well how were they? Check their stats, there's a way to cheat your rank up to 50 super quickly.
Can confirm that CE's autoaim is, in fact, actually repelling the reticle from enemies. It happened to me in every CE game I played tonight.
Also, whatever algorithm governs trueskill is inherently broken. I was constantly matched up against players with literally ten times more games played than me with K/Ds in the 2.0+ (3000+ more kills than deaths) while I'm sitting comfortably in the 0.9 territory (some 40 deaths more than kills, or at least I was. Now it's something like 60). It has been this way since the MCC launched, and I'd like there to something implemented to address this.
A 30 minute long 3v3 CTF match with a team composed of those guys on Hang-Em-High turns in to an ordeal, not game.

The Spring was really really good. I like that all the episodes seem to be linking together, showing each step. I love that kind of stuff.
Hopefully next Spring will be just as lovely.
But enough about mother nature's mood swings. If this Sprint thing is as good as you guys say, I look forward to future episodes. Now if I can just watch it that'd be grand.

First game in weeks on Halo MCC. MM took about 5 minutes, but at least it showed progress and I knew a match was actually going to happen.
Game ended, and got stuck staring at the scorecard for about 3 minutes before I finally got thrown in the post game lobby.
Frustrating, but at least I was able to play a match.
I want to play Halo 5.

Thought I was going crazy.
It doesn't happen all the time but it does happen. Weird.
Can't wait to play tomorrow, but I'm still not very sure WHEN exactly the beta is supposed to go live. It's either 10am PST or 1pm PST.
If its not live by 1 pm PST, I'd probs recommend huge panic

Do we already know at which time the Beta will be able to download today?
Damn I already planned getting the Legend Achievement for the 29th, but now my whole free weekend will be spend in H5G I guess

I too experienced the repelling aim. Was weird as hell.

I Had work when this whole preview beta thing happened, and I don't have a day off until Christmas. I guess the beta to the beta was just not meant for me ;-;
I work retail as well. RIP KiboSenshi

When do you think you'll have a One? I got one a couple months after I got a job mostly because my priorities aren't straight. Halo is an addiction, robbing me of money
So, is this forge for halo 5?
Here's all the gameplay/map clips from the Sprint Episode back to back. (3 Minutes, Youtube 1080p)

Is it just me, or did the AR ADS change?
EDIT:
I think it did change, compare video above to 1:03 of

I dont think so. They already had blockout meshes in the midship parts of the video with actuall blockout/placeholder textures. That would be what I would expect to see if you are correct.
However, what they have in that screenshot looks like a custom built shader for the floor that glows around the edges of things that sit on top of it and fully textured forge pieces strewn about.
Seems in line with some of what Frank was talking about earlier perhaps...
If my earlier guess turns out to be right I am going to flip.
It's probably just an alpha build and that's all there is to it.
*Edit*
You're theory sounds quote plausible and I hope I am flipping hard when we find out.
Sweeeeeeet. Thanks dude.
lmao I know that feel bro.When do you think you'll have a One? I got one a couple months after I got a job mostly because my priorities aren't straight. Halo is an addiction, robbing me of money
Honestly I didn't think I would be able to get a One in time for the beta but with this job I just got I might be able to get a One in a couple weeks. Just gotta put my ass into overdrive! With burning soul!! So yeah hopefully I'll be able to join all of you guys in the beta
Oh I misunderstood you meant the screenshot. Yeah could be forge, but I'm leaning more towards Breakout being like Foundry where you can use preset forge pieces to edit the layout of the map.

Not gonna lie, the more I see of the clamber move in Halo 5 the more excited I am to try it. It's really fun to watch someone boost out of the way and clamber up to an area and return fire.
Hopefully the entertainment of watching all of these elements skillfully strung together mixed with a spectator mode will make Halo 5 a truly great esport.

This combo at the :13 second mark was really damn cool to me
I look forward to seeing the various ways we can chain abilities. They certainly look awesome already.

One of the early preview articles said Breakout was a forged map, or was that debunked?

Really like the way Halo 5 looks, spartan's with black/grey undersuit too hnnng. Stronghold looks nice, the glow of the territory looks good. So excited to get my hands on this game.

It's been confirmed that breakout is forgeable.

Can't wait to play with all of you guys. Here's hoping they surprise us with some BTB though. Or another beta with some BTB.
It just looks early versions of the Breakout pieces to me, to be honest. Doesn't look all that different then what we've seen of forge already.

Has anyone gotten their code through an xbox live message yet?
People claim codes will go out in ~ 6 hours, while the Beta will go live in 9 hours. Sucks if true.

Ah man, codes were given out yesterday!? That's what I get for getting drunk.
I didn't say that. I was complaining about the time, because that's at 10pm CET.
But to be honest... It's pretty unfair towards all the people who bought the MCC on day 1. I mean, I'm happy, that I got early access, but this special treatment just makes people even more pissed.
If you are in the Xbox One preview program, you should check your messages.

No it's not. AT ALL. It's not like MS are giving codes to randoms on XBL.
It is in my eyes. AC: Unity wasn't even half as broken as the MCC and Ubisoft is giving people a free game (for Season Pass owners) and free DLC (for everybody) for the problems Unity caused. What is Micosoft doing? Oh yeah, they are treating us like a 3 class society...

I had a session or two a week or so ago where I thought it was 'pretty good'. I played last night, however, and all the problems are still there. I was playing in a party with two friends; on two seperate matches the game dropped one of them before the game started. The second one put him off the game entirely for the night so our party was ruined. 3v3 is now the standard in TS and the H3 playlist. I think every single game I played in the H3 playlist (4 or 5 games) started either 4v3 or 3v2. Trueskill matching was practically non-existent. I'm encountering a glitch in H3 more often than I ever did in the original where the option to pick a weapon up off the floor is not presented. The first few weeks of the MCC, when I did manage to get a game, the connections were amazing. The last week or two, the connections have been very, very iffy. Still no dedicated servers obviously.
That's the technical side. The playlist curation, at least for the H3 list, is a disgrace at the current time. The H3 list is essentially an AR exclusive playlist. I got to a point after sequential AR starts and... I just couldn't do it anymore. The game was turned off. Non-BR starts are utter cancer and completely ruin the H3 playlist. Not to mention BTB still has AR starts.
Thought it was just me. Weirdest glitch.

Can you explain what it is you're seeing? Is the reticle literally moving away from a player without input, or is it just that the reticle slows down when approaching a player? I haven't noticed it, but I didn't know what to look for.
