Support NeoGAF

[Twin Tails]

Incineration Cannon is back and has changed compared to Halo 4. players can charge up a shot and the longer you charge, the more powerful it is. Battery based rather than ammo based.
railgun is back from Halo 4 and works almost identically - could hold up to 11 shots
Overshield was present had some weird screen effect when you picked it up - looked like a bug
boltshot is back but doesn't work like halo 4 - no shotgun fire mode. fires two shots at once and sort of tracks players
suppressor is back and fires a lot slower
blue outline on weapons was in the build
killcams were disabled in the build, could spectate players while you were dead
br spread was near-gone - fired so fast
spartan chatter was reduced hugely, less pointless callouts
spartan bro moments cut down. game ending segment is just your spartans walking towards the screen, no more highfives and shit
killfeed modified to be like this: "PLAYER NAME" "WEAPON KILLED WITH" "PLAYER NAME"
pistol RoF is modified to be slower but is a lot more powerful - competes with AR and BR
ground pound is harder to use, radius is tiny
overshield was bugged, my shields said i constantly had it even after death

On Graphix

Railgun's got some wonky-ass texture work going on. I'm assuming it's low-res or incomplete.

It almost verbatim the beta code. So I would basically ignore everything you're looking at.

Leaked out (Part of close network test)
Weapons models kinda look placeholder?
Scope change (Beta Scope)

RIP Spartan Bros

Are those direct feed screenshots by chance? They look like some motion blur was applied to all of them.

 

[faridmon]

Don't know why now; but those screenshots reminds me of Metroid Prime!
Looking good.

 

[ekim]

Where is this coming from?

 

[StriKeVillain]

Don't know why now; but those screenshots reminds me of Metroid Prime!

We all said the same thing before Halo 4. And then we played it...

 

[Toki767]

Those screenshots are all in really weird sub 1080p resolutions.

 

[Nori Chan]

God damn you Gaf. You ruined the bros. IT'S NOT EVEN A BROPOCALYPSE ANYMORE GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

Spartan Brodown was great. Screw the haters.

[CassidyIzABeast]

wtf bruh? I thought this was game informer stuff.

 

[Diablohead]

I hope the railgun has a larger force effect on vehicles, it could kill a spartan in one direct shot but shooting a slug at a warthog did little to nothing, a brute shot was better.

Those screenshots are all in really weird sub 1080p resolutions.

looks like the beta to me which was 720 upscaled.

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

These just look like generic screenshots from the beta.

NOOOOOOOOO!!

RIP

 

[Dombrowski]

But I liked the "highfives and shit"

 

[DopeyFish]

Death spectating... whyyyy

 

[RealityPales]

Not the most glamorous screenshots those first few.

 

[Sou Da]

But I liked the "highfives and shit"

I smell Spartan customization.

 

[Wishmaster92]

These just look like generic screenshots from the beta.

Yeah this really doesn't look that good.

 

[Euron]

Well at least they fixed the Boltshot.

 

[Goldfishking]

But i wanted to have a 15 vs 1 match. Then see 15 spartans dude bro-ing afterwards. Would have been so silly.

 

[Diablohead]

Death spectating... whyyyy

because it's a ton better to know where the enemy went then to see them throw a lucky grenade over a wall from their eyes.

 

[R3TRO]

Those graphics...

WHAT THE FUCK

Biggest let down so far for me

If anything they should have done more with it, not minimized it

God damn it 343

 

[105.Will]

I didn't mind the high-fives, but just make them a little less "frat boy" and more like "i got your back man". I want my Spartans to be the dudes who are gonna save the planet not hit on my girlfriend.

Edit: didn't have a problem with Beta's DMR scope but that one looks pretty tight

 

[Twenty7KVN]

Didn't they hire some ex retro devs a few years ago?

What in the world?

I hate when people complain so much over stupid things and then the developers feels forced to do such a thing!!!
Congratulations complainers, I hope at least you're really planning to play it, and were not just trolling.

 

[Kibbles]

Scope looks great, I hope it's instant.

 

[RexNovis]

What resolution are those screenshots? They look decidedly less than 1080 to me.

Also what in earths going on with the textures on this weapon?

Looks like it's made out of shiny perforated cardboard.

Pleasantly surprised they removed the obnoxious celebration routines at the end. Good on you 343.

lol....

Spoiler

like anyone on gaf has a girlfriend

 

[105.Will]

What i mean is the the animation how it was came off as really obnoxious. I just wished they toned down the bro-ness of it, but not get rid of it entirely.

This. Spartans are supposed to be top soldiers, not the stupid juvenile fire team.

 

[Madness]

I'm surprised. I thought they would keep the Spartan dude bro stuff. Whole point of victory screen is to show off the win. Could've been perfect way to make dlc money too. Imagine buying content that would give you NFL style cheese celebrations. Just as a way to gloat or piss off the other team. The leading point getter on winning team, whatever victory pose he has selected is what would have played etc.

Looks good though. The blue outlines will help in dark areas where sometimes hard to see weapons. I don't like the incineration Cannon being back. The prometheans are dead and Requiem is in the sun. Plus incineration cannon was ridiculously overpowered.

Love the new DMR scope/zoom compared to what was before, though I'd still take the Halo 4 DMR classic zoom any day.

 

[Mythologian]

Ah, the Boltshot is fixed. Seriously, that shit was as annoying as armour lock in Reach.

 

[Mechazawa]

Thank god they took out that broshit. Came off as so tonedeaf.

 

[Orca]

Where is this coming from?

Someone breaking NDA.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I was really hoping my Spartan Bros would crack open some cold beers and start chugging Austin style.

 

[BrianRoyale]

We all said the same thing before Halo 4. And then we played it...

I only played the 2nd one with a friend, what was so bad about Halo 4?

 

[Regret Upon Approval]

Where is this coming from?

Here I think.
http://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/297729385/halo-5#p297729385

I think.

 

[PROh1bited]

Look at those lopsided scores. Like the changes on the Boltshot and Promethean Cannon

 

[RoKKeR]

All sounds good to see.

 

[Twin Tails]

Where is this coming from?

Originally from Beyond.

 

[timetokill]

I was honestly hoping there would be a huge set of post-game brodowns based on the team makeup and performance.

What a huge disappointment.

 

[Madness]

Originally from Beyond.

Is it a leak or was this genuine information shared by 343?

 

[Dictator93]

Good that they got rid of the embarassing call of duty stuff with the end screens. (assuming this leak is not BS)

Yes, it was juvenile looking. I enjoy halo's tone, but not that.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I was honestly hoping there would be a huge set of post-game brodowns based on the team makeup and performance.

What a huge disappointment.

remember with the free maps, they gotta save SOMETHING for the cosmetic DLC

moonwalking/breakdancing spartan animations, $4.99 in stores now

 

[tanooki27]

first I'm seeing of Spartan bros....hilarious
