The speed of Halo 5 is a dream. The fact that they can pull this off smoothly on a 16+ multiplayer game is nothing short of miraculous for 343.

The amount of activity on the screen for a Warzone game is daunting in a technical sense (although I never felt overwhelmed as a player). You can have multiple heavy vehicles in sight simultaneously, while a dozen players are running around, and hostiles - Covenant, Prometheans - join the fray. Yet - on DAY ONE - there's no lag, no stuttering. Whoever's responsible for making multiplayer work in Halo 5... they had nothing to do with multiplayer in Halo MCC.

That's solid news for Haloers. I wonder if Microsoft actively stepped in here to prevent another MCC clusterfuck. -- nm - Shaun Oct 28, 09:09 4
- Sort of? The multiplayer stuff runs on Azure which is Microsoft's cloud based computing platform -- nm - JD Oct 28, 09:26 1
  - Cool. As a non-Xboner, I wasn't actively keeping tabs on it, but that's pretty solid. -- nm - Shaun Oct 28, 09:30
- It's a textbook example of building new code rather than performing maintenance on code you didn't write. -- nm - David Oct 28, 09:11 1
  - Whatever they did, assuming it holds up, seems to be working which is great. - Shaun Oct 28, 09:19
Maybe everyone is still playing the campaign. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 28, 09:00
I would guess that they took whoever was involved in MCC..... - groiny Oct 28, 08:55
Maybe only a few bought it? -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:55 2
- I can say, if MCC never came out, the chances that I would have Halo 5 right now would be 100% -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 08:56 1
  - Mine would fall at 99%, but agreed. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 09:00
