There are no double jumps in Halo 5. You can only boost forward, backwards, and side-to-side. You can also utilize a hover ability while descending in the air.

Did you not play Reach or Halo 4? More tools for greater mobility is not new to Halo or 343.
But you do realize that these things have been in arena shooters for years right?

I started playing Halo when Halo 3 came out and haven't really enjoyed any of them as much as 3 since. I'm hoping I like this one more but that doesn't seem like it will be the case :/

I think it all looks glorious.
I switched Zoom In to left trigger on Halo 4 so its no skin off my penis.

Whether you're a Halo fan or not doesn't qualify you to state what is or isn't a Halo game. 343 decide what the fuck a Halo game is and that's that. If you don't like it, don't buy it. It's rather tiresome hearing people cry "that's not Halo". Get over it.
343 have done the ultimate fan service with MCC. Halo 'purists' can play that if they want classic Halo. I'm happy for 343 to mix it up a bit and if I don't like it I'll stick to MCC. No drama.

I have no dog in this fight if you like it I love it but again this is not what HALO was built upon. I have already stated that I think it looks fun and like a good time as I am also enjoying the hell out of CODAW it gives me a similar vibe. I have never liked HALO but will definitely be giving this one a try as it does not look like the standard HALO fare.
Noted.

that announcer is quite bad. I definitely would not want to play for long periods with that going off every few seconds.
otherwise, looks like good halo multiplayer. looking forward to it and now I have a reason to get an xbox one

Where are the medium and large maps? Small maps are fine, but variety has been a staple of the series.
cosigned.
There are 7 maps in the beta so I'm sure 1 or 2 will be large, vehicle supporting maps.

Shhh. Only small maps now. Only symmetry. Sleep.

the Halo 5 Beta looks hella dope. the ground pound looks nice too, that might be my go to powerup, that or clamber.
EDIT: is this how we enter multiplayer maps now??

I was never super big on halo versus multiplayer, but playing as Elites in reach was fun as hell (because of their quick evade move). It just felt right, like dodges in UT. And that's why I only ever tried to play invasion and elite slayer.
Having abilities like that as a standard thing seems fine to me, but I mean...a few rounds of halo 3 and a bunch of Reach invasion doesn't exactly make me the world's biggest competitive Halo player so what do I know.

I really hope this is how we enter literally every map now lol. I love that animation.
Also, all the Spartan Abilities are available to everyone all the time, so there's no picking and choosing
The first Halo MP i'am excited about, I have never been a halo MP guy, I've always been into COD MP. I can se a lot of COD fans jumping in on this (well more then the last halo's anyway).
Looks great visually for MP, has the smooth 60fps and the lighting looks great especially how it reacts to different materials.
Does anyone know if Single player is going to be 60fps as well?

I love these starts. Also I noticed they do the Destiny style team intro.
Hopefully I can Forge a new map and put the rolling start in.

The whole thing is supposed to be 60fps. And I am glad they have their priorities straight. You start with 60fps and work your way up with image resolution.
I honestly cannot wait for the Beta next month, going to be great!

That's what makes it great. Everyone had the ability. When to deploy, when to use is a very tactical choice. And each ability seems to have some downside.
I didn't mean to come off as defensive, was just curious where you were coming from.
It looks to me like its core combat is alive and well. You learn to use the right weapons in the right situation, manage your shield, and control the map/resources with your team mates. The armor abilities increase maneuverability and provide new ways to attack, but you're still going to have to be smart about when to use them because everyone always has the same abilities. Ultimately,and I think I'm quoting someone on GAF, it's still going to be about your skill to engage > reprieve > recharge > re-engage.

Actually, you don't have to choose. You get all the Spartan abilities, all the time.
And that's actually only how you enter the map during a specific mode and map type, AFAIK. Breakout. Looks fantastic.
Breakout looks pretty sweet. A 1 life to live game type is definitely welcome in Halo.

That is four, bottom right hand corner shows lives. In Breakout you only have one life, sounds like it could be fun. A bit of Gears of War in my Halo is never a bad thing
.After watching the b roll, I'm finding the Spartan chatter irksome. Saying things like "slice and dice" after getting a kill with the sword, or congratulating each other with "good kill" "clean kill" "nice kill". You'd expect that from regular marines or maybe even ODSTs, but not Spartans. Even the things they say at the beginning of the round. I get it's them training and all, but it seems almost childish.
If it is a feature that's remaining, I wonder if they'll add female voices too. I don't think I heard any, but the beta isn't even out yet.

Though it doesn't necessarily make the inclusion any better, the Spartan 4's are a lot more like ODSTS than old school Spartans so it makes sense. Hell, some of them are ex-ODST.
I wouldn't mind if they cut down on the chatter either.
Ah, that makes sense. I hope the dialogue is on the more serious side of things then. Can't wait to try it out though.

Halo has pretty much always had a 1 life to live gametype available through custom options.

So, I have to play this beta, which means I have to get an Xbox One along with MCC, correct? Which one of you smarties is gonna tell me the best and cheapest way to do that without waiting in line for black friday? Think Cyber Monday will have similar deals?
as someone who hates Crysis [especially for its art direction], i whole-heartedly disagree [though, i suppose i CAN see why people would make this comparison, argh]
really enjoying the art direction of what's been shown so far, very Halo, but highly evolved.
outside of Bungie's sky-boxes and picturesque vistas, i always found their graphics very underwhelming on the whole.
playing through Halo 3 last night in 1080p kind of rammed this home - moments of sheer beauty mixed with utter dog-pile [ie - walking out the jungle to a cliff showing a god damn painting of a landscape, then being pulled right out of the experience by Sarge's twelve polygon character model].
I heard Jeff Bezos has a company for people that don't like lines.

I believe there is some Kohls sale/deal going on where after all's said and done a kinect-less XB1 comes in at around $275usd.... i think there was a thread about it on here.

Every new gameplay mechanic is some shit that's already done in the plethora of FPSs we got this year.
MS's annoyingly safe and rote approach to the series after 343 took over continues to bug the hell out of me.

This is the exact opposite of safe for Halo.
This is so fucking far out there that I can barely believe people are actually being positive about it. I think it looks fantastic, but this is anything but safe.

Following the trend of every big-name FPS out there is the literal definition of safe.
At least, as far as MS's suits are concerned. H4's performance didn't suggest this approach to be a good idea, but it doesn't seem to have deterred them.
he did.
