Sorry to keep asking this, but I really can't figure out online co op. Is there no lobby or matchmaking? I'm on mission 5 and have been playing with AI teammates, and co op was the main reason I wanted this game along with 60 fps.

There's no matchmaking for co-op

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?

Yup, even MCC had more robust social options.

For my money, this is the best multiplayer Halo experience from a gameplay perspective ever. With some tweaks, it will be the complete package.

Bought a digital copy of this game today, hopefully the limiteds are still available this weekend so I can get one.

Gotta say, I think my favorite part of the game so far is right after I headshotted a Grunt, an elite yelled out "He shot him in the face!"

I should have clipped that...

Love the fluidity, graphical compromises have not once taken me out of the game. Feels so good. So far I'm loving this game, and I'm excited to get into the multiplayer.

How do I unlock more armor?

 

[draughn101]

So its safe to say Halo 5 has the best Multiplayer in the series, right?

Like, theres no need to argue anymore. Whoever it was that said its MGSV for Halo fans was right on the money. Its AMAZING.



Its like playing the video game equivalent to a hot knife through butter.
Fucking smooth.

'Twas me!! Nice gifs

Oh...

 

[Jtrizzy]

There's no matchmaking for co-op

So you only play with people on your friend list? I have no friends on live, guess I should just manually add people from HaloGaf? or is there an easier way? Kind of dissapointing though, I thought drop in drop out co op was going to be like Diablo 3 or the like where you can always find someone around the same level as you.

 

[KingV]

Co op campaign anyone?

I just started a session on normal. GamerTag: MrSaver

When the Mark V arrives on the REQ system I think it will be the first time that I buy any sort of micro transaction on a game haha

 

[A Penguin]

Why should I bother with XP boosts? Does it really matter what level I am?

 

[TheOhrenberger.]

Last clip from me today, but sometimes you got guys all over your ass and you gotta cap a flag, lol.

It's amazing how badly I hated AA's in Reach and 4, but love the Spartan Abilities.

That cap!

My wife bought me Halo 5 today as a nice surprise. This has me very happy and feeling generous. I'm going to give away a copy of the Master Chief Collection. Should I make a thread for this or just have people request here? Never given away a game before so I don't want to break rules.

I'd love to take it!

Campaign's growing on me.

this is why you don't chase in Halo

Agreed. The only time I've heard about a base getting capped is when it's been capped.

Same just got settled in to play too

[bounchfx]

Are the servers down again? I want to play arena but it just hangs forever until an error that says error on dedicated server

So far this entire experience has been poop

Even worse there's no way to back out, so if the search fails I'm stuck in this screen for 5 minutes

 

[IceBringer]

I love ground pounding someone while they're in midair. Spartan abilities are amazing

That makes two of us. I'm pretty happy sitting pretty with what I have. I enjoy seeing other people's armor, though.

 

[Madness]

Yup, TJ Ram.

Open up the Jansport for all of us.

 

[Stinkles]

I believe I just got betrayed for my sweet AR and pistol skin.

lol, I'm climbing my way out of Platinum in Team Arena, no Jansport here.

 

[Einchy]

I'm so shit at this game, it bums me the fuck out. I wouldn't say I'm amazing at Halo or anything but I never had any issues getting 2.0 K/Ds in most matches that I played.

In this game, though, I struggle to even go positive. I keep dying and barely ever knowing who or what is shooting at me, it's really frustrating.

Just killed a guy I didn't even see with the Hydra, weapon is alright in my books!

I'd betray for a sweet AR skin too....

 

[esmith08734]

Servers a little wonky for anyone else?

 

[solis74]

Well I'm on the last level. This has easily become my favorite Halo campaign next to CE. CE will always hold the top spot because I was so young and the sense of wonder when landing on Halo and playing through that left such a huge impact on me. But, this. Bravo 343. Halo is in great hands. About the finish this. Regardless of how this ends, I loved this game. Thank you 343.

yeps

Getting a 2.0 K/D in most Halo matches would make you pretty damn amazing at Halo, unless we're talking social.

I can't even connect to multiplayer.

It takes a while to get in to, the lower aim assist and the arena side of things being so damn competitive means its pretty tough initially. It'll click if you persevere
And um yeah, 2.0 if pretty damn good imo.

 

[Shauni]

Is there a list for how to unlock visors or are they all gotten from REQ packs? I feel like I need VCR face

It will click. I felt the same thing at first and then booooop it all clicked.

I need more multi though ...

We've reached the point where there aren't enough buttons for these controls

It's only been a day, give yourself some time to adjust man.

Lol this right there.

That fight solo on Legendary with this brain dead AI was whole levels of nope. I never ran so much for my life in a video game.

 

[Regret Upon Approval]

Wait, is the grav hammer and legendary rocket launcher in the game?

 

[BeforeU]

My friend cant join me, I cant join them. Invite not working. Fuck

 

[shrek]

Only thing I don't like is the sniper rifle's appearance. Hopefully they add a skin that gives it back the green screen.

Also, what happened to Infection?
