There is something called balance. Bullets not hitting me from Haven to Construct is something i prefer.
That hitscan shit across the map is annoying. And produces a lot of trade kills.
Play SWAT on H4 or H2A and you will have a LOT of trade kills.
Play H3 SWAT and someone with faster reaction times and aiming will win and wont produce a trade kill. (excluding Melee)
But back to ignoring you

Yeah, until your dog starts eating your router mid-firefight.
Wait what? Yeah, Halo drove xbl but the features in the Halo games made it big. Split screen play, firefight, theater mode, etc all while offline. Halo Reach was a huge value when it came to features. So yeah, we kind of expect features that were in last gen games to make it in future games. Can't believe you even asked what else would you expect in buying a Halo game lol.

MCC? What's that? That doesn't look like HALO 5: GUARDIANS.
I agree with you. Certain aspects of the game really bother me (BR spread and maps for example), but I can't help but love the game. Sniping feels the most rewarding out of any Halo title and the experience just reminds me of a good time in life.

So when is the next MCC patch coming?
I don't even know if there's one coming this month? 1 day left and I haven't seen them talking about what this months patch will focus on. They just dropped an other Soon in the last Bulletin.
I don't think it was mentioned at all in the last bulletin. Hopefully soon. If they fix the H3 crashing, audio, and aim acceleration, then I'll be willing to say that the MCC is finally fixed.
Ya it really ruins the primary way I've played and enjoyed Halo for nearly 15 years. No more playing with family, no more lan parties with friends which has been a weekend tradition since Halo 1. I'm going to have a hard time now justifying buying an xbox one for Halo 5's release.

Go on.
Come to think of it... what is even the benefit of tying 60FPS so close to everything in the game? If anything wouldn't that cause trouble for the game? Unless you can gauruntee the game will be locked at 60 FPS it sounds like that could really mess with things.
You can have both. Downgrade things in splitescreen a bit so that the game can stay at 60FPS. I'd rather take the a bit of a hit to prettiness than nothing at all.
It bites. I'd trade better graphics for split screen any day.

FWIW splitscreen is still in for multiplayer.
As before, I wish it weren't so, but for me it's not really a huge issue, even as I have enjoyed it as a feature before. I can live with it.

Except it isn't. Split screen isn't happening for campaign or multi-player. It's only 1 player locally it seems.
I thought the recent tweets that came out have people assuming there's no local split-screen in H5 ENTIRELY though. That's why people are being so vocal today.
Right?
EDIT: Beaten by Madness
"Beaten by Madness" sounds like an awesome band name, or at least an album

Wat? I was under the impression the MP still had split-screen?
That was what I understood from the last round of teeth-gnashing about split-screen. Losing it in MP would impact me more, which'd be a pain for me!

What tweets were suggesting otherwise? I just looked back through Twitter for where I got my ideas from, but couldn't find it. I was sure Josh said MP still had it. Might be wrong.
Eh, I'm a loner who only plays MP online, but it is a shame if so.

He said it during the beta, but things change I guess.
Cuz Quinn was talking about H5 not MCC in that article.

That old tweet is not a confirmations anymore. Things changed, like you said.
Better than these points.
Look at the thread on gaming side, or go back a few pages here. Game is now 1 player only, with 2-24 players available to play through Xbox Live. Meaning no more split screen campaign or multi-player.

Also make sure your newtype powers are in effect, and your midi-chlorians are topped up.

Poor engine design is the only explanation. Cut the feature too early to even care to try and bring it in. Split screen is not impossible. Amazing that OG Xbox level hardware can somehow manage 4player split. Such technical prowess.
Songs all about Cortana and Emo-Chief?

Hey we got WarZone so its okay. Right?
So we don't get Btb at launch which is a halo staple, and now splitscreen is left on the cutting room floor.

It's sad when your friend asks you why you're giving 343 your money and your only reply is "because it's halo"
And then he lists the very things that are posted here and the only thing you can manage to say is "but....Halo"

No it's not. BTB is Team Slayer on roids, Warzone is something entirely different.

There's always classic BTB in the MCC tho for throwbacks and memories 👍
Maybe you can get access to Halo 5 BTB through req packs lol

Can we at least do BTB in customs? Like 8v8 multiflag or assault? Or are they leaving that for their "free dlc" later?

Go on.
Don't you think it's a little hypocritical to hold those views, but have a product that is still plagued with AR/SMG starts? 10+ years of poor experiences with terrible loadouts and The Henery still has to play AR starts on Sandtrap, but who cares about TMCC anymore.. right?

BTB is coming weeks after launch anyway. :]

I shan't rest until we git rid of AR starts in SWAT.
I don't see why they cant work for post launch firefight using the Warzone maps/AI scripts as well as a low res split-screen coop for campaign/MP.
Come on, these are staple, classic features and the more I think about it the more I'm pissed off.
I seriously believe the ONLY thing people will be able to do is play Campaign if they don't have internet/XBL.
