Thanks. Was worried it was almost over, but looks like I'm about half way.
And BTW - How did I ever live without clambering? That one move alone just makes the maps feel more like tactical playgrounds, but when married to the thrust pack holy shit.
My friend said this when I told him they are in Mission Select:
And when I told him about the Intel Nodes to get in them, he said:
Just finished the game on normal took me 5 hours and 14 seconds. I bought the Xbox One specifically for this game, another wise i'd probably waited another year to get an xbox. Will run through on legendary with people / friends soon and get the skulls and intel.
Just some random points.
- Game is very smooth.
- Cut scenes are very well done.
- Audio and OST are top. Such a good blend of Martys sounds and fresh ones. Some of my favourite tracks since Halo CE. I love just sitting on the main menu listening to the music.
- Art direction is great
- I love the scale of characters, humans look tiny next to Spartans, that look tiny next to Elites - never felt this much with other Halo games.
-
-
- Level design is good, they all felt big and vertical and that I had loads of choice to tackle the area. Should be awesome in coop.
-
-
- Buck is cool, Arbiter is BOSS, and I really don't mind Locke at all. He gets too much hate.
- The story
- 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. If this game is really pushing the xbox one then oyy.
- Played a little MP, Warzone, slayer, SWAT and I feel right at home. As someone who grew up playing Halo and not played since getting a PS4 two years this instantly hit the spot for me. I am going to get addicted to req cards I can tell!
- 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.

The missions on Sanghelios were awesome. LOVED the art design, the huge statues of Elites etc. Also the little "hub" world where you speak to Arby, Halsey etc. I wish future Halo games have proper little hub areas like this.

Only three missions as Chief is a little bit of a letdown

Running down guardian was cool AF
-
Like 2-3 of the missions are literally speak to a couple of people then they end?
- Buck is cool, Arbiter is BOSS, and I really don't mind Locke at all. He gets too much hate.
- The story
...not sure how I feel yet. The Halo 2 esque cliff hanger ending doesn't bother me much. Can't wait to see whats next with Halo 6. But the story just being Cortana going rouge was a little ehh. I think it was hyped up soo much .. HUNT THE TRUTH etcetc. Its funny how the Hunt the Truth series was so gripping and this was pretty standard.

What difficulty are you playing at? I must be taking things really slow, I am on Heroic and about to Start Level 7 and I am close to 6 hours (5h, 40 min). Hale CE on Heroic took me about 13-14 hours or so. Heroic due to the squad mechanic is a bit easier on heroic due to it. Looking at my logs and how many times I died, I am dying a lot less by a large margin compared to the other games.
I think they should of considered increasing each difficulty setting slightly. Right now Heroic is just a tad too lenient but Legendary is ball busting for me personally. Something in between would of been nice because if you have your squad near, revives are pretty quick.
I highly doubt that woulda' happened at launch. It'd be great to see it more integrated when Halo 6 or the next great hotness comes out just to have all the old Halos more integrated, but that'd be a big addition of work and if they aren't going to address the issues that will come from that I'd rather they didn't.
I am filled with nostalgia.

This is normal for Halo. In some of the older games, an intro video is considered a mission. So nothing new on that. But I get what you mean. When I read 15 missions, in my head I am thinking "cool, 15 "playable" missions.
Yea, PM me if your Gamertag if you're interested.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if the year before 6 comes out, we get a new version of MCC with Reach and a GOTY edition of 5 added in.
The smoothest online FPS launch I have seen during my lifetime.
I hope I did not jinx this.

Anyone got a fireteam going? I'm playing arena and doing well but I'm struggling to get any wins.

I've completed 8 of the 15 missions and played one match of multiplayer. Been doing lots of exploring but so far only found 2 skulls and about 20 or so intel items. Loving the verticality and so far I have no complaints about the supposed "lack of size" in the levels. I'm really enjoying it, except for the boss fights. I plan to finish it up tonight.
In my one match it felt like a 4 v 4 LAN party.

Solo Heroic.
But I've kept exploration to a minimum outside of scavenging for weapons/ammo and getting my bearings in these larger environments. I know I'll be replaying this as soon as its finished (a good sign) so I'm trying to let the pace of the story push me forward this time, and when I replay it I'll explore more and take in the scenery.
Its weird, the game is both harder and easier than previous Halos. Harder in that even grunts can take you down quickly, and a lot more will kill you that you had no idea about - a pro/con of the scenario design tuned for 4 players. So in the sense of taking a lot of fire from several directions and getting randomly killed by off-screen enemies its harder, but if you approach each battle as a squad it can be a lot easier than previous Halos. Ordering your squad to take specific positions, to equip certain power weapons or to man a turret, etc.
One truly Halo moment is when I had acquired two warthogs, and for the life of me just couldn't figure out how to coerce my squad into manning both of them properly, with a driver and gunner on each. The best I could do was have three squadmates in my warthog and just a driver in the other one.

Good going. I only found 4 logs in Mission 1, no skulls. Found nothing in Mission 2. I am taking it slow, but should of looked around a bit more. On your stats screen, what is it saying for game time for Mission 1 & Mission 2?

Love, love, loving this game so far (and haven't even touched campaign yet). And to think I got it for less than $20! $15 GameStop gift card + traded in Handsome Jack collection for $18 with an extra $10 trade in promo = $19-something.

I've only found the first one in Mission 1 and only 3 of them in Mission 2. And I feel like I've explored just about everywhere too. I guess I'll just YouTube for them later.
We've gotta get some colors in these maps. Nature. Sand. Grass. Trees. Snow. Water. These maps need some livening up pretty badly from what I've seen. Just think about some of these maps:
Anchor 9
Zealot
Longshore
Ghost Town
Tempest
Highlands
Powerhouse
Boneyard
Reflection
The Pit
High Ground
Valhalla
Avalanche
Lockout
Guardian
Midship
Breakpoint
Zanzibar
Coagulation
Battle Creek
I'm seeing so much human/forerunner style in these H5 maps. They may play well (haven't actually played any Arena yet), but watching streams and it seems like I'm watching the same map over and over again. Watched a stream of Coliseum, Coliseum, Fathom, Plaza, Coliseum, Plaza (or something like that)... we need some color!

Ugh the game just arrived from UPS when they usually don't come until late at night and I haven't updated the console yet.... ;_;

If you are at all interested in the Elite Controller, the Elite Bundle is a good deal. For $499.99 you get the Elite Controller and the Console that has a 1TB SSHD. Currently, 1TB standard HDD systems go for $399.99 and the Elite Controller sells for $149.99. So it is $50.00 less buying the bundle.

Yes. Most of the maps look very samey. Dull, metallic, bland colors.
There are a few that aren't that way, but I want more color too.

Played with a big group of friends in Warzone today, all of us scattered across the US and EU. Played all morning and not a single multiplayer issue at all. It was glorious.

He hinted that it wasn't completely inconceivable, nothing more. And I believe that was before 343i realized just how problematic MCC would be in the long run.
So are the AR cards (its a common) reusable? Its nothing special but it supposedly has some sights and an energy bayonet on it. Just wondering if its a one time use thing. It doesn't show up in power weapons but rather under AR so im assuming its mine to keep? No clue how to tell what's single use.

reposting from earlier but...
has anyone had problems in co op, with some data centre quality connection error? my xbl works fine, gold is still active etc and everything works as it should...until it comes to trying to get into co op or warzone etc.
edit: my nat is open and both xbox and router had been hard reset twice.

Are you using NXOE? If so, are you having MTU issues?
I can't tell cause my game is still downloading. But could be that...
When you scan with Fireteam Osiris if your controller vibrate, there's an intel nearby. Easily spotted with a kind of dome around it to pin point it.
The skull on mission 2 was VERY well hidden I'm shocked I found it.
Those are loadout-basedyou can keep them but you have to get a REQ level to summon them in.

Ugghhh, UPS has delayed my Limited edition from Amazon. May not arrive until tomorrow.
Packages from Amazon via UPS usually arrive around 2:30 to 3:00 in the afternoon, so I went into work a few hours early so I could play as soon as it arrived. This sucks.
