Are they saying if I backed out to the main menu? Nope, never did.
I think that is what he was saying, it's a quote from when I brought up having never gotten to play Truth or Regret in Team Slayer.

It seems I'm always put on a shitty team for strongholds. We lose a lot by a big margin.

For chat or for audio only? I'm not sure if you can use it for chat, maybe you need that kind of cable that combines the audio jack and the mic jack.
I'm using my Siberia V3. Audio works fine but the mic volume is low on skype. Haven't tested party chat or ingame.

Is Regret in the Arena playlist? I LOVED playing slayer on the map in the beta, and probably strongholds in it too. Was Regret in strongholds in the beta?
I miss it.

Just finished the campaign. First 2 missions were fun as hell bUT mission 3 drags on forever with a horrible vehicle section. After that it had a few ups nut mostly downs. The last 2 levels are shit and I hope whoever made them are fired.
That's a good point I hadn't even thought of that, ideally I'd want it for chat and audio.
Thanks, good to know it should all work okay, got the V2 but I've tried on the V3's... didn't think V2's could get any comfier!

Kinda funny when Frankie claimed that there would be a deeper explanation in the game... havent seen that yet besides some chatter here and there during Osiris Missions..

Plaza is ok but Orion is really bad map imo. People just camping with Dmr/Br and waiting for someone to move in the middle.Didn't like the layout of that map..This game could be much better if it has more balanced and competitive 4v4 maps like Coliseum and Truth.

While playing free for all, I noticed there's something off about the look of the spartans. I went for a black armor and I get this weird gray-whitey look during gameplay. Don't kill me, but didn't Halo 4 spartans look better? And no, there's nothing wrong with my TV or console, everything is calibrated just fine.
Anyway, they look really washed out somehow, especially at the beginning of the match when they all stand in line.... Anyone else noticing this?

I would love to see any sort of acknowledgement from Time Warner or 343 about the crippling lag a lot of us are getting.
Getting tossed into a parallel dimension every 2 minutes isn't fun.
This is what I and others deal with

Oh you have the same issues as me and a my buddies i play with.
My friend used Comview while we were playing, and our average ping was 200ms. So basicly everything was US Servers.
Its really not fun when an enemy in breakout eats your entire pistol magazine and nothing happens.
This Dedicated Servers are just pointless if im only playing on US Servers. The game really tries to hide this differences, but it doesnt work. In your view it looks like someone killed you in 2-3 shots while you are at the end of your magazine.
Its really not fun IMO.
And i really dont get the excuse for no Data Center selection when the matchmaking progress in general is very flawed in terms of matching people and ranks..
This is a good thing. I'll take playability of not having your spartan blend in with shadows over you looking slick, black, and ballin. It's why Halo CE had black as a color option but H2 only had steel.

Could be a bug. I checked my campaign service record after beating the game and it only showed 6:48 hours on Heroic. Checked each individual level and the game hadn't recorded the stats for half the levels.

Not just the washed out look.
Yeah... they don't look great. Sacrifices had to be made to get dat buttery smooth 60fps.
I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me because the textures on the spartans are pretty strange/bad. However the gameplay and experience is perfect and that's enough to get me through those issues.

Man i really dont like any of the maps in this game.
The Beta maps like Empire or Truth are ok. But everything else is a cluttered mess. And that grenade spamming really doesnt help.
The campaign spaces are so great and the campaign gameplay wise was really a big step up from Halo 4. Coop is really really awesome in Halo 5, thanks to no lag and the ability to choose your favorit character etc.
But this multiplayer.
I liked last years H5 beta. I was the only one in my friendslist playing it till the end.
But im really not getting any fun out of it in the full game. Dont know why. Maybe im getting to old for this hectic mp stuff.
Im playing on 10 sens and its really impossible to turn around in time to fight back. Its still sooo slow.
Ive read somethere that the Pro team at 343 is responsible for this... really not a fan of this heavy feel. Old beta was fine.

Whoa, whoa, let's not alienate any demographics here.
Me and some random dude spawned inside the vehicle requisition room in Warzone. You won't believe what happens next

That almost happened to me in that exact same spot but I bailed from my warthog before it reached the top haha. I was driving. Oops.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
So you can assassinate the warden in campaign, but I dont think you can in Warzone. Lame.

Oh another thing: I opened about 5 gold packs and didn't get a single weapon skin... Aren't they supposed to be found in gold packs?

My ISP is Time Warner as well, but haven't experienced lag like that. Though, I agree, Time Warner can be pretty unreliable. Sometimes my connection drops pretty significantly and I end up with a 1700ms ping to the Time Warner server that is around 45 minutes away from me. But that usually lasts only a few minutes. Sometimes it can last the majority of the night.
Next time you're getting lag like that you should run a speed test. Also contact Time Warner about it, you'll probably get the run around and have them tell you there is nothing wrong like they did me when I was getting disconnected from the internet everyday for hours at a time. They eventually came out and replaced the cable line, it had apparently had somehow become damaged (or something like that).

Swat on Rig is uhhh...somethin.
At one point it was spawning my teammates and I in the exact same spot right in front of this guy and he just mowed us down about 3 times each before it decided to spawn us somewhere else. Not sure I've ever seen anything like that.

Eh no one will know it till they get there.
Just finished mission 10 on legendary. Really, really loving this campaign so far. It's shaping up to be my favorite.
Couple of points:
Couple of points:
- I remember seeing comments regarding level design and there were a lot of corridors. This really isn't true, there's mostly open areas in this campaign
- Also remember seeing a lot of comments about the story can't be followed unless you're into lore. As someone who's really into Halo and only know it through the games, this is all shit. I'm following it just fine.
-
I LOVED the cutscene where Chief and Locke fight over Cortana. Cutscenes are stunning as well.
- Game is really pretty, IQ is impacted a lot in certain missions where the world looks really pretty and resolution drops. Frame rate is solid.
- Feel like the difficulty on Legendary is just right.
- WTF are those two missions which last 2 minutes about?

Finished the campaign, overall impressions are great, but I agree with the general consensus of it being a somewhat weak story. That and the Prometheans just aren't a fun enemy. They're annoying, they're completely free of any sort of charm(nice try with the bit on the last mission though) and most of the time I'm rolling my eyes and cussing in Spanish when I see the little rifts popping up. I sincerely hope we get to keep fighting Covenant remnants and the Prometheans don't completely replace them. I'll take any space magic I have to.
And fuck the Warden in particular. Not fun.
I liked Osiris, Locke was a little flat, I wouldn't use boring, but given his background, I think he was acted quite well. I don't hate him like some people seem to. The rest of Osiris was enjoyable. I liked Vale the most, probably because I enjoyed that her interest in the Sangheili matches my own and it's the first time in a Halo game we get to learn a tiny bit about the races of the Covenant.
Gameplay wise it's the best Halo I've played. Don't like that armor rewards are exclusive to req packs, there should have been some for achievements, completion on legendary, heroic, solo, co-op,etc. But it's not that big a deal.
Overall I'm very happy with it.
