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

IMO so far the AR is a little too beastly, the pistol feels like an offspring of the halo 2 and 3 pistol, DMR and BR feel rather ugly in ADS, smg is a beast.

Thought BR was always a 4 shot weapon until H4.

Don't remember a 5 shot in H2.

it's 4 shot if every bullet in a burst hits, pretty sure you could do that with the balance update in halo 4 which made the weapon rather good at medium range, before the weapon balance update it was a 5 shot but I don't remember that much as the DMR was god tier.

I'm talking through my kibect. I hope it doesn't sound horrible.

It's not too bad. I swear I've used my pulse elite before. But now it's not cooperating. It's like the mic is permanently muted.

I mean, I REALLY want everyone to hear me yell God dammit every time I die.
 
in halo 4 you can 4 shot as long as the 12th pellet hits the head, I personally dislike it because it makes the kill times extremely quick over range, Halo 2 was 5 shot and halo 3 was all over the place :p

I personally prefer how it was in halo 2 but eh, got to evolve I guess.
Both halo 2 and 3 have 4 shot BRs, hate to break it to you.

Really as much as I hate to eat the crow to me it feels amazingly like Halo. I feel more like a spartan now then I have before. Matches are close and you don't feel like you got screwed when you die. The only thing I'm not digging is the sounds. They're pretty awful but the gameplay is phenomenal.

i mean with this type of low standard, it's no wonder devs can get away with so much

game isn't halo. game isn't good.

I'm really struggling with the controls.

I've been a Bumper Jumper user since Halo 3's launch.. But for Halo 5, I really like the ADS button to be on the LT, which moves the grenades to LB. That's the problems. So many times I go for a jump and end up tossing a grenade in my face.

I really don't understand why Halo still doesn't have custom controller layouts.
 
Anyone notice outside of gameplay elements everything is still 30fps? most noticible on empire with the shadows from passing ships and the lighting.

Both halo 2 and 3 have 4 shot BRs, hate to break it to you.

really? my only revisit to those games is in the MCC so who do I blame? kappa

Halo 2 MCC doesn't feel like 4 shot BR at all to me.

Just went 24-7 on empire. Finally getting a handle on things. Blue team sniper placement is OP though. You can pick up sniper and then immediately pick off red team going for theirs.

They've stared why that is in the past.
I like bumper jumper, but I'm not averse to the idea of having LT with zoom on it. I'd like a titanfall or destiny style bumper jumper scheme

Really?

You can't just disagree with him. No, you have to insult him and imply that the ills of the modern game industry are partially his fault.

Really? REALLY?

Edit: Even though I've only played a few matches so far, I'm liking it so far. Sure, I'm fighting the controls a bit, but that will come with time. Certainly feels better than Halo 4.

God. Just when I think I like this game I remember how broken the sword is.

i havent had much success with it yet. then again, i'm playing alone and just when i think my random teammates are actually sticking together and watching my back when i have it i find myself alone and surrounded by the entire other team...

BR starts are absolutely necessary in previous Halos with how weak the ARs and SMGs were in those games.

Love that in this game you can use a auto and not be penalized for doing so.
