    Halo 5 Multiplayer Beta

    Hello, friends.

    It's about time for discussion to pick up regarding the upcoming Halo 5 Multiplayer Beta, included within the soon-to-be-released Master Chief Collection.

    Today we received our first glimpse of gameplay changes, in the form of ADS (aim-down-sights) shooting with at least one weapon (which appears to be Halo's old staple the Battle Rifle). We also see the return of sprinting, a contentious gameplay element which, while compensated for by temporarily removing the ability to use weapons, introduces complications to designing multiplayer maps which serve classic Halo gameplay philosophies of timing and map control.

    As most of us already know, bullet spread has been with us since the original Halo, if less visible, making Halo 4's emphasized reticle bloom an almost non-issue. That said, I think the introduction of ADS poses a secondary issue, in that, if we assume that Halo 5 behaves like its contemporaries, ADS will inhibit speed of movement, further exacerbating movement changes introduced by sprinting.

    What are your thoughts on the new changes to gameplay? Look forward to more discussion in the coming weeks as more information surfaces.

    UPDATE: It didn't take long for the web-wide outcry to reach 343, who have commented on the situation.

    it's no longer halo. when you have to add collision blockers to a map that didn't have them to keep a map working, gameplay has changed enough that it's no longer the same game.

    I was planning to buy an Xbox One and the MCC, but now I'm thinking I'm going to have to wait until I can get a used copy. I'd rather skip out on the beta and be a conscientious observer than give 343 any honest dev money.

    Plan to buy a gaming PC instead, this geration of consoles has proved how horrible they are on multiple levels... Hardware being significantly more lackluster than previous generation, games offering no significant graphical improvements, marketing building up massive hype for mediocre games... It's not worth it at all anymore. Build yourself a cheap-mid range gaming PC for $600 - $1500 insite a mini-itx steam machine type chassis (I recommend the Silverstone Raven RVZ01) and get an all-around better experience.
