Couple of things

I wish you could completely change the controls to your liking. I wish I could trade LB - thruster for X - sprint among a few other things.

Also the ordering your squad around is weird. Press UP to give them directions press UP on enemy to target, hold UP to stick to your position. The amount of times i've tried to mark a target and its just sent them off to stand somewhere..

I like how when I get into a warthog they are smart enough to have one hop on the gun but the other two get their own gun goose. Instead of one being useless in the passengers seat.

You'll be able to with the NXE. Sorta.
 
I played multiplayer for a while (which is fun) and there's something inelegant about the art compared to Reach or even prior Halo's. It's like they have a poor sense of selective color palettes and fail to show restraint, yet confine themselves to realistic colors so it results in a dim average landscape when objects and buildings are in play and colors seemingly used without less thought than most Halo and adult sci-fi. It's a bit blander than the Reach era at least in terms of color, tone, and atmosphere. A little more generic online shooter. Reminds me of stuff like that game Sector 8 or other free-to-play sci-fi FPS games.

So how do you use the vehicle and gun war zone cards you get a ton of? When you go pick guns or vehicles does it give you an option to use a card you got?
Click to expand...

Yeah, when you get to the level of the card, you can call it in. So everytime you die choose then, or at a base you've taken, go to the REQ station and pick a card. Once I get level 3 REQ's I ditch the AR for the BR etc. Once level 5 or above, I know I can call in a vehicle if I want.
 
So let us see which ranks I'm getting in the other playlists.

Now doing SWAT, afterwards Breakout.

If Team Slayer with Randoms net me Platin, I think I can get even higher with a team in Team Arena
 
Woke up early to play a little before work. Microsoft decides to push the new Xbox experience update to my living room Xbox one this morning. Fuck my life. Why can't this thing update while I'm sleeping? Seriously I need my Halos.
 
To the people who have finished the campaign, how does it compare to the rest of the series? Are there any levels that compare to The Covenant, The Ark, and The Silent Cartographer?

And it's great to hear that the servers are going strong so far. Will probably pick this up later today.
 
Bosses in warzone are a good idea, killing them can really change the tide of battle in points to win, They just need to move around the map more then stand there sponging hits.

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.

This got me... if they're all kidnapped at 6, and raised together, why do they have different accents?

Yeah, but everyone unlocks the weapons as the team gains levels right? So what do the cards do?

This. Can you imagine if the Warden or the Strategos could traverse the map? Imagine how hectic it would be if a legendary boss became like the Terminator and started to assault captured bases etc. Would add another layer of 'oh shit' to the game. As it stands, some of them are just there, waiting etc. I get why they don't necessarily move around, but it's something to look into.
 
Hey guys, last night after completing 1/3 of the campaign (with no issues) my friends and I hopped into Warzone Assault. With our party of four the first two games went without a hitch, but then we switched to regular Warzone and the game loaded 25 players in the lobby and kicked my brother out of the game leaving him in outspread fireteam at the main menu attempting to join our game in progress (to no avail). Kind of deflated we lost one of our four, picked up another member of our Spartan Company and decided to try our hand at some good ol' slayer. This time, I never saw a loading screen, was dumped to the main menu and the lobby showed 9 players found for the match. For the remainder of their session I stay in the menu, still in the fireteam, with the message at the top of the screen that I was attempting to join a session in progress. I decided to go to bed at that point.

I know for a fact this isn't exclusively an issue that my brother and I are having because while watching EG.Snip3down play on twitch over the past couple of days I saw this same exact thing happen to a party member of his in a match made Arena game, where it (likely) caused his team to lose because their team picked up a random in place of their fourth fireteam member and it had also happened in Warezone to him as well. I don't see anything about this anywhere after a Google search and browsing through the Waypoint forums and it is disheartening to think it may not be getting openly complained about enough so it might not get the recognition it needs from 343i to get fixed.

Like I said, I'm not the only one seeing this happen, so why aren't people talking about it?
 
What the actual fuck xbox. My game was stuck at 52% before I went to sleep and now six hours later it's at 54%. Dude I just wanna play my game.
 
Is there a way to REQ sticky grenades in Warzone? Cause I sure as hell can't find them and they'd be pretty handy for when the other team starts spawning in vehicles.

Not unless you have the cards. I mean the level just means you can equip stronger cards, but you cannot equip what you don't have. And so the cards work like consumables. You don't have infinite Wraiths, you may only have 4 Spartan Laser cards, meaning once they run out, you won't have anymore to use.

I think only the primary weapons don't run out, especially as you find more. So that by the time you're level 3/4/5 REQ out come the specialized BR and DMR etc. But things like Sniper, SAW, railgun are single use.
 
I really hate the helmet in campaign. It takes up too much space and is very annoying. Also, the art direction looks plastic, but I only played the first mission. Have to try everything before making a final conclusion.
 
My only 2 complaints are that
1. Melee is still way too strong and has a too large range
2.the maps are not really well suited for their grenades
 
The aim acceleration is difficult to deal with - moving the cursor doesn't feel smooth and that wasn't a problem a few weeks ago with close to gold builds

Really strange how different the game feels from just a few weeks ago
 
Just played some Warzone. When people start using vehicles, its gets very one sided :<. Also what the fuck the MP Graphics look awful.
 
Just beat mission five.

- Game is very smooth
- Cut scenes are very well done
- Audio and OST are top
- Art direction is good

- The graphics.. I totally see where they cut corners to get that 60 FPS. Some textures are janky and completely flat. It's not too bad in motion but if you stop during some of the slower moments they stand out.

I think there's no way to get them apart from getting them from ai enemies. I haven't played the game yet, though. I find kinda of funny that you can req powerups and a lot of other stuff but no grenades.

I'm sure they will added in the future, or probably there's a very good reason why they weren't added in the first place.
 
Holy shit am I bad at SWAT in this game. I get spawnkilled on most of the forge maps and Idk how people crossmap with the dang pistol

Why are you playing SWAT bro?
I didn't have a chance to play the MP beta so last night is my first taste of it and you know what I am actually liking how much faster moving it is.
Quick question. Do you guys feel like stick sensitivity is a little slow? It feels like it takes forever for me to turn.
 
Absolutely despising the spartan charge. That thing must be nerfed. Plus doesn't the assualt rifle feel a bit stronger than the beta?

I want to have a rank in all lists so I decided to play it. Bad decision :(

It's only a OHK if it's from behind. Otherwise the person is really putting themselves in a horrible position, unless they catch you off guard, and in that case, GG to them.
