Will the classic scope/zoom be an option at least?

I don't want to have half my screen obstructed by the weapon every time I zoom. The classic scope looks much better, much more elegant. I really hope it's still an option.

I agree, looks cluttered especially since some of the scopes have a bunch of holo info pop-ups on top of the tunnel vision nature of ADS.

Theres a game mode like GoW multiplayer. One life per round, eliminate the other team.

Finally, we got a chance to try our first match of the new Crossfire mode on the Breakout arena map.

In Crossfire, two teams of four fight to wipe out the opposing team before time runs out. Each player has one life per match. The first team to win five matches, takes the game.

The map we played on was inspired by real life competitive paintball fields, Lee said. To further amp up the action, Spartans have less shields in this mode, he said. Because the map is relatively small and slightly maze-like, the gameplay tended to be incredibly intense, especially when coupled with the new Spartan moves.

info about new sword.

The quick match gave us a chance to adjust to some of the new Spartan moves, like sliding and the ground pound. It also gave me my first chance to wield the Prophet's Bane, the Halo 5 take on the energy sword. The Prophet's Bane has an enhanced run speed and lunge distance, the developers told me. Most importantly, it still allows you to smack down enemies up close and personal.

 

[superNESjoe]

Kinda looks like a forerunner.

Please no

I like this.

That was an interesting ending.

 

[BTM]

Told Stinkles that 343 was going to drive the Halo series into the ground.

His response, "lol, really?"

Yeah, really.

Have you played the beta? Share your thoughts please.

I agree, looks cluttered especially since some of the scopes have a bunch of holo info pop-ups on top of the tunnel vision nature of ADS.

My first impression is the same, it feels a little cluttered. But I'm willing to give it a chance and let myself get acclimated. I'm sure if enough people ask for the option during the beta, there's a chance we could get it.

 

[Webhead]

The colonel looks like Jim Carrey. Can't unsee that.

 

[soultron]

I'll ask again Stinkles:

Will there be a dedicated home/website for Halo 5 beta feedback?

Ex: H5betafeedback.com or something.

You'll probably have better luck PMing him. He's probably very busy checking all of the H5/Halofest threads right now, speaking frankly.

 

[enzo_gt]

That was okay. Looks like Nightfall is going to be a slow drip though.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Have you played the beta? Share your thoughts please.

What about Halo 4?

 

[clav]

Halo: Nightfall is basically Doom Halo Edition?

 

[Doukou]

That was okay. Looks like Nightfall is going to be a slow drip though.

IF that was the next episode only I feel it would be good.

 

[malfcn]

Dat Consulting Producer.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Nightfall was better than early reviews had me believe. Looking forward to future episodes. I actually really like Locke!

 

[Slixshot]

Yo, the reviews about the premiere were bullshit. That was very enjoyable imo.

 

[Ninjician]

Have you played the beta? Share your thoughts please.

I will never play the Beta, or Halo 5 for that matter.

Looks like trash.

 

[Gnome Scat]

That was okay. Looks like Nightfall is going to be a slow drip though.

Nice non-CGI visuals, though.

 

[Vire]

Halo Nightfall: "It wasn't offensive" - Vire

Put that on the back of the box.

 

[BTM]

What about Halo 4?

what about it?

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Nightfall: A lot of the effects were bad, but the costumes/props/sets looked good. I enjoyed it for a first episode. Interested to see what happens next.

 

[rokkerkory]

nightfall isnt bad not great but not bad so far

 

[egg mcmuffin with lettuce]

What about Halo 4?

Because that looked just like halo 4?

 

[BlackGhost]

Fuck, missed the end of nightfall

 

[Einchy]

So why were they beating up the Didact.

pls respond frankie

 

[danwarb]

Off to a better start that FUD.

 

[superNESjoe]

Reading compliments about Nightfall make me feel like I'm in some crazy Twilight Zone episode.

 

[Dub117]

Next sode in a week?

 

[CloudyTuba]

So Frankles, how'd it go tonight? Feelin good?

 

[killer rin]

Well, I enjoyed that. Can't wait for the second episode... When are these things coming out again?

 

[Gnome Scat]

So why were they beating up the Didact.

I thought that was Ultron.

 

[trixx]

nightfall only comes on xbox?

 

[Sydle]

I will never play the Beta, or Halo 5 for that matter.

Looks like trash.

Then why are you in here?

 

[Regret Upon Approval]

Theres a game mode like GoW multiplayer. One life per round, eliminate the other team.

I think you could play that in past Halo games, at least with custom games. So it is a named gamemode now?

My first impression is the same, it feels a little cluttered. But I'm willing to give it a chance and let myself get acclimated. I'm sure if enough people ask for the option during the beta, there's a chance we could get it.

If the ADS must stay, at least ensure it is sufficiently close to your "face", wide and no cluttering with those holo overlays.

Does the AR even have an ADS thing?

 

[TacticalFox88]

Love the footage.

But Frankie, please PLEASE tell me the the gun sounds are placeholders. The AR sounded GODLY in 4. I miss it.

 

[HiredN00bs]

Then why are you in here?

Because, like many, he used to be a big fan.

 

[CaptainSlow]

I will never play the Beta, or Halo 5 for that matter.

Looks like trash.

Also, Nightfall was surprisingly decent, especially after the reviews of it. I'll definitely at least check out the next episode. Dat Xbox Entertainment Studios in the credits though...

 

[Pop]

Looks fun as fuck to be honest. Glad they are moving forward.

Hell yeah!

I take back everything I said, H5 looks amazing.

 

[Chezzymann]

Is the beta footage archived anywhere?

 

[Ninjician]

Then why are you in here?

Because I was a Halo fan.

Of course I'm interested. It's like NASCAR fans, only when they see a car crash, killing all their favorite drivers.

Yep, it's like that.

 

[JLeack]

For those of you who want it to play like Halo from 10 years ago, there's always the Halo Collecion. If Halo 5 felt like Halo of 2001 I think it'd have no chance of making waves.

 

[xalener]

why can't they just make good puppets and shit that look real that they can keep using for no extra cost instead of cg shots that gets half the love they should?

Love the footage.

But Frankie, please PLEASE tell me the the gun sounds are placeholders. The AR sounded GODLY in 4. I miss it.

I'm counting on it. Remember the BR sound from that first ever footage of Halo 4?

 

[egg mcmuffin with lettuce]

the fuck were the chairs for? I thought there was gonna be a live halo 5 match. fuck off xbox. off to play mcc now.

 

[The Antitype]

The conversations between Locke and Arbiter are going to have my bass channels working overtime.

I do like the fact that we're getting a black (african-american? Does america still exist in Halo?) Spartan. I mean, it's obviously not a game-changing feature, but it is a nice touch of diversity.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Nightfall's shody in the "action" scenes and dialog but the rest was pretty good. kept me interested 25 minutes passed TMCC release. Locke's eh pretty cool guy.

Looking forward to seeing the rest. Overall, optimistic for the future of Halo.

 

[Vire]

Cool little stream. They showed more of Halo 5 than I anticipated, so that was nice.

 

[jtar86]

Told Stinkles that 343 was going to drive the Halo series into the ground.

His response, "lol, really?"

Yeah, really.

Wow! Super helpful and constructive. I'm sure he appreciates the feedback.

 

[Random17]

Nightfall was not as bad as the reviewers said it was. Acting felt dodgy at times.

The Elite walking into the mall actually wasn't as bad as I thought. He didn't exactly walk on the streets; he took an underground access tunnel.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Kind of an unceremonious end, but all the content was great.

 

[rrc1594]

So why were they beating up the Didact.

pls respond frankie

LMAO

 

[rokkerkory]

pistol looks to be powerful?
