Halo |OT 20| It really does feel like Halo

Haha, in line right now, one dude actually wearing a fedora and brought his MK VI helmet. No one also near me knew that Halo 5 now had ADS. What kinds of fans are these.

I wonder what they're gonna do for BTB. I get the feeling that it's going to be radically different to what we've seen today.

They seem to be emphasising "Arena" too much.

Loadouts, insta-spawns, ordnance streaks, larger player count, etc will all be present outside of their Arena hopper. That's my guess, anyway. This game is so fucking weird.

I thought I had to wait 2 more hours! The halo fest stream died on me so I thought I try it and there it is. I should post in the other thread because I seem to be the only person who had no problems with the pre-load and had it pop right up as soon as it was unlocked.

Played some halo 3/4 campaign earlier so I can have a fresher comparison in mind. If anybody is doing MP later feel free to send an invite.

So I click to start my Masterchief collection, and it says I need to download 15gbs before I can play it. And the 15gbs wont even begin to download, it just says "updating".

So far I thoroughly liked what I saw with Guardians beta, with the exception of ADS animation but it's so minor. All that MCC classic content and HaloGAF still can't be neutral or positive about some arena updates with a new Halo title.

HaloGAF I hope your beta feedback is better quality than "I'm out" or "FFS" etc.

Top shelf production value there 343i, colour me impressed.

Yea pretty sure that might happen and I wonder if they will introduce other spartan abilities. I made a list of ideas a year ago looks like they took some of them. I like what I saw , but not the kill times though. People at teambeyond are going ballistic though

I'm guessing that they decreased auto aim when using ads. I'm okay with that.

So long as the magnetism/aim assist range for hipfire
oh god I am saying this word in relation to Halo
is farther out like it is in Halo CE, then the shooting should feel better without having to ADS.

Managed to find a game!it started 3v4 but that mattered not. Was absolutely doin folk on lockout. Killing frenzy. Game drops randomly. After about 5 mins. Sigh. Come on 343.

Buy I was ecstatic. It's so good to be back. Felt awesome.

What the hell

If you quit a campaign game and resume your progress later, it puts you back at the start of the level. This has happened twice. First time I thought it was just because I quit Halo 2 to check out what Halo 3 looked like for a moment, so I didn't say anything, but this time I only went from Halo 2 to Forge and then back straight into Halo 2. Unless I'm missing something? eeeeh

And now I gotta go through Delta Halo all again. How bloody irritating.
