Well neither of us have any way to prove anything so it seems that we're just whistling Dixie. This whole thing is silly and has gotten out of hand. It went from "oh the guy will get banned" to hysteria about people losing jobs and such. Yeah, it's a possibility, most of us probably have no idea what will happen though, maybe nothing will come of it. Who really knows?
"Menu? Better inform the proper authorities."

Check out the matches from the Gamescom invitational. They're on YouTube and Twitch. I watched a few matches last night and then some more while eating breakfast this morning, lol. October 27 is too far away.

You mean like besides the fact that it's deeply, deeply obvious? These sort of external closed betas are behind NDAs 100% of the time.

Lmao.Holy shit I just read the thread though. Y'all a bunch of Rileys in here, lol.
The reason why the thread shifted the way it did was because no one gives a shit about menus. don't remember people bickering about nda(???) in the halo 5 ads leak thread Or gears ultimate. Or people like cboat dropping bombs.

Still going.
and you fail to know what a beta is
The game comes out in 3 months, they aren't going to rework their whole menu in just 3 months.
[edit]
2 months, actually.
And it'll be going gold even sooner.

NDA was broken. No wiggle room around it.

Just to be sure.

It's nice to see a Halo game with actual audio options for once.
There was no reason to do that, if GAF was a fraternity, you would not be allowed to go to any of the parties in fear you would call the policePlease read other previous posts.
Quoting that name over and over again doesn't help, by the way.

The problem isn't the that the content released is relatively benign. The issue is that this is the 2nd time a beta for MS facilitated by the same company had content under nda leaked.
This type of behavior spoils the relationship between MS and the company and if it continues, could lead to MS dumping them and going with another vendor.

If the menu leak was posted from a scan the post would be deleted right?

I find these leaks outrageous! Can't a guy just have an absolute pure fiddling with new menu experience anymore with another dude ruining the dawn of the new era of halo menus???
I am offended, distressed, outraged and flabbergasted!

"Menu? Better inform the proper authorities."
Oh my.
I heard from people that played the game before it released that it worked almost flawlessly before launch, then 1/2 weeks before release after a dashboard update things went really bad. Don't know how reliable this info is, though.
Halo 4 worked perfectly at launch (except for file browser) and friends that played H5 beta told me the same, so I think H5 will work at launch.
The fact that they're doing external QA makes me think I'm going to be right.

From MS:
"It's unfortunate when work-in-progress content leaks, but this Halo 5: Guardians content is part of our ongoing private, external testing for multiplayer. We will continue to rigorously test Halo 5: Guardians to ensure the best possible experience for fans at launch."

Ignoring all the NDA / Dobber shenanigans, main thing is it's great to see Audio Options in a Halo title.
I figure this has been introduced as a result of the quite justified complaints regarding the Halo 4 mix, so giving end users the ability to tweak what they want.
Regardless of that the actual audio mix is going to have to be a LOT more consistent that it was in Halo 4! I don't want to have to be adjusting levels between cutscenes and gameplay thanks!

Yes, without his forensic investigative work there was no way anyone else could have worked it out.

Man i love that music! had to play it again this morning
Would anyone have snitched like that or just stayed on topic and discussed the menu's? This guy went out of his way to basically get someone in trouble with in the first 3 posts of the thread.

"Went out of his way"
Haha, no. The guys GT is visible in the video, so unless watching it was "going out of his way" I don't think so.

Wouldn't 343i have had the new dashboard update running before it was released to the public or even released to beta testers?

Once again I hope the customization is crazy with Halo.
On the topic of NDAs, how would someone go about trying to test games on the side as a little job? I have a career but I wouldn't mind playing video games on the side for cash.

No one cares about menus, which is why theyre redesigning their whole dashboard.

Thanks man. Do you know how likely it is for people who apply to get approved and how many hours they can test a week? (Also there is no word on how much they get paid per hour)
It's your local minimum wage. Hours are completely random and as they are announced. As long as you sign all the documents, you'll be accepted. MKe sure you read through them though.

Having been a tester before I will tell you to not expect a glamorous job in which you will be playing all the hottest upcoming titles early. If you decide to pursue testing just remember you are there to make the game better, you are not there to entertain yourself. Does that mean fun cannot be had at all? No, you are playing a video game after all.

I'm surprised that a lot of GAF members don't talk about how they are apart of this. It sounds like a sweet deal: play video games in your free time and just record your reactions and complaints in a professional manner. These hours of test times must be inconvenient.
I wouldn't be expecting a lot of fun but just a nice relaxing way to earn money while I sit at home where I would have not done anything productive.
Well, there was a thread about it about a year back where a lot of members signed up and it effectively became free marketing for VMC so mods shut it down. There's a lot of people here that are apart of it though.
You can PM me if you have any specific questions. Most users don't talk about it because they don't want to risk their job. It's like Fight Club.

No idea on approval rate, but be aware that approval does generally take a while (think a few months).
You aren't likely to get more than one session per week, and a session lasts between 1 and 4 hours. You'll get paid at least minimum wage for your area, but I think it's possible for some projects to offer more.

All I have to say is good job Taker34. A lot of people are criticizing you in this thread, but you did the right thing regardless of what anyone else thinks.
Hopefully all possible punitive action is taken against the leaker.

Its not that I agree with any kind of NDA breaking act. However, what was leaked was something very minor that just doesnt spoil anything... That said, I believe it is just childish to snitch such a thing, and if there are people who should look into it (search and punish), theyre from MS or 343 themselves.
Again, breaking NDA is wrong and should not be done. I would never do it. But it wasnt anything harmful, so I would not snitch the guy either.

Walks into thread. See people on insanely high horses on page 1. Walks out of thread.
At least take a look at it all! The more I kinda look over it, the more I like it. I hope the card pack opening has some cool animations
