Did you see or play the Halo 5 Guardians multiplayer early beta? If so, what are your thoughts?
Only played 5 games but thought I would just say that despite allot of negative feelings towards this game I was pleasantly surprised by the gameplay. It was fun with some high demand of skill needed for pistol and long range Dmr. Getting kills felt very rewarding and had no lag at all. Got into games really fast and didn’t even notice that annoying guys voice.
things I didn’t like, snipe felt slow in zoom, thrust and sprint is just more hassle for my stubby little fingers and power weapon announcement drop.
but all in all I think we are in for a treat
I think it sucks. First Halo I will not be buying…
It’s having the same issues as the MMC. A message that they are having server issues…taking forever to get into a game…
And it’s not my Internet.
I’m pretty optimistic, they removed a lot of the balance issues that 4 had. Can’t wait to try it. Now if only the MCC matchmaking was as flawless…

Why is that? It’s not that bad.
I’m loving it but I also loved halo 4. People will complain that it’s not like halo 2 or 3 but all games have to change over time. Can’t have same halo with different maps every game
im hating it there are to many spartan abilities and feels crowded. the worst being truster doge ground pound and shoulder charge. if those where gone this game would be soooooo much better
I haven’t played it and don’t intend to play this but a dozen or so friends of mine have played it.
So far all of them except 1 think it’s absolute trash and feels like an awkward mix of Reach and Halo 4.
I like it more then i expected i thought the ADS would ruin the game but i can play fine not zooming. Only the hitmark sound is a lil annoying and prophets bane might be a lil to overpowered. And sometimes connection fails in lobby but its a beta so that can be expected. And i dislike the map Truth since the spawns on it are terrible (keep spawning next to enemies and in gunfire etc…) But pretty good.
EDIT: After playing a lil more the hitmark sound doesnt bother me anymore. I would rate the beta as it is now not counting the connection drops in lobbies 8/10 (could become higher once full beta is out)
I also really like that they dont only have a skill rank but also a spartan rank.
I think it’s great, really enjoyed it. Bound to be inevitable haters though. But I’ve enjoyed every halo game released, this will be no exception.

This exactly
I saw Ogre2 get dropped in 1 second flat by an AR. The next life, he tried to grenade/BR somebody and they thrusted away from his grenade and killed him.
Most of what I’ve witnessed involves sprinting. This game has unlimited sprint, and people say a 1-second “startup” and no shield recharge is going to fix it?
Sprint was my biggest gripe from the beginning when I found out Halo 5 still had it (not shocked, but still…). I was still intensely excited for the beta. Now? Meh.
I’m not saying that because I want to complain, either. I really feel sad about saying this, but I’m entirely uninterested so far. Maybe if this game was released as a different IP.

You have -Yoink- friends then
I like it so far
only played a few matches so far, but honestly, so far it feels amazing, most things feel well balanced, especially sprint.
Groundpounds a little OP but its also hard to use, could still use a nerf though.
SMG is overpowered imo.
Thrusters and clamber work amazing and add the gameplay.
Smart Scope, i was skeptical at first, but so far it feels nice and i dont find myself using it much at all, so hipfiring is still king lol
This halo is quite possibly going to be the ultimate halo, it really feels right, the new mantle is great because it doesn’t do it automatically which means if you jump and go near a ledge while in combat it wont pull you out of the combat unless you want to by pressing jump again.
The weapons take skill to use and are easy to use but hard to master and everyone spawns with the same weapons which makes it fun from the start.
The sniper takes a bit long to zoom so I hope that Gets fixed, its takes a bit of getting used to holding down zoom aswell but I am willing to adapt for the sake of progress. The spartan slam and ground pound take skill to use and leave you wide open for attack so getting a kill with them is very satisfying but risky, same as assassination.
The fact that your shield doesn’t recharge while sprinting actually make combat quite hectic because no one really runs away as much meaning more slaughter haha.
I personally feel like the fully automatic weapons are just a tad bit too powerful.

i honestly find that alot better with the sniper rather tbh, just my opinion though, but i agree this halo feels likes its going to be the ultimate halo. with some slight tweaking ofcourse

AR to me feels just right, but the SMG is OP as fook
