Yeah, the scoring system for Legendary bosses needs to be reworked. Only getting credited for the final hit is a joke.

That's why ideally you have part of your team clearing out enemies. I do agree though, because in effect it makes boss kills more or less completely random unless you manage to wipe the entire team from any portion of the map with a line of sight. Maybe distribute a portion of the points to the team with the final kill, and divvy the rest of the points up based on damage given.

Is there a reason why half the maps in this game are just variations of each other

No worries, the dlc will fix that.

Wait, nevermind.

I can't wait to try Orion...coming from playing a ton of Destiny I love a good old piece of shit map.

The worst map in Destiny is probably better than Orion. I think.

Fuck, now i'm not so sure.

Visually, Orion reminds me of one of those maps you'd see built on the Quarry of Forge World in the early months of the game's release. As far as gameplay goes, there's way too many experimental concepts going on and it seems like it's designed specifically to make reaching power weapons ridiculously difficult. Why leave the comfort of the towers to go parkour onto pride rock for a Sniper when you can shoot anyone who does in the back?

Jump feels the exact same. No problems with movement speed either.

The auto aim is severely toned down so it has a much higher learning curve. Anyone coming from 4 and expecting to completely have all their BR skills transfer over are going to be surprised.

There's no sense of momentum with the jumps. You'll sprint, jump off a ledge, use your boost and still barely get anywhere at all.

I disagree whole heartedly. Doing it any differently complete reduces the urgency of the bosses arrival...

What now is an event that can alter the course of the match, would suddenly become less pivotal.

Teams that want the points need to keep the area clear of enemies...
 
So is there no matchmaking for the campaign co op? I can't figure out how to do the drop in drop out thing. I was thinking it'd like diablo 3 for example.
 
I was pretty decent with the BR in Halo 4. I could feel when I had the upper hand and it was just a handful of shots and my opponent was down. I feel so uncomfortable with this gun. I keep changing sensitivity. I'm lost.

I was just saying that Dungeons is the worst MP map I've ever played lol...but most maps take time to hate so Orion sounds extra awful. Can't wait.

wat

Dungeons is one of the better maps in that game, if not solely for the fact that there isn't a bunch of random shit on the map like 90% of Destiny's maps. It should honestly be commended for that fact alone.
 
Campaign finished. Thought it was a pretty fun. I thought the story was enjoyable enough. I don't really understand that reviews that said it was confusing though. It's super simple to follow, even for me who has never really bothered with any of the EU. A big improvement over Halo 4.

One man's treasure....

But I've only played Control on the map. And it's terrible.
 
Watching Jeff play it during a QuickLook is heart breaking. Dude is running in the open with a damn smg and opted not to take the BR. smh
 
The game has a few pacing issues, I would have loved to see a few larger scale set pieces, but overall, I think Halo 5 is tied with / just under Halo 2 as my favorite Halo campaign to date.
 
So going through the Active Roster/Friend Menu in game, here's the list of features we don't have.

  • Viewing what a friend is doing
  • Viewing who a friend is partied up with
  • Viewing a friend's rank or emblem at a glance
  • Making a lobby open, closed or invite only, as well as adjusting party size
  • Muting players

Probably more i'm missing. Anywhere these features exist is scattered or hidden behind either another submenu or only visible via the Friend app on the Xbox One.

Is it possible for 343 to patch the UI to include these things? For all the improvements the UI has made as far as functionality goes, we've ironically lost next to all functionality.

December I guess?

I never felt that connection in Halo 4.

In FUD Lasky was saved by the young Chief. At the end of the series you see Lasky hear the FUD's distress call and send the Infinity to save the Chief.

In the game itself, The Infinity comes to Requiem because a science team got wiped out and a forerunner symbol led them there. And when the game ends Lasky informs the Chief that he grew up in the Corbullo military academy - something the Chief already knows, and that Lasky would know he knows.

There was a disconnect even with Halo 4.

Yeah but I mean, you come from Forward Unto Dawn into Halo 4 and then you have that meeting between Chief and Lasky and then later on, when Del Rio is relieved of his duties, you have Lasky do for Chief, what Chief basically did for Lasky on Corbulo.

Now compare Nightfall and Halo 5. The way Nightfall ended, how Locke's own team betrayed him, how it was Spartan-II Randall who saved him and Talitha, I don't know. Hard to explain what I mean. I think Locke's character in H5 suffers because of it. Oh well, still not done campaign yet so I can't share full thoughts. I do enjoy it much more than Halo 4, in terms of game play and story.
 
Any way to make the players in your fire team and party a different color so you can actually tell them apart on the map and in game without highlighting everyone's name?! So annoying. Gotta be an option or a glitch... Right?!
 
Well I got a replacement disc. It stopped again at 5% for a moment, just to piss me off. Now at 10% so relieved.

Just be aware there seems to be a batch of bad discs out there. Other people posting they had issues around various forums too.
