I mean, that's a screenshot from the game. Complete with aliasing and compression artifacts and so on. Sure you're not usually playing with the HUD turned off from that viewpoint, but it's more or less representative.

Frankie with the logic burn.

Have you guys thought about doing a free to play multiplayer version of H5 with paid REQ packs/maps/etc? Halo 5 MP is SO DAMN GOOD. There's no way it wouldn't line people up for Halo 6.

Retail H5: Campaign - Earn points in MP to buy REQ packs - All Maps free

F2P H5: Campaign sold separately - REQ packs are real money only - Maps are sold separately.

now we just need confirmation, officially, of the continuation of monthly (or so) free content. some hints and teases would also be welcomed

We might get that in the next stream. They also haven't met their promised 15+ maps or whatever so there should be some maps after this at the very least.

 

[op_ivy]

15+ maps? of course they have! havent you played malta, hazard, hanger, purple reign, shurima, optic prison and cobalt in addition to at least as many big team forge maps? don't forget the valentines day breakout remixes, i think those counted too

I refuse to believe they counted forge maps.

 

[Gwyn]

343 while you are at it add Halo Reach 60 fps in there
Stinkles plz

I'm just still surprised Pegasus is still in rotation .......

i, strangely enough, rarely get it in matchmaking. while were on the topic though, am i alone in thinking the beta version was superior to the one we got now? i liked the additional ramp up to the top area

 

[93xfan]

The multiplayer is amazing. Up there with Titanfall for me.

Easily for me as well. Didn't like the campaign, but the MP is so very, very good!!!

I'd rather play on Overgrowth than Pegasus O_O....

 

[jem0208]

Seriously?

At least pegasus has some sightlines and control positions. Even if its a bit unbalanced.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

Wish the Xbox one s was out already I had to sell my bone before e3 to get the best price. Hurry up August

 

[bman94]

81 fucking gigs? Not even going to bother, by the time that's downloaded I'll have like one day to play it.

Pegasus is the worst map in the game.

 

[jem0208]

Pegasus is the worst map in the game.

It really isn't that bad.


Overgrowth and Riptide are both far worse for slayer.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Pegasus is the worst map in the game.

And the ugliest. I have no clue why it still exists. Kill it with fire!

 

[Fata1moose]

Pegasus is the worst map in the game.

I think Overgrowth and Riptide are worse, that being said...

Pegasus has no business being there when there's a multitude of better forge maps to put into matchmaking.

 

[Jarrod38]

Time to rent the game at Redbox before next week.

 

[New002]

You're not dreaming

They're right!

Where do you live?

My shitty Canadian internet can just do that overnight

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Just picked it up for 10$ at best buy sunday.. mp is legit

 

[ZeezbruhTV]

81 gigs, lol enjoy people! and 50% off of 59.99? ugh

Fort Lauderdale, FL. The recent 20-something GB update on Killer Instinct took me like 2 and half days.

How the hell you got it so cheap?

 

[buddha0991]

Fort Lauderdale, FL. The recent 20-something GB update on Killer Instinct took me like 2 and half days.

Most of my other things updated real fast, including past KI updates, but that one specific update took me like 3 days, past ones of about the same size did in like an hour tops, I am guessing that one update or the Live servers were hammered during that

 

[Trup1aya]

My advice to any data sensitive folks who want to partake in this is to go rent the game for $2 at redbox, just for the install. That way, you'll only have to download the expansions.

MS is thankfully done with F2P (as far as I can tell). I hope they never go down that road again. I.E. I'm stoked that Sea of Thieves isn't F2P.

This game would be perfect as a F2p title though... It already has MTs in place. Just give the game out and don't change a thing

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch...

What could you possibly mean by this, in this context?

 

[Ryde3]

awesome! Let's keep this train going! Nice thread GOSU

 

[blue_phazon]

You really expect a drive by poster to come back here lol

 

[Lucky Seven]

I'll buy the game again. Been waiting for the game get fresh again.

 

[nillapuddin]

Should let you start pre-downloading now tbh. Just lock it from the main menu

 

[lucius]

Just got it digital but it's all good. Big game I filled up my hard drive in less than a week, will hook up an external this weekend.

 

[Hesemonni]

Stinkles plz

So say we all.

I would do ... things for such a release :/

 

[ParityBit]

Do you need to play Halo 4 SP before 5 SP?

 

[jem0208]

Probably a good idea if you want to understand what's going on in 5.

Hrm. Okay, is it BC or do I have took hookup my 360?

 

[jem0208]

It's playable at 60fps on the MCC which is currently less than $10 on cdkeys.com.

[Triggerhappytel]

This is a really good initiative; good on MS for doing this. I'm probably never going to own an Xbone, but Halo is the one MS series I consistently miss. There's just nothing else quite like it on consoles, and I even enjoyed Halo 4for the most part.

 

[Alpha Phoenix]

This game is an absolute nightmare to install. Don't be surprised if you spend an entire day just setting it up.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

I really dont get why this game turned out soo big in size when other games are way smaller but offer way bigger worlds etc

They should allow a option to only Download MP or SP.

 

[Leyasu]

Best fucking halo hands down, the multi is legit next level brilliance..... Just terribly let down by the BTB offering and fucking god awful server selection.

 

[JimiNutz]

I'm actually really excited to jump into MP.

I played the beta and loved it but then when the full game came out I had real issue with the gun aiming. The game just felt off and I found my first few hours with the game incredibly frustrating. Felt like I suddenly couldn't hit anything (where as I had no trouble in the beta).

I never really went back to the game and eventually sold it without having played it for more than those first few hours.

I later read that there was some kind of aiming glitch that seemed to only effect some controllers - particularly 'Day One' controllers.

Was that glitch ever fixed?

Not sure about an aiming glitch, but the sensitivity in H5 is different then any other Halo,it was a sticking point for some, so they've added a crazy amount of aiming options since, like PC FPS level of options.

Yes. And now you can configure the aim in 5 ways:

- vertical sense
- horizontal sense
- acceleration
- inner dead zone
- outer dead zone

I believe the Beta had acceleration to 2. Also by default in Halo 5, the vertical is lower than the horizontal. I believe in older halos they were the same values

 

[Garcia el Gringo]

So I won't have to swap discs for a week to play Halo 5? This lazy guy is happy!

I'm somewhat frugal, and was loving GCU discounts for a while, but my preferences have slowly shifted to being all digital on Xbox One after I bought Halo 5 physically. For me, the value of most retailer discounts would especially be cancelled out by future Halo games going Xbox Play Anywhere.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to playing with (against) many newcomers come the Free Play Days.

If you do get it set both deadzones to 0% then fuck about with the aim acceleration till you find one you like, 2 seems to be the one most like.

 

[AlStrong]

I'd argue it does, maybe not in motion as with any game, but in screenshots it can look even better (my own sceens here)

Photomode pls.

 

[Fireball]

The new player harvest begins!

My first thought, too

:-D

Spoiler

no, im not that good. but fresh meat will be fun.

I had no problems but even if you do it's worth the hassle.
