Halo 5: Guardians Beta Thread | Hot Red on Blue Action

This game is pretty awesome. A new take on Halo, which I like.

All the weapons are so balanced. Don't like the sniper yet but I haven't used it much. Thought the pistol would be more powerful but maybe I'm not good with it yet.

I feel like I'm sprinting way too much which is annoying but oh well. They should have a spring meter that depletes and not give you unlimited sprint.

Teamwork seems key in this game as the maps are fairly large and spread out.

3 weeks of this should be fun but two maps will get played out after 1 week.

Not much of a MP person, but negative first impression. It feels slow and clunky, and more generic console shooter than Halo. Slowest player movement yet. Default left trigger to zoom is sadness.

It seems no one wants to make a proper arena shooter with quick movement, or it just wouldn't work with a pad.

I hope this zoom priority doesn't damage the campaign. I love the Menu music.

All the beeping noises have to be toned down, I haven't played all that much and it's already gratin' on my nerves.

There are 7 seven maps total in the Beta spread out over 3 weeks. Next week will have four more; Eden, Regret, Crossfire, and Trenches.

Haven't been able to get a match in almost 25 minutes now. Just stuck at loading slayer while players quit. Even full matches not going through, wait long enough and the excuse us prompt comes.

Twice now I have died because the weapon I have grabbed from a weapon spawn location has had half a clip, if you run past spawned guns you steal their ammo to the point where picking up what you think is a fresh gun really only has 5 shots in it.

Game is unplayable for me tonight. Lag is unbearable.

it must be connecting me to a distant data center due to low population, and the results are horrible.

Smooth gameplay and all of my matches have been ridiculously close (1 or 2 kills). I can live with this.

And the menu music. I left it on for a while, beautiful.

Tried out my first match and it's really good! I'm using the fish something button layout.

I keep clicking the right stick to zoom and is there a way to beatdown while running as opposed to the charge? Gameplay was flawless and the pistol is somewhat useful now.

Can't wait to play more after I'm done cooking.

I did the following (from the Twitch site):

To broadcast to Twitch from your Xbox One, the following must be true:
In your Profile, your presence is set to "Online"
In the Settings app under "Privacy and online safety", "See if you're online" is set to "Everybody" and "Broadcast gameplay" is set to "Allow".
In the Settings app under "Preferences", "Allow broadcasts and Game DVR uploads" is checked.
You must be playing a game. You cannot broadcast without first launching a game.

Also tried a hard reboot of my X1 and still no luck :(
