Here’s a long interview of Josh Holmes regarding various elements (Mutiplayer, HCS, Requisition packs, custom games, forge…) of H5, with a wide load of information: link.
And here are complementary information regarding Warzone, which will feature 6 maps at launch: link
A few samples of the content:
- JIP allowed for customs and Warzone, but disabled for Arena - Spartan abilities available for the flag carrier: Clamber, Ground Pround and Thrust. No sprint. - Three playlists confirmed at launch: Team Slayer, Breakout, CTF/Objective - BTB should be available a few weeks after launch - Requisition pack system explained - The different assassination animations are ported to Arena, but some may be longer than others - Buffed magnum and overall decrease of bullet magnetism for most weapons - More in the links!
A big thanks to Team Beyond’s staff and Josh Holmes for this interview.
Thanks for the info and links. Gonna have a listen to the video now.
Edit: Possibility of sprint less playlist for Halo 5? Yeessss.
>No sprinting with flag
>BTB will be in a few weeks after launch
>JIP for Warzone
Thank the -Yoinking!- Lord. Shame about no Race playlist or Forge for Warzone

Apparently they are potentially open to this option yes, that would be really nice.
I also noted that the MCC should continue with full support even after H5 launch.

Well potentially is better than none.
but yes definitely, the MCC should still get backed.
Not sure why, but I really like the sound of the power up chest smash animation. I wonder what the objects will look like. Hopefully more like batteries or skulls than balls of magic.

I just hope that the animation is not too long, it seems it lasts less than 1 second.

Yes! This is amazing news, I was worried we would have to wait ages for BTB to be added but now it’s only a few weeks which is great to hear. I think one of the main reasons they did this was so people would be more inclined to try out Warzone instead of just hopping into BTB and never playing the new modes.
Like the idea of special weapon skins for special events like HCS. Would be cool if 343 held a contest where we make our own weapon skins and the winners get their skins in the game.
Oooooooh, thanks for the links!
Pretty good interview, even answered one of my own questions regarding sprint haha.
I feel more happy.

I wouldn’t worry. How much time can you realistically spend smashing something on your chest?
I like that there is multiple timing lengths on the assassinations as we can choose to make the quickest ones active for Arena and the most badass looking ones for Wazone 
I can dig long drawn out animations if they feel brutal AND I can choose if I ever want to use them.
Finally, everything people need to know all in the one place, nicely laid out. Kudos to the TB team for setting this up. Hopefully this will help answer a lot of questions, at least I have a good place to refer to now when answering questions on certain features. Great to see JIP customs making a comeback, that’ll make a few folk happy

CTF/OBJECTIVE!!! Best Day EVER!!!

Is race still in the game for customs or were they just stating it wouldn’t have it’s own playlist? Because if it wasn’t in there for customs I’d be very disappointed. I love race and the crazy tracks people build.

If king of the hill is still in, then I’m sure you can modify a race gametype through it’s customization.
As I expected, Req Cards are Halo’s version of Titanfall’s Burn Cards. Everyone can calm down now

King of the hill is most likely in the objective playlist.
