The Good
• power weapons respawn every 4 minutes. That's great because in h4 it was like every 2 minutes and everyone had a power weapon. This also makes them more valuable.
•no ordinance... Thank god. Map control is back
• increased movement speed with energy sword(prophets bane?) hell yes!
• the abilities are balanced. No shield recharge while sprinting for instance
• smart scope is the perfect evolution
• all these thrusters and double jumps doesn't seam to increase the speed of the game too much. Still took about 8 minutes for a match. That's something I hate about cod the games are over too quickly.
The bad
• halo 4s radar





Now I'm off to mcc

Someone in the Twitch chat said there's 1.2 million people on MCC, is that true?!?

Yeah ikr! But it has released everywhere else.

I saw the DMR, but for some reason the BR looked single shot. I'll have to check out the gameplay again. 

UGH, the install/updates/patches are freaking annoying and inconvenient.
Let me play MCC now damn you!

Might not be able to play until tomorrow if it takes too long. :(

i liked what i saw of halo 5. cant wait to play it in dec there are only two things i think need to be changed just form watching the low shield beep is annoying and i think shields deplete a little to fast.

Looking at streams there's a ton of people playing. Granted they are Halo guys but still lol.

so according to ign this is just a "arena beta" which makes it sound like there may be another one probably open to stress test the servers

As for the beta itself, which runs from December 29-January 18? It builds a Competitive Skill Ranking system into its playlists, which Longo says “modernizes” Halo 2’s popular online ranking system. Also, 343 will allow fans to vote online for what maps and modes are added during the final two weeks of the beta. And call it a hunch, but something tells me that this early peek won’t be the last time we get to play Halo 5 before it launches. Longo was quick to emphasize that this is an “arena beta,” saying, “Halo 5 has other multiplayer experiences within it, not just arena.” So will we get a taste of vehicles and larger-scale combat in a second beta closer to release? Anyone got a Magic 8 Ball I can shake?
