Compare to this:

Yeah. H5 is a hell of a lot better. So far.

: Oh. Why not just use Halocharts or Halotracker or whatever other knockoff is
: still around? Odds are they'll be infinitely better.

I'd have to switch to internet explorer app or whatever. I'm betting this will be integrated into the game. So, faster. Less steps.

: Looks good, but I don't care for the lighting. Toned down compared to H2. 343
: has this bad habit of wanting to darken things. I also don't like the
: weapon indicators on the ground above things. Quit holding hands.

Yeah, seems darker. Sanc was more vibrant.

Those weapon indicators weren't so bad at RTX. More invasive now, but at least they only show up when you're close.

: Didn't even notice them.

Right above radar. It's a good system, but the callouts they chose are whack. If you can customize them, I'll fix them.

: More agreed. Might change by launch? Placeholder and such.

Sure hope so.

: Agreed. And already been over this, well, this is 343 after all. I see a
: "Schooly Was Right" shirt or tag or something fitting in here
: somewhere, but whatever.

: The sounds are horrible. Another reason why I'll be looking forward to
: playing vanilla versions of the MCC. Their audio decisions in general have
: sucked hard since H4.

Should provide feedback on each sound at some point. They aren't all bad. For example, the campain's BR sounds fantastic. A++

The multiplayer carbine sound is awful, though.

: I think 343 wants you to love the DMR better. Sorry dude.

That's not gonna happen.

: "You don't like the duplicate Forerunner weapons we put in? Well, maybe
: we'll take those out and just add duplicate Halo weapons instead that are
: only slightly different! We'll call them medium range rockets as opposed
: to the real rockets which are not medium range rockets. It takes longer to
: aim and fire!"

: Or you can go with the other option: "We redesigned the classic rockets
: because this makes more sense for a mobile and agile force of Spartans in
: the field!"

Hoping they're just heavy rockets. Or a mortar. The rockets have looked the same since H:CE. Changing that would infuriate me.
