If 343i didn’t prioritize the graphics and frame rate, and produced yet another a 720p/1080p, 30fps Halo, but with split-screen, well basically every other FPS franchise would laugh their -Yoink- off, because Halo is the godfather of all modern, post-Halo FPSes, excluding the new DOOM, and if 343i can’t produce a solid game with good graphics and framerate, they would be ridiculed, the laughingstock of the gaming industry.

Wait, you want 343i to make the beta, which was at 720p, 30 fps, to be at 1080p, 30 fps, with better textures, overall greater environment detail, and overall lighting and shadows, with split-screen. This is a HORRIBLE idea. Mainly because, if that was the case, your Xbox would literally crash everytime you booted up the game. Ok, maybe not crash, but the frame rate would be absolutely -Yoink-. You can’t have both split-screen, and better graphics, one of them has got to go.

> 4. Early H5/H5 Beta didn’t have nearly as much content as it does when it released, and presently has. If the Xbox One could even run the game by your ambitions the game would be ever so -Yoinking!- choppy, making it nearly unplayable. The beta on the other hand had about, 6 maps. The game currently has over a dozen Arena maps, 5 Warzone maps, which are huge, and 4 WZA maps, which do have some varying content, other then the fact that they cut out half the map, they have different lighting, buildings, etc. And thats not even including the Forge textures. So tell me, how can 343i lock the framerate at 30, make the game 1080p, produce better graphics, on many more huge maps. They -Yoinking!- can’t.

> TL;DR Making the game 1080p, 30fps, better graphics, with split-screen, is -Yoinking!- ridiculous. Brightness setting is there for a reason.
- Other games had 1080p and 60fps with splitscreen while we were stuck with 720p and 30fps and were they laughing?
- Halo is not the godfather of modern first person shooters.DOOM and Quake were.Do you have any idea how similar Halo was to those two?Halo even used and still uses a massively modified engine from Quake 3.The same goes for CoD.
- The highest brightness they had in the beta was the same as halo 5’s current level 2 brightness.
- The halo 5 Beta eventually went to 810-1080p with 40-50 fps and had far better graphics then halo 5 does now.Was it choppy?No.The textures actually were textures.Not some matte color plastered onto a block.
- Are you really attributed lack of content to the games ability to run?You are sorely mistaken.Other games like CoD have 1080p and 60fps with splitscreen.It is not choppy and the Xbox has zero problems running it.
- The only time Spartans grunt is when they charge and even then it doesn’t always happen.
- The graphics were downgraded for a locked 60fps which was a bad idea.It was even built into the engine.If the framerate drops then even player models start to bug the - Yoink - out.Grass disappears in heated combat and textures look worse then halo CE if half the people on the map fire a projectile weapon.
- I don’t really care about it, but I’m saying it could have been done easily.
I also uploaded some more Beta gameplay on my channel.
