Posting this here ahead of the early access beta to make a dedicated thread to the bugs and discussion of Halo 5 before it goes full on with it’s main beta. If you do not have the Halo 5 Early Access Beta please refrain from posting misleading information or causing problems. This is a thread that will be dedicated to the discussion of features, weapons, maps, controls, mechanics, and bugs that will arise whilst gameplay occurs. Questions and Concerns are completely valid, however, if you would like to learn a bit about the Early Access whilst play testing is being done as well as have your concerns addressed.
Please Note:
All relevant data, bugs, topics, and other such issues that are of concern or note by the early access testers will be posted on the top post so that it becomes immediately available for all to see and read. Hopefully getting the attention of 343 for them to look into.
Issues (as of current):
-Controls and functionality feel a little…clunkier. Not as smooth as other Halo’s. -No way to back out of a lobby once searching for players. -[BUG] Weird glitch where the background flashes and then get booted, or can’t connect. -[BUG] Same issue as MCC where it will populate the lobby pretty quickly, up until the last player spot -[BUG] Random instance of spectator mode causing you to go flying up and out of the map. -[BUG] Grenades that are thrown at a wall will sometimes roll up the wall. -No way to look at your stats once you back out the post-game stat screen -[BUG] (One Instance) On the map ‘EMPIRE’ it carried over kill spree as though player hadn’t died. -[BUG] (One Instance) After finishing a game, being stuck in place only being able to look around. Basically in gameplay, but the game ended. - [BUG] (One Instance) On empire, near the center room below the two angled vents that lie between both sniper spawns. Players jump down once and the floor, while still there, becomes transparent and all the players could see was the underneath skybox for the floor for several seconds. - [BUG] (One Instance) During the intro and conclusion, the Spartans sometimes diffuse from the center player and then merge back together after the animation. - [BUG] Preview Members still cannot play after putting in codes. - Kill cam hides medals at time of death. No confirmation of kill or assist. - Kill cam mostly inaccurate at times. - Spartan customizations are too barebones comparitive to Halo: Reach and Halo 4. - Recovery Speed after Running Charge should be faster, leaves players too open for attack. A charge from thrusters shouldn’t affect the Spartan that much since Ground Pound causes you to get up and back into your cam almost instantaneously.
=========================================================================================
Concerns (as of current): [NOTE: Concerns are issues that are mostly opinion and are subject for debate]
-Kill cam is a little too unreliable. It either needs to extend it’s time or be taken out. (Edit: changed ‘quick’ to ‘unreliable’ based on another post) -The music at the end of the match doesn’t seem on par with normal Halo music. - Lack of classic halo menu music. -The SMG is way too strong. -Not enough distinction between the BR and DMR -AR has a way too quick kill time. -The charge beat down thing is useless and just gets in the way when you are trying to play. -Maps are way to spread out. -Base movement speed is too slow. -Jump height is too low. -Zooming in is almost required. -No crouch jumping. -Grenades feel way to powerful. -Shield’s recharge time is way to long. -Scope is too long, specially the Sniper,DMR,BR -No medals after finish a game, we can’t look at what we won. -Ability to turn Spartan Chatter On/Off -Personalized Custom Configuration of the control scheme -Character setup area is too dark, not able to see much of your Spartan when setting it up. -Controller sensitivity is off. -Human sniper second scope will not appear when scoping in quick. -Human Battle Rifle red scope needs a redesign removing the horns. - BR needs to sound more like a burst. - Ground pound is rare enough to get, the speed from apex to ground is too slow. (Build up time is fine). - Friendly Grenade explosions launch players in various directions sometimes very high/far. - Snipers in Empire doesn’t feel right, Empire is more a medium to close range combat zone. (May be better with Rockets or Shotgun)
Bumping once more to keep at the top of the thread. We are coming down to the Early Beta’s (or as my friend strangely yet so perfectly calls it; the ‘Alpha-Beta’) drop soon.
Only 8 hours left until I can play! I’m so glad it starts right after I get home from school.
I’ll be posting lots of videos on my YouTube channel, FirestormPlasma.

Since the invitation does not have a time outlined on it and 343i, along with Microsoft, have not stated a time of when this becomes available? We will just have to wait and see.

I like to be proactive and plan ahead for situations; Either way, it helps out. =3
I was curious as to the actual start time like the others in the post. I do know it should be up by 1pm PT because they are going to begin streaming on IGN at that time. So everyone can expect it by then, but if it goes live any earlier IDK. Someone give a shout out if they have any more info.

It would be good to note that they also have to download the beta and there’s not an exact size out yet… so I’m sure they’ll drop it early enough for people to download and play before IGN gets their hands on it… or they won’t and it’ll be 1pm PT before we even see the codes… which is kinda odd… but that aside… we should be grateful that they are giving us this access early, so i’ll sit here and be happy and wait…
