Halo 5 beta is very addicting!!

I’ve been playing Halo since it came out for the Xbox and so I hold this series very close to my heart. I rank it higher than the Legend of Zelda. I haven’t had so much fun playing online since Halo 3. I broke my ankle like 3 weeks ago and this beta has really kept my sanity. Thank you 343 because I know you guys are trying your hardest to give us a great game and through the beta I’m already hooked! I never really post on here but I do come on here and read almost every post. It saddens me that some of the people that call themselves true fans can be huge jerks at times. I remember when this community was very uplifting and didn’t always “complain” for lack of a better word. Sorry for my rant guys I just wanted to let 343 know I’m super stocked for Halo 5. Well see you spartans on the Battlefield :smiley:

Yea it really is. I find that this Halo is the first Halo since 2007 to actually require people to work as a team to ensure victory at a constant rate.

This section of the Fall of Reach definitely sum up my Halo 5’s experience for me. Teamwork is so valuable in this game.
John got to the top, grabbed the bell, and rang it three times. He then clasped the steel pole and slid all the way to the ground, falling into a pile of cushions.
He got up and ran smiling all the way to the Chief Petty Officer. John crossed the finish line and gave a victory cry. “I was first,” he said, panting.
Mendez nodded and made a check on his clipboard.
John watched as the others made it and up rang the bell then raced across the finish line. Kelly and Sam had trouble. They got stuck in a line to get to the bell as everyone bunched up at the end.
They finally rang the bell, slid down together . . . but they crossed the finish line last. They glared at John.
He shrugged.
“Good work, Trainees,” Mendez said, and he beamed at them all. “Let’s get back to the barracks and chow down.”
The children, covered in mud and leaning on each another, cheered.
“—all except team three,” Mendez said, and looked at Sam, Kelly, and then John.
“But I won,” John protested. “I was first.”
“Yes, you were first,” Mendez explained, “but your team came in last.” He then addressed all the children. “Remember this: you don’t win unless your team wins. One person winning at the expense of the group means that you lose.”
