OMG I have to pack all my shit for a move on Friday, but all I want to do is play Halo 5. What a shit time to move.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

I'm not sure if they're adding anyone else to the dashboard, but try to go to your preview app and "opt in" for the new dashboard. It comes out for everyone on the 12th, so like I said, I'm not sure if they're adding anyone else in so close to the official release.

Ok thanks... ill have to figure that out when i get home from work. H5 should be downloading at home and finished when i get back! (fingers crossed)

A bumper jumper/fish sticks combo scheme would be perfect for those of us not using scuffs/elite controllers.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Opt not to install the patch. Play campaign. Then patch overnight.

Just pause the download then? Will try that. Thanks

Is it the 3 wardens that you have to fight? There are incineration cannons around the area, I think at least 3 or 4 of them. They should help in case you haven't seen them.

That's the one. The team is useless in this battle. Found the cannons, but they don't seem to be as deadly as I'd thought they would be.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Soooo, how is the MP servers holding up? Are people having trouble getting into matches? I didn't get the time to play last night and won't till later tonight.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

I can't speak about the campaign but lordy the multiplayer is amazingly good. Everything is soooo polished.

 

[Niven]

Please someone come carry me! I'm getting destroyed

 

[Ferny]

Soooo, how is the MP servers holding up? Are people having trouble getting into matches? I didn't get the time to play last night and won't till later tonight.

Zero issue. Honestly, each match took maybe 3-5 seconds to find everyone and load up. It was pretty fast.

Put almost 5 hours into multi last night following the US launch.

Perfection all around.

 

[Mine01]

Loved the game, played 6 matches or so yesterday night... played on the rig, coliseum, truth, eden, empire and fathom, loveeee the game, really the 60 fps feel like a dream after playing something like bf4 where the fps is crazy the whole time.

Cant wait to play more tonight after work!

It has been perfect for me. I was really nervous about it after what happened with MCC but so far so good!

A dead marine in warzone didn't want to fall over.

 

[akidnamededdy]

I have little shame as far as quitting out of Arena matches.

I see no reason to waste my time on account of 343's inability to program an acceptable matchmaking algorithm.

You can generally tell by the 20 kill mark that their attempts at putting together a competitive match has failed. Again.

The game's been out for like half a day you shitlord.

>talks about algorithm
>doesn't know how algorithms work

Dude, the game just launched and people need to be placed in their brackets.

 

[Impulsor]

Guys, is there a Language selection option in the game? Or do I have to go to the system settings to change my consoles region/language?

I'd like to play this in English

 

[Cheesy Steve]

Can't touch the campaign yet because of classes, but warzone is so much fun. A great addition to multiplayer.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Just arrived from class, turned the console on, and what the fuck is that shit!!!

For Christ sake!! There's no chance I will be able to play it today! God... I should have bought the physical version, fuck this!!!

 

[Poodlestrike]

Just arrived from class, turned the console on, and what the fuck is that shit!!!

Try a hard reset. If that doesn't work... good luck and god speed.

Thankfully 343 has put in measures to deal with people like you.

Went 9-1 in Slayer and got Diamond 1, feels bad man.

 

[victreeb3l]

Spartan charges are so much fun. Love the thrusters as well for quick escapes and boosting past enemies. Traversal in general is extremely fun and satisfying, half the reason why Im loving Halo 5 so much.

 

[OsirisBlack]

Just arrived from class, turned the console on, and what the fuck is that shit!!!

That's odd unless this has happened since ive been at work I had a 9 gig download last night.

Question time. I am enjoying the campaign a lot so far on heroic but I do have a question. Is something wrong with my XB1? the install time on this game was almost an hour and a half.

 

[NoLongerALurker]

Finished up my solo heroic run. Really enjoyed the campaign. Need to play through it on legendary now to get that legendary ending. Well done Frankie and everybody at 343. Halo 6 is going to be nuts.

 

[Vire]

Realistically how long do you think it's going to take for me to download and install the whole thing when I get home?

Should I just go physical?

 

[VinFTW]

Work, please go faster.

 

[matthieuC]

Should I just go physical?

That's what I'm doing

9 gigs vs 50

 

[Ricker]

I'm sure it is an amazing game but if I've only got a 4 hour window to play the game today and it takes that long to install it, what's the point in buying it today?! Haha

I miss the days when you could just rush home with the game disc, stick it in your console and play it.

I am tempted to impulse buy it but when the install times are so long on Xbox it really kills those urges since I won't actually be able to play the game on the day that I buy it

Maybe I'll look into buying it next time I have longer than 4 hours free.

Yep,thats why renting games suck now,on top of taking as much place as the digital one...oh well.

Sorry for the OffT,carry on guys

It's 55 Gigs so you may just want to go physical.

 

[hannuraina]

been on this fight for an hour. seems impossible.

 

[Gascoigne]

All the sacrifice made to get this to a solid 60fps at all times were the right thing to do. This is do damn good. It's made it incredibly difficult to go back to 30fps shooters or shooters that don't maintain a solid fps at all times. And on top of that, the elite controller has ruined all other controllers for me now. It's far and away the best console controller I've ever used.

 

[Akai__]

Completetly depends on your connection and the servers. 100mbit/s down here and it took 2 1/2 hours. I heard install times are also pretty long, but not sure how long.

 

[FeD.nL]

I had a pretty smooth ride to 89% now it's crawling at a snail's pace ..

 

[The Antitype]

Thankfully 343 has put in measures to deal with people like you.

Went 9-1 in Slayer and got Diamond 1, feels bad man.

Sure sure.

Hasn't happened yet.

Crashing for the night now though, so I guess we'll see if the record of quit matches carries over or if it refreshes after a certain period.

Given how desperate 343i must be to retain players after bleeding them out in both Halo 4 and MCC, I'm guessing it will be as lenient as possible.

Overall though, game's pretty fun. Surprisingly good Warzone mode balances out the profoundly disappointing Arena mode (as it stands now, anyway), and the campaign story is **** but I haven't played a Halo game for its story since 2001.

 

[link1201]

I so should have taken today off, bad planning on my part.

 

[Giriath_89]

Doing co-op campaign and I'm not hearing the dialogue audio. Help?

 

[pieface]

Am i the only one who feels theres not enough Warzone maps?

 

[Vire]

Hmm that's reasonable enough... I got 100mbit down on my desktop wired connection, but I dunno how it works with an Xbox One yet considering the PS4 for whatever reason is idiotic and only gets 40 down when I run a speed test on it.

I can wait 3 hours though.

Thanks.

If there is one thing I really hate about the xbox one it's the preorder digital management, it's half broken and random.

That's what the fuck I'm talking about, can't wait to be off all next week. Gonna go balls deep. Thanks for the replies.

Fixed. This is how I feel. Hope they cook up some more Arena maps asap.

You are actively ruining the algorithm... How can they possibly figure out how good your are in relation to everyone else, if you don't finished your matches?

How can it know where to place you without data?

 

[internetwolf]

If anyone wants to play legendary campaign later tonight hmu

 

[Gaz_RB]

Am i the only one who feels theres not enough Warzone maps?

I agree with you. Especially because as far as I can tell the AI placement isn't randomized. I'm kinda disappointed with the AI integration, seems more tacked on than an actual part of the game mode. I wish they wandered around more or played an active part in the back and forth of the two teams.


Warzone is still fun as hell though. And at least later maps will be free

 

[backflip10019]

Post more clips! It's all I have while at work!

 

[thenexus6]

Carbine is GOAT

Lol at mission 8

Spoiler

I spoke to three people then it ended

 

[Trup1aya]

Is your console on standby mode? You could just initiate the download remotely... Depending on your DL speed, it would be ready when you get home...

 

[nOoblet16]

Well I ended up quitting a game. It was 4v4 and then 3 people from the opposite team ended up quitting and the game became 4v1 and only half finished with 5 minutes remaining.

I can't bring myself to slog through these kind of games because my team had only 1 guy to kill who would hide, then die after a while and then repeat again.

 

[Inferno313]

I'm going to start my campaign run around 6:30 PM EST tonight. If anyone wants to play with me around then, PM me or add me on Xbox Live. I was planning on doing solo Heroic for my first playthrough, but I could do legendary for the first run if we can get a full group of four together.

I haven't bought an Xbox One yet lol.

Getting the MCC bundle on way home from work. So that's a negative.
