Yeah I noticed that. It was bad for me. Played some customs on halo ce and it was very smooth, hopefully the matchmaking will be that smooth.

I've played like ten games I think.
These connection issues are annoying. Let me play the campaign with my friend please. 
Wow. Seems like LASO has to wait.

I've just played a match on Blackout...It feels sooo good...
Where's my AstroTurf remake bro?
Glad to see that there's a plain flat grass piece in Forge, although I wish there were different sides to it. That, and the fact that there aren't more regular sides to the natural pieces for when you want to do "natural" but more regular elements.

You know I would have been seriously up for trying LASO even if I suck if Blind wasn't one of the required ones, cant stand that skull

No, this is worse, this is worse than even the gears 2 launch and it's literally the worst launch I can remember in my 34 years on this planet.

The picture I saw of a mocked-up Master Chief Collection JIRA inspired me to make an actual bug tracker to help organize everything that's going on and to make sure all the issues can be documented.

Please be small, I've finally got it downloaded and want to be able to play it.
You won't have to download anything on your end for these updates.

Oh my...
Right. Got into a game. Halo 2 Classic, 3v3 though, finally? Lagging like hell. Clipped through a wall, and then spawned and couldn't move my character, had to kill myself. I played Halo 2 for years finding glitches. Never ever seen anything like that.
Then the Game Over appears 10 minutes early of the timer and before either team has actually won in kill points. Then as it exits the lobby the game crashes and kicks me to the X1 dashboard.
I don't know what to think.

Sounds like you just passed into the twilight zone. Did you at least win the match?

I keep falling asleep, lol! I'm struggling thematically with the map. I really wish the "flat" terrain was.. More flat. I want to use that for the floor, but there are so many height deviations. I don't want to go too "hilly" and loose the fairness/predictability of a level walking path.
It is nice, I also wished it had a different textured backside. Even flat gravel/dirt would have been nice.
Honestly, I have reduced Turf down to its most basic level with just simple geometry to the point where its so simplistic is silly. Hopefully I will have a stroke or artistic genius and practice my master decorator skills.
I miss AstroTurf, alot. That was a great aesthetic.

I guess? The end game lobby doesn't actually tell you who won the match lol!
Played another game there. 3v2 Slayer on Elongation. Ended at 20 kills to the other team. Huh?
Going to break until the other update it out.

The games themselves are great. 1080p60 does wonders for Halo multiplayer. Getting into an even match with friends or strangers alike, however, is difficult, but is apparently improving. CE multiplayer is a bit janky though. It's clear why they postponed the CE playlist. Also, there are apparently bugs in multiplayer matches, but I have yet to encounter any aside from the post-game loading screen lock up. I'm optimistic though that these issues will be sorted out quickly, especially given Microsoft's strong backing and marketing of the game.

I gotta say...when the MM is working it has really REALLY WORKED for me. Super smooth and fast.

Halo 5 is looking really good, but I'm also worried about some of the things like ground pound and clamber.
Also, I hope the BR scope changes to something more BR-like.

It's funny that I'm now eagerly awaiting the update to the matchmaking fix info that is due at 10am PST, just like waiting for the IGN First articles a month ago.
Surely they meant 11.12
Visually it looks nice, the direction the game play as a whole is going maybe not so much.
Kinda glad I'm waiting too get it instead of getting it at launch now if its got those sorts of issues.
Jesus, why is the AR able to kill so fast at such a long range?

AR could stand to be toned down a bit, but frankly it was always way, way too weak in past games. It's looking like they might have overcorrected, though.
It'll probably be nerfed in the beta. Doesn't need a huge nerf though, just a little adjustment on the damage values.
Does this guy stop to take a breath?

When I watched the b-roll footage that Cyren posted yesterday, the thing that became a near-immeidate annoyance was the extraneous audio from Spartans. Why is it even there; is it supposed to help me if I'm going into matchmaking solo?
Aside from that, I liked what I saw for the most part.
- Ground Pound seems like the most likely culprit to hate during the beta, wouldn't be sad to see it go.
- Smart Scope seems...eh. Don't like the ADS look on the rifles at all, but the pistol and AR look kind of cool. Overall it just seems like excessive stuff on the screen that isn't really needed. I'd much rather go back to the full-screen scope in, but I know that appealing to the CoD popularity.
- Vaulting/Clamoring seems an interesting addition. Not sure what else to say until I see more people using it.
- I like sliding in Destiny, seems like a decent addition.
- Overall, I like that EVERYONE has the same abilities. That solves most of the issues I had with H4, and I do understand that the game does need to have some evolution to the gameplay at some point.

Agreed. Make the TTK just a smidge higher, and I think we're good.
Also, does anyone know whether or not they plan to make any adjustments during the 3 weeks? I think that might be the best option, let people react to the changes.
