you see the rank in this?

Also what's the number below the skull represent?
 
So yesterday I played like 5 matches
drunk
with a terrible k/d. Today in my last match before I got into a division had a perfection. I got into bronze leage... (my friend who is way more terrible player got into gold). Story of my life. :D
 
I'm seeing a lot of people here wanting a 1-50 rank
What if they did like a two tier system
You get your division placement: bronze, semi, pro...
Then on top if that you get 1-50 for each division
So like bronze rank 25 , pro rank 35
 
I wanna report a bug.

You guys know the big hologram in truth right? Right above where the sword spawns. I noticed something.

Sooo... in 500 years we will discover a new planet in our own solar system. Inside the meteor barrier. Seriously, 343i doesn't even know how many planets there are in our solar systemer, how can they make a good game ?! I dont trust them... Pre - order canceled.

PS: and no, the inner circle is not the sun, because it has a spinning dot in it. I double checked it.

So, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars aaaand... Whos the new guy ?

j/k, not cancelling pre-order.

Ceres? The (dwarf) planet between Mars and Jupiter. That's even assuming the system is supposed to be our own.
 
Quick question: When i boot up the beta i get the logos, welcome message and when i press the menu button to begin the game gets stuck in a loading screen (bottom left of the screen shows a moving icon with the text "loading" next to it) Music plays normally so it didn't freeze. I was able to play fine when the beta opened.

Did anyone else encounter this and know a fix?
 
Went 1.6 in a team of two against a team of 4, lost 36/35 and still my performance went down 85 points. :lol

Also, 343, if you're reading this: if you insist on having a killcam, please make it optional. I want to see if my grenades explode and kill someone. And when I do want to see how someone killed me, having it start just half a second before it actually happens isn't very clear.
 
They should Kinect enable victory celebrations. Would be amazing being able to do your own.

Ever seen what the bottom of a Spartans boot looks like? Well BAMN there it is.

Online Kinect Sports 1 was entertaining for this very reason, lol. Hip thrusts and crotch chops were very common.
 
Yeha, saturn and jupiter are also clearly in there, look for yourself.

EDIT: Which, also... is placed wrong. They placed Saturn first instead of Jupiter.

I'm still not understanding how you're sure this is our solar system, how are you identifying Saturn and Jupiter
 
So I could be one of the best players in the world but because my friends who I play with are terrible, we always lose, so my rank would be awful.

This seems... Flawed, and if this is how they do the rankings it's just going to promote elitism,

"Hey dude want to play some slayer?"

"What's your k/d?"

"Oh it's 0.8"

"No thanks."

but maybe that's what they are going for.

Pretty sure I saw "Halo 5: it's all about winning" on the dashboard. Seems like that's what they're going for.
 
I'm going go go out on a limb and say that my first impressions of this are better than Halo 3, Halo Reach and Halo 4.
Now I'm not saying it's going to end up better than all/any of those games, I'm just saying that my first impressions of this are higher than my first impressions of those past Halo games (having played the Beta for all of them, 4 excluded).

I really hope they don't nerf the pistol before release. It's so good at the moment :)

There definitely seems to be an emphasis on winning and stupid shit like K/D ratios.

This has already happened with me and friends over DOTA2, I never took it as seriously as they did and so they all got a lot better, so after a while wanting to play with my friends became an issue. Perhaps there's more to the system then this first pre beta?
 
I honestly couldn't give a shit about ranks..

COD gets by with just an xp system, and so does a lot of other games. Its rank worriers that can ruin games. Quitting early and shit like that.

You act like not wanting someone with a 0.8K/D ratio in a competitive playlist is a bad thing
 
So whats the verdict so far. I'm guessing the real 29th beta will tell the story

IQ wise, a bit rough around the edges. The lack of AA and 720p makes it looks a bit ugly but its a beta. 60fps is delicious though.

Gameplay wise, its Halo for a new generation.
 
I believe the k/d stat is wrong. You would have to calculate it yourself. Also a negative kd isn't a thing, so that's how you can tell it's broken.

Yeah, it is a little ugly.. But this is a build that has probably been finished for a few months. I think that it will look great when released.

As for the gameplay.... Best halo yet IMO. I love it!

well, the planet scale sizes is pretty accurate. Saturn has a ring around it, so that identifies it.

That, with all the placements of the different iconic things about our solar system, with the probability of the system where the halo is located is nearly identical to our own system, makes it nearly impossible. That's why I
Assume that it's our own solar system.
