Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

The ranking is stupid in this game.

Played ten placement games with a friend.

He had a 3.3 kda with 105 deaths. Ranked onyx.

I had a 9.9 kda, 70 more kills than him, and less deaths. Top of the team almost every game... Ranked platinum 1.

How does that even work.

He has a cooler gamertag.

Had a situation yesterday where a buddy of mine ranked Plat and I ranked Gold and I had better stats in every game. Not sure what goes into it, but the goal is to move up in ranks so it's not that big a deal to me.
 
I've yet to see a tank really run amok. I've always seen them get taken down almost right away.

I've had the other team get two scorpions and a covie tank and run rampant - at least to the point where we have all three bases but we can't get into the core because the tanks guard all the doors.
 
I finished Halo 4 on Heroic, I swear to God. Were the Knights always this tough? It's like fighting a tank, only harder. Anybody got any tips?
 
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.

It is def not just you, bruh. The aiming on h5 feels worse than mcc h3. It feels like cursor acceleration or a deadzone issue to me. It sucks because h:ce and h2 aiming feels perfect. This though feels like shit. I've even had my cursor slow down mid rotation. Like I said, I dont know exactly what it is but something is definitely not right.
 
How did I get put into Gold 1

Target weak spots + use grenades. Use surroundings to hide and flank them. Use squad to distract knights while you flank. Find a bigger gun.
 
Figure I would try my qualification matches last night. Got silver in the combine one. Bad mistake doing that one first. Had no idea what was going on or the maps. Then got gold on Team slayer. So not to bad. Haven't gotten a good team yet. I think I've won about 3 matches combine.

One thing I have noticed that I miss from playing Destiny is the dancing. I had a great triple kill for me and I was dying to break out a victory dance. lol

I'd be lying if I said I never tapped my DPad to bust a move at the end of a match.
 
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.

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.

also, it could be that the assassination you did was a "special case" one, such as when sprinting, enemy aerial, you aerial. those are still in, right?

You can kill them with one magazine. Shoot the glowing band on their arm, it explodes, they scream, shoot their mouth, they explode. If you don't do it this way they take forever to kill.
 
If you enjoy beasting in matches, I'm not sure why you'd be upset with a lower initial ranking. It pretty much guarantees easy opponents until you get where you're supposed to be.
 
I can't be the only one who wonders why you can't create Loadouts in warzone right?

I have like 50x needler cards right now, so why can't I just create a loadout with the needler and BR as long as meet the req level and have the req cards/points?

you can sprint and do it? even if I do so and hold the melee button behind someone chasing them I just whack them normally, and yes the crosshair goes red first.

Sometimes I feel like my game is different to everyone else lol
 
It bothers me that you cant see gamer tags before the game starts. Also what is the point of things such as spartan stance if you cant see anyone's spartan? Also why is there no party up system after the game is over like Halo 3?
 
I like the game so far but a few thoughts on MP

- in matchmaking for TS, I literally only play Orion , the underwater facility,regret, and the city map. For free for all its always that pilot map and the city map. I've never seen the other maps in MP yet. Is that normal? I haven't seen the 2 maps from the beta yet at all

- the fuel rod cannon on regret needs to be nerfed. Like the first team that gets it can literally take out the other teams multiple times since it has more ammo than a rocket launcher and it seems to spawn a lot. I played a match where 1 guy had 21 kills against us just by using the fuel rod cannon

- the AR needs to be strengthened or something. It's useless. Even at close quarters it's still better to use the pistol

- the SMg is useless in breakout. Honestly the only weapons worth anything are the pistol, Br and dmr. How bout some balance 343

- also I don't get how were ranked. I'm not a consistent player at all and often times I have huge slumps. I'll do good sometimes but often times I just get wiped. This even showed during my qualifying matches yet I get placed into platinum 1 in team slayer and get my butt kicked all the time. What's up with that
 
So both me and a friend bought the Deluxe Digital Edition from the US marketplace and we just realized that we haven't received ANY of the promised goodies, including REQ packs and preorder bonuses.
The only thing we have is being able to watch the Fall of Reach and that's it.

When I first booted the game up I was greeted by some sort of message that I have REQ packs, but when I checked the section of the menu there were none....

So basically I spent 80$ for the game and got Fall of Reach as a bonus?

Anyone else having this problem?
 
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.

The menus are pretty but almost useless when it comes to information. All I gleam from the screen about other people is that they exist. I can't see their name, their profiles, status, rank, anything.
And then I hate that when the game ends, it goes straight to a screen showing only vagueries about my stats alone. I have to go out of my way to actually see the full game results.

I don't know why 343 tries so hard to isolate me from other people.

no idea why you can customize your spartan and emblem if no one in the lobby can see it

For real. When I got to my first lobby I moved the stick assuming I'd be able to move through the little emblem icons and see the names/appearance/stats of each person. But no. I cant even see their names, and theres not even an indication of who is talking. The lobby is as barebones as it could be without resorting to a simple number.

Did not buy from the US store,bought from Germany and yes I did not get ANYTHING from the pre-order stuff
I even see the Pre-order REQ pack as downloaded and installed
 
So I am in mission 3 and I have a feeling am I missing things story wise. 4 was the last one I played but I feel like I am missing other story bits. What should I watch and/or read up on.?

I don't think I ever got all of mine either. :/ I've tried installing and uninstalling. At this point, I kinda want to contact support,ask for a refund and just buy the regular editon.
 
Wow, are they aware of this? Are they working on a solution?
Don't know. Sorry. I can watch fall of reach and those 14 deluxe req packs seem to work. Got two already like planned.

But pre-order stuff is nowhere to be found. Contacting the German support is useless. Won't even try..
