The game is absolutely awesome. It’s very balanced, new, fresh, and interesting. I seriously don’t know what there isn’t to love about this game! It runs well, it plays well, the guns are great, the maps are awesome, and it’s something new FINALLY!
Sorry, but halo has been a bit stagnant with Halo 4 being the first game to really try something new. They did some things well (awesome maps) but loadouts and perks were a bust. Now power weapons are back and everyone is on the same playing field. Play is faster, and it’s just addicting and really fun.
The best part is, WE HAVE MCC AND THIS NOW! So, whatever type of halo you want to play, you can. You want to play Halo 1? Fine! Halo 2? You have two ways to play it now! Halo 3 or 4? To your heart’s content. Now we will have Halo 5, which is its own game through and through, and you can choose whatever halo experience you want to have…all on two discs.
I also don’t understand why everyone is so weird about the controls. They felt as natural as can be the first time I got in a match. I think Halo 5 is delivering like crazy, and this is just the beta a year away from release. The only gripe I have is that it’s hard to see weapons on the ground.
I love the team chatter that points out what sections of the maps are under attack. I love the dash move that can get you out of a firefight in a pinch. I love being able to grab ledges and climb them. I love that aiming down the sights isn’t nearly as much of an advantage as it is in COD or other games.
THIS IS THE ULTIMATE FPS! It takes a little bit from every popular shooter and fits it all into a very distinctive Halo package.
Haters be -Yoink!-, I think Halo 5 is outshining MCC for me even though MCC is finally working now. Can’t wait for next year.
AR and SMG are terribly, terribly overpowered (why did someone kill me with an AR from over 20 feet away before I could hit him three times with my BR?
Maps are cluttered, certain aspects feel COD-esque.
There are serious concerns

How much does 343i pay you to make posts like this? MCC working? Halo 5 the ultimate FPS?! hahahahaha
I’m raping these kids in game so I don’t care what they said I’m Yoinking! on kids using the ar

The maps are very cluttered. …I agree
-Yoink- this game it’s not halo.ads sprinting dashing not at all what comes to mind for halo. Makes me think more of cod.
Who knows? People have different opinions shame some of these are bad ones or people living in the past. However an opinion is an opinion and i respect all of them.

People who just want to hate or troll will do that.
Other people that are convinced by those, or want to be cool and jump in the bandwagon go into the game and blame every little thing on the game sucking.

They aren’t paying me -Yoink-. Look at my history. I’ve been bashing their awful handling of MCC for a while now. It is working finally though for me.
Sorry, but I’m having a lot of fun playing halo 5. I love the movement, I like it’s a little quicker paced, and it’s just freaking fun. Sorry you’re so butthurt that it’s not the same halo it’s been for 12 years

Because you’re only 20 feet away, hardly mid-range which is what the BR is more tuned for. BR and DMR now are more tuned for anti-sniping and mid-range engaging, they’re no longer the go-to weapons for every situation. Tis a good thing, every weapon has a use, every weapon has a purpose.
Beta is getting all this hate because the community, despite their hatred of CoD for being same-y, is notoriously averse to any sort of change. If 343 listened to 90% of the people hating, we would just end up with Halo 1 or 2 re-released every year with new maps and graphics.
Also, complaining about weapons being OP or underpowered…
IT IS A BETA FOR GOODNESS SAKES! A BETA A YEAR AHEAD OF RELEASE! So much will change. This is just a taste of what they’re trying to do with this game.
For a beta, this is probably the smoothest beta I’ve ever played in terms of working well. Hell, it works better than MCC did at launch haha. I just don’t get why everyone fears change so much. We already have all four halos on one disc. Now we have this. Why would you want the same game all over again when we just got a package of four halos that are all pretty similar?
What hate? All i see are people in full blown damage control.

I’ve seen plenty of people hating the new movement additions and zoom and all that on tons of websites. I think it’s all fun and fresh for halo. Halo needed these things and I think they are handling them tastefully.
They still have a year to tweak the game and perfect it. If this is where they are at right now, I think it’s going to be a beast of a game. We haven’t even seen big maps, vehicles, or the campaign. Can’t wait.

So no game can have sprinting unless it’s COD? Do you think super-spartans can’t -Yoinking!- run?! Come on give me a break
I have just acepted the fact that the Halo fanbase" is actualy just a bunch of people who in reality hate Halo. The same people who love to bash Reach and Halo 4 for not being clones of Halo 2 and 3 also constantly bash Halo 2 and 3 for not being Halo CE and then they bash Halo CE for not being Halo 2 and 3.
They also bash 343 for every non-issue with the games and be for Bungie to come back and at the same time hate on literaly everything Bungie has ever done untill now.
Just enjoy the game and give your feedback.

I’m accustomed to the skill gap associated with a range, aim weapon (BR) versus a no-skill, hold RT weapon (assault rifle).
That’s what Halo was to me (and many others) and what differentiated it from so many other FPS games.
So yes, sue me, but I AM NOT happy that they are making it so in several CQB situations, I can’t just 4-shot kids with my BR and, instead, I now have to spray fire an AR to survive. That isn’t as fun to me, nor has it been what defined the Halo experience.

So it works for you, and you assume “MCC is finally working now”? That’s not how that works.
And it isn’t an issue of having fun playing Halo 5. I’m enjoying it too. But I don’t play halo to hold down RT and spray fire with an assault weapon, I play it to 4 shot kids with a BR and use my map control AND skilled shooting to win games. I will go play COD if I just want to run around a map laying down spread fire. I don’t want to lose out on the unique-Halo experience I got from prior games where CQB wasn’t just about holding down RT

You are so spot on. Seems like they hate if it stays the same and hate if it’s different. I hope they just don’t become so bad and kill off this amazing franchise. As long as they keep buying the games and hating them afterwards so I can keep enjoying them haha.
This game is so good though. I truly don’t understand why people must whine about everything.
Halo 5 guardians beta is great, but 343 needs to put your rank with your rank. This is because people who are not experienced ruin your gameplay and decrease the rank you are everytime you lose the match your in due to them. I feel this would work for everyone, because the matches would be equal and not have 4 gold 3 players against 3 bronze and 1 gold 3 player.
