everyone has BR and i have the standard rifle in warzone 0_o

how do i get BR as standard?

Once you hit REQ rank 3 you can set it as standard at a REQ station. Assuming you unlocked the card.

 

[Strider]

Sometimes I wanna play competitively. Sometimes I wanna just play arena without worrying about rank...

Game really needs a casual playlist for team arena and slayer for those times.

 

[oSoLucky]

Traded in my digital CE code for a disc copy and they forgot to give me my code for all the DLC, sigh.

Same. Have you contacted support yet?

People in one of the other threads had me thinking that they wouldn't send a retail case so I guess that's a small surprise for me(haven't dealt much with MS CS).

BK alert

 

[MaGlock]

War zone is fun and casual but I agree with the other poster sucks all arena is ranked all day.

 

[Madness]

Silver II

Beta silver is now launch gold rank. Bronze is iron, silver is bronze, gold is silver, onyx is gold, diamond is onyx, and platinum is semi-pro, champion is pro. What do you think you'll get now Juices?

Apparently there's a snapchat filter for Halo 5 today lol

I'll need to decide soon if I want to stick with Recon controls or switch it up. Sprint being on X makes some stuff like the Charge and Slide a little awkward to do. I can do them, just maybe not as effectively as with some other control schemes.

Only response you'll need is right here.....FIshstick. I know it may be blasphemous, but that left trigger smart scope and left bumper boost thing is where it's at. Whenever I use the zoom on the stick I always end up pushing too hard and throwing off my shot. This is the best for me. If only bumper jumper would have the zoom mapped to the left stick I'd be in heaven. Oh well, this is the next best thing. Give it a shot. It'll feel weird at first but it's great.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Im really not happy with the Matchmaking in this game... most of my matches are against US people.. and US Dedis are pointless for a European... Not fun when my enemy is eating all of my shots...

Hope they patch Server Selection in...

 

[xRaizen]

I don't know how I'm in Onyx Division on SWAT. I don't even think I'm that good. Half my games I got under 1.0 the others I get like 1.2...

Yup. I wanted to do that before doing my first 10 to figure things out but nope. Just throws us right in.

 

[AHappyPanda]

So, is the KAD ratio K + A - D?

Or is it K + A/3 - D?

I have yet to play MP...but honestly, some of the ratios I've seen that they're letting into Onyx and Champion tiers seem....shit if it's the first formula I posted.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

How do you ground pound and what aim sensitivity is everyone playing at?

Hold down melee while you're in the air.

 

[GravyButt]

I thought you couldn't have active camo in arena or did I imagine that?!

Won't be long till someone tries to get cute and filters a trashcan or something.

You're a liar and a thief.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

So what control scheme is everyone using? I'm using Green Thumb until I get my elite controller. Working out pretty well.

 

[The Antitype]

Gotta love those 5-15-8* games LOL

DMR feels wonky to me. BR feels great, but for some reason finishing off that last kill shot with the DMR is proving difficult.

Can't figure out why....

Also, I haaaaated the Promethean shotty in Halo 4, but I LOVE it now.

[blamite]

I realy wish there was an option to disable just the trigger rumble. Standard controller rumble is fine, but I can't stand when my triggers start vibrating every time I reload or whatever. Even MCC had this option!

Also, is there no way to mute voice chat in multiplayer? I know 343 probably doesn't like that idea because eSports, but I'd really appreciate the option.

I thought you couldn't have active camo in arena or did I imagine that?!

Not from Req, but it's a pickup on some maps.

 

[EvB]

Or is it K + A/3 - D?

It was the second one in MCC

 

[16BitNova]

I thought you couldn't have active camo in arena or did I imagine that?!

As a pick up powerup on the map. Yes. As a req card activation. No.

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

In Slayer we only seem to get a few maps. Where are the ones from the beta? The one with the spaceship and great lighting. And where is Empire?

 

[JimiNutz]

No that is called "stopping power" where as you slow down and cant turn fast when being shot. Its awesome, because it stops people from simply running away from a fight.

Ah I see.
I was getting shot at from the side and when I was trying to turn and face the enemy it felt like I was stuck in mud.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

I honestly thought 343 would do better to address the lack of hit feedback from prometheans but it seems I was mistaken. Putting scattershot rounds into soldiers who don't even flinch is just not fun. When it feels as if my weapons have no real physical impact I stop having fun shooting those enemies. The Knights destructive elements are great but again, nothing reacts to the weight of rounds hitting them.

I think all the Prometheus have week spots, you get feedback if you hit those.

 

[wrongway]

What happened to the two new Sprint episodes? I thought they were supposed to be yesterday, but apparently not. :x

 

[PAULINK]

I'm still waiting for my copy in the mail D:

Is anyone trading pre-order bonuses here? I wanted to trade my best buy skin for a gamestop skin

 

[GravyButt]

As a pick up powerup on the map. Yes. As a req card activation. No.

Ahhh ook thanks. I was confused as to why I saw that. Thought I missed something major haha

 

[Collateral22]

Am I right in saying you can't matchmake with people from outside your region? Seen someone on Gaf say that.

Anyone confirm?

 

[RulkezX]

It's they're a way to make sure you get players from your own region? I keep getting paired with very.... let's say vocal Americans.

Im really not happy with the Matchmaking in this game... most of my matches are against US people.. and US Dedis are pointless for a European... Not fun when my enemy is eating all of my shots...

Hope they patch Server Selection in...

Ah so not just me then, I'm pretty sure I'm being dumped on US servers.

 

[AHappyPanda]

Anyone confirm?

Someone on GAF had a problem partying up with friends in the US and they were in Australia - the game wouldn't let them go into matchmaking or something because of the potential latency issue I think.

https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/launch-playlist-details

Empire is only in Team Arena for Slayer and Strongholds, Truth is only in Team Arena and Team Slayer.

 

[Megabyte117]

Finally finished the campaign on Heroic - about 7-8 hours? Regardless, as a fervent Halo fan, I loved it. It hit all the right notes with me, I enjoyed playing as Osiris even, and that ending scene...

Spoiler

Having read the books, it was about fucking time to have a scene with both Halsey and Chief. I can't believe I teared up at that shit.

Thank you 343, what a goddamn brilliant game. That goes without mentioning how refined the gameplay is, and how much the Prometheans have been improved as enemies. Damn. I just wanna jump back into the campaign now.

 

[Strider]

How do you juggle the flag in this game? Only way I could drop it was by throwing a nade in the first CTF match I played lol Just gave up on it after that first run

Same way you pick it up iirc

It will also reset you being spotted by juggling it.

 

[Strider]

Derp. Was so used to RT from MCC

 

[Adam Tyner]

Oh weird. I totally forgot that was even a thing. I picked mine up at 11:00 last night. Checked my email just now and it shows that I got the code at 12:12

Yeah, it took a little longer than usual, but I just got my code too.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

My cousin has the game installed, he told me that when he start the game it sends him to the marketplace! There it doenst ask him to buy, the button is showin an option to play, but when he press it sends him back to the page.

Anyone heard something like that? What could be happening?

 

[lLemonDemon]

Anyone else having problems with the servers? I can't get my settings/service record or join co-op campaign.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

I think all the Prometheus have week spots, you get feedback if you hit those.

When you're not though there is a severe la k of response from the enemy. I'm speaking in terms of physical reactions (flinching, knock backs etc). It feels off and reminds me of destiny when the no flinch modifier is on. It feels like you're shooting moving pieces of scenery, not enemies.

 

[Insane Dead]

Can't connect to the server right now :/ anyone else having this problem?

 

[Sec0nd]

I don't really get these things I'm unlocking with the REQ packs. Weapons? Is that a warzone thing?

 

[link1201]

Yes, you can use the boosts and skins for Arena though.

 

[PooBone]

I'm closing in on the end and HOLY SHIT am I surprised by

Spoiler

how few levels feature the Master Chief.

 

[Twilight Gap]

can't wait for Forge. customs have been a blast.

 

[Nowise10]

I am 100% confident that Arena is the best Halo multiplayer created and possibly the best multiplayer game.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Forgive me HaloGAF for I have sinned.

Spoiler

I played through almost the entire campaign using default controls.
