Halo 5 Guardians beta discussion thread 12/29-1/18

Don't know if this is wanted or needed but figured I'd start it.
Only played one game but:
Liked the flow of the game. Thought map was too dark and didn't like the boost thruster pack.
A bunch of minor things I wish they wouldn't have done but they it felt pretty good. ADS is really weird in halo

I've been reading some stuff on Waypoint for the last 20 minutes or so.
A lot of people didn't like the automated teammate callouts, your shield not charging when you sprint, and the speed and pace of the game (said it was too quick)
I know you only played one game, but what did you think about these things?
Moved this over from the other thread so it could all be together
I played a game on my lunch break and a buddy called me right when I started and didnt hang out until the game was pretty much over so didnt really hear the call outs.
Didnt notice the shield thing. The game was a bit fast. only time I really noticed it was when i would go for a beat down. It just seemed off in that way. I thought it was a little fast but didnt bother me game 1

From the videos I've seen, it looks very fast, but I've heard a lot of good things. I'll be downloading when I get home in an hour or so and will probably be doing that all night (fingers crossed that there won't be server issues)

Played it. Its a lot of fun. I like that the game has evolved over years instead of having the same play

I had early access and I really like it. The shields dont reset while you sprint so it keeps sprinting in check. The thruster takes a while to get used to as does floating while jumping and scoping but the key is to use all these things to take control of the map. There is a learning curve and yes its faster but once you get used to it it feels like a halo.
Only complaint that I had was the sniper felt weird. I'll play more this week.
I'm looking forward to that breakout game type next week.

I didn't even get the sniper in the 1 gsme I played. I will probably be playing a bunch tonight. I hated the controller layout so gonna mess with that.
The game plays faster for sure but I don't think it's too fast. Actually played some halo4 with a couple buddies over Xmas BC that was all they ever played and it was pretty fun. Game looked good on xbone. But anyways the speed wasn't too bad. Wish it didn't have sprint and thrusters but can't do anything about to so no reason to bitch. Just gonna try to play the game and enjoy it for what it is
Also it took me maybe 4 mins total from when I started search for players to being in a game.

Yeah it sucks to see the long waits carry over.
I was against sprint and all the abilities till I saw some one jump, thruster, then scope in( which causes you to float in the air) then clamber to make a jump I thought was impossible, pull out the sword and get the DK. It was at that point I saw why they added all that and made the maps bigger

Yeah like I said i only played 1 game and was actually on the phone with a buddy the whole time so im not gonna bash anything yet. I want 18-6 so cant be that bad

Did anybody watch the sprint series on halo channel?
It was pretty cool to see what went into making the beta.
I want to see more about the campaign, me and my friends have been playing campaigns and they are soo much fricking fun and hard as frick too

Is anyone else getting an outrageous amount of assists? I can't buy a kill. I'm shooting and meleeing players and still only getting assists.
I just went 3-14-7. I used assault and meleed the other team 3 times and each time it was an assist. It's mind blowing that I'm not getting credit for kills. Nothing seems to be working consistently for me.

I hate you 343.

My buddy is a big Halo fan and he blew up my phone with how much he hates the new MP.
Posted on 12/29/14 at 9:15 pm to Scruffy
They should have rehashed the same shite like CoD....
Posted on 12/29/14 at 10:17 pm to GoCrazyAuburn
Sure it does, it's just not the same exact thing.

The game has major problems. It's only the beta but the problems 343 will refuse to fix. Sprint still sucks. Autos are way to powerful. If a gun is extremely easy to use you shouldn't be able to melt people with it. ADS is awful. Thruster isn't bad. Clamber is a waste as well as ground pound. Spartan chatter is terrible. The game just holds your hand every step of the way

I don't like how they call out the countdown for power weapons. They're catering to new people. A big part of 1-3 and Reach was learning the maps, weapon placement, and timing of weapon drops.

I'm ok with sprint, but I don't like the unlimited sprint/shields won't recharge balance. I wish it was like it was in Reach.

ADS is awful
Agreed.

I like the thruster, but I haven't really tried to use ground pound yet.
I like it for the most part so far. I went 141-98 last night, so I did alright. It's just gonna take some getting used to. I don't know if it's a game I'm gonna play religiously though like all the pre-4 games.
Posted on 12/30/14 at 9:38 am to Indigold
Yeah. The call outs to weapon drops is shitty. Not a fan of ads.
Posted on 12/30/14 at 9:43 am to Indigold
I went about even last night. Had some really good games and really bad games. Team balancing was real bad (I know it is just the beta). I agree with the auto complaints. They have way too much range and accuracy imo. Sprint is still iffy on if it will respond. The game looked great. ADS for AR and whatnot is awful.
The midship remake looked real good. I liked it. Wasn't a fan of the Empire map. Doesn't fit my play style real well.
