[Madness]

When do multi-player impressions come up? Can someone who has the game and is playing tell me the emblem situation? I mean can we really no longer customize them like we used to?

 

[SwolBro]

i'm really not liking the sound of that BR.

Between this and the initial kicking out of a ton of members, it's easy to see why HaloGAF had its thread taken away.

Too soon, it stings

 

[dragonelite]

When can i expect some multiplayer footage?

 

[maximrace]

Patch goes live 9:00 AM PDT, translates to 18:00 CEST I think. So after that I would assume

 

[Bits N Pieces]

think I saw on Twitter that we might start seeing some streams around 8pm tonight, BST. Not 100% sure though.

 

[Sikamikanico]

I'll be streaming with Mixmisterchief and Blue Ninja tonight as soon as the patch is live. We'll diving into multiplayer, and co-op campaign.

Live streaming on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2t2Eunam9Dw-RAsrpplfOA - via this channel. Will be a 60 FPS stream too, so nice and delicious.

How do i know if i have the right version preloaded? I got a message on xbox yesterday saying to do: left trigger + right trigger + view button and to make sure its version 0.0.3 and not 0.0.2 but it doesnt say either....

Games and Apps -> menu button on the H5 preload -> Manage Game.

If it's 40-odd gigs, you're good.

Pretty sure those are from completely random people not associated with this site. "Easy to see", lol.

I wonder if the population is even going to be high enough for reviewers to play MP all day on a stream?

Typically it is customs and dedicated online sessions (i.e ask everyone to be online within a specific time period).

For sure

Doubtful - we have been given set time frames on when to jump on to maximise population and real world network conditions. First one of those is on Friday though.

 

[Bornstellar]

Any footage out there of campaign co-op in the first 3 missions?

Was watching RULs legendary stream, and there seems to be tons of great co-op opportunities in the level design.

Yup, if it says 46.1GB then you're good. If it is 40GB (or less) then you have the placeholder and will need to uninstall and reinstall.

 

[NippleViking]

To those of the press having a burl at multiplayer later, could you please get some footage of Warzone: Raid? There are supposed to be 3 unique maps for the raid mode, though presently only one map with barely 10 seconds of footage in total - spliced into sizzle-reels - has been shown (that city one). Would really like to see a more detailed look at the map, the remaining two, and the mode itself.

 

[BraXzy]

So err.. Theres a countdown site for Halo 5... Yeah...

Where has this hand thing come from? I keep seeing it xD

Warzone is entirely dependent on matchmaking. Not available in customs, so depends if there is enough population to start a game. We can but try, but I'm guessing Friday is a better bet.

It's from reddit, someone posted a picture of Frankie doing the victory hand gesture, saying "Two weeks till Halo 5."

Then they photoshopped to "One week to Halo 5", leaving only his middle finger.

Then they photoshopped it to "Six days to Halo 5", showing 6 fingers.

Honestly when I saw the thread 117 hours until launch, I expected the worst.

Can you guys show all of the maps at that point? Can we get walkthroughs of the maps we haven't seen?

 

[Darryl M R]

What time should the patch go live? I want to see multiplayer.

 

[Trup1aya]

Man I hope there's enough population to get some good Warzone vids. I wanna know what this Warzone assault is all about .

 

[Archpath1]

Have fun you jerks

Hope you get bronze tier

 

[orichalcos]

Even one hour. Relax.

 

[Anfony O]

Excuse my ignorance but how are some of these people playing early?

 

[Poodlestrike]

Excuse my ignorance but how are some of these people playing early?

Press copies, mostly.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Looking forward to watching some Multiplayer tonight. Hoping to buy the game next week but not sure if I will be able to jump in right away.

 

[VincentMatts]

Should be out today.

Nice thx

 

[Lakitu]

Will they be showing warzone today?

 

[orichalcos]

Will they be showing warzone today?

Yes. I start my stream with warzone.

 

[Ramirez]

Will they be showing warzone today?

Sik said the first scheduled press MP play session is tomorrow, so I doubt there will be enough people on for WZ today.

^ or maybe there will be, guess we'll find out.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Cough.

You have to tell me if you're a cop.

 

[maximrace]

Patch is in 3hours I think
