Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

I'd like increased range in radar so that I can avoid these grenades..they feel quite powerful in the smaller maps.
But yes I know the connundrum here that if the enemy is aware of my position from far away then they might use grenades even more accurately.
Yess yess it's working, first you lower the radar range, then you remove it completely. Good job 343.

- It begins.
 
my fiancée made me a big bowl of mac and cheese with jalapeno and bacon for my halo day. just wanted to tell everyone how awesome she is :D
 
I played the first two missions, several rounds of slayer, warzone, and breakout.

I'm loving everything about this game! The only problem is that several games of breakout had someone leave after the game started. With breakout, if it's 3v4 the team with 3 is pretty much guaranteed to get the loss. I'm not sure if there are any penalties for leaving after the game starts. If there aren't, or if there are, I would suggest something pretty harsh.

if you leave games early the game even warns you that you will get a temporal bann

There are; repeated quitting will result in deranking and eventually net you timed bans.
 
All up my campaign took my 5hrs 20mins on normal. I was getting ahead of myself towards the end and actually died...like 10 times lol. The last 3 missions are quite long but overall game was great.

Pretty much a setup for Halo 6 really. The ending felt very Halo 2.
 
Only had time to play the first campaign mission before work this morning, and I really enjoyed it. Can't wait to get back after work and play more.

Definitely a few small things I noticed that are different from the beta (not sure if these changes extend to mp):
*Can now ground pound from a standard jump (in the beta, a jump from the ground was not high enough to initiate ground pound)
*Sprint is definitely slowed down (though this was known)
*Ground pound moved from crouch button to melee

I do find the Helmet HUD a bit intrusive, but otherwise I love what I'm playing. I completely forgot about dynamic resolution until after I played, so to me, the implementation is good enough that I likely won't notice. The story has it's hooks in me, and I can't wait to see what happens, especially after just having finished Hunt the Truth season 2.

#WeBack!
 
I got a rare emblem first req pack I opened. (:


Played till Mission 5 in campaign and then Warzone and Arena matches. Really enjoying it.
 
So, my pre-loaded Halo 5 is stuck on "Queuing" and refuses to launch. This is frustrating. After getting the digital only bullshit shoved down my fucking throat by the Limited Collector's Edition, I just uninstalled and and am in the process of re-downloading an over 50 gb title. Hopefully that fixes this nonsense.
 
Oh man, this game is so good. I am finding meridian to be a bit of a slog stretched out over a few levels. Promethean are still not very fun to fight sadly.
 
fucking warden first fight that really is harsh. just can't get around him..everything else so far was easy -_-

Edit: got him
 
woke up early for some halo MP. getting my ass handed to me like it's nothing. been playing other MP games and not used to the TTK in halo 5. I think i'm getting a little bit better but really enjoying it so far. wow it's smooth.
 
Can't wait for my Elite controller. I'm using the default controller scheme but it feels like there is one important button too many. Everything is great except for having the boost on B. I'll map that to a paddle when the new controller is in.
 
Ehh....just woke up and was going to try and play a little bit before going to work. The game crashes every time I try to launch it from the dashboard.

Guess it's time to uninstall and redownload. Super annoying and kind of destroys the purpose of a preload.
 
So Im being forced to re-download the entire fucking game this morning. So much for preloads right?

Anyone know at what % I can start playing? I have a sneaking suspician I wasted yet another day off for a Halo launch.
 
LUCKY also I shouldn't have responded to the TV Ads lied thread.

Also, also, don't let the negativity going around get you down. There's a lot of crazy passionate people reacting to things atm. Sure some of it is valid, but also lots of overreaction.

IMO you guys have made an awesome game and ya'll should be proud. Seems like the launch went off without a high so congrats!

Someone remind me to watch highlights from Halo Live. I was too busy playing the game to watch :3
 
I bought a gold req pack last night and now I feel dirty...I told myself I wouldn't but I couldn't help it. lol

Also, I love the Urban Warthogs with the extra Armor and I was really impressed with how the warthog sounds idling... very nice!
 
MP announcer's "from the grave" is so satisfying.

The perfect medal announcement is super satisfying too. I need to get it more often.

Not sure if I'm gonna play well today being kinda tired. I started doing terrible yesterday when I was getting sleepy. We shall see I guess.
 
I have an issue not directly with the game but it is linked to it. Could it be that the game is so new that it can't be tied to the dashboard home screen? When I try to launch it from there nothing happens, but doing it from My Games & Apps and it works just fine.

What's this?

The perfect medal is the best, got it even with the carbine several times yesterday/last night

It really is.


Plasma Caster is my favorite new weapon since the Spartan Laser. Hydra is pretty cool as well, I already have an idea for a custom infection gametype set around it. Humans are on a small circular platform with only Hydras with unlimited ammo. Zombies spawn on a ring far above the platform and ground pound down to kill humans. Missile Command.
 
I'm considering going to Walmart and buying it so I can start playing. Then I will return my Amazon preorder copy back to Walmart tonight or tomorrow. Shipment is still in Nashville, about 190 miles from my house! Ugh
 
Played awful, got into diamond team slayer (or w/e the objective one is) and gold slayer.

Just happy to not be in bronze and thank god it isn't on KDA
 
Is this game also fun for someone who isnt a diehard Halo fun but likes FPS?

Yes. The Warzone mode has never been more accessible with deeper layers of game play than what you get in the competitive Arena mode. If you don't like Halo, but are a fan of Destiny, TitanFall, you'll like Warzone. It gives you a metric shit ton of guns, vehicles, other things like armor mods, assassinations to get etc. You could even spend your time trying to kill the enemy AI to accrue points for your team if you don't want to engage the other Spartans.

The campaign plays well, but you'd probably be confused if you're not a fan of the series about who these characters are, or what this all means.

Otherwise, beyond Warzone you also have equal starts and fair Arena competitive, the new Breakout mode which is single life with a fast ttk, modes like SWAT etc.

I did the same, before I even played the game! I love this shit (but my wallet rages).

I'd love to know how many packs sell in the first 24 hours. Stinkles' comment about throwing a nickel at Scrooge leads me to believe it's a shit ton so far!

You may as well throw a tin nickel at Scrooge McDuck.

Give us some numbers please Stinkles!
 
I hate to tell you this but your wife is trying to collect her life insurance premiums.

shit that's around 100k >>

It's a pretty shitty thing to do but I was going to do the same if my copy didn't turn up :3

But I'm a bad person.
