I hope that's the case, It's more of just people seeing 343 actions in the past and being hopefully that they will be better but it's a see it when they believe it.

Why does the game go through a loading screen and hop back to the title screen when I got to back out of a post-gamr lobby? Kind of annoying to go through a loading screen every time I wanna change playlists.

You can keep trying to find people to play with on Gaf if you want. It can take some effort, but you can find some cool people.
I'd be down to play with you if you'd like. Gt: ShadowsFell

BULL! I can prove who you are by proving who I am thus proving who you are.
Plus your gamertag brah.
I'm thinking of waiting a couple of months before considering buying Xbone and the game. I'm excited, but after reading this thread for a couple of days, I don't think getting the game is worth it yet. I need BTB at the very least.
Does anyone have a clean audio file of this cool song? -Minor Skull spoiler-

I did, but I played before release date. Unlocked the day the patch went live. Really odd that you guys haven't gotten anything yet.

Wait what? theirs special armor and helmet for playing before the 7th?!
This and not being able to cancel the countdown once you start a campaign mission or custom games is questionable.

It appears to be a SMG.

Are you guys in the US though? I had trouble playing with some US friends due to latency not starting matchmaking. Not sure if it was a problem on their end, mine or due to the ping limit that's in place. My GT is Collateral Cat anyways, I'll add you two.
The weapon is indeed the SMG.
Whoa thats pretty cool, ive yet to get mine.
I also pre-ordered the Digital Copy (Just base game, not a collector edition thing) on the XBL Store and im not quite sure i got anything from doing so, yet.
Was i supposed to get something special?

I don't like the look. When I equip it on my Spartan it looks like he has a yellow beard.
WHERE IS MAH NOBLE HELMUT, 343

Yes, in the US. As a xenophobic, red blooded American, I just assume everyone on GAF is from the US.
Weapon skin and vehicle for warzone afaik
Couple of initial impressions from Halo 5 MP:
- Weapon balance is on point and they've made every weapon I've handled feel like it has a place. Promethean weapons are no longer throwaway and mid-range combat has an actual place with varied weapon sets and tactics. It's good to see the game isn't BRs or bust, good job on that 343. =)
- Clambering is awesome and brings an entirely new skillset to close-quarters combat. I can never imagine Halo without it again and the idea of classic map remakes makes me wonder how they would have to be reworked with this new awesome feature.
- REQ cards are fun and are something to do between games. However, I wish they would allow you to delete more than 1 card at a time. Also, I wish we could move preferred loadouts to the first page of the REQ menu. If I have the ability to spawn with a bolt pistol, I'd like to be able to select it immediately instead of scrolling through menus.
- Warzone. I don't know what to say about this one, but it hasn't won me over yet. I find the maps to be too big and the engagements to be boring over all. I feel like in theory, the design of Warzone should work. You unlock new weapons, you save your cards, and then you'll use them at the end of the game.
However, it doesn't feel like it works out that way and the flow of the game takes a hit due to the long respawn time and time it takes to return to battle. I also feel like there's too much of a stalemate at the end of Warzone, with the assaulting team (naturally) having the odds stacked against them.
A few points I would think help keep the flow going are:
- Allow me to spawn on my fireteam buddies if they're in a relatively save zone.
- Make my fireteam distinct in the world and on my map. Not being able to find my party in a game of Warzone makes it a bit pointless to be in a fireteam with them.
- Smaller maps. It feels like there's way too much walking in the game, making it feel boring.
- Bring focus to the game. I'd be interested to see a version of Warzone where a team has to bring a bomb into a base and arm it. It could create further points of interest for the game and allow surprise comebacks.
I haven't played too much SP so can't really speak to it. I did try about 15 minutes of the first level on solo and came away unimpressed. I feel like the opening cinematic was a pacing mistake, as it made Osiris team look like the galaxy's biggest group of badasses, only to find out they're the most brain dead group of soldiers you could imagine on the battlefield. Disappointed by what I saw in the AI, but hopefully my opinion will change.

Game really needs a 'Spartan Company'-tab in the roster. Would be so convenient.
Elzar and I are going Warzone as well, JOIN US
EDIT: Sorry 'bout that, Elzar apparently has a big group already lined up.

I bet MS really regrets naming
their Siri-like software Cortana and having Jen Taylor do the voice. What a misfire by 343 in terms of universe and character impact, in my opinion. Hey guys, let's just name our friendly and helpful software Cortana, someone who's going to be some kind of evil galactic dictator ruling through force and just killed tons of people. Might as well have just called it Skynet and then ask people to trust it lol
Only packs i got is for ranking up D:

Sorry guys, I had to boot you for now, we may have too many people, and spaces have been reserved.
Okay to invite you guys as soon as I know how many people will turn up?
Apologies again.

Elzar plz, get on your mic. Shit's lonely out here.
Bummer, i assume there is no way we can fix this.
It even tells me my Pre-Order add-on is installed, yet nothing.
No worries, sounds like one hell of a fire team!

That's pretty cool. 7th of November?
There's a way to skip it if you're interested.
Please
If I'm not taking anybodies spot that sounds great.
If you play halo 5 before 7th of November you should get it/already have It

This game could use a few fixes and additions, and they are pretty self explanatory:
General:
-Fix the aiming.
-Ability to sell multiple REQ's at same time.
-Fix the qualifying system, it's broken.
-Matchmaking is broken, Silvers VS Platinums should not happen.
-Spartan Company integration. Seriously, what's the point if it's not in-game.
Warzone:
-Fireteam members should show up as green on radar as well as their service tags (BF4).
-Friendly Marines, AI should show up as different color (Titanfall).
-Capturing bases and holding them should mean something.( More points while 2 bases capped).
-Lower points from AI Legendary kills to 100-75 and randomize spawns for them.

Will this game repeat Halo3's player retention? No but it will do just fine. They are in a much better place now than at H4 launch because the base game MP is actually very well received...
Come, December, there will be your usual exodus for other titles, but given H5's quality, there will be plenty of people who actually prefer Halo's gameplay and sustainment model over the competition.
There will also be an influx of gamers who didn't start at launch, who will be walking into a game just as it receives a nice boost in content.
I'm not worried.
That's the problem a lot of us have :/! Hope to hear something about it soon
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling my pre-order addon. No success.
Also no Teishin Raikou armor.
Seems like a common issue thanks to google.
I hope they fix this.

As someone who is now replaying the game solo on legendary i would love to know this and every other skips you might know of.
Also, did anyone get their $24.99 warzone thing that was included with the CE edition and i think digital deluxe or whatever? Supposed to net you like 14 packs and i got none.
