Tha pistol is amazing.

Edit: This shyt is dope. :banderas:

It's obviously what Halo 4 should have been as cliche as that sounds. The fact that there's no random weapon drops, killstreaks or superfluous loadouts makes this a MUCH better game from a balancing standpoint.


At first I was like

as it just seemed like a COD/Titanfall/Halo mash up but then after about 6 games or so it started to feel like Halo but just faster and refined.



I started to rely less on the ADS and used hipfire more but I haven't really felt like I had unfair or bullshyt deaths due to the psuedo ADS.

It's NOT Halo CE or Halo 2 but then again if you just want Halo 2 then go play MCC, at least those two games are playable with modern updates.

The main things I think that needs to be nerfed are the AR's, Sword lunges and maybe lower sprint duration?? :manny: I feel like I got kills easily with the assault rifle and SMG. I'd say the pistol is really good too but idk:patrice:.

It's good now that there isn't way too many variables in this game compared to Halo 4 which made it a headache to balance I assume.

The controls?? Feels buttery smooth :wow:! Aiming and popping headshots feels wonderful and the hit register sounds as well as the hitmarkers is very satisfying. There's "oomph" in the gameplay.

The movement speed is really tight and moving around and using the thruster pack while in engaging in a shoot out feels good. I honestly couldn't see why it can't stay.


Everyone else has it and it's not something that needs a "counter" as again it's by default a core mechanic. The ADS mechanic could get axed for all I care as I didn't see any use of it outside of pure muscle memory of pressing L to aim since the controls reminded me of Titan larry a lil bit.

My favorite touch to the MP was the contextual player chatter. It makes matches feel much more alive even if a real person isn't on mic. It was one of the things I loved about UC/Gears MP when I think about it and I'm glad to see it put to use here.

I landed a kill and one of the Spartans near me said "nice headshot" on cue. It does sound a bit militarized but what can I say?? It's a new game and it's merely adding to the presentation.

Speaking of that, the post game screen with the high fives and shyt?? :camby: Look so corny.

The GFX honestly looked very "meh" and wasn't on par with even the Halo collection games but I'd chalk it up to it being a very early beta. I know the game could look better. No one could tell me they'd be okay with the next gen Halo looking this rough.



TL:DR?

The game is better than Halo 4 by a big margin right off the bat and it'll take a few rounds to grow on you as it feels kind of different at first.

Last month, I promised the Halo and Xboxcommunity that addressing the matchmaking issues and other bugs impacting players’ experience with Halo: The Master Chief Collection was our #1 priority. We’ve been working around the clock deploying weekly content updates and numerous server-side adjustments that have shown good results and we’re encouraged by the feedback we’re hearing from you. Another big hurdle was overcome when we added fan-favorite playlists, such as SWAT and Halo: CE, back to our matchmaking menu and we plan to add more soon. Next week, we’ll release a content update that will add all 10 episodes of the cooperative experience “Spartan Ops” for Halo 4, and will address other issues. I assure you that the team will continue to work on additional content updates to further improve the all-up gameplay experience.
This has been a humbling experience and highlighted how we as a studio can – and need – to do better for Xboxfans around the world. We are so grateful to our fans who have stood by our side and we appreciate all of your patience as we worked through these issues. As a token of our appreciation and to thank fans for the continued support and understanding, we will be offering the following items, for free, to anyone who has playedHalo: The Master Chief Collection online since launch (11.11.14) through today (12.19.14).*

Additionally, you’ve told us that you want more Halo 2: Anniversary multiplayer map content and Halo 3: ODST on Xbox One. As a future bonus, we’re going to make these happen and give them to you for free. We are just now starting work with our partners to bring both to Halo: The Master Chief Collection and will share more specific details on timing in the coming months. But for now, here’s what you can expect:

  • Halo 3: ODST CampaignDevelopment has just started on the campaign for Halo 3: ODST, which will be available within Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and upgraded to 1080p resolution, running at 60fps. It will be available for free to anyone who has played Halo: The Master Chief Collection since launch (11.11.14) through today (12.19.14).* Thanks to our friends at Bungie for creating the original “Halo 3: ODST” campaign.
  • “Relic” Halo 2: Anniversary Multiplayer Map Available via a free content update to Halo: The Master Chief Collection, we will reimagine the fan-favorite map “Relic,” fully remastered and running at 1080p resolution and 60fps. We chose this map based on its suitability for Slayer and Objective modes and its ability to support teams of varying sizes. And you can trust that Certain Affinity will tune and tweak the map to make it even better than you remember.
