Hire Juices IMO.

please make non-laggy UI

actually the Halo 5 UI is pretty snappy. it's the XBO that bothers me, and then I have to hard reset every time the parties glitch. smh

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

This game is pretty awesome. A new take on Halo, which I like.

All the weapons are so balanced. Don't like the sniper yet but I haven't used it much. Thought the pistol would be more powerful but maybe I'm not good with it yet.

I feel like I'm sprinting way too much which is annoying but oh well. They should have a spring meter that depletes and not give you unlimited sprint.

Teamwork seems key in this game as the maps are fairly large and spread out.

3 weeks of this should be fun but two maps will get played out after 1 week.

 

[Diablohead]

I just had a good ping match where I felt like I was dealing damage, this is how it should be.

 

[Tengrave]

I like the menu music here way more than the menu for 4. Also put me down for "tone down the SMG."

 

[danwarb]

Not much of a MP person, but negative first impression. It feels slow and clunky, and more generic console shooter than Halo. Slowest player movement yet. Default left trigger to zoom is sadness.

It seems no one wants to make a proper arena shooter with quick movement, or it just wouldn't work with a pad.

I hope this zoom priority doesn't damage the campaign. I love the Menu music.

 

[op_ivy]

All the beeping noises have to be toned down, I haven't played all that much and it's already gratin' on my nerves.

i actually had a bug where that beeping just kept going nonstop. it was lovely.

 

[link1201]

Beta won't load a game at all. I'm sure it's load issues.

I'm on my fourth attempt with no success. I had no problems during the preview, so I would suspect load issues as well.

There are 7 seven maps total in the Beta spread out over 3 weeks. Next week will have four more; Eden, Regret, Crossfire, and Trenches.

 

[DopeyFish]

can't seem to start any games

 

[bananafactory]

How do I start streaming on X1?

 

[abadguy]

Really looking forward to playing on the "Regret" map.

 

[DopeyFish]

How do I start streaming on X1?

i think it's "Xbox broadcast" if you have a kinect

 

[Diablohead]

How do I start streaming on X1?

install the twitch app and go from there.

 

[bananafactory]

i think it's "Xbox broadcast"

I don't have Kinect lol

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Do you have the Twitch App installed on the Xbox One and a Twitch account? I don't stream, but my brother does. You then need to set up the streaming quality (mostly dependent on your upload bandwidth).

 

[Twin Tails]

I don't have Kinect lol

Double Tap X, Snap Twitch, Broadcast

 

[DopeyFish]

Double Tap X, Snap Twitch, Broadcast

and by X Jeffrey means the xbox button

 

[GringoSuave89]

No purchase required. While supplies last. Official hand out is this weekend but if you have a nice store they may give you one early.

I'll have to work my magic then.

 

[BraXzy]

You gotta love when everyone rushes the power weapon at spawn

And this was nearly an overkill, I still suck with the sniper :3

[Madness]

Haven't been able to get a match in almost 25 minutes now. Just stuck at loading slayer while players quit. Even full matches not going through, wait long enough and the excuse us prompt comes.

 

[op_ivy]

can't seem to start any games

your mic on?

 

[DopeyFish]

your mic on?

yup

i can't hear you at all

 

[Subtervotion]

Can you spawn with a DMR or BR start? If so how?

 

[Twin Tails]

Can you spawn with a DMR or BR start? If so how?

AR only spawns here, maybe next week different

 

[Welfare]

Can you spawn with a DMR or BR start? If so how?

BR starts next week.

 

[op_ivy]

Can you spawn with a DMR or BR start? If so how?

you gotta be onyx to unlock loadouts

Spoiler

jk

 

[Rockondevil]

Can you spawn with a DMR or BR start? If so how?

Thank god, no. This week is AR/Pistol starts.

 

[Subtervotion]

BR starts next week.

I was just in a game and everyone else had DMR and BR. I felt like they had starts. I guess not.

 

[Seiru]

You know, even with the load issues they're having right now, this beta seems to work a lot better than the MCC.

 

[Welfare]

I was just in a game and everyone else had DMR and BR. I felt like they had starts. I guess not.

There are 4 DMRs on Truth, 3 on Empire. 4 BRs on Truth, 6 on Empire.

 

[Diablohead]

Twice now I have died because the weapon I have grabbed from a weapon spawn location has had half a clip, if you run past spawned guns you steal their ammo to the point where picking up what you think is a fresh gun really only has 5 shots in it.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

In celebration of the Beta / CE announcements, go to your local GameStop this week / weekend and get a nice Halo 5 poster with brand new artwork

Called two local places. One doesn't even have them, other said they don't even know when they are handing them out n

 

[njean777]

Really liking this game, way better than advanced warfare.

 

[op_ivy]

giving up for now. seems we broke it.

 

[RdN]

Game is unplayable for me tonight. Lag is unbearable.

it must be connecting me to a distant data center due to low population, and the results are horrible.

 

[DopeyFish]

giving up for now. seems we broke it.

im sorry

 

[link1201]

I can't wait to see the BTB stuff.

 

[bananafactory]

Ok I snapped twitch and logged in buy it says my account is restricted from broadcasting? I already entered the activation code on my pc so what am I missing?

 

[barneystuta83]

So, everyone seems to be loving it then? Nice.

 

[Shyakugaun]

This game has played flawlessly so far for me, still in shock about how smooth it is

 

[Twilight Gap]

can't get into a game when i search with friends.

releasing a beta through a beta. sigh.

There's a setting in your xbox privacy settings that needs to be turned on.

 

[ryan299]

Get rid of the flinch. It's so stupid.

 

[Kaneda Shotaro]

Smooth gameplay and all of my matches have been ridiculously close (1 or 2 kills). I can live with this.

And the menu music. I left it on for a while, beautiful.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Just as a reminder, feedback and bug thread is here

Just in case you guys see anything funky happening.

 

[TaKeRx]

Tried out my first match and it's really good! I'm using the fish something button layout.

I keep clicking the right stick to zoom and is there a way to beatdown while running as opposed to the charge? Gameplay was flawless and the pistol is somewhat useful now.

Can't wait to play more after I'm done cooking.

 

[Defect]

Menu music is terrible. Give me my monks plskthx.

 

[Septic360]

Holy shit! You can spectate your friends??! Why aren't more people talking about this!

 

[Conkerkid11]

Just encountered this problem...

can't get into a game when i search with friends.

More like releasing a beta through an alpha.

Halo 5's matchmaking is a lot better than MCC's.

 

[bananafactory]

There's a setting in your xbox privacy settings that needs to be turned on.

I did the following (from the Twitch site):

To broadcast to Twitch from your Xbox One, the following must be true:
In your Profile, your presence is set to "Online"
In the Settings app under "Privacy and online safety", "See if you're online" is set to "Everybody" and "Broadcast gameplay" is set to "Allow".
In the Settings app under "Preferences", "Allow broadcasts and Game DVR uploads" is checked.
You must be playing a game. You cannot broadcast without first launching a game.

Also tried a hard reboot of my X1 and still no luck
