This is fantastic news.

Whose calling that the servers aren't going to work. Considering they still haven't fixed the shit show that is MCC.

I can confirm the servers are working fine. In fact, they'll be even better since I was actually a part of the stress test.

I got to play a little of it through the Xbox Preview program. Its basically Halo 4 on steroids with a couple of small twists.

No armour abilities, no loadouts, no perks, no ordnance.

It's very different from Halo 4.

Doesn't have perks
doesn't have ordinance drops
doesn't have jetpack

It mainly comes down to ADS and sprint.  Everything else is fairly minor.

The "ADS" is literally a fancy animation for scoping in. It functions the exact same way.

I would consider that Thruster boost to dodge like a ninja, ground pound from the sky, and Sprint to be abilities, but one everyone has. No loadouts thankfully! However some of their weapon placements were horrible! Why the hell does the Empire map have two Snipers!? It would have made more sense if both were shotguns instead. Or on that Midship remake map, why have DMRs and BRs, when the DMR would be one poor ass choice to use?

The game definitely feels far more faced paced than Halo 4.. almost to the point where you feel disoriented at times or even down right confused. Also, both maps I played on, the Blue team blended in WAY too much with their environment.

Regardless of my thoughts, I managed to score Onyx rank after my ten matches. I just have mixed feelings right now.

This has been a thing in Halo games for years, and that's not going to make any difference at all.

You could increase precision of automatic weapons by zooming in the other Halo's?

In the Halo games which had zoom on automatics, yeah.

Meaning H2A and nothing else, but still. Regardless considering automatics have always operated on a bloom-ish system, it makes sense that a zoom feature would have made said automatics more accurate at ranges [reticule size stays the same but covers a smaller area of the screen than hip fire].

Now the question is: Are automatics with zoom features a good addition to Halo in the first place?

Ayy that shows a very slight spread tightening on the BR too, now that's not good

I wasn't specifically referring to automatics.

Well it doesn't function the same.  It takes up more of your screen now, and allows automatic weapons to be more accurate at medium range.
