I am by no means here to necessarily complain like so much of the rest of the community seems to be doing. By no means do I want this thread to turn into a hate fest on 343i
I just want to start this off by saying I have been around since Halo CE. I got my start gaming on traditional FPS’s when they were released, the first game having ever played being Doom. I remember when Halo was first released, I remember passing it up on the store after seeing a tech demo and thinking to my self it looked Unreal-esq and that if I was going to play a game like Unreal, it mine as well just be Unreal tournament (at the time that was all I was playing). I remember the first time I actually got to play it, at one of my buddies houses who just bought an xbox, and how amazing I thought the environment looked. Long story short from then on I was sold on halo and have been an avid fan since then. I feel all the hate towards 343i is misguided, at least when it comes to halo 4. I for one loved halo 4, I felt the franchise was just changing, and I think that with time everything should change, I mean halo 1 to 2 to 3 are all completely different in their own ways. Now if we are talking about the MCC, well then I understand where you are coming from. I don’t think they did a horrible job, it certainly was UNFINISHED, but despite everything I am an optimist and I figured at least eventually everything will be fixed. all that aside here’s what I have to say about halo 5.
so far I have simply LOVED playing the beta for halo 5. I love the fast paced game-play it is leading to. While I was skeptical about ADS being added to Halo, so far it hasn’t “ruined halo” for me like so many others suggest it will. My experience has just been grand, and I think its good to let the devs know that while not everyone is happy with the decisions they have made, there are those that are. as stated above I feel with time all things should change, and the way the game is looking now I think it is going to be a really nice game. the controls feel solid to me, and with how team oriented it is starting to feel, well its no wonder why a counterstrike-esq game mode like breakout works so well.
buit the one and ONLY thing I am unhappy with is the kill cams. Now its not that I hate them completely, I don’t think they are the worst thing ever. but the one thing I can’t stand is there is (currently) no button or way to skip the replay and just respawn (or respawn faster that is). I understand everyone thinks this feature was a clear rip off of COD , but I just want a way to NOT have to keep waiting to respawn and re-watch the death how I already know went down. the only times i’ve ever been like “-Yoink- wish I had kill cam so I knew what happened” has been when someone sniped me in some corner 
so yes, if you are going to keep the kill cams, please add some way of skipping the replay so it doesn’t feel so drawn out between respawns. Thanks!
