Took the week off work for this. Were getting close!

 

[Diablohead]

MP seems rather empty for those looking for matches on twitch

 

[cool_dude]

Also took a week off to go to midnight launch and play all week!

well thats what happens if you lock out most of the population .....

Reviewers and pros gotta sleep too. It won't be empty for much longer!

I took a week off too!! If you're playing through the day and want to team up GT: Draughn

 

[QuantumSquid]

I believe the people with MP access were given specific times to play the game, and I don't think right now is one of those times. 1 PM EST was one of the scheduled times on a previous day, so maybe it's 1 PM today as well? Stinkles probably knows more about this than I do.

yes true but where did all the pro players go! suddenly all went to bed at the same time? lol

 

[Distresssss]

I dunno. If you were on the embargo email it should say there. Otherwise the 27th.

I'm more interested in when the whitelist ends.


Will it end when the game officially launches in the first territory (less than twenty hours) or is the whitelist going to continue until it launches in the U.S.?


Very important question.

 

[Sai]

I'm not really feeling the reason for the light weapons to all be needlers now.

It's just the Suppressor and Bolt Shot that are like that, right?

Speaking of the latter, they got rid of the charged shot, right? Does it have another alternate firing mode?

Funny story about that...back when Halo 2 and 3 came out, everyone happened to coincidentally take those days off, including my boss at the time. Everyone was arguing and laughing about why they needed those next couple days off and when someone mentioned Halo everyone lost it.

Stinkles alluded to the release time in NZ.

Stinkles alluded to the release time in NZ.

Where did he post that? Can you link it?

Ok all right thank you Frank, also I heard about your injury I hope that you are feeling better now

Gaffer: "It will probably be unlocked when the game releases in New Zealand."

Stinkles: "this is not crazy talk"

 

[draughn101]

It'll probably be unlocked as soon as the game is released in New Zealand.

this is not crazy talk

No, just the triple burst that tracks.

We were given specific times when we ought to look for matches, to ensure a decent-sized pool of players. Right now is not one of those times. A new Warzone window starts in about five minutes, I think.

 

[Ramirez]

Yeah, 1 scorpion is tolerable. But 3, plus a wraith, plus Gauss at one time was just crazy.

I mean, you're watching Gamesager, those kids made a living in Reach making lives miserable with vehicles. Your average MM team isn't going to be doing this.

 

[Theorry]

Some Warzone.

Warzone scoring, is it like strongholds where you get points for each kill if you have a base, with a multiplier if you have several bases? Or is it like territories were you rack up points, by time, with each additional base held?

The latter, but kills count as one point too. At least I think that's how it works.

Plus all of the VP you get from other objectives.

 

[ViciousDS]

warzone has AI too correct?

 

[Sai]

warzone has AI too correct?

Yes. Even friendly Marine AI pop up as you capture bases.

 

[AAMARMO]

Does anyone know when the servers are going be on.

 

[Sai]

When the game releases in New Zealand. Look a few posts up.

 

[ViciousDS]

ssssooooo badass

basically planetside Halo style with AI companions.

Warzone is going to be my main mode to play, I love just having fun with buddies

 

[op_ivy]

How long till they fix the animation glitch where Spartans legs go through the drop door in the pelican during the warzone intro? Total nitpick, but its glaring.

 

[Diablohead]

put that AR away son.

Kidding

 

[op_ivy]

Holmbom had that AR with a massive scope. Pretty rad, but it seemed kind of useless as it zoomed way beyond its useful range.

I did wonder what was going on with the laser sights and scopes on weapons, is it a unlimited use card or do you have to change the AR itself in the menu?

I've seen an SMG with some sort of light barrel silencer, it still shot SMG bullets but the enemy would die like he was hit with a light rifle.

They are unlimited use cards, but still require req points to use. So, a few minutes into a warzone match you can call in your awesome dmr with a bayonet and then spawn with it each time you die till the end of the match.

 

[Glass]

I kind of hope they add an extra layer of customisability to your spartan: the under suit. We've seen a bunch of variations across the games, and having large parts of the undersuit red or blue in 5 homogenizes a lot of the armour. It's a lot harder to tell armour apart (as a spectator at least).

 

[TheOddOne]

Halo 5's Warzone was on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Season 3, episode 3).

Reminds me of Halo 4 showing up in Heart of Dixie.

Correct we all had a spreadsheet with specific times and match types.

 

[BeforeU]

are they going to reset the ranking once servers are up for everyone?

 

[Blue Ninja]

I would assume so. They reset the rankings after the first day as well.

Huh?

 

[Stinkles]

Ok all right thank you Frank, also I heard about your injury I hope that you are feeling better now

It's turned a very unusual color. Looks a bit like a Wraith in damaged state.

Goodness. What did you injure?

Please don't share pictures.

Apply some Specter Oil

 

[Glass]

I sense a new Wraith design for Halo 6.

 

[draughn101]

Warzone looks awesome. I wasn't sure I'd like it

 

[Exploratory]

Yeah they played split screen at the end of that scene. lol I mean why would you let that happen 343? Was such a weird moment in a great episode.

 

[Ramirez]

Holmbom had that AR with a massive scope. Pretty rad, but it seemed kind of useless as it zoomed way beyond its useful range.

So it doesn't add range to it? That's odd, figured the whole point of the attachments was to change the stats of the weapon or something, like the bayo.

 

[gAg CruSh3r]

Has there been any word on infection gametype or any gameplay of it?

 

[Stinkles]

Goodness. What did you injure?

Ok.

 

[Akai__]

lol

 

[Spasm]

Cankles.

Honestly, it could have been holmbom being holmbom, is so excited to try something new out he kept forcing it in inappropriate situations.

 

[Ramirez]

Where am I? How did we get here?

 

[Bsigg12]

I do think the weapons like the AR and SMG with the long barrel and scope get effective range increases.
