Halo 5 beta preview [Game revolution] [Update: Big Screens]

I REALLY hope this isn't COD with a Halo skin. The leaked vids and then this preview don't instill me with much confidence.

They better release that H5 MP reveal quick.
 
This guy shouldn't be anywhere near Halo, he is tired of shooters

So, yeah, that preview was horrible. If you're gonna break an embargo, at least have a decent writeup. :lol

Those screens don't look all that great visually (Spartan Models and visors specifically), though I really like the concept and art style of that map.
 
Yeah mirrors my impression... Doesnt look such a leap from Halo 4...

Maybe it'll look better in motion...and the gameplay impressions making it seem similar to COD doesnt make me happy either. Have to wait till I get my hands on...or a good video to judge it more easily..

its because its 60 fps and 1080p(?) ...and on xbox one

I'd be surprised if it looked much better than Halo 4

Not sure what you saw in those leaked vids that looks anything like COD.

a new boost ability adding to the player’s options for escape in a difficult situation.

I can't say I am a fan of this. I would prefer you pay for putting yourself in a bad position.

That preview does a terrible job of explaining how the mechanics even work. Doesn't talk about sprint being rebalanced, doesn't talk about the ground pound, doesn't say how often the thruster pack can be used, etc.

Massive time sink? He docked points for too much content? Holy shit.
 
SMH at all the people going "welp, that's it for Halo 5." Dude can't tell the difference between the thruster pack and a jet pack. The article reads like it was machine translated! Maybe wait at least until the actual reveal tonight :p

I am optimistic. Looking forward to trying out the Beta myself in December. That said I am happy to hear there is unlimited sprint and won't knock the ADS until I try it myself. They have to make some changes, otherwise all you have is a prettier version of Halo (again).

I love that guy's review - we had a good laugh making poems in the review thread.

Btw, I am so tired of posting on GAF; sucks there aren't more topics though.

It's not well written and it doesn't explain anything. I guess they're just going for clicks by releasing something/anything first.

I'll wait to see it tonight before thinking any more on it.

EDIT: Annnnddddd it's gone.
 
Well that's not a very helpful preview. I can't believe he broke embargo for that.

On the bright side, I like the look of that map. I hope it plays well.

Imagine thrust and evade from previous Halo games. I welcome it. It's a new form of mobility that should make fire fights more interesting if used properly.

I'll wait to judge fully when I see the reveal tonight. But right now, I'm not liking it.

I would not take anything this incoherent review says seriously. He called the Energy Sword a Beam Sword. Also dose not know what Midship is.
