Halo at 4k/120fps. Is that what you want?
I get what you're saying and know a few will agree. But id rather they just used what ever funky resolution they choose and stick to 60fps.
Cause that's exactly what I said you moron. ;DXX:SD_SD:
)There's a difference between having a perfectly good framerate and a crisp image and this.
You should read everything written in the discussion.
There are gameplay, physics and control inputs also happening at 60fps, not just the pixels being rendered.

Calm down lads. Calm down.
Nah. I'd rather you answer my question.

Can you not just tell everyone it is Monday at Microsoft so we can get some Halo 5 Campaign and Multiplayer footage? I want to know what this new Game Mode for Halo 5 is.
Ah hell, just two more days. The Witcher 3 is getting me through it though.

Yeah
Fuck resolution if it means sacrificing scope and stable 60fps
Also I feel dirty for agreeing with you.

in mcc is it possible to save footage of my games player through theatre like in h3? cant find the option. xbox dvr takes the piss to load up

avatar material.
Shouldn't those be decoupled? e.g. Forza. Dunno, maybe the engineers should clarify (no offense).

Yeah, I'll pretty much always take 60 fps over image quality for a multiplayer shooter. There's only so much they can do with the XO hardware.
Loved that section in Reach, cant wait for more.
Oh, great. We're bitching about resolution and framerate again. Didn't 343 come right out and say from the beginning that the game was 1080/60? The Beta was in 720p but I believe they released a statement saying that they were focused more on how the game played than how it looked at that moment. This resolution/framerate debate has gotten pretty out of control.
Edit: I would link to them talking about it on techradar but I can't figure out how to link it from my phone, but just Google Halo 5 1080p 60fps.

Well, they never actually said it would be 1080p. 60fps, yes, but never 1080. And frankly, I'm okay with that.

They only said that for MCC. They've only said 60FPS for halo 5, no word of resolution.

The only thing they said regarding resolution was that it would be higher then the 720p resolution of the Beta.
Apparently when the game was first announced in 2013 the statement issued promised 1080/60 but that same statement also said it would be out in 2014 so I'm not sure we can trust that at all. Still though, same here. If the game is fun I don't give a fuck what resolution it runs at.

How about we just wait two days to have these debates and not jump to conclusions about a game's final resolution based on a beta 1 year out.
We all appreciate your sincere concerns, though.
I don't think we ever made any such claim. That was MCC.

They've only committed to 60 frames, nothing else during the announcement. And they were super smart with their "And your journey begins this fall" statement, which left them with more then ambiguity to have MCC be that "journey".

They promised ONLY 60fps. You know, Bonnie Ross @E3 2013 and blistering 60fps statement.
Nope! For Halo 5. https://youtu.be/YFCjkqTRmwk?t=181

There will always be concessions but my opinion frame rate is key for Halo since it's a competitive shooter. If they manage 900p60fps that will be impressive on this hardware.

And there you go.
Without putting words in your mouth Stinkles, I think the 1080p native discussion can be put to bed... It ain't happening. In a way I'm pleased. Because I don't want it taking priority over other things.
P.S perhaps you should change your avatar no??

A good image quality is as important as a good framerate to me.
Muddy 720p with a lot of aliasing is not something to be happy about...

Good thing for you it won't be 720p then aye
I was talking about date primarily. You can argue about resolution on Monday, but it's all WIP.

60fps is definitely much better for Halo, but what I really want is for the controls to be refined. What makes the old games feel dated are the somewhat delayed and sluggish inputs and aim acceleration. ODST is probably my favorite game and it's been difficult for me to sit through and play it again. Maybe the port has issues? Either way, it just feels slower than I remember.
I'm not fond of Sprint in Halo, but I hope that Halo 5 has indeed sped up the general movement and handling of the game.

Hate to reference that silly 'pastebin leak' (99% likelihood of being fake) from E3 2013, but would a setup with a 1080p HUD & weapon with Halo2Anny resolution be possible:
"There are a few drawbacks with aiming for 60 FPS. First the game will not render in native 1080p. Current resolution on display plane 2 is 1920x720 (1,3 Megapixel compared to 2 for 1080p), display plane 1 (HUD an weapon) will be native 1080p. You literally cant tell the difference."
I'm just curious if such a method is feasible. Personally, I found Halo 2: Anniversary to be largely a charming game to look at. The only garish part to the visuals, was having a big non-native-resolution weapon, blotting out a quarter of my screen at all times. Would love for that to be amended.

No need to keep repeating that, I'm aware the ADS implementation in Halo 5 is nowhere near as awful as in most modern console shooters, I've said it many times myself; but the fact is, it is not completely cosmetic (as they said it would be back when we first saw that ADS gif) and yes, IMO it is still a terrible addition to Halo (or any shooter, really)
If you wanna keep trying to rationalize 343's decision, go ahead, but at the end of the day, both its visual implementation (gun in the middle of the screen) and the mechanical changes made to the aiming model (for autos at least) and control schemes (LT to aim control scheme users not needing to worry about de-scoping) are there to appeal to the modern shooter crowd.
The sad thing is, I could totally see them implementing full blown ADS in Halo 6 (with its usual accuracy and movement speed penalties) They probably wanted to avoid an even bigger backlash from fans, and they are just implementing ADS in phases. I hope I'm wrong, though, we definetly don't need the console shooter market to be even more homogeneous than it already is.
Awesome.
Now we just need that classic scope option and everything would be perfect (well, almost, but since I pretty much never use automatic weapons I can live with the other changes)
It has in a few ways. Slightly increased base speed (over the beta) - 60fps simulation - meaning almost everything is tracked at the higher frequency, including control inputs and other stuff.
I think - and you will see this in multiplayer footage - the clamber and other mobility improvements really increase the map navigation speed and increase your movement options radically.
This is my personal opinion, so take it with a pinch of salt and remember it's subjective, but now the game feels to me like a fast Halo, with a depth of advanced movement and offensive controls (ground pound, charge etc) that feels almost like a fighting game in terms of how you can chain things together on the fly. There are going to be some epic multikill movies from that, and it's going to add another layer of control mastery to the skill tree for the game.
100% wrong.

Appreciate the reply. Perhaps the framerate difference is why the MCC is feeling sluggish to me; the controller inputs are tracked at a lower framerate or something?
I don't necessarily mind a "slower-paced" game, but the handling and feedback in particular were some reasons why I couldn't get into the beta.
I do like the concept of mobility options, but the flow of the game with them present was a mystery to me. On the one hand, it felt like you'd die quickly if you were caught sprinting or clambering, but on the other hand it seemed like it was easy to evade combat, primarily with thrusting. The latter is one of my issues with sprint in Halo, but the main problem is the overall size of maps potentially being elongated to account for that increased mobility. Larger maps can make the game feel slower. I imagine it's been tough to find a balance between the kill times. I'd prefer something faster than we've seen in the last few games, but at the same time I don't want the intimacy of the combat to be lost or distorted between the abilities and quicker kill times.
The changes made post-beta look good so I wont be able to comment on handling or pacing until I play the new iteration. Pacing can be adjusted, so it's that controller feedback I'm really hoping 343 was able to refine.

Like i said before I have the feeling this game will be around the 720p ballpark.

If it ends up being 720-900p prepare for the shitstorm.

Why would 900p be a shitstorm?
If it's running at 60fps no FPS fan is going to complain that the game is 900p for the sake of a solid 60fps FR.
