That cinematic was amazzzziiinnggg
Yes. Active roster, normal/classic looking player cards and emblems, flipping between maps, game types, it looks really smooth.

Cinematic was really well done. Loving the return of the active roster too, props for that.
I never play with mic anyway. What's the point of looking at my dead body?

With all these options wish we had a customs game playlist, where you could select the types of CGs and it would just automatically go through them in a session.
Also options for gametypes are fully laid out nicely which is what I'm REALLY happy about lol
Other people have already explained what I'm trying to say much better than I have.
Kill-cams bring nothing good to the Halo sandbox.

HaloGAF party voting power necessary confirmed.
If you can't tell how you died with the classic death cam, then you don't deserve to know.
Sometimes it's essentially impossible to know. Getting shot from 3 directions from people hiding behind a bunch of rocks?
Good luck.
They don't take anything away either.
Yeah they do... the death cam.
As long as the kill cam works as intended and isn't buggy like in halo 4, then I don't care. I do think the classic cam is fine, but I know I've yelled at my tv plenty of times about the lack of a kill cam.
A final kill cam in halo will be great. So much more epic since the BR is a beautiful weapon.

That's kind of the point. If a player killed you in such a way that you couldn't tell where or how you died, they deserve that advantage. No need to artificially take that away from them with a killcam.

I love the blood, death screams and sharp/shiny armor of Halo 1.
For the 5th or 6th time, what if it works like 4 where you can skip the killcam and watch your dead body?
I really like final kill cams, but yeah kill cams don't really take away from anything but it does negate "HOW THE FUCK DID THEY GET ME!" shouts in online matches. Though you do have the downside of you being exposed if you are hiding in BTB so it should be disabled there.
Was gonna chime in with this, but you got it covered. The death cam's just one of the countless ways of rewarding people for playing poorly that's gotten worse with each Halo game.
On another thing - there's seriously a medal for getting a single kill with rockets now? God what is the fucking point.

Please explain how spawning in front of enemies is a good thing
This was always my perspective. But I'm not gonna go to war over a killcam. There are bigger battles to fight.

Yes. They do. I prefer to have more information to tell my team, not less.
See, this I can get behind. Final kill cam is a cool idea. Every death takes away from your ability to communicate effectively up-to-date info to your teammates, though.

this.
You should really read CliffyB's thoughts on focus testing and how it ends up negatively impacting games because it ends up being things that neither the devs nor the player base at large want.

Pretty sure he said you can turn it off completely, too. So you won't even have to skip it? It just won't be there. Hoping that's how it works. They both have their own advantages, but I personally prefer death cam.

You're clearly looking at this from a totally different perspective. It's like you're being told 2 + 2 = 4 and you're like "but I was talking about subtraction!"
It's not, but when you're playing an 8 man Rockets FFA, it kind of comes with the territory. It happened in Halo 2 as well.
Halo CE had the best spawn system of the entire series because you and your teammates controlled it. If you were getting spawn trapped, you could get out of it; not so in Halo 2. I'm pretty sure the "designer" saying that Halo 2's spawn system was the unsung hero doesn't understand Halo CE's spawn system or it's implications for gameplay.
