@AkaDemiK


does it include multiplayer for every game?

 

[KushSkywalker]

I might cop just to play ascension and lockout again. Battle rifles. Pistols only no shields.

Halo 4 isn't a real Halo to me. The sprinting ruined the game and somehow removed some of the strategy.You can't have shields and be able to sprint.

Halo 4 was the best Halo game.






















































Y'all neegas betta PRAY they don't fukk up Halo 5 MP with dumbass perks and shyt. Good thing they got 1-4 remade so y'all got a fallback option. All that bullshyt they added in 4 was embarrassing.

Well 343 already stated Armor Abilities ain't coming back, so that's a good sign

Well 343 already stated Armor Abilities ain't coming back, so that's a good sign

The “Halo 5: Guardians” multiplayer beta trailer revealed at Microsoft’s E3 2014 Xbox One press conference Monday was the briefest of looks at what 343 Industries has planned. Design Director Brad Welch shared more details today and revealed that the game is going back to the basics of what made “Halo” multiplayer great.

The “Halo 4” multiplayer brought the concept of loadouts to the series for the first time to build on the Armor Abilities that came with “Halo: Reach.” The implementation of loadouts and the ability to call in Ordnance Drops was largely panned by the “Halo” and competitive communities due to the amount of randomness they introduced to online matches. That is all being scrapped judging by the teaser trailer which announced “next generation arena multiplayer” and Welch’s follow-up post to Twitter.

“Arena means what you'd expect - competitive focus, level playing field, map control. Spartan abilities are player mechanics not loadout [Armor Abilities],” Welch wrote.

“There'll be more details as we get closer to the beta,” he continued. “Nice to be doing it early enough to have a chance to react to beta feedback!”

So what are Spartan Abilities if there are no Armor Abilities? “Things that every player can do inherently with their Spartan,” Welch clarified.


In other words, matches where one player starts with a jet pack, another has active camouflage and another begins with Promethean Vision to see through walls are a thing of the past. All players will start matches on even footing.

There are a Halo Ring full questions left to answer about the “Halo 5” multiplayer but the main takeaway from Welch’s Tweets is what are the Spartan Abilities that will be available and how will they be obtained? The teaser trailer hinted at the return of the Thruster Pack, the ability to slide and an Iron Man-like ground pound attack. Meanwhile, Welch’s comment on map control suggests that Spartan Abilities may be power-ups that can be picked up. Presumably, some abilities will be part of default move set as well.

The “Halo 5: Guardians” multiplayer beta will launch on the Xbox One in December and is included as part of the “Halo: Master Chief Collection” that is due out in November. The collection will include the first four “Halo” games from the series, with “Halo 2” receiving an HD upgrade treatment, and all four games will retain their multiplayer and game mechanics on dedicated servers. This will be followed by the full release of "Halo 5" in the fall of 2015.

I HATED all that different loadout shyt. I noticed the MP games I enjoyed the most didn't really have loadout systems per se. Halo 4 just went full on fukktard with that shyt and it just was silly. They always tried to front on some "well if someone has Promethean vision, you can hear a sound so that gives you a jump..." . Everyone needs to start on equal footing. Judging by the way that sounds, 5's MP sound like a step ahead of Reach and 4's MP. Only thing that can fukk it up is if they introduce game mechanics.

i cant even front this shyt sold me towards the x1 i never played 1 or 2 or 3 i just hoped on 4 and enjoyed it for what it is but this right here helped so i can play all single player mode too understand the story better than hop back on the multiplayer later

but other things did help sway me for x1 probably cuz i got kids with that dance central and disney shyt kind of sealed the deal

unless sony drop something else going this right either this fall or early next year ( looking into buying house this year might be y it get pushed back till early next year)

I'm loving the dedicated matchmaking for each individual game. That way me and my friends can play just Halo 2 MP (2 and 3 were heavily played in high school) if we so choose as opposed to having a party full of trolls majority vote a H4 game of Slayer/CTF/etc when everyone else picks a CE/2/3 game just to be funny

These long 5 months
