Hey all, I am not your typical Halo fan. Played day one, but never played MP till Halo 4…played One COD ever and Love Last Of Us MP more than any other…so I am not the typical demographic
Its a grenade fest - slow the respawn of these down. Its grenade throwing every time all the time.
Running - no issues. If I can run in real life I should be able to run in a fantasy setting like Halo
Feels Floaty - controls need some tweaking. Feel like I am fighting my gun a little. I seem to float when I jump for a moment too long, and setting 4 feels way over sensitive. I feel like I am dying a lot - not due to the other player’s skill, but my fighting the controls
Maps - only 2 right now? It gets old quick. The Two I’ve played are pretty fantastic.
Is this a Halo game? Hell yeah!!!
I am sure the fans here will find reasons to think I am a nutter, but this is just my take. Will I buy the full game? Yes, but only after people tell me the matchmaking is not a crime, like it is with MCC. I hope that 343i and MS have learned some hard lessons on matchmaking. Beta feels unbalanced but given the smaller population, I’ll look past it for now.
Halo 4 controls felt a little more solid to me at the moment. For those classic fans that think running is the ‘death of Halo’ will probably find little to love about this. But for the rest not living in the past, it should be cool!!!
Also, give a mute all option. Some people talk but say little

Especially the map Truth can get a little grenade spammy since there are so many inclines that allow you to bank a frag into a room. The moment an enemy loses his direct sight on you he usually tries to bank a frag around the corner he last saw you, or guesses where you’re running off to and bank a frag your way. Imagine the entire enemy team doing this with each 2 frags. That’s a total of 8 frags thrown your way in a short period of time.

True, but I rarely see people getting kills from this. At least in the matches I’ve played. It may just be I play with a bunch of players who haven’t gotten a hang of the grenade bounce. Mine never seem to land where I want them.
“Never played MP till Halo 4”
“Is this a Halo game? Hell yeah!!!”
I don’t really think you have the right to say that actually based on the fact you started in H4 sorry to say. Halo 4 wasn’t Halo. I think everyone who has played any other halo would agree. (Besides like… Halo wars I guess)

Like for real… some of us have been here since CE or Halo 2… that’s 10 years and more. You don’t know what a Halo game is because you never played a REAL Halo game.

I agree, I’ve gotten very few grenade kills. The blast radius seems very low.
I think the controls are great, sure they are abit more complex than previous halos with thursters , clamber ect, but just takes afew more games to get use to it. Once you do i feel the controls are fantastic, some of the best for a fps out there for a console.
The floaty thing has always been around in halo with jumping, but i think you might be refering without knowing to the hover ability new in halo 5. For some reason its defult switched on, i would recommend you switch it off, and change it to hold to hover. Makes things alot better, and imbh, hovering just seems kinda lame, probably be better off without it in the long run, but yeh that would probably be the floaty feeling you have going on
As for nades, they have always been kinda a spammy thing in the halo series, at least you can only carry 2 instead of 4 of each , so i think there fine. There no way as powerful as they have been previously, so i think there fine and dont really need changing. Any change to reduce the amount of damage willl prity much make them void of being useful at all.
Glad to see that slide is still being taken out of context and abused by people who believe they are “clever.”
