The ones in the beta, with everyone high giving each other and generally being silly- it made halo feel like a game again, instead of it being this intense simulator that tried really hard to be Halo 3. Wish we had those outros back and we could toggle them off at our choosing for the people who didn’t like them.
Yeah. No idea why everyone was against then: we aren’t Spartan-IIs or IIIs who were trained from the ages 6 (IIs) and 6-12 (IIIs) who are near-emotionless killing machines that push away their humanity. We’re IVs, adults turned into Spartans, of course they’re going to joke around and celebrate their little simulated victories.
Yeah I missed it too. I don’t know why it was such a big deal in the first place.
I dislike victory screens in general, so I prefer the brief glimpse/closeup of the opponents rather than the drawn-out rub it in victory screen.

I completely agree. You can see what you said in the cutscenes for spartan ops with fireteam majestic and them not being silent and near-emotionless.
What did these look like? Can someone link to a video so I can see?

Here’s a beta gameplay video. The outro is at 6:00 Halo 5 BETA Gameplay - Regret 23-4 (Halo 5: Guardians Beta Gameplay) - YouTube

Thanks. I don’t know how I feel about that…

“But all Spartans are emotionless husks of humans void of all character!” -Too many people after the beta.
I miss the outros too. They were fun and provided a nice cooling down effect.
Halo 4 and 5 have a proper canonical reason for multiplayer in that they are simulations for actual combat and also just being matches in general. Im sure that with its lack of seriousness that those characters engaging in these simulations can and will try to enjoy their victories.
Really did like the post game celebrations of the beta.
Honestly, for all the haters out there, 343 has much bigger things to change to make the current and future games more halo like. This shud have just been as is.

haha, yea, these haters seem to forget that we are now playing as spartan IVs, who have regular lives outside the armies instead of the “born to fight” approach the unsc took with the previous iterations of the spartan program.
now I didn’t play the beta but I’m curious… Why does the beta look better than the actual game? or is that just me?

It was in 720p, which left more room for processing the lighting and shaders and whatnot.

But it looks better… Why not just make it dark and gritty like the old ones…

The only dark and gritty one was reach, and parts of 3. Halo 1,2, and ODST had a very vibrant color scheme, even at night.

I can’t think of any of the games other than Reach actually looking gritty, aside from maybe ODST.

I don’t believe ODST counts as gritty when the color pallet was so vibrant and the night time parts had you focus on VISOR mode so everything was covered in green, blue, and red TRON lines

Well, without VISR activated, the textures looked fairly worn, though my memory might just be messing with me because I haven’t played ODST in a while.
Fair enough
