Will people stop apologizing for this company like they own stock in it or something.
I love Halo 1-3 and think this looks awesome *shrug*
Wish I was in the preview programme

Just got a message from xbl telling me i can play yhe beta this weekend as im part of the preview team.
Cool

I don't know, I find it amusing that now they're focusing on the H5 beta, without having fixed Halo:MCC.
That being said, I'm excited to test new grounds here. Yea, it looks similar CoD, but that's not a bad thing (I'm not Halo diehard). Now, I just have to un-burrow Halo:MCC.

are there other ways to get into the beta beside being in the preview program or having MCC?

Will people stop pounding 343i like they kicked your dog or something.
Are we pretending 3 wasn't?

Well the implied notion that the people who do the video editing are the same as the people working on networking is a bit ridiculous.

Hardly apologizing.
People are bitching about a trailer for a beta that starts in a week and a half and acting like 343 ceased all work on MCC to make the trailer.
It's pretty damn ridiculous.

Would you have preferred that they canceled or delayed the beta away from holiday vacation periods?
Lol good observation.

Simply ask someone who is in the beta and they invite you from their Xbox. All you need to do is provide your gamertag. Sadly you won't get in on time for this. It takes ~5 days to get accepted via Xbox.

Will people start recognizing the fact that it hasn't always been this way that these companies are allowed to sell us defective products and get away with it because of the promise of updates.
That's apologizing? Need to recheck my copy of Webber here in that case.
343 putting out a trailer for a heavily publicized beta is not all that surprising.

I don't think I read a single comment that implied that.

Can we get back to the discussion about the gameplay of the halo 5 beta instead of discussing the MCC? Cause you know, this thread isn't about MCC.

It looks so good. I seriously can't wait. I for one LOVED Halo 4's multiplayer, until all the MLG people cried that it changed too much and had them make it so the battle rifle was the best / only weapon again. That and they implemented custom maps which ran like shit.
I think all the changes they have made from 4 to 5 were needed and it is looking to be the best Halo multiplayer yet (I'm sure that ground pound will be nerfed soon).
I've seen a lot of people say "THIS ISN'T LIKE HALO 2/3" and "THIS LOOKS LIKE COD" or "THEY STOLE THINGS FROM COD". I agree this isn't Halo 2/3 because Halo has evolved more and more each game UNLIKE COD, but most of those same people make fun of CoD players for "Playing the exact same game year after year." The hypocrisy is unbearable.

cringy voice-over.
kind of looks like other more recent shooters with the slide, grappling up ledges, boosting, and ground pound.

Oh I see. Well even if I can't get into the beta early, I'm interested in it anyway (which is why I was looking into it months ago).
Would anyone here be kind enough to invite me?

Very keen insight sir! Microsoft is a company trying to make money. The guys that work in advertising don't code. I'm learning so much here!
Keep at it Microsoft! You're a corporation, which means your a person. You should keep doing whatever you need to do to keep afloat! Gotta keep rootin' for the little guy.

Hang on here, dashboard beta users are getting this early? that's even more shit in the eyes of people who bought the halo collection day one for full price.
The treatment to the halo fans is terrible.

I see your point, but the two are inherently linked because Halo MCC is a glorified invite key for the Halo 5 beta. People should be mad that only preview folks are getting early access.
For like the trillionth time, 343i didn't develop MCC by themselves. Not even close. It was a hodgepodge of efforts.
Yes it did.
Their name is the only one that appears on the splash screen. They wanted to take credit for it.
I don't prefer anything. I'm all for the H5 beta. It was my main motivator to getting MCC.
That doesn't diminish the fact that Halo:MCC is still broken (to paying customers), and now they'll focus on moving forward with Halo 5. Ideally...why not fix what's broken first, before moving on to something new? Just sayin'.
Anyway, carry on.

Screw the hate. It looks great to me. My only gripe that wont be confirmed until playing it is the seemingly quicker kill time.
The ADS looks purely cosmetic to me. It doesn't seem to function like the COD hip versus ads dynamic in the slightest. I'm not sure why people are freaking out when the zoom is pretty much the exact same as every halo game.

Are they really not going to have Halo music again?
Sabre Interactive and Certain Affinity are on the box as well.

For the last time, having this discussion about who did what is completely arbitrary because it's a Microsoft 1st party studio. 343 was created by Microsoft after Bungie left. All work going to other non-1st party studios was outsourced because of Microsoft. Outsourcing to multiple studios was inherently a bad idea.
Therefore 343/Microsoft are interchangeable in my book. So go ahead, use 343 or use Microsoft. We don't need to get in an argument over semantics. It's just a digression from the main issue.
