That would be great.
As long as classic scopes are an option I can live with ADS being in the game.

Animation is too slow
Thanks 343i for letting us know when the next MCC patch is out and thanks for killing Halo MP for me. You did a great job, so far.
And what's up with people saying Halo 5 being already better than Halo 3... What the fuck is wrong with people? I mean, you can have your opinion, but stating it as a fact is straight up ridiculous. It sounds like those people don't even recognize Halo anymore.
Please fix the MCC, so I don't have to give a shit about Halo 5 anymore. Thanks...

My guess is the digital foundry H5 Thread.
Oh geez.

Oh geez.
He wasn't wrong. Corrine Yu had just a part to do with Halo 4 looking so good. It always annoys me people give her all the credit when there are other people who are truly talented on the 343 team.
I'm not saying she did nothing, but she was just one part of a team. Her leaving doesn't mean Halo 5 will look bad.
IMO, Halo 5 will be mind blowing graphics-wise come release.

How did the narrative that Yu made H4 a graphics powerhouse come about? I hadn't heard of her until the thread about her going to ND, but I hadn't really been paying attention I guess
Some guy said something like "I bet they miss Corrine Yu so badly" or something implying she was the sole reason 343i was so graphically/technically competent.
Also implied that the beta is a good way to judge how Halo 5 will look/perform.
I only heard of it when she left to go to ND...
I wouldn't be surprised if it was just people trying to look for ways to say 343 is doomed and that they suck.

Oh, I meant prior to the thread, in general. How did she come to attain "wizard" status among enthusiasts?
Because this is NeoGAF and she went to Naughty Dog, a Sony exclusive studio. They can do no wrong ever, and everything about them should be the best. While she is highly capable and it was a big loss for 343, it's crazy how so many think she singlehandedly was responsible for what was largely a team effort.

I don't like Regret, Eden is a good map but Regret is too much of a clusterfuck.
Wow that was messy.

Who are these people and why are they allowed to play in MM?
The three in the second one were teamkilling me and I managed to boot them when the score was 44 - 47

nice carry tho
I have to admit... I really am starting to believe no motion tracker would do wonders for this game. Noobs who don't use it will have less of a disadvantage (still not as skilled) and high level players won't be using it as a crutch.
If anything, like a 4 quadrant radar would be nice. Which ever direction an enemy might be it'll light up (sort of like a more simplistic Destiny radar). If not, completely remove it.
I know it's scary to think about as a 343i developr, but it could really make gameplay far more exciting. I've seen a lot of people praise the no radar in breakout (I know it's different, but still).

This beta is absolutely great. If THIS is the game. I'll be very happy. Even rolling solo I have a lot of fun.
No radar would require more teamwork though...
Makes aggressive maneuvers harder and encourages camping. But it benefits teamwork because you see your teammates on radar. Yeah...
It would require more communication, which is essentially non-existant. Having the radar means you can see where your teammates are and can position yourself accordingly, much more easily move as a team and generally coordinate better.
Having the radar allows for more teamwork.

Keep radar as is. Change for diff gametypes only. It makes you aware of your movements and helps battle against camping.
No dude... Having no radar requires more teamwork.. I mean.. come on. Just bring back the Halo 2/3 tags that show the emblem or service tag of your team-mates with yellow/orange/red on your screen.
How does it help against camping? Campers are invisible in the radar. Because of radar campers know where and when opponents come from.

LMAO @ TheOddOne's perma
hope he was wearing his fedora for that one
hope he was wearing his fedora for that one
How do you know it was a perma? There's no way he got perma'd just on that thread alone...
Yeah I hope the final game isn't too different from the beta to be honest.
Is there anything new other than the maps planned for next week?
Whenever I use the radar, it's to get pinpoint accuracy for where the enemy is. Hardly ever have I used it to find where a teammate is, especially if I'm playing with randoms. I think you're definitely overstating the benefits it gives to teamwork as opposed to basically telling you where every enemy/vehicle is in a wide radius and multiple elevations.
.
There's a difference between team work and communication. No radar means you have to communicate more with you team to effectively coordinate yourselves as a team. Knowing where your team mates are is integral to team work. Now having no radar would be perfect if people actually communicated. However hardly anyone does communicate, and most of the time those who do don't communicate effectively.
As for the icon method, I have a few problems with it:
- increased visual clutter: 5 is already very visually cluttered, having arrows spinning around at the edge of your screen just makes that worse.
- less info: radar shows the position, direction and distance from you to your team mates. Icons show the direction only.
- ease of obtaining info: to find out where your teammates are with radar it takes one glance to the bottom corner of your screen. To accurately see the direction of your team mates with icons you have to actually look around, forcing you to look away from where enemies may be etc.
Also, are there any problems with having team only radars?
Not everyone may do, but I use it all the time for seeing the position of my team. I sorely missed it in Breakout because of this.

No way, that was a perma?
Wonder how the new territories mode will play, and are Regret and Eden getting replaced for forge maps, or are they staying next week?
Sorry. I thought that you meant you support radar only team, not teammate only radar.

I'm not saying no radar means less team work. I'm saying it means a lot more communication is required, and because no one communicates it means actual team coordination is reduced.
Also, I imagine removing the radar in mlg etc. Is more to do with being able to see the enemies, not your team mates. Also having a radar in upper level competitive games is less necessary because people are communicating. The problem lies when you're solo queuing in standard MM.
It's fine, it's 3:25 for me... Not being able to sleep sucks.

What's more effective for a camper, not being able to see through walls or being able to see through walls?
What's more effective for a camper, sitting in a position where their only chance to find people is to actively search for them, exposing their position (which actually wouldn't make them a camper), or sitting behind a wall and poking out only when they think it's safe while watching the red dots move around them?
Please, let us have this discussion. People who want motion tracker to remain as is just drop that bomb and disappear, leaving those who form arguments against it eagerly awaiting an interesting discussion.
Yeah the storm rifle can go away forever. #PlasmaRifleForLife

Did the beta have female spartans or only spartan bros?.
Which is exactly what happens when you remove motion tracker and play with people who aren't in full parties.
