Both Elzar's and HBO's were fine. Your stream was skipping quite a bit.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Vin on the IGN stream hahah

 

[Poodlestrike]

But it's not me. When I play Halo, I want the MC to feel like an extension of me, a virtual representation of me as a player. In real life I'm not a dudebro high-fiving excessive celebration guy, so I don't really want to be forced to be one in Halo.

I get that, but the "12 year old" thing was kind of offputting

Think that a Spartan personality customization thing would work?

 

[Deception]

Vin FTW on the IGN stream now. You guys are famous.

 

[CliQ]

My codes just showed up. Preview member.

 

[Gnome Scat]

Someone's gonna bookmark all these posts for when Halogaf inevitably turns on Halo 5

HaloGaf in 10 days.

 

[Zoolader]

Whos streaming? Elzar forgot to pay his electricity bill, ExWife has a horrible connection, and HBO just turned off their stream?

ign twitch stream is live and looks good and the voices don't make your ears bleed.

This is going to be moderated/toned down a bit. It's supposed to be "funny" but we heard loads of complaints already.#realbeta

Not a nice thing to say about Elzar

 

[Fahzgoolin]

On the pistol, how many full-shielded enemies do you think you can kill before reloading, assuming you land all your shots?

Only 2. Reload is quick though.

5 quick headshots kill a fully shielded opponent.

They're killing it with the pistol on that stream

 

[FATstronaut]

Redeemed both codes but nothing is downloading. I'm scared.

 

[Deception]

The IGN guys keep calling hipfiring no-scoping and its getting annoying.

 

[OdysseusVA]

IGN stream is also 60fps

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Will be back streaming in 5

 

[uwdanman]

Wow the midship remake looks huge

 

[User 73706]

lol, "the next evolution in halo combat"

well to be fair all hipfiring IS noscoping now

if you guys haven't taken the hint that Smart Scope is more integral to gameplay than zooming and is not identical in functionality to classic zooming yet, now would be a good time to do so

 

[Ramirez]

This game is fun, initial impression.

I don't have a beta code, so I can't speak directly, but I always loved the chatter on ODST Firefight. If it's something like that I'll be happy.

 

[Rev3rb]

But does it still feel like Halo?

Awesome. Thanks for that info.

[BlackGhost]

Midship remake is awesome, would like to see some other maps in these streams Though

 

[RBK]

It's not.

 

[pacman85]

I guess nktrnl was right when he said there will be huge maps in halo 5....

Yeah add me to the list. Seems more silly than funny to me.

EDIT:

Also does this preview beta have all the maps we'll see in the full beta?

 

[Fahzgoolin]

Trust me, when you play it you don't really notice it. It feels good with dirtier and clamber. If it was smaller it would feel pretty bad.

Good to hear. It's really, really off putting. Almost like gangsters.

Spartans are mysterious, silent bad asses.

Maybe if you provided customizable animations (that were a little toned down), players would be more positive towards it. It could be a great visual representation of player stats, like maybe the camera could fly around to each player and identify their top accolade, such as "MVP" or "Most Sword Kills."

Midship BTB?

 

[m23]

No. I think it's just 2 maps here.

it's closer to Fraternity X background musings than ODST Firefight.

No-scoping in any game is usually reserved for weapons that require scope in to be effective. If that's the case every hipfire kill with any gun should be a snapshot.

...in H5G every weapon detailed so far shows discernible improvement either in terms of augmented visual range or reduced bullet spread while scoped in

Last game already ended, but he got two BXR medals. Think it is either a Thrust or Sprint Melee, then headshot with BR to get the medal.

nvm, just melee then shot

[VinFTW]

Sniping is game breakingly easy in this game.

 

[TheOhrenberger.]

my download is going super slow. I'm probably not going to play this for like 2 hours.

[link1201]

No. I think it's just 2 maps here.

Yeah...no still not considered "No-scoping" you don't hip-fire someone in cod, bf, tf, etc with an AR and say "No scope" that's not how it works.

 

[Fahzgoolin]

I noticed this. Our maybe you and I should go pro

Yes. Dat pistol.
