Halo 5: Guardians Beta spectator mode and more info
The Halo 5: Guardians beta is almost here! And with the release coming closer we get some more info on what to expect from it when it becomes available.
Jay Frechette, who hosts the Bulletin on the Halo Channel, sat down with 343i's executive producer Josh Holmes to discuss the upcoming beta and what we can expect.
First off we see that the beta as it is now has been thoroughly tested not only by 343i themselves but by a lot of pro circuit playes like Ghandi and Pistola. Their feedback is obviously very important as is ours when we get our hands on.
Next up they bring up implementing something entirely new to the Halo series, but not very new to first person shooters, called spectator mode. If you want to watch one of your friends kicking butt you now have the option to do so without sitting next to them.
(...or having them know if you're into creeping)
There will be a few seconds delay on the watchers end so you can't cheat by having someone ghost and calling out where the enemies are. Pretty neat feature if I may say so myself! And it is ofcourse available in the beta.
Last up they mention an interactive feature in the beta. We, the players, can cast a vote each week on a poll that 343i puts up containing something that will be implemented that week. And lucky us they give away what we get to vote on in week 2 and 3. In week 2 we get to vote for which power weapon gets placed on what map and week 3 we get to vote which map we'll get to play.
The beta will drop 29th of December and will run untill the 19th of January. Happy New Year!
