Improve Halo 5 "theater" experience

The theater mode in Halo 5 is extremely outdated and really clunky. I think it’s overdue for a major upgrade!

  1. Allowing players to bring other players into certain theater games granting party leader full control of the film controls but allowing other players to watch from the multi angle view. Also give the ability to grant other players control over the theater mid film. This would be very helpful for teams trying to study film and make strats easier online!

  2. Adding a rewind button for fine tuning and finding a certain spot in the film. The “Skip back” is highly annoying because its goes back around 30 seconds which is completely unnecessary.

  3. Ability to watch the game from an “birds eye view” with the player highlights and service tag above their heads in order to watch the WHOLE field and look and each persons particular movements.

  4. Adding the overall stats and reports to the film reports, so you can pinpoint exactly which film you want to view, rather then having to start it up, wait for it to load, and then exiting because it was the other Rig match.

  5. The ability to recommend film to friends, that would be cool.

They have never even addressed their broken theater so it’s definitely not going to get updated or fixed. They want you to use Xbox DVR. Double tap the home button and press X to record or Y to take a screen shot. I wish their theater worked though because it made miss what would have been one of the best clips ever because I didn’t use the Xbox DVR at the time and when I went back into the theater it didn’t record what happened and I was so yoinked I about smashed my Xbox with a sledgehammer.

Did you actually smash your console to pieces? Don’t you think that’d be a bit much?

That is why I said I ABOUT… Why do people not read entire statements instead of just bits and pieces? :slightly_smiling_face:

You want them to add extra bells and whistles to theater mode? I’d be happy if they just fixed all of its glitches

Yes, the theater mode needs to be a lot better and also needs to be fixed! It’s ridiculous that 343 won’t fix something in there own game.

It’s extremely outdated, this theater would be great for Halo 3 but no way acceptable for halo 5 they need to address this and update it asap!

I’ve been asking for number 2 for quite a while now. Also, 4 would most definitely be a nice touch.

I’m just saying bro, they are never going to fix theater in Halo 5.

Yes, I agree. We need a proper theater. H3’s theater was near perfect. Can we improve upon it’s model? Or at the very least replicate it?

I used theater for the first time yesterday to go back and get a clip of me getting my first killionaire (yay), and I had no issue with it. Granted, it could use a little fine tuning, but it did what I wanted it to do, so no issue there. I also used it to grab evidence of a guy doing that core glitch, worked there too. Only issue I had with that is that it didn’t capture all the active players in the game, but I chalked that up to people quitting out or something. It’s not something major, in my book.

Thats understandable but thats something you couldve done easier with the xbox DVR option in terms of the glitch thats something that even H3 theater could do. This post is mainly targeting the players who want an in depth use of it. Im not saying its unusable im saying it could use an update. Like in CoDBO2 had an awesome theater that is perfect for all kinds of gamers. It’ll record your killionaire and find that glitcher and just do more with more options!
