343 should probably just copy Bungie and use Destiny as a design concept for Halo 5.
But they do suck. How hard is it to jump? Press the button.

Halo |OT 20| It really does feel like Halo

FTFY
Gonna have to agree with most of the purists here:
I like everything but:
-Ledge grab... gotta go. Come on now, that's Call of Duty. Skill jumps are a huge part of Halo, if you make it, GG, if not, you fucking suck get better.
-Double jump, nope. I mean, why is this necessary? It's COMPLETELY unnecessary. Sure, it feels more satisfying, but I don't know. I guess if you balance is to it's all the same jumping distance but just pressing twice to feel cool? Still, feels unnecessary.
-Ground pound, meh, if it works, great! But I hope it's not a 1SK ability. Destiny is awful for all the ways you get 1SK'd.
-No fucking sprint. Which I think that rumor confirms you just sprint to do that charge. So that charge might just be a sprint motion w/ a cooldown? That seems cool, but not full-fledged sprint.
That's about it for me.
Other than that, it could really work.

Ledge-grabbing is totally unnecessary, but the rest.... I think I can live with. Obviously we have to see it in action, but I'm not totally against it. Just not completely on board.

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that the Halo stream this weekend is the one I won't be watching on my Xbox One?
I need dat 60fps high quality, so watching on PC. Get your shit together, twitch on Xbone.
Jesus, between this and Blizzcon, when will I have time to eat?

This is pretty much the only thing left unanswered for me.
Did xbone next cloud dedi severs magic fix the coop netcode or is it still gonna be the classic input lag experience?

Be like Bryllcream, eat your own arm.
From my (admittedly limited) understanding, the only way to eliminate the coop input lag would be to completely rewrite the netcode from the ground up, so no. It'll probably be evened out, though, so you won't see one guy with 0 lag and one guy with .5 second lag, it'll be more like .25 for each.
Or something like that.

For those with TMCC, can you see achievements when snapped or in the app? Not sure if my situation is isolated. i get a "This game has more achievements than we can show at the moment. Check back later" message. Talked to 1 other and they don't have this issue, may have to re-download over night.
Probably the same. It's only matchmaking that has dedis.

I don't know if my arm will be enough energy to deal with all the Hnnngggggg of the next 4 days.
Maybe Breggman will let me nom on his arms too. It would help to deal with the incoming kleenex/lotion shortage of Brokevember 2014.

This is what I think about when I think Halo. If they can nail that with everything that is mentioned in the post, I'll be happy.
Want to play some custom? I'm also on the Master Chief Collection.
Send me your GT by PM is you want to.
Some achievements are missing with the Snap view unfortunately, I had the same problem with some of them.
Me and my friends are playing custom multiplayer matches in Halo: MCC right now, one of them is streaming here: http://www.twitch.tv/bar7h

Just to play devil's advocate for a moment, what if making it jump requires grabbing the ledge? Like, if you need to double jump just so then press A at precisely the right time to grab onto the ledge to haul yourself up.
Again, I'm deeply skeptical of ledge grabbing in Halo, but I could see it working.
Maybe.

I've always been okay with sprint. Too long have spartans calmly power-walked during life or death situations.
Ledge-grab has always been sort of nice for realism reasons in games but not so much for gameplay. It seems silly that a spartan can't just grab the ledge and pull himself up, then again I like the gameplay without it better because of skill jumps.
As for the rest of it, I'm apprehensive but open minded. Will wait for the beta.

I'm still lost at the transition between the article's release, and the confirmation that there was in fact a closed door hands on. Where was this confirmed?
GloriousCourtesy of Wahrer:
Some of you don't seem to understand why sprint and SOME of the stuff in the leak is bad for Halo (I said some not all).
A spartan is a super soldier, he should never NOT be aiming his weapon.
If ANY of this stuff makes it so you can't be aiming your weapon and be able to shoot, it should be removed ASAP.

The "he should have this because he's a super soldier" argument sure is tired.

Gone but not forgotten. Like chlamydia.
not armor abilities, Spartan abilities. Totally different
Not a killcam, but Spartan Playback Software. Totally different
Not weapon loadouts, but weapon sets. Totally different
And the worst case scenario is the already four way split for the already decreased population from H2's glory days is split up five ways now with Halo 5 sucks up the population and you left with boosters and fracas host for H2 customs

The thing is, while I agree with you about sprint, you also can't shoot while you're meleeing or throwing a grenade. You'd be eliminating 2/3 of the trinity
Then fuck it, let's go back to running around like chickens with our heads cut off and instant-respawning only to sprint back into the match and die again!
Sounds about right. By the logic in here, while we're at it, fuck lore, get rid of the motion tracker.
Holy fuck guys, there IS a middle ground here. Call of Halo: Duty Chief or Halo 5: Halo 2 Purist edition aren't the ONLY fucking options.

Agreed heartily with the last bit.
I have no idea what the first two paragraphs are about XD
Obviously super soldiers must always stroll around the battlefield.
Amen
Instant respawning was BTW just awful and it annoyed me a lot more than sprint for some reason.

Twitch is lacking on consoles, that's for damn sure. Can't really customize the stream, use chroma key, promote broadcast, etc.

What happened to innovating Halo the same way Halo 3 innovated on Halo 2? Forge, Theater, custom game settings, file sharing... the list goes on. One doesn't have to necessarily change core gameplay to innovate on an ancient formula. Don't fix what isn't broken.
Halo has gotten slower and slower with every iteration. Now we are using Sprint to speed it up, instead of just increasing the Base Movement Speed, which is the problem in the first place.
I swear, slowing down Halo over a decade then putting Sprint into the game is like putting a frog into cool water and heating it to a boil, just sit there not realizing that the game is getting worse. Then you defend Sprint because the game got slower.

Even when you build a Halo game to the so called "middle ground" people are going to claim it isn't Halo.
Hell, BigShow won't even say games beyond Halo CE are Halo.

In all fairness, 4 upped the movements speed considerably compared to Reach. So they're moving in the right direction in that respect, at least. I heartily agree that base movement > sprint.
Halo CE wasn't Halo. Halo was that Mac game that never released. Rip Halo
I call them "Hellno"
I was just kidding btw.
I'm all for upping the movement speed, I'm not entirely against sprint though.
