Yeah no worries. I think I won 6/10 games when a 6.4 KDA. Wasn't too challenging.

Is KDA just kills + assists / deaths?
Edit : trying to Google it, there's conflicting info about the formula.

Nothing! I said nothing!
I need all the good players to bugger off up the rankings or whatever they use. It's a massacre.

Yeah. It's the only measurement 343 tracks in game. They don't have a K/D rate. They also track win percentage and accuracy I think.

So how is everyone enjoying the campaign? Might be a bit before I can pick this up.

The kill steals are real in FFA. And Pegasus is a fucking terrible map.

Yeah, after spending quite a bit of time in the MP I don't think I can go back to The Master Chief Collection. The game is so good and so smooth (FPS and Netcode). In love with the game, 343i and especially Stinkles
because we all know Frank did 99% of the game, you guys did a fantastic job!
My brother may not like the game (not a Halo player, spent two solid years playing Battlefield 4, and #1 Top Dogfighter in the World), you'll hear him complaining about the health system in some of my games. I'll be starting up campaign much later today, just got off of the game. I'll also be trying out some Warzone.
Again, great work 343i! The game is amazing.
(Team Frankie, all glory to Frankie!)

I can't seem to save any of my Halo 5 screenshots at all. :/
Jeez Frank, are you sleeping on the plane? Haha.
I need to add you guys for some multi later

So quick question, did anyone else have to redownload the 55gb game? My file size was already 54.6gb and I made sure that it was updated like 343 said... Yet this morning, getting up early for work, and bam, have to redownload the whole damn thing.
Any solutions that you've all found?

This is a game fully made by 343 without outsourcing, it isn't a disaster like MCC in any stretch of the imagination. Rock solid all the way.

They did an amazing job, enjoying the multiplayer more than any other Halo to date if we are being honest.

Hope you're ready to get rekt online, kid.
So...
The Bad:
1) shotguns suck, especially the not-human one. I mean, we haven't had a good once since Halo 1, so maybe I shouldn't feel too bad, but I do.
2) not enough "observe/plan/shoot" encounters that define Halo; more like "continually move forward into a Killzone/Call of Duty-esque fight arena."
3) not using the Halo Shield Beep and going with something way less original
4) I thought I was supposed to get a cool skin thing when I bought the game from Best Buy. I did not. What gives?
5) Enemies are too spongey relative to the damage they output. Knights can OHK you on Heroic
6) Checkpointing is bad--one checkpoint had my entire fireteam down with half a second to save one of them, and the only way to fix it was to restart the entire level.
7) Why is Kelly speaking with a British accent when she grew up in the same place as all the other kids? This is Halo 5's "How do the Fallen Know What Wolves Are," clearly.
8) What is the Domain and why should I care? Is this more of that "you have to read the novels" stuff? Because ew.
Honestly? Heroic is garbage, just like it was in Halo 4. Halo Reach had Heroic perfected to a science. It's like that difficulty was made just for me. Here? I'm going down every minute or two. I can't play Halo like Halo. Instead I have to hide behind cover and shit, which isn't a fucking Halo game.
The Good
1) Kills feel great when they happen.
2) Sounds are nice and punchy.
3) Particles are off the chain.
4) 60 FPS was a good call.
5) This game looks gorgeous.
6) That rocket punch/groundpound thing is pretty neat.
7) The cutscenes manage to make every spartan look super cool.
Overall:
The difficulty balance and checkpointing is awful. A lot of stuff that makes Halo Halo isn't... really at the fore, if present at all. ADS is terrible because it supports the whole "hang back and pick enemies off" rather than "get right in there and wreck things" approach. The fights feel really nice when you're winning, but there are way too many enemies who can just like "oh hi let me drop you in a single hit" right now, and that's utterly destroying my fun.
Seriously, what is it with 343 and awful difficulty balance? Halo 4 was this way too: normal is way too easy, and Heroic is like "almost Legendary but not." Chatting with some friends going through Halo CE, they were remarking that Legendary feels unusually difficult as well, like the difficulty got changed. What's 343's problem?
And how do the Fallen know what wolves are?

I had to wake up to play a bit. Simply put, playing Halo has never been better. The more open levels, the sharp as a razor AI and boosting around with the gunplay at a silky 60fps is perfection. Nailing that down with a game that is still plenty good enough to look at was without question the right way to go. The game is a finely tuned beast.

It's a big night for them.
They got levels like Tsavo Highway or Assault on the Control Room?

Downloading now! Can't wait to play on my lunch break! The hype is real.
Played through the first two missions on Heroic last night. First thing that grabs you, yes the game is smooth, incredibly so. I'm useless at spotting frame rates but even I could tell instantly this was different to other Halo games. Graphically it looks pretty good to me, not mind blowing, but for the amount of stuff that's happening on screen it seems pretty impressive to me. But I must say even I can see the lower update of some of the enemies in the distance and as I said I'm crap at spotting frame rates. The gameplay seems pretty solid and as the Story is so early on I really can't comment.
Haven't played online as yet, as I tend to get booted off teams anyway as I'm shite,I can't understand when a team gets pissed as I constantly get 0-2 kills and 10 -15 deaths, doesn't help as half the time I forget which colour team I am so send to shot at anything that moves.

It's currently an addiction. Gotta go for 1 more match or 1 more campaign mission seems to be a thing for me until I notice I have finished way way more than just 1 mission or 1 match. 343 did a magnificent job! Congrats!
Serious question here.
I get the gameplay similarities between Halo 5 and Destiny. The style, the enemies (even Halo 4 Prometheans = Vex), their abilities, player abilities (ground slam), REQ/engrams, hell, they probably worked from the same design docs at the beginning.
But why the names? Guardians? Osiris??? That's oddly specific copying. Trials of Osiris isn't that big a part of Destiny anyway - or does 343 know something we don't? Do they believe the leaks about Destiny 2 and how it's supposed to revolve around Osiris? They want to be first to the punch? Or is it just in those old docs? Or maybe it's out of spite?
Because it's definitely not a coincidence.
