So you are admitting you need the radar to be good at this game?
BK Scrub confirmed.

Is there a GAF group/clan or something I can join? It's horrible trying to rank up in arena with randoms.
Thats correct, Anyway, people should not invest so much in their initial placement rank, after that is where the real ranking beggins.
I was placed yesterday in Diamond 1 for slayer, got to say that I have had a good Winning percentage so far.
Stinkles, you Wonderful bastard, this game is just what I was looking for in a new Halo, on behalf of a bunch of old guys that used to LAN every week Halo, we thank 343 for this awesome MP experience we are having.

Here's my take on Halo 5: Guardians: This is the best Halo game I have ever played.
I finally feel like a Spartan, so powerful, fast and dangerous.
Best MP since the early days of Titanfall also... forgot how good Halo MP could be (it's been a while since it's been anywhere near this good IMO).

I'm not a big fan of radar but since footsteps aren't very distinct, I'd say the range should be buffed a bit. 30m in the beta was far too much, but 18 is basically useless. Either slightly increase the range or improve the audio cues. I'm seeing people crouchwalk more and more, which shouldn't be the effect a nerfed radar brings.

Warzone bosses should give points based on which team does the most damage. We seriously killed a 150pt boss to a sliver of health and an enemy zoomed up on a mongoose, ran into the boss on accident, killed him and got all the points.
I second this.
No way. It feels good being that guy!

I liked that he calls him "sir" haha... Classy guy. Locke is great.

Breakout has shields, the amount is low so there is no shield bar on the UI, all semi autos require one less trigger pull to kill. The mode that doesn't have shields is SWAT.
Yeah, Locke knows what's up. Throughout the game it shows he knew how to talk to people with respect. Good guy.

Yessss.
Ahhhh that explains a lot. Wondered why the enemies don't die as fast as in Swat because I don't have a shield bar I figured it must be without shields.

We have two of us running right now, trying to get out of Plat.
My feeling on the radar right now is that it is a valid gameplay shift that has made the game less enjoyable for me, currently.
The situational awareness the longer radar provided always felt like it made the game more about outshooting/outgrenading someone, since it was somewhat likely they'd know you were coming. In 5 so many more encounters feel like they are resolved by who saw the other person first, because the Arena radar can barely even tell you if someone is in the same room as you. It's not that I'm particularly bad at it or anything, it has just shifted some of the skill from outshooting someone to map movement. That's a perfectly valid gameplay shift, I'm just not sure it is making me enjoy it more. It just feels more arbitrary, especially with random teams who certainly aren't going to be locking down portions of the map or anything like that.

Footsteps are really easy to hear in this game

This may help. It's the Spartan company thread, people seem to be getting together there.

You can skip that certain fight. I made a vid of it. It's glorious.
Just need one more match of Strongholds and finish the co-op campaign to get 1000/1000. First Halo game since ODST/Reach where i wanted to do that.
Puts a few hours into the game Solo. Just got to Mission 7. Playing with Headphones is awesome. 
Overall I am enjoying it. Love the fact that most encounters are basically sandboxes and multiple options are given for how you approach things. Early on I did not use the Fireteam Commands but later on they are actually very useful.
Looking forward to finishing Solo, then hunting for Skulls. Then maybe some MP. Hopefully Forge is early December and not late.

seems you have a fair amount of experience so I would suggest you play the campaign. I was having a rough time as well before playing though the campaign.

I thought Germany had fast internet? Even 15 mb/s is in the slower tier here in America.

No worries, the dlc will fix that.
Wait, nevermind.
Oh. I hope they up the free map count.
Those do look cool in art form, but I want the maps to provide a greater play style variety with more unique art palettes.
FYI, this isn't working properly. When playing, my team and I stay in the same server and end up playing on the same maps and gametimes multiple times in a row.
It then often cycles to a new one, and then right back to whatever one we were stuck on.

Just open the party app/tab and start a party. :lol
Could you jump into your own party chat? Would that disable the in game mics?

I'm not a Halo veteran. How many pistol shots does it take before a melee hit will kill them in MP?

I've tried with 2 but that doesn't seem to work, so 3 maybe.
AR though I've seen people just run at you spraying then beat down like its halo reach.
