How do you know it isn't like Halo 4 where you can skip the killcam and do exactly that?






I see literally no negatives in seeing how you died. It's actually quite a nice thing to watch instead of monitoring your dead body/teammates.

You would rather watch a replay of you losing a battle than watch something that could provide valuable information when you respawn?

You mean like in Halo 4 where you hit X and immediately respawn? You mean like that?

 

[kittens]

You can turn both off, very good

Sweet. I wonder if kill cams will be on by default in matchmaking, though.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Why aren't people feeling the killcams? They respawn time is still set, this simply changes what you see while dead.

No, I mean like in 4 where you hit a button and watch the spawn timer tick down.

Sure, because killcams can also provide useful info.

I know who I don't want on my team when I want to play-to-win.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

The only reason they didn't have fully customizable loadouts was to "stay as true as possible to the original".

Lol Halo 5 is screwed.

That comment was indeed a bit worrying.

I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain.

 

[RoKKeR]

I JUST missed the customization screen but it looked promising.

Rat's Nest haha, hell yes!

 

[Jedi Otter]

Are they serious? The stream goes down, and they detail all the customization? What the hell. . . .

 

[darthbob]

I JUST missed the customization screen but it looked promising.

Rat's Nest haha, hell yes!

I think we all missed it. -_-

Hopefully the footage is there on the VoD.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Nice, map layouts for the old games as well.

 

[Defect]

This is why it is a bad thing. I can't see where the enemy is or watch my teammates or callout.

Keep that shit in customs, I don't care.

Because Halo is its own game and doesn't need to just be grabbing features from other games to make itself more "modern" (i.e. generic). Killcams give too much information away, also. Players should pass their time watching the third person teammate cams to help give them an idea where their team is at, what's happening, and what to do when they spawn.

 

[TheXbox]

No, I mean like in 4 where you hit a button and watch the spawn timer tick down.

Just teasing you mate.

I can't say I'm surprised they added loadouts and killcams. I'm not even that mad as long as that shit don't touch the real Halo games. Anniversary is a superficial one-off and I can't force myself to care about it. It's just an unfortunate indicator that 343 wankery will continue on into Halo 5.

 

[Slightly Live]

<3 Rat's Nest

Needs more Warthoging and less ARing.

 

[Kibbles]

Watching this gameplay in 30fps seems pointless :| Like yup, that's Halo 3.

Ugh disappointing I'm just gonna go get food.

 

[Vico]

So, every map has a top-down schematic view during loading. Nice.
Was afraid they'd only have them for Halo 2 Anniversary maps.

 

[darthbob]

Is the guy playing drunk?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

30fps even on source...guy playing is heckfu tier...gg

 

[kittens]

Is the guy playing drunk?

shoots at dead body, misses by a mile and shoots pipes instead

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Either the sticks are inverted or this dude is a bit drunk.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Hahaha

 

[Fahzgoolin]

Wow guys have you forgotten their Halo 5 Beta first look? It reinforced "fair starts" with the same weapon as the other spartans on the field.

Chillax bruthas.

 

[matthieuC]

Give the controller back to Alfredo now

 

[Welfare]

So even with radar, people don't use it.

Why do we have it again?

 

[RoKKeR]

These matches need to be like 2-3 minutes long max so we can just riffle through the maps.

And this guy playing currently is... bad.

Apparently he's playing inverted, and isn't used to that.

 

[TheOhrenberger.]

If we're just gonna be seeing 30fps gameplay then I only want to see new Halo 2 anniversary stuff. Don't show old games unless we get to see it at a buttery 60fps

 

[TharpDaddy]

I think i'll definitely be playing the most Halo 3 in the MCC. Still looks pretty good and incredibly fun.

 

[RoKKeR]

I feel another 2 Dev montage coming on.

That was almost as bad as the hornet flipping.

And this is confirming Halo 3 will be the go to game for me, still looks so good.

 

[The Flash]

This guy's awful.

 

[kittens]

fucking lol

 

[Akai__]

Shots Fired

LMAO

 

[ViewtifulJC]

these are the guys in charge of the next Halo btw

 

[YourExWife]

Dammit, IGN, I didn't want to edit another video so soon. I don't have the time.

EDIT: like, I get that not everyone is an MLG 1337 pro sauce, but at a certain point it's like an infant trying to drive a car. It's cute, but you're not fulfilling the purpose of the car.

Chillax bruthas.

I want to believe.

 

[The Flash]

awesome death poses like that are why killcams are silly in Halo

 

[Vico]

That hilarious death pose is the reason I don't want killcams ahah

 

[VinFTW]

these are the guys in charge of the next Halo btw

Isn't this Certain Affinity doing H2A and 343 is doign H5? Or am I deeply confused...


343=/=CA?

 

[RoKKeR]

Yes and yes.

Halo 5 BETA, not what the full game will be. Full game will most likely be a cluster fuck.

 

[RoKKeR]

The fact that they have committed to the whole arena thing is promising. There will at least always be that option for those who want it.

 

[Slightly Live]

The stream had a nice suggestion, sending the final Halo 2 players a copy of MCC.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Way to early to claim that.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Never liked the way rats nest looked. But I loved the way it played in BTB.

I have a feeling they're going to segregate arena Halo and Halo 4 tots. The latter of which we probably won't see for a while, until they've fooled us into believing Halo 5 will be legit.
