Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

Well, may not get it today. Package arrived at my college. It they got only one person working at the package office and today they got swamped with packages. :(
 
So just to clarify, digital owners that preloaded still need to get the patch right?

A buddy who preloaded didn't have to download anything and was playing at midnight. So I am not sure what to expect when I get home after work haha.

If you have Instant-On enabled on your Xbone it shoulda downloaded the patch for you a few days before the game came out and your game file size would have been 54.6 gigs i believe. Thus enabling you to play as soon as the time gate was lifted.

Yes, If you preloaded the game the MP patch was made available about a week later, I think it was 9GB. I was playing at 12:02 last night.

Hmm I turned it off over the weekend to try to fix the achievement bug I have been dealing with (achievements don't pop up on screen).

I was playing a lot of Forza last night and noticed the system acting like it was downloading something (stuttering sometimes, seen that before when downloading and still playing)

Guess I will see when I get home.

Oh cool, I didn't preload till Friday. Maybe I am good to go.
 
So it doesn't matter too much atm because I'm going to watch Sony's Paris Games Week Con anyway but...

Been trying to get a co op game with my friend going for the last...hour and a half, say. I played Halo 5 for about 20 minutes this morning btw so...it definetley works for me. Anyhoo.

In co-op I get "Error retrieving data center connection quality information. Please try again later". My NAT is Open for XBL, it has port forwarding and all the bells and whistles and my Xbox is on a wired connection...and I have no problem with any other game or app on PC/PS4/Phone etc. Just Halo 5.

When I try to join my friend, rather than host, we get the same error. I have done hard resets on the router and Xbox twice each and no luck yet.

I just want to play a bit of co-op with my friend...

mh..started playing this morning, with a lot of breaks for studying and eating and I'm already in mission 10 from 15.

how long have I left? are the next missions longer than those before?
 
The GT guys were debating whether or not Halo 5 would top Overwatch in Twitch viewing figures. Currently the viewing figures for Overwatch are higher than Halo 5 has been all day, and the beta doesn't seem to have even opened yet...

Is that a big deal or just whatever?
 
Heroic seems even easier than Halo 4, but I'm trying to just rush through the campaign so I can put it on the back burner until my Legendary run.

I like that the Hunters
will swat away grenades, that was a "oh shit" moment for me.

Also, I like that
the Promethean Knights do not fuck around and are Hunter adjace
 
Not really feeling the multiplayer for some reason, i enjoyed the beta but now i just cant get into it, the aiming feels a bit floaty but that might just be me imagining things... Its a bit disheartening since Halo 5 was one of the reasons that i bought an Xbox one
 
Nice! I havent started yet. You search and find any skulls/intel/ side chatter?

Intel and side chatter are easy to find. Skulls we didn't really look for, didn't find any.


What's your verdict?

It's okay. Legendary was frustrating as fuck at certain repeating parts. In terms of pure gameplay, it's probably the best one yet, but even as someone who has followed Halo EU, the narrative was kind of meh. I mean, its a good story on paper, but the game never made me feel invested in the plots.

The aim magnetism is very much reduced from H4.
 
Has anyone played a lot of Arena solo and noticed if you get thrown into matches against parties? Still curious if the matchmaking tries to avoid this or not, but I haven't had a chance to play yet myself.

Well if the beta isn't open yet then it might make sense that more people would be watching rather than playing, where the opposite would be true for Halo. But Twitch numbers largely mean nothing.

Last night at 9:30 PM I was playing AC Syndicate and went "Oh shit it's after 9, I can play Halo 5 now!" The game started right up, patch was already downloaded.
 
I don't have an Xbox One but might buy one today for this game. I'm guessing The Halo 5 console bundle is probably my best bet if I wanted to go into a store and pick it up?

Depends on largely what's important to you. The price is $500 due to being bundled with the LE and being a LE console along with a 1TB HDD. If that's not important just grab any $350 bundle and the game.

If you can hold out for a month, Dell supposedly is going to have a CRAZY deal on X1 for Black Friday: http://www.business2community.com/s...-laptop-for-1199-01362039#gYeLzCUhuiyd1HpJ.97

EDIT: I'd imagine other retailers won't have as a good of a bundle, but definitely comparable deals in the $300 to $350 range.
 
Most of the largest twitch streamers are PC gamers. Overwatch will no doubt over shadow halo 5s twitch numbers.

In any case, it's irrelevant.

I just want to see if halo 5 can retain these numbers, that's what's most important.
 
Haven't been to ebgames in forever, while waiting in line they tried to sell me a $40 gamer guide for Halo.

Looking at my receipt I was charged for the game warranty... Then replaying the conversation the cashier said he was adding it (not asking) and as I was not really paying attention I had agreed to it.

Decided to let it stand as a reminder to myself to always pray attention lol

That's a good point that I didn't really consider. I'd probably be better off with any bundle that comes with XBL cards or something. The controller is just the standard one with a fancy paint job right?
 
First match ever and it's already 4v2, I'm posting this because I can't find them since they're hiding.

Never change, Halo community.

[edit]

4v1
 
So no issues? Does the game work flawlessly?
Most of the complaints I've seen are issues related to the NXE beta and an install issue here or there. Aside from that flawless.

This is probably the best bundle in stores atm
