A flower which blooms on the battlefield
I was more talking of DMR and BR. The SMG was fine IMO and I can't remember using the AR. I'm glad the weapons are getting tweaked after feedback, though. That's good news.

And my complaints about the AI callouts are more to do with unaware players getting an awareness boost, as well as the system being potentially exploitable, since it's essentially pinging all the enemy players and letting you know where certain ones are.

Sure, sprinting has consequences and the no-health-recharge-while-sprinting thing is good, but IIRC it's still unlimited sprint. If bullets slowed down sprint speed and there was a limit on duration, I'd be fine with it being in.

And yeah, it does feel fast because of movement and abilities, but IMO sprint + thruster pack is more than enough. Clambering is overkill and it is way too forgiving on the distance you can grab.
The DMR and BR can easily be outgunned by the AR and SMG. Most of my kills were against people using the DMR or BR whilt using the SMG and AR.

AI callouts don't really do anything. There's so much happening that they were drowned out anyway. The option to turn them off is even better.

Sprinting isn't really an issue. You only sprint to get back into the action, and trying to sprint away will penalize you.
Plus base player speed has been increased, giving less incentive to sprint often.

This. I almost never sprinted  in the beta. Not only do your shields not recover but it reduces your reactivity because it takes a second for your weapon to be able to fire again.

The SMG was crazy powerful.  They nerfed it mid-beta, and it was still a beast.  I'm sure it'll get nerfed harder.  I'd acknowledge the SMG and AR if they just nuked their aim assists and bullet magnetisms.  They did it significantly, when you compare it to H4, but I think they can go further.

To be fair, Halo 5's aim assist and bullet magnetism is the smallest it's been in years, and the movement acceleration has been improved greatly for faster, more responsive movement/strafing.  I'm okay with the weapons being faster if they're harder to use.

I'd say the pacing of Halo hasn't been as good as the H5 beta's since Halo 3, personally.  It had so much more emphasis on communication and map control (rather than exploiting randomness and creating clusterfucks), which played such a big part into how drawn out, and thought out, the fights were.  The fights weren't drawn out so crudely (armor lock, camo sniping, etc...), either.

I found the callouts useless when compared to the information given by a team with mics.  I thought it pointed out the obvious anyways.  Maybe it'd be worse in a BTB setting, where hiding is a bit more common.

Halo 5 is the Republic Commando 2 I always asked for.
After seeing that Fred, Kelly, and Linda are in game along with the creative director for Republic Commando working on the game my interest immediately spiked.

no waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Here's hoping that the campaign blows Halo 4 out of the water. It already sounds amazing from that Gameinformer article. Sounds like something straight out of the novels with Blue Team and Chief at it again.

We always say to fight fire, you must use fire. This is wrong. Fighting fire with fire will leave scars and a new flame will rise. We must instead use water. It is the opposite of fire, it extinguishes the fire, it cools, it refreshes, it heals. We are made up of 70% water, we are not made up of 70% fire. Please practice what we truly are
