Possible that this isn't the right thread for this, but if anyone would like to trade a PC code for a PS4 code, let me know. I picked up Wolfenstein for PS4 ages ago, but I really wanna play this beta on PC, seems like a perfect fit for it.

VALUABLE ADVICE:

Everyone should use the "Strafe" controller preset if you're playing on a console. That allows you to jump while aiming, which heightens your skill ceiling.

Yeh this is a must for everyone, it's impossible to jump, aim and shoot with the default layout.

How does it feel to have weapons like a rocket launcher as a loadout weapon?

I figured it would be more fun to have basic weapons for loadouts (AR, SMG, etc) and then to have things like Rocket Launchers be pick ups. I worry that it'd be *too* needlessly chaotic to have rockets firing everywhere.

I love, love, love the thought of invisibility pick ups and power weapons like chainsaws. I miss pick up weapon MP so much

Also, I am so excited for some of these modes. Too bad they wont be in beta, but I'd really like to play 1v1 and CTF.

I still have never found a game that matched Halo 1's CTF mode. So much fun, so perfectly built.

Tell me there are future betas and that they will include CTF

I sort of like it because I can start with a rocket launcher instead of having to pick one up. One thing I never really liked that much about Quake 3 was that you started with just the melee thing and the machine gun, and had go grab anything else. Now you start with something you like, and feel like you can do well with, then grab powerups or power weapons. So there's still map control, but it's for the really powerful stuff instead of just the standard weapons.

Title should totally be "Halo guy in hell" haha.

A play on Doom Guy, and how we've switched gears from everyone saying how much the Master Chief looks like the Doom Guy, to how much the Doom Guy looks like the Chief.

Great OP :).

If this was like modern Halo they would shoehorn in aiming down sights, sprinting with weapon down, bad maps, and 30fps animations.

I could go on ;)
