I don't think it's that simple, honestly. CE, while clearly sharing a lot of Quake's DNA, also made a number of gameplay changes that do more than just making it "for consoles."

At the end of the day, I guess I enjoy the sound of a vinyl record over a digital MP3.
That's how I compare Halo CE to Halo 5.
To those who simply do not understand, go youtube some pro Halo CE footage or even some pro quake 3 footage. Halo 5 is untapped potential to be something big, yet being held back intentionally to please some non-Halo demographic.

Of course it had to make changes for consoles....but lets not be so literal. It is our "console" version of Quake.
A true Quake game could never work on consoles, the controller limits its ability.
Halo CE was the answer. It was and still is (thank god for MCC Halo CE) the truest form of Halo.

lol, CE may be old-school, but vinyl is the last thing I would compare it to. Maybe it's just my synesthesia but it strikes me as pure 100% digital.

Well, to keep your analogy going, vinyl is cumbersome, hard to get into, and for the audiophiles and collectors. Mp3s are universal, quick, easy, and universally accepted. So... idk, maybe a meh analogy?

You act like I don't love every Halo game for it's own reasons. The feel and satisfaction of 3sk'ing someone in CE, the BXR combo in H2, the 4shot BR with stupid projectile bullets, and fuck it, even the DMR in HR.
I love every halo for every reason, but Halo 5 is the way to the future. It feels and plays like Halo (with some flaws, sure), and will be the most anticipated Halo game since 2 for me.
Not sure how true it is, but some players are saying it was suppose to be $500k instead of $50k for the finals. Doesn't help that the CoD Champs news came out today with 1 million dollar purse.
Guys...I'm not talking about TTK. TTK in Halo 5 is just fine in my opinion.
Go hop into Halo CE...play a few matches. Seriously compare the matches you play to the ones you played in Halo 5.
What on earth is wrong with making Halo 5 be more like Halo CE in regards to map control, power weapon control and powerup control?

Maybe it was that BS I was complaining about on TB.net. They should have just made it 500k per season finale instead of this BS "oh theres a year end finals too!"...
Like... How needlessly and pointlessly confusing does it have to be? The end of the season, there are playoffs with a championship. The next season is stand alone... not year end -_-

Obligatory save the CE fans, save the CE Pistol, save the franchise.
Delusional to think they may change the game to have an effective Magnum and to focus on other skills in-game over watching a motion tracker (I believe the skill of players will naturally increase over time when they HAVE to focus solely on map and combat awareness)? Maybe. But will I ever give up that good fight? Nope.
I'm not on Reddit...sorry. Not me. Unless there is a TTU or a 91 attached to Vapor...it's not me.
And if someone is posing as me...I would laugh my ass off.
That was a global championship though, and like the only attempt 343 made at it, no?

I would assume contracts for play were created, and a figure was mentioned, yes? And I would also assume Pro Players would hold on to said original contracts in the event they're not given an agreed prize/accommodation, yes?

They're helpful for exposing successful application of game mechanics, weapons and map positioning. Particularly for new players that are still learning how everything works. Of course that hinges on the accuracy of the replay, and that is unfortunately fairly rough for beta.
This could be a good solution and something that we are actively discussing based on beta feedback.
Excellent.

Awesome. Perhaps a toggle of which to have as default? Yeahhh, I know, another toggle request lol, but it would be nice :]
Thought you'd miss it, but great to know you are actively reading some threads for feedback. I can understand how they can be used to see how the offensive systems are working, and I can understand that newer players, possibly younger players may use them to see what they did wrong and what they can change but it's very jarring for me to be in a gunfight or during a team push, to then be put into the killcam with the music all the while missing out on that crucial few seconds. I do thank you for at least considering it internally to make killcam off by default and allowing those who need to see what's happened, the ability to press X or something to view.

New Beta guns when?
Also, will we get a Beta breakdown and stuff? Like with stats and a general overview of feedback.
Not like a list of what you'll do but what sort of feedback people gave the most.
For LoL sure, Halo eSports is still slumming and trying to rebound from a few years of terrible Competitive Halo.
Yeah, I know, but at least a couple teams have the backing of seemingly legitimate organizations.
I can see the similarities and based on what I've seen H5 could use more good power items to fight over, but that's never been what the game was about for me nor the core of the game imo. I enjoyed just doing my best as a player, working with my team, and living for those moments of incredible brilliance that make everyone lose it. Power weapon and map control are just a part of that.
What an experience
When typing this, did you not notice how ridiculously subjective and personal all of those sentiments are?
Not everyone is going to find a game boring because there's less things to fight over on the map.
Not everyone's savant switch gets flipped when they start up a Halo CE map.
Overshields and Camo are probably the last things on very many people's list on what makes Halo Halo.
There's nothing wrong with wanting Halo 5 to be more like CE, but to impose that on the potential millions who play the game and enjoy it in its current state... egh. funny taste.

I don't think he's implying that they suck at Halo though.
EDIT:
True, but Halo is about fighting over those things.
Real cool man, guess the guy can't discuss what he's so passionate about.
And this is an issue with Halo's demographic imo as Power-ups are part of what defines Halo.
Impose, eh? Funny choice of words.

Don't think so. Week 3 is just everything plus Strong Holds.

I could really use a teammate. Last two games I've played had literally 2 AFK players each. Anybody up for Slayer? Gold 1
Are the Saturday night MCC Throwdown games still gonna be a thing Clique, or are they just on hold now until H5 Beta ends?
I agree, but I also believe that isn't universal. Just a few posts up there's someone who reasonably doesn't seem to feel that way.
Idk what you're trying to say here, because the dude was clearly trying to use his personal experience as the linchpin in his main argument for pushing more power ups in Halo 5's beta. It's an argument you agree with, so I get the resistance, but how is me noting that his POV isn't universal telling him to stop feeling what he feels?
Woah
ok.
o-ok.
Was a fucking nightmare trying to play with jayrmed and others...
The whole UI/party/invite system is just.. god awful.
Pls bring back the 360. Really wish we got the 36"2" this gen.

This is a joke
To you.
That might not be what it's about to other people though and that's fine. Halo is about a lot of things.
I've never thought of the power ups as something that defined Halo. They were a part of it sure but they aren't the first thing that comes to mind when I think about what I love about Halo. I love the combat and sandbox of Halo. I love the variety at play. I love that I might get my ass kicked or I might rock the match not because my opponent was a higher level than me, but because of our skills.
That was actually your end of year bonus, grats!
