Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris
- Thread starter Slightly Live
- Start date
Seriously. I thought GAF was just being GAF complaining about it, but playing SWAT last night... Terrible map, all around.
Fuck! This changes everything! Why didn't they have a little tutorial on this in the beginning of the game... Or did I just miss out cause I'm player 2?
Is it only in swat or is it in other playlists?

Looking for 3 people that wanna play arena. Any takers. GT: dusktildawn48
I can see why this could be frustrating but, most of the time I end up winning 3vs4 games (I'm with the 3). Stick with your team and light em up. They have less to players to kill. So you can rack the points up faster.

On mission 3 and i have to say... the squad AI is so bad. I would rather have 3 Marines from Halo CE than the Legendary Blue Team. Blue Team lost against 2 grunts, multiple times. Just to test them, i didn't shoot a grunt rushing us with plasma grenades in his hands, not one shot was fired from blue team, fred and linda down.
The missions themselves aren't bad at all but the squad AI is terrible. I understand that they can't be the killing machines they are in the lore but there's something wrong about seeing Linda, Kelly and Fred Firing at a stationary target and missing every single shot.

This has to be (imo) the best halo yet.
I understand the warden complaints related to the campaign. But everything else I just don't agree with. The encounter design is really, really well done. I consistently will approach an encounter one way, die because of a stupid mistake, and then find there are better ways to tackle the situation. For example, on "unconfirmed", the last large encounter before finding the guardian is so much easier if you platform to the rocket launcher on the left side of the area and just shoot the crawlers from above.
The ai is also surprisingly competent. Specifically the hunters and the promethean soldiers. you can't just throw grenades at them (they will deflect them), and you can't exploit them by circling around them up close anymore. I love how the second hunter goes berserk after you take out the first one.
I've spoiled the story for myself. And while I can kind of understand where people are coming from, it's still not horrible, makes the story easier to understand, and really lets 343 go crazy in the next game. Plus, the overall mission design (outside of the warden fights) is incredibly polished and well done.
The multiplayer is exactly what I want out of a first person shooter. I wish it were easier to unlock helmets and other armor pieces without buying reqs. But that's a minor complaint. The 60fps and new mechanics make a huge difference. I am so glad they took our armor abilities and loadouts in arena.

One thing I always liked about Bungie was that they didn't care about pro gaming too much. Make a good game and people will play it, even if it's not balanced like chess.
343 needs to make punishment harsher like a 5 minute ban from MM for first offense.

Doesn't weapon switch drop the flag? (I never grab the flag in BO.)

I'll play with you guys for a few games at least.
I accidentally just joined our fire team when trying to navigate through menus haha
What was W/L
Seriously, no idea. I remember it feeling wonky in the beta, too. I don't know if there are other stats that contribute (power weapon kills, etc.) or if it's just random, but initial rankings just do not feel right.
Sounds like you've got a nasty case of the gitguds
Is it just me or does the aiming just feel "off" in this game. I think it's the cursor acceleration not being set correctly. The only way I've found to counter it is to set my sensitivity to 1! For reference in destiny I've got it set to Max level 10. So the difference is massively jarring. I feel a tad silly getting a console for this game if this issue doesn't get addressed. Its having an adverse effect on my enjoyment of the game.

Is it me or is the elastic auto aim quite sticky...Its really hard to choose my target when there are multiple enemies around sometimes

i think its taking into account who you beat as well as you just winning

Anyone notice that the assassination you select never really plays half the time? i've had several different takedown animations instead of the rare one I currently have enabled.
I think the point is that they played the same matches.

I'm so used to melee on RB (thanks to destiny) that I'd rather just keep it haha.
Don't enemies usually use much smarter AI on higher difficulties in Halo?
How is the enemy AI in this one?

It just me or is there no way to know who someone is partied up with/ what they are playing?
Noticed this as well. It was such a helpful feature for finding groups...
Friends list shows what they're playing, nothing in the actual game does. Can't really see who with.
Hot damn it does lol. I kept pressing grenade toss cause I thought that was the way lol. Thanks!
I doubt Frank could comment on this but I would love to see active roster come back in an update. Menus are really clunky. Reach's system was absolutely perfect.
Yeah, the roster needs some addition. Destiny and Reach made it very convenient for finding people to play with.

Glad it's not just me - it's a bit clunky trying to see who's playing what and with who atm which is a shame
Enjoying the multiplayer a lot but do miss partying up/ active roster type stuff

Certain animations require a larger space around the character.
So if there's a wall or something in front of the person you're assassinating, it might not trigger your custom animation if there's not enough room.

How they still managed not to do Active Roster after all these years boggles the mind...

I agree. I do like it more with the reduced radar seems more fun but too many bodies playing at once.

Just been playing Mission 5. Two random background people are arguing over "Mongooses or Mongeese". Genius. (It's Mongooses btw).

I... wait.
105 deaths across 10 matches means 10.2 deaths per game.
Your friend would need to be picking up 30 kills per game.
What in god's name were you playing.
EDIT: Right, KDA, assists, forgot. Still, that's a ton of kills. Especially with the ridiculous 9.9
