Hey guys, just curious about whether people would like to see the game delayed for quality. Considering the issues with the MCC I think that pushing it back further could make things look much better, especially if we keep providing feedback and working with 343.
While I did enjoy the beta I think that pushing Halo 5 back would send a message that more needs to be done.
Hell another beta in late spring/early summer could help decide that.

I certainly had my qualms with the beta**,** primarily the matchmaking (which will definitely get better.) If Halo 5’s matchmaking is as smooth as Destiny’s in terms of finding a match then I’ll have no problems. Though I struggle with maintaining a connection since my router is shared with my family and they eat up the bandwidth, especially since they’re closer to the router. However that is my own problem.
I just feel like Halo 5 is twitch based now and we don’t have a lot of opportunities to fight back if someone is a bit faster than you. Plus while the balance to Sprinting is clever I prefer Sprinting being on a cooldown. Not a fan of the speed of Spartans when they aren’t sprinting either. In addition, I’m not a big fan of super fast gameplay for MP, it’s a bit frustrating.
I would like to see it pushed back to Spring or Summer of 2015.
I know it was a beta and there is a long way to go regardless but I just have an uneasy feeling. Maybe I’m being overly-paranoid.
First: MCC has a ton of issues because 1.) It was built on a lower budget in a shorter amount of time. 2.) It is running several different engines at once. 3.) 343i didnt make the game by themselves. It was mostly outsourced to several different companies and clearly some wires were crossed effectively making it a giant puzzle with ragged edges and pieces in the wrong spot.
Secondly, the beta proved Halo 5 doesnt suffer the same issues, it just needs compensation for lag by allowing region selection for MM efficency like what Reach had.
Not to mention the game is nearly a year off, why delay it when it already has a ton of tme to be worked on?
