I was quite pleased.


Though I do hope it is an option on/ off for custom games.

Yeah, me too. Just thought it would be funny/relevant to current events.

I really enjoyed the beta (despite me only playing 10 games, I didn't want to ruin the experience too much for when the game releases). Even if it doesn't play like a traditional Halo game, it's an exceptionally fun game in it's own right.

I enjoyed it too, but I hae up after 10 because I despise midship and every game was just that. Plus 4v4 isn't my style, I'm more about the vehicle and big team gameplay. I really hope we get invasion back, that is my favourite gametype from any Halo to date.

Invasion was so fire in Reach. With a large party it can be so epic. I heard that BTB was being taken out of 5...

But I always preferred FFA. Unless I'm running with a team I deem competent (which is rare, my friends suck at Halo and I'm uncharacteristically good at it) I don't take it seriously.

Frankie confirmed that we have some cools shit for BTB later on in the future. Honestly, I can see the larger vehicle maps taking advantage of spartan abilities way more than crowded arena maps- I never even used the ground Pound once on any map because I never got to a a position to be able to use it effectively. Larger maps can offer more verticality in their design and take avant age if clamber and so forth, especially if aircraft are involved.

Yeah, you're right. AA's are definitely more suited for BTB than classic slayer. Look at Reach, or Halo 4 (without the Mantis). Both really fun, good BTBs that would really benefit from more emphasis. I can just imagine hopping out of a Hornet that's about to explode, clambering onto a ledge of a building, jumping off and ground pounding the enemies that were shooting at you.

I think having 32v32 matches would be the one thing 343 could do to make Halo relevant again. But hey, I'm not Frankie.

All I'm saying is there better be some fantastic revolutionary new BTB mode, perhaps at least 16 vs 16, space battles, etc... Or campaign has to be spectacular, because from playing the beta it felt like I was playing Crysis 2 from 2011. And we need firefight back as well. If we get the same old arena maps, and the standard 8vs8 it just won't feel current gen even with the graphics.

It's one of the main reasons.
the main reasons are bad communication between the devs and the playerbase, the move towards class-based gameplay, and getting dropped from mlg. sprint is just part of the move towards class-based gameplay

LOL You have literally no idea what you're talking about when it comes to multiplayer.
What a completely pathetic and baseless assumption.

Nope. You support all the elements that have destroyed Halo's multiplayer.

You're a casual player. That's fine, but don't act like you know what's best for Halo.
Supporting equal starts and non-random gameplay, and dismissing custom Loadouts, random gameplay, and armor abilities is supporting the elements that "destroyed" Halo?

I'm confused.

You're gonna have a bad time if you think sprint is going to get axed completely.  That'd mean redesigning a ton of the maps to work around a continuous speed, axing abilities like shoulder charge and slide, plus 343 would have to be convinced that their gameplay is still "contextualized". 

I have a feeling they'll nerf it harder, though.  They already have it so your sprint is cancelled if you get shot during the first second or two of sprinting: maybe they'll increase that time.

lolk
I apologize, but does Halo 5 not follow what many consider to be the core staples of Halo?

Equal Starts, Map Control, emphasis on guns grenades melee, accurate and balanced weapons, non-randomized elements.

Honestly, I don't know why I continue. Because it's quite evident that you are going to continually point and laugh at everyone who doesn't share your exact opinion. Which is quite preposterous, because if you haven't noticed, I have yet to dismiss your opinion.

Though, truthfully, I'm edging towards categorizing you into the Halo 2/3 bandwagon. Which is ironic because those aren't very good examples of what Halo should be. Who knows, I could be wrong. Maybe the key to success for Halo is having casualized as shit gameplay and random spread.

I digress.

:^)
If you note, I did not specifically single out Halo 2. I mentioned both 2 and 3. However, whereas two lacks the random spread (only on its precision weapons), it is heavily weighted down by a hilarious amount of aim assist and bullet magnetism.

Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3 have excellent multiplayer. Note how MLG dropped Halo afterwards.
Halo CE has excellent multiplayer (even then, compare it to PC Arena shooters, and you realize that Halo CE is casualized as shit for an Arena shooter.). Halo 2 and 3 does/did not. They were mediocre at best thanks to the laughable hand holding and randomness. Emphasis on the "at best".

MLG dropping Halo doesn't really mean anything because games are put on the circuit based on how much money MLG is payed by advertisers and publishers. I don't have a full comprehension of the MLG circuit, but the research I've put in indicates that.

Of course, I'm not denying that Halo Reach and Halo 4 had a base multiplayer that was unsatisfactory and unfit for eSports.
