Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Oct 27, 2015, 03:22 PMHalo 5 and Destiny: TTK now have the same Meta

For now!

Gametrailers and videogamer will probably give a 9 and 10 respectively.

Gametrailers is going to bring it back to 85.

Review will be up in an hour or so.

Nevermind, they gave it a 9.0. Guess Ben warmed up to campaign after his initial impression.

Halo 5's aiming is broken - Confirmed By 343 - NeoGAF

QuoteI've recently posted in the Halo thread about how much trouble I was having with Halo 5 multiplayer. Although I was a competitive player in all the other Halo games I have been struggling in Halo 5. A Redditor has done some research and found that aiming along the horizontal and vertical axis is quicker than aiming diagonally.Here is the thread. - Credit to u/z0oinksHere is an example of the issue This basically breaks Halo 5 for competitive players. 343 have responded to the issue and advised they are looking into it.
QuoteYou should rest assured that anything that makes the front page (or first few pages, really) is not only looked at and fully reviewed, but immediately discussed with game and services teams who are rotating on 24/7 shifts. That said, many of you have likely seen Ghost's reply in the other thread, but we're also passing this on to the right folks to ensure that everything is working correctly. Thanks for taking the time to put together, u/z0oinks

Good thing our bets ended on wednesday!

I could see it even going to 84. The servers are fine, but it's just not that great of a game. MP isn't as awesome as early reviewers thought it was.

Do you think the multiplayer population will hold up? Halo 4 MP tanked really quickly compared to previous games.

I'm not sure, and sadly we have no way to track it.

What's wrong with the multiplayer?
