So funny to think all they have to do is start up some servers and we in business. 343 just turn them on we won't tell anyone.

What are the chances for no motion tracker at any point throughout this beta?
Point is
We lost to greenskull and major nelson so there needs to be some serious redemption come real beta.
Let's not blame whoever on alleged negbombs

This doesn't say 16 and a half hours. I think the beta is coming earlier than we thought!
Waking up to Halo 5 goodness. Mmmmm...

Don't make excuses for those scrubz.
where is this "download tab"? I'm in Extras and Halo 5 MP Beta is greyed out.
I bought the game digitally.
10 am est?
YUSSSS
Only by 2 hours, tho
I thought it was launching at 5pm GMT though?
This is 7 hours earlier than that...

Mine says 17 hours and 17 minutes, which means it'll open 10am PST

It was supposed to be noon EST, and my numbers are saying it's going to be 10 EST. Hmm.
EDIT: count says 14 hours and change.
Mine says 9 hours and 12 minutes, 10am GMT.
Maybe they're doing a staggered launch?

Or, more likely, it's pointing towards 10 AM no matter where you are. Isn't it launching at 10 AM Superior Freedom Time?
Been playing too much Destiny Biggy?

A shiny silver coin to the person that brings me bobs' still beating heart.
Oh not that kind of bounty.
Oh
Let me guess. You're in France or UK? If so, that's normal. Beta will be live around 9am in our countries.
Source? I'm pretty sure it's 9am PST worldwide.

I was under that impression as well.
No radar would be pretty interesting. It's a much faster game and my ironman thrusters would put in some work.
I think they should do it. It would put spartan chatter to the test. Maybe if not for a week for a day or 2 in a special playlist.
Slayer Pro?
They should do it for a few days.

My timer is just a hair over 14 hours. No idea what's going on.

I don't like that distinction being made. It just discourages newer players from playing that playlist despite no radar being good for all players.

I think if Breakout takes off, we might see a surge in the popularity of no-radar play.

Last few times I have played campaign in Halo 2 it threw me into a multiplayer lobby like that.
This game is so bizzare man.
That game type looks great but I hope it's more than just slayer one day. Round based, one life, objective games could be a lot of fun.

The only game I have ever seen a one life, round based, objective game work is Counter Strike. With their current paintball map structure, it just simply wouldn't work IMO.
Perhaps an assualt game type with an instant bomb fuse so you could risk running it to the other side and touching the plant site. It would have to work differently though, where the bomb holder could switch to the primary weapon.

Yeah, though I question how well it'd work with a high-mobility game like H5 (as opposed to a Countersrike-esque tactical shooter). Proof is in the pudding, I suppose. Hope we can set up Breakout games in Forge.
Yeah I mean it wouldn't be like counterstrike and I don't think they should try and make it like that. Maybe a unique objective game that's made for Halo 5s breakout. Not sure what that would be yet.
I don't disagree. It's just the name that's been used for "no motion tracker" since Reach. Me and my buddies growing up almost always played without motion tracker. I'm of the opinion that it DEFINITELY leads to better and more interesting plays and games overall.
I always thought motion tracker was a convention for matchmaking and people who weren't required to communicate.

Remember everyone, remember how important it is to bridge that gap between what we see in Matchmaking and what we see from eSports and other competitive scenes.
Now consider how motion tracker will never be a part of any of those scenes.

Launched the halo 5 beta through the MCC extra section. Immediately played the rest of the new H2A cinematic with Locke and the arbiter. Arbiter asked if John is a friend or foe and Locke said he has gone AWOL and intends to find out why.
Weird it played that. It suddenly cut off, as there was orchestral music playing.
