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

Has anyone other than media outlets/popular halo players even gotten one yet? I bet they'll send mine right around/after the beta starts.
Haven't heard anyone say that they've got their codes yet.

Edit:
Every "plunk" I hear makes me happy for a few seconds, till I realize it's not the plunk I'm waiting for.
 
The high-fives and general jubilation from the spartans after the game concludes is genuinely some of the lamest shit I've ever seen.
 
It won't. This game is a year out. I'm suprised it is 720p at this time.

Resolution is not a priority till later in development. To keep the game at a high frame rate while so far out from release makes it no surprise that it's only 720p.

If you're only hear to complain about how Halo 5 isn't exactly the same game as older Halos you might as well go create a new thread, I already see the concern trolling starting.

Just got a message from Xbox Live, wish me luck.
 
Just watched one match via stream.

Looks sublime, and I did not think I'd be saying that.

Audio is sensational, from effects to callouts.
 
I am liking the streams. Have only ever played Halo 3 multiplayer which I did not enjoy, but this has piqued my interest alot.
 
I'd really like my code now. Please. It would make me very happy.

e: and just like that I get my code! Thank you based master chief.
 
Been watching some twitch feeds of the game and it actually doesn't look that bad. As someone pointed out the DMR zoom is a little excessive but otherwise everything mechanics-wise seems solid.
 
Just received mine (UK). 10 hours after the original "you're in" message, so guess the 24 hour part doesn't ring true.
 
I think it's looking pretty great, just from watching streams. I don't really mind the additions, and it seems like halo, again just from watching.

In 10 days (long days! So mad I didn't get in the preview program when I had the chance!) I'll find out! Can't wait.
