Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

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.

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.
 
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
 
So really, it makes sense to buy the Silver Req packs to exhaust all the Common-Rare permanent REQs, then when you buy Golds you should get the Legendary permanents guaranteed, right?
 
This is how I feel as well. Especially the point about Dr. Halsey. I feel that Bungie would never have done anything on this scale, in terms of story and lore and character development. It seems 343 is more willing in that respect, and I couldn't be happier.
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
 
Not getting the love for Swords of Sanghelious, I felt Enemy Lines and the E3 mission(forgetting the name) were both better.
 
I am going to do a second play through of the campaign. I was so into the story and wanting to know what would happen next that i overlooked a lot of things. i'll take my sweet time, search through everything, and take in all the scenery. But you're right, It is gorgeous.

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.

Why no subs on logs?

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.
 
To add to that, playing Warzone Assault as attackers is the worst thing ever.

It feels like attackers need a small advnatage to have a chance while throwing bodies at the base.. Like start on Req level 3 or something.

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.
 
Multiplayer servers down? I keep getting a "Attention: could not find a server that was suitable for all members of your fireteam", when I try to join anything in warzone or arena.

I suppose I should point out that I'm not currently in a fireteam, either.
 
Alright 4:45 solo heroic. Easiest and shortest Halo heroic I've played yet, but I rushed through a few missions. I'll be back to play through it again slower, and a coop playthrough as well.
 
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
it flies and shit
I ran over to the bosses and this little sequence happened.

Xbox Clips
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.
 
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.
 
Don't know if its my controller or the game.

But sometimes I will throw a grenade without pressing left trigger. I'm on Halo 4 control scheme.
 
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.

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.
 
Legendary Solo just got a lot easier, once I started ordering my Spartan teammates to kill and suppress.

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.
 
Is it different on legendary?
Your team mates can get killed, and then resurrect themselves. Shocked me when was killed and no mission failure.
 
The end of mission 5 on Legendary is something else. Nothing short of good luck and an incredible amount of patience is going to get me past this.
