nope the player in the video above does it several times.
Idk she technically doesn't need to look down the sniper scope when she shoots.
Meh. The AR's buff was over exaggerated, in my opinion.

Yeah depending on who i was going up against i went back and forth on it post match. Sometimes i felt like i was getting hit by freakin' laser beams... other times i personally couldnt even pop a shield with 3/4 of a magazine left.
I know it must be a hard act to balance everything... esp. pleasing those who feel that the BR and DMR should wreck everything at every range. (I'm not one of them)
I'd like to see the distance decreased or it's rate of fire slightly decreased while keeping or upping the rate of fire/decreasing the distance on the SMG.

Calm down, I did say DLC so I meant it as an extra not as a mandatory change.

It's the perfect look for Linda, who has always been known as a god tier sniper. If I'm not mistaken, Linda, in the Master Chief's mind, is the one adversary he would never want to be up against.

Just caught up on the latest videos, and fuck me does multiplayer looks so damn good in this. I strongly disliked Halo 4, but Halo 5 looks like absolute perfection. A nice update to the core gameplay, whilst keeping the fundamentals of Halo multiplayer - no loadouts, no weapon drops, no armour abilities, I'm absolutely loving it.

All those awesome pics and you want to pixel count? smh
... My intention is not to talk about its resolution in that way. I am getting the game regardless, and I thought the beta looked nice at 720p, but I'm still curious. This looks way above that anyway.

long as the framerate is stable and it runs somewhere above 720p, i'm good. framerate's more important though especially coming off of MCC.

Why does all that armor look so damn clean? What happened to textured armor? Even the warthog looks sparse as hell.
Yeah that's true, also I think our u.s military has optics like that too.

Halo 5 is looking pretty damn good.
My god, this is awesome. I didn't know Halo Online had cool stuff like that.
I didn't make them, just found them.
They look great. Are they official?
Dunno, found them on wallhaven.cc

What gun are those Promethean Soldiers holding? I thought it was a Suppressor, but it looks different than the one in the Warzone shot.
Base movement speed still looks a little too slow, hopefully that can be increased a tad in settings.
Looks good though, aiming skill seems to be back, H2A and H4 were way too easy to aim in. I also like the scale of the player models in relation to world size, more similar to H1 and H2, another reason why it's harder to land shots, your targets are smaller.

I wish the overshield had a charging sound. I didn't hear any sound at all when the user picked it up in that pro gameplay.
Light Rifle at a weird angle. See the floating scope?
Looks to be between 1600x900 and 1328x1080.

Aw yeah, you're right.
Yea, I'd ballpark it in that area as well.
Oh, also, those wallpapers were indeed official. They are on the Xbox backgrounds web page, and I think Major Nelson just tweeted the link to them.

The stupid helmets are kind of ruining Blue Team for me. Only the Chief looks good.

Eh. Linda's is a tad ridiculous looking, but Kelly and Fred both look fine, IMO.
Should've just given everyone a Mark V/VI helmet and called it a day. But I hate Linda and Fred's helmet the most. Osiris Team all got wicked armor and helmets. Kelly is fine, Chief is Chief but Fred's helmet looks awkward to me. I'd have just given him Carter, Jun or Jorge helmet from Reach, and Linda is just laughable with all those scopes. Obviously it's character building and whatnot as she's a Sniper, but come on, something nicer than that.
Imagine if Fred looked like this instead. Or had this. Sure it's obviously similar to Carter. But I think this looks much more badass and nicer.

Eh, I agree with Madness. Mark V or IV helmets would look much better.
Yeah, huge improvement. Fewer goofy details. A good strong shape.Should've just given everyone a Mark V/VI helmet and called it a day. But I hate Linda and Fred's helmet the most.

RIP Spartan IIIs, excluding Jun.
I think Fred looks OK. From the other things we've seen of him, I think it works. I kinda like how the Spartan IIs armor is a little more bulky than the super sleek IVs.
Be careful, this is bat country

Yeah, I'm not really liking the Spartan armor designs beyond Chief, Kelly, Tanaka and Fred.
I wish they all had a bit more character to their designs, while still retaining the industrial design cues of MJOLNIR armor. Halo Reach excelled at that.

I understand wanting each character to have their own visual identity, but I think it would have been cool if all of Blue Team were wearing essentially the same armour as the Chief, with Osiris getting the crazier looking stuff. It'd have been a nice way of showing the difference between the two teams.

All I know is Halo Reach really nailed the team full of Spartans thing.
They each feel different, yet look consistent to a degree. Also, I like the material their armor seems to be made of, where as Halo 5's armor looks kinda... weird.

I think all the armor designs in Halo 5 are great -- Buck being the only exception. He just looks really clunky and cumbersome to me. I'm not a fan of Tanaka's color scheme, either.
Vale, Locke, and Linda are definitely my faves. Kelly is great too.

Definitely agree. Check out Jorge, repping that Mark V armor. For all its personalization, it still feels correct. Solid design.
This is exactly what I wanted. Maybe give Blue Team some slight hue variation, a couple of custom details. No need to go all crazy with the helmets.
We could have had something like this:
Instead it's like: "Hey, Linda's a sniper, right? Let's encrust her face with scopes!"

lol nice

We could have had something like this:
I would have loved it if all the blue team members just had that armor scheme but with different colors, weapons, and a few added-on details (ammo packs, 1 or 2 view scopes, knife holsters and the like). But maybe that's because I grew up imagining them all in Moljinir Mark V armor reading the books and the like. I mean, the current blue team is fine and all, but Mark V is the best looking spartan armor ever. It's so iconic. Things need to be redesigned to hell to stay relevant though, I guess.
