My copy arrived today, install process wasn't too painful.

Only had time for quick game of Team Slayer. My god the pistol is an absolute monster. Liked what I've played so far, and it's all fresh as I never played the beta. Can't wait to try campaign and warzone when I get the chance later on.

 

[IHaveIce]

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

Arena is the one with Objectives.. I still need to play that for a rank, you diamonds better give me tips.

Got platin in slayer and Onyx in SWAT:

Arena, Free for All and Breakout pending. Breakout will be a terrible rank for me.. calling it..

 

[Chorazin]

Remembered I had $5 just sitting in my MS account, bought a Gold and a Silver pack. Got a sweet helmet that looks great with the Nightfall armor!

Just gotta make it through work today and then I can play once the patch is downloaded. It feels so far away!

 

[E92 M3]

How come I can't have my call sign be 3 letters?

 

[Madness]

I'm gonna pass out now, wake up and get my physical copy and most likely an elite controller or the Chief controller. And then it's Arena time. Don't even care anymore. Bring on the bronze tiers in all the Playlists. I mean SpeedyBlueDude of all people is getting champion ranks in FFA.

 

[Ramirez]

First game of Slayer and two people on my team quit within 30 seconds, these penalties cannot be fast and harsh enough. I proceed to get 29 kills and we lose by 2 because my last remaining teammate goes AFK twice in the match, smh.

 

[Random17]

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.

Lore fans are similarly confused, because we don't have the benefit of supporting EU material this time. The EU material only provided hints and a few minor links.

I liked the Guardians as a concept, but the Warden Eternal is even more confusing than the Didact. I didn't fully appreciate him until Silentium, 5 months after release.

The campaign story has moments of quality, but it simply wasn't
deep or satisfying enough.

 

[Branniganz Love]

Wow! The team at 343 should be very proud. I've only been able to play the first two missions but so far it is exactly what I was hoping for. Still getting used to the movement but I absolutely love all of the options that are at the players disposal. Next gen Halo is here, ya'll!

I was puzzled/annoyed by this.

2.3 kd average, and yet I have lost every game.

Any GAF teams playing ANY Arena mode?

I tried Arena once and got destroyed. I'll be staying well away until I can go in with a team and a new mic (mine just broke!). It was a bloodbath.

[Chalupa Batman]

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.

This isn't shitty, there is no loss/fraud going on here. It's returning without a receipt that's shitty/fraudy.

 

[Welfare]

Change of plans. I have to pick this up on Friday

The wait will be long and hard.

Halo.jpeg reminds me of the good old days haha.

Yeah, I always have a specific call sign and 4 letters throws everything off haha.

I wish we had a no parties playlist; exactly what I was worried about.

Same, I finished the first 2 missions and had to pass out so i wasn't too tired for work today. so far its great, i haven't found anything i dislike yet. I definitely took advantage of taking the high ground on every mission so far.

That part was nuts, huge smile on my face when that happened.

 

[op_ivy]

Nitpick: The smart scope zoom, its not as fast as it should be. i click the stick and a few too many split seconds later, im zoomed. It almost feels like input lag. Don't like that. Don't recall it functioning like this in the beta a year ago, but could be wrong.

I'm no longer good at Halo.

Couple games into the H5 MP experience, and I'm just watching fucking punks on hoverboards.

Metamucil DLC please.

Is this game also fun for someone who isnt a diehard Halo fun but likes FPS?

yeah the gunplay this time is amazing. best its ever been i think and all the new additions fit in perfectly

 

[Gaz_RB]

Some people are so damn good at this game. My FFA qualifiers were brutal, barely stayed above 4th place.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Finished Campaign... reallly not a fan of that ending.

 

[sKiTz]

Just finished up the campaign on Heroic doing co-op, we had a blast, not the best campaign of the series but I found it solid and engaging enough. Really looking forward to what Halo 6 has in store for us.

Pretty rusty on the MP side of things but games have been lag free and very quick with the matchmaking.

Warzone very well could be the best online mode I've played in years, it runs lovely and I'm having a lot of fun with some mates.

Good work 343, I'm satisfied.

[gweemz]

Are there any disadvantages to the Halo 4 controller layout? I see most people talking about default or recon, and want to know what I'm mising by using the halo 4 layout.

I play fishstick. Cod/Titanfall controls. I do the same thing in Destiny too.

But honestly I don't see the point in Halo 4 controls, just use default. Recon is not all that good imo.

 

[GravyButt]

Never really got into halo mp but about to now. Any tips?

Also can anyone explain what arena or slayer and warzone are really briefly and easily to understand terms? Thanks!

 

[E92 M3]

What's with the campaign spoilers? Not hard to spoiler tag campaign discussions like the ending of all things.

I'm using that layout as well, don't have any issues with it aside from sprint on the left thumb stick.

yeah it is ive got nothing against the direction its heading i actually dig it, but they left us hanging at the end exactly how bungie back then lol

i really hope they give the campaign a bigger focus next time. and give us more chief missions ffs

wouldnt consider this spoiling but okay

I play it like I play halo 1-3.

How would it be fraud? They are getting a brand new sealed copy of Halo 5 returned to them?

Arena is normal 4v4. Like 5 ranked playlists.

Warzone is BTB 12v12 Titanfall.

 

[E92 M3]

I fucking hate it when people post impressions of the ending, even if they never go into detail, because it sets a certaine xpectation that may or may not be warranted.

Yeah, it's like when my friend says "You will never guess who dies!" That's spoiling.

Play some games tonight with me, Sanjuro. We can discuss how good Kevin Owens is while I carry us to victory.

 

[Torment]

Played about 15 match of arena yesterday and got Champion rank 4, love the balance and new abilities. Alot of little nuances to take advantage of, the skill gap is going to be way bigger in this game than most previous Halos fyi.

 

[Tashi]

Think I played in a game with you yesterday. Sorry if I made us lose!

Don't sweat it!

 

[NIN90]

I'm afraid I'll get ranked too high in Arena. I've won 7 out of 9 placement matches in Slayer so far but I get carried all the time.

 

[Super Macho Man]

Played some Team Slayer last night, the gameplay was smooth as silk, and I really enjoyed the gunplay as well. Game looks really nice too, so much so that my girlfriend looked up from the books she was reading to mention it. I just need to get good, because I'm rusty as hell, I always start out slow in MP.
