Guessing that missile launcher replaces it?

I really would prefer the classic as an option. However I don't have that much of problem with it. I perfrom well with it.
It requires you put up a 0.1 K/D against pros to get in. I've checked that box.
It's really bad with the pistol.

So, thinking about it, I think the NuRocket Launcher might not be a redesign, per se; what if they split up the OG launcher into basically 2 weapons: 1 single shot with homing (the tube), one multi shot w/o (the Hydra)?

I think it basically emphasizes the lack of range. Pistol CAN dong across map but not easily. The smaller sight demonstrates that... However I still want a classic option..

So ADS is not cosmetic? GG
Describe for me how it felt to you, as user and recipient?

Its been confirmed it improved accuracy for awhile, idk why people said it was only cosmetic.
It is, mechanically, but some weapons block part of your vision, as ADS does.
I don't like the dumb overlay in the snipe scope either. The zooming animations are off too.

A look at the covi ships outside of midship. The big one in the middle looks like a whale.

I have found it very useful with the AR at long distance. Some kills I definitely wouldn't have gotten without the new scope system and the much tighter spread. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it because it's affecting autos and not precision weapons. However its definitely odd.
If you're talking about all weapons, it's not just visual.

My install has been stuck at 75% for about 30 minutes now. I tried doing a hard restart of my xbox and resuming but it's still at the same point. Is that pretty normal?
Edit: I can see on my router that there's not very much traffic any more. It was at about 40 megabit before it got to 75%.

That startled me, I was not expecting a video to instantly start playing full screen.

Feels like it slows down the game and disturbs your field of vision without any reason. Both gameplay wise and lore wise it doesn't make sense.
Don't like the addition at all.
So far I'm having very mixed feelings about the beta. 1 second it feels like Halo and the next I feel like I'm playing CoD.

Halo is dad, just like every year since Halo 3.
Mine is still installing. It's been an hour.

I do feel there is a bit an identity crisis with H5.
Me and Blue were discussing that.

MCC took me 12...
It bothers me that the weapons move that much. These are half tonne super soldiers and they're struggling to hold such a low calibre weapons?
It looks like it's about to fly out of his hands

Gonna take a break, that was the most intense Halo I've played in months and months. Stream shall return later tonight.
They are cool but hard since everybody is moving all the time. I only had one.

They are just Halo 4 assissinations.
I've been thinking about the effect of ADS on the AR. It seems like in close quarters where you'd normally use the AR in classic Halo, it feels very similar. Scoping is essentially pointless as you'd be knocked out straight away and you wouldn't be able to aim fast enough to track your target. As such it doesn't really feel any different when considering it from a purely aiming standpoint.
Where scoping does come in to play is at mid range. And it makes the AR far more effective than its classic counterparts. The tighter spread means the upper limit on the effective range is greatly increased. Where the AR would have been completely useless before, it now can actually defend the player.
So from what I have seen, the inclusion of this semi ADS doesn't really have any effect on the classic usage of the AR. What it actually appears to do is increase the effective range of the AR without making it OP in close quarters. Which I kinda like. Maybe, need to play some more first.
However I'm not that worried about smart scope's effect with the AR.
I do agree that it makes 0 sense from a lore perspective. Why does raising the weapon up a bit suddenly massively decrease spread. You're still running around at the same speed and jumping etc.

How did you feel that it slowed the game down?

Tone down bullet magnetism. Getting a "Perfect" medal when I have clearly missed shots is a bit patronizing.
