there are a couple of things i notice that were better in the beta seeing them now on youtube. For example the br sound and ammo counter, the darker lighting (a tad overdone on eden though ) and the emphasis on the medal announcer were imo better then
So why did 343 try 2 fix what wasn’t broken were there people who actually asked for these changes?
i also kinda prefer the old recoil (the hands moved horizontally as well)
i feel like playing the beta
…
Yeah evidently people complained about the Beta announcer which is a shame because I thought it was fine… Now the guy is barely audible… I mean I don’t get it, if you had all the sound recorded a certain way, leave it as an option for players that did like it, as “Beta Announcer” in the audio settings or something! Why throw it away?
Like you might get a hype Triple Kill or Overkill or something and the announcer is so low in the audio mix, you can barely hear him say anything, and the medals are still a bit broken… I like getting that feedback when you pull of something cool. It was all-round much better in the Beta. Maybe there were too many medals, yes I would agree, but why change the way they were displayed? Now they barely show-up at all, particularly when you’re stringing together accomplishments.
It’s insignificant things like that 343 took into account on the Beta… that ended up making a big difference in a negative way. Yes there were some small (positive) gameplay balances and tweaks, but it was generally all of the bogus feedback that hardly changed anything about the gameplay that was implemented and that kind of took away from the competitive feel a bit.
EDIT: Also yes, the lighting was sweet in the Beta, but in some cases, a tad overdone.
Graphics, aiming outro animations.

Outro? Like when the Spartans high fives and stuff? That was dumb tbh. Spartans are 100% serious soldiers. They don’t brag or celebrate, they train to get better. And that’s what Halo 5’s Multiplayer is.
Radar range
Grenade indicators
Lighting
Smart Scope allowed automatics to not be restricted to close-range only

This is a perfect summary of what Halo 5 is today. Fun is absolutely forbidden. You’re not allowed to enjoy yourself, period.
The radar comes to mind.

There is a difference between fun and painful, immature non-sense that stretched the time between matches further than it needed to be. The bro-Spartan crap was one of the things I was quite happy to see leave.

Guess I’m pretty bad–Yoink-. I’m always enjoying myself with H5 when I’m not supposed to be.
The aiming was better. It was before they changed it because the aiming felt “squirrelly” according to Ghost.
I don’t think spartan charge had as much aim assist as it does now. I don’t remember turning into people when you missed.
~ I noticed the BR Sound from the Beta to the current game, and the sound from the BR from Beta had a much more Rapid 3 burst shot and it is better much unlike the current which sounds like one shot going off. ~
Even though I never played Beta, I would have preferred it over the version we have now.

I haven’t played the Beta but have seen videos and the lighting was better. I loved having grenade indicators and the radar.
i don’t know why but when i see the guys hands flail around when he gets shot without anything happening 2 his aim i feel immersed and happy
I loved the beta outros. Sure, it might not make much sense for Spartan-IIs like MC and blue team, but I think It really suited the Spartan-IVs.

Pretty superficial reasons to prefer one version over another.
Especially considering the differences in weapon balance, abilities, and general gameplay from beta to final release.
But no, ignore those differences. “I like the sound more from a beta that I’ve never played and only actually heard from a youtube video. That’s the version I want.”
lol

oh no the final is waay better im just saying that some aesthetics of the beta make me wanna play that too cos i never did and i wish i could ve tried both experiences
I liked how in the beta, all the medals would pop up and then it would go through each one.
I hated the announcer, I hated the outro, I hated the grenade indicators, I hated the kill cams, I hated the lighting.
Final product is better.
