Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

Was Halo Live good? I haven't watched it because I was studying, is it worth the watch now while I wait for the game?
 
My aiming has felt really off recently. I'm getting frustrated with myself. I can't explain it. Like I'll land a shot or two and then when trying to track them I overcompensate or something and shoot past them. Can't find a sensitivity I like.. It's weird because things felt alright before launch.

Maybe I just need to get gud :3
 
Warzone bosses should give points based on the damage the teams deal to them. Would be a bit more fair than getting almost all the job done and being robbed of the kill at the end. If a boss is worth 100 points and a team does 75% of the damage they should get 75 points and the other team 25 points. The team who get the kill could receive a "Kill bonus 25 points" or something like that. It would be a bit less frustrating than how it's done now I think.
 
My god, can't even get one kill. I'm not bad at FPS either. This is going to be a campaign and done game I think. Frustrating.

yo, switch back to that sloppy ass controller you had before.

also, I usually have to sit at 3 sens, but this game I feel more comfortable at 7. Maybe try that?

Don't talk about my controller like that, it has feelings too ya know! I might do as daft as it would be. I think I just need a new one but they're so pricy. Might be a Christmas thing hehe.

Yeah I've been at 3 and I bumped it up for a match.. It's weird because it barely felt any faster at 6. Need to keep tinkering till I find a sweet spot I guess.

I think this is part of my problem, by the time I feel a hit I am already dead and can't react to it, yet I can blow an entire clip in the back of someone's head and they can turn around and kill me lol, I'm sticking with it but it's pissing me off knowing I am at a massive disadvantage just because I am not near a data center.

Still can't nail down aiming either, maybe that has something to do with latency too who knows. Aim speed 5 so far, 6 seemed almost worse I think I need like 4.5 lol.

tbh its part my fault for playing at 1am but the last two games have been much better, i'd prefer to wait for a good connection then fill a spot

Damn if I don't feel the same way. I am in awe of how much better everyone else is. I've never really been a Halo MP guy (played every campaign dozens of times) because I was always into the more twitchy shooters. I dug the beta though, and the first day I was doing about a 1.0 k/d ratio. Now? Don't ask.

A lot of users here and elsewhere have been reporting strange aim acceleration different than it was in the beta. I made a post about it here, collecting some other members posts that I saw around the same time:

Asked to have someone look into it but so far only Josh Holmes has replied, and all he said was basically "yes we changed it since beta but the pro team says they like it so deal with it."
So making the aiming suck and be more unpredictable was intended. Glad that 343 saw all the hugely popular reactions to the beta aiming and then said, "Yeah we can't let this happen."
 
Really cool thing about the first menu (before you press start/menu), if you leave it on long enough new things float around. Pretty quickly you'll get a Pelican. Occasionally more than one.

Yesterday I left it on while I was doing some other stuff and looked up to see a dead Grunt cartwheeling through space.

I am really enjoying the campaing. But its better in coop, so I played on Heroic until mission 7 today with a friend online, and that was pretty damn amazing! During the night I just played arena with other friends!

Yeah I started this morning, and realized it probably be a good co-op experience. So I stopped and played warzone with friends, then played alittle breakout. Just haven't gone back yet, but I'm interested in the story. Loved hunt the truth and the fall of reach stuff seemed really cool, only watched one ep

Maybe i missed it, but was there a production that detailed Locke becoming a spartan? I watched all of nightfall

They reduced the aim assist so your aim has to be on point or you'll get shit on. I've always played on 5 but I had to bring it down to 4 since I couldn't hit the side of a barn with 5.

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.

2.0 K/D means you are in a very high percentile. Not sure what you think average is.
 
Just beat the game, normal, solo. I know some people complained about the campaign on 4 but I thought it was better than 5's. The 30fps animations is really jarring (a friend asked if they were sprites) and the story was pretty Ho hum. I was expecting way more variety. I'll probably be trading this in to best buy this week.

Seems like while 343 went all out with gameplay, they really cheaped out on the maps. They made only a few maps, made remixes of them to save time, then forged the rest because fuck it. Forge maps seriously should not be part of the starting lineup.
The single player has some really nice natural environments with aesthetics that would be wonderful for multiplayer maps. Imagine maps set on
the forerunner planet or sanghelios
. Instead the maps we get are basically 'Grey Boxes and Tubes #5.' Step it up 343!

I assume the "free dlc" maps will be like 90% forge maps as well. The gameplay may be great, but get ready for the ugliest halo multiplayer yet. Hoping to be proven very wrong.

Sadly i am going to have to agree with this. I don't get it though, Halo 4 had some pretty sweet looking MP maps for sure. Forge maps are bullshit, they never truly look really good and anyone can mess around in Forge.

Seriously....i MUCH rather simply PAY for the upcoming DLC maps if they are proper ones, not Forge ones. I don't mind paying for them if they are really good. If the upcoming free DLC maps are going to be Forge....no thank you! But look at Halo 4, after a while the Forge maps were thrown into the playlist and it got chosen waaaaaay too many times, incredibly annoying and ruined the MP for me. I wish 343 could just state to us if they will be Forge made or not.
 
Ok. Something happened after several matches and multiplayer (Arena, slayer mostly) clicked and it is incredible. Had a few killstreaks and satisfying sniper kills with snapshots and I'm hooked. Every weapon seems viable. I love the sniper rifle, magnum, SMG, battle rifle and pretty much everything else really. I've not touched Warzone but in Arena at least it is really refreshing. Coming from Destiny, I really like the weapon balance, that I'm not constantly aiming down the sights, that there's not special moves/ different character classes to contend with and the typically longer engagement time in each shootout. I really like Destiny, though I'm happy this game feels very different. I barely touched Halo 4 multiplayer but have fond memories of Halo 1-3 multi which Halo 5 is evoking while still feeling like a new experience because I guess it's been long enough since I played those.

Mission 7

all I did at the start was look around, look at the water and kept hearing that 'lookit all that water' in my mind. Seriously one of the most beautiful levels in Halo period. Would love if there was a map that used those assets and that look

Might I instead interest you in Forged Boxes and Tubes #4?

Yeah they look really out of place, I hope they port over the H2A maps that would be awesome.

It took me a few matches to realize that zoom on BR, snipers etc. is Left Trigger not the usual click on left joystick, which is what I've been used to all these years.

That and the added B button boost as opposed to Melee will give even seasoned vets somewhat of an initial learning curve.
