What's wrong with her?

Her voice  

Kinda annoying to me, but meh, I'll live. 

Hmmm I remember her voice but for some reason I can't find a video with her voice. Link?

My biggest concern with halo 5 is the battle encounters are getting even shorter. The amount of shield/ health in u had in 4 was very low compared to halo 2/3/reach. The battles where shorter. Winning double teams became harder but only a couple bullets would no shield u. Halo 5 seams to have even less health/shield than 4. This I do not like, the easier it is to kill someone the less skill it takes(my oppinion).
The other minor problem I have is kill cams. They don't work,for any game. Be it Cod, or halo 4 or 5 they don't look right. It pisses u off to watch ur own death because from the view u are given it always looks like the enemy did not shoot u, looks like they completely missed. This always happens.

Other than that I think the game looks great. I have not played the game. My friends have and these are there main problems, and I agree from the videos.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

I think I saw max hobberman in the Third episode of "the sprint" on waypoint. He was a map design God back in the day.

I would love Sony and MS to do a refresh every two years. Up the ram and processor and keep the games backwards compat. I don't understand why they can't do this? Basically like a IPAD. Or similar to what Nintendo is doing with the 3DS.

No wrong idea that means you are simple dumping the old audience consoles are not meant to be this I am fine with 5-6 year beyond that is too much since the console itself starts be old. If you up the ram, cpu and gpu every year you are limited to same type what I mean is basically they cannot give the perfect upgrade or change the architecture to an extend. Moreover a lot of horse power in these consoles will get wasted and gaming budgets will rise for gamers and devs.

Devs will not be able to use these consoles effectively = rising game costs.

Consumers may be afraid to buy consoles every two year which can be expensive, well we can counter this by giving upgarde incentive to old console owners. Overall i don't think it is a nice idea



Can't believe I have to wait like a whole year to get my hands on the full Halo 5 game when it's already this smooth and balanced. Fucking torture.

I wish they could just keep the beta running all year until release. I'd play it non stop. #ThoroughTesting

Yeah sounds fine to me, to each their own I suppose

Let's be honest both PS4 and X1 are underpowered.  I thought going into this gen that each can do 1080P 60 on all games and even 4K.  Oh well, gotta wait until next gen I guess.  Neither really were interesting in truly pushing boundaires like last gen. 

Yeah, really they both are underpowered, especially compared to last gen. When the 360 released it was nearly as powerful as a high end PC, a graphics card that was as powerful as the 360's graphics chipset such as the Geforce 7800gt costed $450 at the time, as much as the 360 itself, so it was impossible to build a PC that could match the power of the 360 for the same price. This gen though XB1 and PS4 were nowhere near as powerful as high end PC's, PS4's GPU has less than half the GFLOPS of the top PC graphics cards and XB1's GPU has about a 3rd of the GFLOPS of top PC graphics cards. I really think this gen will be short because they didn't design the consoles to be powerful enough, in 4 years the top PC graphics cards will be like 5 times more powerful than PS4 and 7 times more powerful than the XB1's GPU, and even smartphones will be close to matching XB1 and PS4, the latest smartphone chipsets are already more powerful than 360/PS3. I don't see how they could feasibly make gen 8 another 7-8 year generation.

Well even though mobile chipsets are on same level as xbox 360 and ps3 they never produce same results take for example nvidia k1 on mobile is equal to ps3 gpu and it has never produce same results, you cannot run batman arkham origins on mobile. Comparing that is useless however I agree with statement that back when 360 was released it was way powerful however same is not with this gen. I think main bottleneck this gen will be CPU while the combination of cpu and gpu within apu is much better than previous gen. Overall this gen lacks sauce in raw terms however when developers learn better techniques such as using esram on Xbox One with cloud and dx12 and gpgpu on ps4. Things will be clear in future from 2 years from now as we will see so much more graphics from these consoles.

MS may actually be doing this. That new Xbox One chipset that AMD is working on for the Xbox One slim apparently uses less power and has better performance than the original Xbox One chipset. If it's true it's possible that they could do something like 900p on the weaker older chipsets and 1080p on the newer more powerful chipsets running the same game. However it's also possible (and probably more likely) that MS will just downclock the new chipset so that it matches the old chipset in performance, making it use even less power and therefore run cooler in the Xbox One slim. 

Well this not true the last revised xbox 360 chipset is less power hungry than previous one and is better in performance but does anyone experiences any issues or differences between the two, no. This why the performance increase is small but what i think is ms can increase the cpu and gpu clock further because of the fan in Xbox One
