Multiplayer Online Battle Arena

Do you know what DotA, League of Legends, Smite, etc. is?

(LoL is the biggest game in the world. DotA isn't far behind.)

I speedrun H2, and have quite a few top 10 levels without the use of skulls. (Runs with skulls are disqualified by GDQ and HaloRuns.com)

Motion trackers are completely useless when speedrunning, because I already know what happens during my line.

I've possibly heard of League of Legends??

But no, I know nothing about any of those.

Review embargo just lifted. The reviews for multiplayer (both Arena and Warzone) seem to all be super positive. Ryan McCaffrey, who is the main Xbox guy at IGN, said it is the best multiplayer since H2.

I haven't really seen anything negative about the gameplay. I've seen a couple reviews mention how they don't like how it occasionally dips from 1080 to maintain 60fps.

All the issues seem to be with campaign. I haven't really noticed a trend yet with it on the reviews I have read outside of there being too much Locke in it and he is just too bland to carry so much of the story. Giant Bomb said something like they just wanted to skip what Locke was doing to see what Chief was up to because his story was much more interesting.

I am a bit disappointed about the story stuff, but I am ecstatic to hear all of the positive things about multiplayer.

Reddit review thread

Most companies are holding off on adding scores until the game actually launches because of the MCC

From the Verge:

quote:

Halo 5 is a beautifully paced, expertly designed shooter that puts the series right back at the top of the video game world.

Don’t play Halo 5 for its story, then. Play Halo 5 because it’s bursting with invention, an absolute masterclass in how to craft a first-person shooter, and the best reason yet to own an Xbox One. For all its technical quirks and plot deficiencies, Halo is once again the best time you can have shooting aliens in the face.
