Hmm, IMO the sound mixing is pretty good. Player voices drown out the Spartan chatter so I never really have any conflicts. I can see why it would be an issue for some though.

I saw people sprinting and groundpounding. THAT'S NOT TRUE HALO!!111!11!

It totally didn't feel like Halo. I thought I was playing COD Hardline.
That's the advantage provided by that particular vehicle... It's just like using a power weapon under the right circumstances.
Best not to take them on 1v1 unless you lure them into a tight space.

I Mentioned this game a few days ago and found out my brother recorded on his account. 36 to 49 come back to win team slayer on Truth. http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/CTownSnipesYIDB/video/13038418

Daaaaaaamn...
Impressive. I think the most I've seen a 49 - x comeback was about six kills in Halo 4. The feeling you get when you successfully band up for the clutch kills and saves at the end is pretty great.
Pretty epic
IMO vehicle fights are pretty miserable now. It doesn't feel rewarding to shoot a vehicle with a regular weapon and kill it. It doesn't feel fair when I'm killed by a vehicle(the Warthog turret is the lone exception). It doesn't feel good to kill with a vehicle. It doesn't feel good dying by bullet fire when I'm in one. The vehicle health model since Reach has been garbage.
How do you create a video clip with more than 30 seconds?
Damn that is insane. I would have choked so hard in that sitatuation, well played! :|

Wrecked. Seemed like a lot of his pistol shots were registering even when they looked off target. Weird.
Wow, the other team must have so much salt.
Seriously. One situation he was shooting at the air with the guy behind cover and he still registered two shots.
This was happening to me last night a couple games. Multiple times where I just thought: "No way should I have hit that shot".
Seems like I'll shoot a guy in the waist sometimes and get a headshot...

I know what you mean, Halo 5 is just a clone of TitanDuty: The Taken King. Sprint and such.
Yep agreed on every point Karl. vehicular combat is very weird in Halo 5, I didn't like Reach' and 4's either but they were better than this.
Especially as a gunner on a Warthog, you die way too fast it is like the autoaim for others is highly increased against gunners.
Holy shitballs I've expierenced stuff like this back in Halo3 and it was always amazing
Sometimes it is only a theater issue
Likely a combination of theater inaccuracy and the real effect of enhanced bullet magnetism. The bullet magnetism is also part of why it is so easy to kill gunners. You can wildly sweep your BRs reticle as they go by and get an easy headshot.
Not sure of a solution though, maybe they can tone it down a bit but the game is already hard enough as it is I think. If they could tone magnetism down on just the BR that could help or maybe make only the gunner less of a "magnet".
Clips recorded from theatre are super inaccurate and shouldn't ever be looked at as representative of in-game play. Unless your recordings are DVR'd from the moment they happened.
I hope they can fix the weird delay/offset though. Clips and montages look really odd when they have been grabbed from Theatre. It makes it look like the game has ridiculous bullet magnetism :L

Wow! Never delete that.
Not in terms of showing where you were aiming. Aiming is asynchronous, and what the host knows is delayed and imprecise. The host doesn't simulate your gun firing in the direction it thinks you're facing, it receives data about where your Xbox says you shot and at most checks if that's roughly plausible.
It's not much different from looking at replays in any other Halo game, and looking from the point of view of players other than the person who saved that replay file.

Actually that is a bug in theater mode. Spec and theater mode are very bad. They show you missing when you are not.
You have to snap the Xbox DVR and change it to record for 5 minutes.

Difference between ranks I think. As an Onyx matching against Onyx/Champions, they will rek shit if your teammates run straight over and over after respawning. You can follow your teammates all you want, but if they are oblivious to higher level play, then you will get steamrolled and there's little you can do about it except wait for the inevitable loss.
It's an impossible situation many times as you're left laughing/raging to yourself, "There is nothing I can do about this. No one's talking, no one's timing, no one's coordinating attacks, no positions being held.."

I'm on mission 14. Fighting the three wardens. 4 Focus turrets spawn when two are dead. Who thought this was a good idea???

It's not a bug, just a fundamental feature of how they've implemented it and the limitations of non-zero ping. This way every player gets the same clip at the end, the alternative is that you get exactly what you saw during the game but every player has a different clip.

Im not at that level yet, I may never get there but I would think that if someone could make there way to Onyx level they would at least have some idea how to use there teammates to help them.
Have to tell you, that I played with 2 other of my friends, and that was by far the most frustrating part of the game.
You mean how it actually was for 8 years now? I'd rather take that, than this dumb system. Theater has become so worthless:
-Can't take clips, because it's displaying stuff that didn't actually happen...
-Can't take screenshots (Halo 3 rendered screenshots in like 4K and made them 1080p). Xbox One Screenshots look like poop.
-Can't load up Campaign videos.
I don't understand why they can't improve these things, instead of downgrading them. You wouldn't even be able to share them, because there is no File Share yet. This is pretty sad...

Holy shit, has anyone seen this yet? I just seen it, the concept UI looks (in my opinion) significantly better then what is currently in Halo 5. Not that I think Halo 5's UI is bad but I don't think it is nearly as good as the concept UI. It just looks so good.

They should just record it locally as they always did, and add an option in to download the server version. The server version is cool if you want to watch it without having a specific point of view, but it means that you can't ever go back and rewatch anything with precision (snipes/headshots etc).
Theater just keeps getting worse, did MCC ever get an option to even save movies? :/

Was part of the losing team in a warzone game last night which lost 1000-43
The other team were so damn good, coverage and communication was perfect.
Our team either ran straight at the nearest base on their own or tried to take out a boss when our core was vulnerable... Must be the lowest warzone score yet!

Looks good but those are just photoshop mock ups. I imagine the UI is going to evolve over time.
I got ridiculous lucky on that warden battle on heroic difficulty and managed to beat it, but it took dozens of tries. There should be incineration cannon ammo somewhere in the area you are fighting the wardens in which should help take down the wardens. I used an incineration cannon to take out the first two wardens, but I don't remember what I did to take out the last one.
Yup, I posted them a day or two back, they are indeed purty.
Me, hysterically: "Someone grab the caster and shoot it into the fucking tower!!!!"

I see people drive them around on the first wave of Assault just being a jackass, but it actually causes the other team to be idiots and chase a Scout Hog while you mop them up. There's really no point to them.

Scout warthogs only seem useful for me for a HALO MMO.
rent Warthog for 15 minutes . 6000 RP
rent Scout Warthog for 15 minutes 1000 RP
and then isntances would allow wraiths and scorpions depending on which faction you were helping.

Halo 3 screenshots were unfortunately compressed to tiny jpegs, even if the source render was great.
Now that we've got a console with built-in png capture, Halo doesn't have screenshot mode. :/
That's pretty much their intended purpose.
That was amazing
Scout warthogs can actually wreck uncoordinated teams if you just go on a splatter frenzy. My vehicle-fu is weak tho so unless I'm trying to sprint across the map without wasting REQ energy I usually sell them off.
They seem useless at first glance, but they cause quite a distraction for some reason... And an Assualt gunner in the passenger seat can do serious damage.
This only applies to the ONI variant ofcourse

Looks like juices picked up the caster, so you had to know the chance of a sensible action was slim.
Yeah they are great for whizzing past the team and having 5 guys turn and go after it, just would love it if you could have 3 guys in the back, get people from A to B really quickly, would really make for a fun team element.
I don't know how people buy bronze packs until they get all their unlocks, so many packs with nothing permanent in them, I can't bring myself to wasting any more points on em :<
