That the online is great? Yeah I agree.
Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

Yeah, trance told me. It's so weird.
At least I got to diamond 2 in team arena, so all is right in the world now.
So I've had about two days to digest the campaign.
Loved it.
The first half is disjointed and confused as fuck but it really picks up and I'm beyond excited to see where halo 6 goes.
It's such a chilling premise and setup now. And that legendary ending.... My god.
Level design was immaculate, the ONLY complaint id have is nothing felt as epic as the dual scarab fight.
If they took their design philosophy and increased the scope so that it plays the same way on some missions but with vehicles, it could be better level design than halo 3s immaculate vehicle levels (ark, tsavo, covenant).

I feel the same way.
Agree completely. As soon as you come up against a party it's just horrible.

Exactly this
Was a lot of fun man!
Still need one?I'm not great though...
I left off on Reunion the other day, where the campaign started to get not only better graphically, but better gameplay and pacing wise too (maybe I just prefer fighting against Covenant), but in any case, from that point on it's been superb!
Reunion and Sanghelios have beautiful art direction, very well designed levels that are fairly open, and have a lot of nooks and crannies and strategic elements to them, and then there's the flow of play, which has nice bouts of calm and exposition, built up with smaller combat scenario's, ending with epic full scale battle's. The whole Reunion and Sanghelios missions are just great imo. I hope the quality keeps up. Though I wasn't too keen on the Kraken battle. Bit of a lost opportunity, though no doubt hardware and budget limited. Would have been awesome fighting it as it was crawling and walking through the canyons, but it being stationary just made things a bit blander. Still, that's the only segment in this row of missions that I thought wasn't really well executed.

no worries... me either... but still loving this.
There is actually no satisfying answer for that. The cutscene is supposed to be intense and emotional so they made it that way without thinking about the difference between them.
At least that is my conclusion
That's more like it. That's what I thought.
Appreciate the answer

How do I get good in arena?

Speaking of sound design, someone please explain the BR to me. Three shot burst, but I only ever hear two. The burst is so quick too, no space between shots.
This game needs some social playlists. Not every playlist can be ranked, because then there will be a divide amongst friends (i.e. i'm diamond, so i can't play with you because you'll make me lose since you're silver).
And you can only play war zone so much before you just want to do some 4v4 social slayer with friends.

You seemed angry that Chief got punched in the face. He is not immune to being punched in the face, especially from a well trained dude in power armor. As the other guy said, once Chief's visor cracked, playtime ended.

Anyone wanna team up for some MM?
like you paraphrased my "lore" answer. chief does not want to hurt a spartan, because we need every single one to fight. but
you punch him in the face? you crack is helmet? play time is fucking over dude.
How do we know it is really you and not the murderer?
we need proof.
Team Arena Mercenary would be my go to

I am convinced something is broken with the aiming. It just doesn't feel right and it's near impossible to move the reticle with any kind of precision.
Never had this problem in any other Halo or in the Halo 5 beta itself. I'm not sure what's going on but something is definitely messed up.

Social Slayer is always so much fun. Stress free Halo.
Same here. I don't want to always play FFA.
velocity was changed it seems.

Too lazy to figure out how to boot up my preview dash. Anyone use it here? Is it faster than the current one?
Getting tired of windowception.
Getting tired of windowception.
Faster sure, but I kinda like the old one. Just installed mines last night so will need to play around today for a full review.
I'm only up to stage 8 but the campaign has been really good so far.
Also, managed to obtain an Onyx rank in free-for-all yesterday. I'm really not sure how since I did pretty terrible except for my first game where I went 25-8. The rest of the games I didn't do nearly as well, even placed last in a couple of them.

We haven't played in almost a year. Let's get together this evening. I'm typically on after 9pm central. We are already on each other's FL.
I'll try. It's my day off but have to go in because someone's kid got sick.
yup. Sometimes across map it just floats around. But then I'll be aiming at someone and a hog will run in front of me and it'll follow the hog.
No..It's not that at all. I understand what you are saying about the armor and all. But giving what we know about him , What he have been through. How he trained. I think it's shouldn't be done.
When the whole universe. Covenants. Brutes. Flood could not do it. How could Locke?
The guy was a soldier since Childhood. Reach animated serie gave some insight in what he could do.
But I guess it's just another moment's in a game we can't discuss. Like how he is shorter now.

Okay no way this is skill based match making. The people I am coming up with are way too shit. I'm in Diamond 3 and just lost a game 44-13 and I had 9/13 kills. It's extremely frustrating and ruining my online experience.

I don't know about you, but Chief got shot, punched, charged, and grenaded a whole lot when I played through these games.

smh at Breakout being in Team Arena when it already has a dedicated playlist, while CTF and Strongholds don't and are put alongside Slayer.

Breakout is a lot of fun, but I don't think it should be in arena. The only problem is there's not enough game modes in arena if it's taken out.
This game needs more gametypes in general
Wait, you don't like being in someone's Killtacular montage?
Yeah game definitely needs social arena playlists. Warzone just isn't doing it for me as expected.
Just want to dong with some folks and not care about anyone dragging the team down.

Yeah I really don't get it. If feels super bad when scoped in. Im still struggling to track targets.
Hey Zoba, PM your GT. I'd like to play some matches with you sometime =P

After unlocking a cert, for example the BR, it shows up under my options when that level is available. That isn't unlimited though right? You still need the common card as a consumable?

Wow mission 8 was such a blast. It feels like the campaign is starting to hit its stride.
