"Someone won the Halo 5: Guardians Beta invitation today. I'm at work so I'm not sure who, but I can confirm someone won."
I'm off work this week you big knucklehead!

Add me so I can send you an invite.Bookmark'd.
Also I know that getting an inv to the preview program won't get me a slot in the early Beta but if you have any slots left for the preview program I'd appreciate an inv anyways. Always love seeing what MS has cooking for their dashboard releases.
Blood Gulch.
But seriously, imagine that? Shoot off a mancannon and GROUND POUND straight to the enemy base. Please don't deny us of this for Custom Games Stinkles.

I need to be able to make it so that the Thruster Charge can be used for a lot longer and can go faster.
I basically want to do the Shinespark from Metroid.
Added!
SMG starts creates more interesting gameplay.
The BR spread is necessary to control the BR at range.
Ordinance wont fundamentally change the way you play the game.
Armor Lock is actually well balanced.
Sprint is necessary to keep the game fast paced.
Dedicated servers.
Just like you remember.

Petition to change the shields down sound effect to Metroid's infamous "DUA-DUA-DUA-DUA-DUA" sound

I guess this one is called the Hydra? Super cool. I'm always up for more human weapons.

If anyone has an early access beta code or whatever it is they'd be willing to share I'm interested! Haven't read up on the details yet, been working all day but I'm pretty pumped to see/heat more.

Oh goodness, what the hell was with the voice overs, they were terrible. Cringe worthy and you're over acting Steitzer, it stops sounding cool when you are overplaying every word.
Too many medals and announcements. All that ego stroking gets dull fast, if I'm getting half a dozen medals per kill, I don't care for them anymore and would rather hide them from the HUD. Same with announcements for everything, it stops being amusing and ends up resulting in Steitzer's yelling becoming an unoffical OST.
As for the game itself, it looks cool. Lightrifle scope-in is alright, hope some more mode variations/info are teased, small scale arena isn't all there is to Halo.

Watched the trailer again and spotted a couple cool things.
From the combat log: "2014 halo 343 1 4-shotted 2014 Halo 343 4". It made laugh and smile. And it'll be great because it'll help identify really lethal players in the combat log.
At the 0:26 mark Steitzer says "Power Player" which I imagine is a new medal. Its probably in-line with some of the new more rewarding medals like Top Gun and Perfect Kill.
And I noticed more descriptive map capture point names. One of the capture points on the human map is specifically called "Turbine" as opposed to the old alpha, beta verbiage. "Enemy captured Turbine" is the verbiage used in the combat log as well. Spotted "Blue Bend" as well. Very nice.

Any other contests/giveaways worth entering for an early access beta code going on?
It really was, the end with them prodding Vic for Cortana was hilarious.
Try and read the whiteboards during the playtest too, interesting titbits.

I'm loving The Sprint so far.
It's great to see a more personal look at the development of my favorite game franchise.
The little "Cortana" jab was excellent.

Yeah, it would be pretty cool to have dev episodes every week or every two weeks after the beta where 343 shows the changes they are considering based on the feedback. So one week we would see them test different scenarios for fixes with thruster, another week we see different ideas they have to nerf shoulder charge or sprint... that kind of stuff.

I'll join in on the code begging.
How did you already boot it up?
Just watched The Sprint. I love these kinda things- seeing what goes into a game before it's shipped.
Kinda crazy to think that 343 actually considered traditional iron sights at one point. And descope wasn't in from the beginning, lol.
Hearing the monks at the end was a breath of fresh air. Hopefully they're back for Halo 5. Frankie- is the music in that in H5? And who is it composed by?

I'm reevaluating whether my college education is worth a damn now...
How did I never know Nowise was in HS?
Dat early access hype. Can't wait to see if this ends in salty disappointment or rabid hype levels.
I think Steitzers cheese is growing on me. I mean, I prefer the older iterations but I think I can learn to like these. Maybe...
Jet packs are so much fun. They're fucking JETPACKS. The problem is they're also JETPACKS. And jetspacks in competitive Halo are ruinous for maps. Still though. They're fun.
My god...
