Wow
All of the forge maps are terrible this time around. Halo Reach had some DOPE custom maps... dunno where they went wrong here
Still hate the spawning on practically all maps.
Double wow
Just played Orion in FFA... twice in a row.
Would be happy to never play that again. All in all I would say the map quality is higher than Halo 4, but that one is certainly a sore spot.

So far the campaign has been really dull. It just kind of feels like going through the motions rather than being invested in the battles. Kind of hard to explain, really. That and I have no idea what's going on half the time

Yeah, in Halo 5 343 actually pulled off a lot of what I expected to see in Halo 3 (and then went further!). I thought for sure that Bungie would take the story to interesting places and really double down on the lore, considering how Halo 2 brought so much with the Covenant civil war and the Arbiter's perspective. Instead, they played it way too safe. And Halsey was nowhere to be seen until Reach, where she was basically a blip in the overall story.
Halo 5's plot surprised me. 343 aren't fooling around. They've really committed to turning Halo into the sci-fi epic it's wanted to be since Halo 2 and the first few novels.
Mp clicked for me tonight. My thumb just needed a rest from launch day. So good.
4v4 > warzone assault > breakout > warzone
Also, there needs to be a doubles playlist. Also br starts
Orion sucks ass. Nuke it.
Also, power weapons shouldn't respawn until the predecessor has been used up or despawned. This is huge.
Good arena games rev3rb, cyclone, plywood, tawpgun

Does anyone know when more objective game types will be added? The amount in the game is very weak.
There should be, I'd never want to play someone on the other side of the planet

Danny game won't connect to the dedicated servers, so I cannot play multiplayer.
I am not amused

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Not getting the love for Swords of Sanghelious, I felt Enemy Lines and the E3 mission(forgetting the name) were both better.

Yup, I plan on doing an Easy play through sometime later and take even more time to explore. I got impatient during levels 3-6 and just blazed through those. The vehicle areas looked pretty expansive and I'm sure there were some goodies to be discovered. I think I only got 1 or 2 of the intel in those levels.
This game makes me want a new Metroid Prime asap. Exploring unique alien worlds in first person is a special kind of joy.
Yeah this would be helpful. Very hard to hear some of them unless you blast the audio.
That level had some hilarious Grunt conversations. I felt bad about murdering them after the entertainment they provided.

defenders is really fun. attackers on the other hand is just a mess of throwing your body until something sticks. realyl stupid.
anyway, good games brax
Played 3 Warzone matches and yeah, it's really fun, but wow the lack of hit detection just messes me up. I have no idea if I'm doing damage. The AR seems useless unless someone else is using it lol. The BR is still great and the SMG felt strong too. Melee is GOAT and were most of my kills in the first game.
I suck at Halo mp but with time I can get to where I'm perfectly average and that's fine. I could see teams just dominating Warzone though as I only played with randoms and nobody was coordinated even though we won 2 of 3.

I cannot stand the Crossfire map. It feels so weird to play on. I can't get a flow going on it no matter what.

Up to three, even! So if you're achievement hunting and don't want to replay the whole freakin' level, you can easily avoid that. And if you get fed up but want to try later, you can also do that.
Easily the best unexpected feature.

So I posted this in the Elite controller OT and thought I would post it here as well since that thread has been pretty quiet lately and I'm sure a lot of you purchased an Elite controller to play Halo with. So here it is:
If anyone is like myself and has very long play sessions, and using all 4 paddles is starting to strain your wrists or perhaps you cant get used to the new way of gripping the controller, i just tried something that feels very comfortable and works well for me and hopefully you as well.
I took off the two longer paddles and only kept the two smaller paddles. I put one on bottom right, and the other top left. It feels amazing and very natural this way. I've only been playing Halo so I mapped the bottom right paddle for jumping, and the top left paddle for reloading. I hope this helps!

I love Warzone. So much crazy shit happens. Right after destroying a Phaeton
I ran over to the bosses and this little sequence happened.

One of the most amazing unexpected moments in the game. Like I said in my impressions post, 343 nailed Halo's humor.
Nice. I keep forgetting that the game even has Shoulder Charge and Smash and so I never used them in the few matches I played. I think I'm just gonna do a few Warzone matches where all I do is charge and smash to train my mind that they're available.

I struggle to finish kills so badly!!! I burn through shields so often and then just choke on the last couple of shots. Gah.
Love the design of soldiers, it's a shame you never really get to see this level of detail as youre fighting them.
My biggest gripe with fighting Prometheans, is how many visual effects are added over the top. I hate how if you're within a certain distance of them when one dies, your entire screen blurs up. It's obnoxious... The over bearing HUD, visual effects vying for screen space.
There's so much visual noise in campaign, give me a clean window into this gorgeous looking game any day.

Mission 7 spoilers: Need help
During this boss fight against the Eternal Warden as Blue-Team, am I actually trying to damage the Warden and I progress through the mission by "killing" him, or do I progress through the mission by killing all his spawns?

Target the Warden.

Alright haha. Came into the fight with nothing but an Energy Sword at 100%, a Binary Rifle with 5 shots, and the Promethean turrent. Lol, guess I"m gonna struggle for a while. Sword rush time.
Kill the Warden but you still have to deal with what's left at the 'back'. This was the worst for me on heroic. I was literally out of ammo dodging attacks on the right Hill. The knight never goes there and the Warden can't kill you at the top. Waiting for team to revive and get a few shots in before dying again, waiting for them to revive and do it again etc.

Whenever I play co-op with my friends, it's always a rush to pick Buck.
No doubt, he is the only likable character on Osiris after all.
I seem to be getting progressively worse at the game somehow but it was fun, besides assault hehe.

Legendary Solo just got a lot easier, once I started ordering my Spartan teammates to kill and suppress.
Only hard parts are the Warden fights. Everything else is piss easy.

Solo legendary run finished.
Fuck that warden three way. Fuck it to hell.
Yup. I found I have to press up on the target exactly when I want them to fire too, otherwise they'll just run around. Somehow Tanaka ended up being just as bad a driver as Kat in Reach. Additionally, the AI never listens to regroup near me. They'll be off again getting downed and so when the ransom soldier teleports behind me, and downs me, no one reaches in time.
