Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

Disagree, not with the 'ability' of the population in this game and the randomness of warzone.

Timing it perfectly depends on a whole lot of situations.

Damage output is still more fair in most circumstances.

It rewards teamwork.

Have Legendary bosses show up slightly more often, but be worth less points. Feels less like the other team stole a lot of points from you, and still keeps the flow of the game.

I was watching a match of yours yesterday. You guys were fairly even with the other team, but when you killed the boss, your points doubled. The match was never close after that point.

Tonight I'm finally gonna play MP after finishing the game on legendary last night. After thinking about it. I'd rank the campaign right after Reach and before ODST. For me the games go

Reach, 5, ODST, CE, 2, 4 and 3.

I really like how people have very different ideas about which campaigns are good :)
 
Gotta say, the amount of 343 hate from people who haven't played Halo 5 yet on Gaf and other forums is so annoying. Sure, I wasn't a fan of Halo 4's multiplayer at all, but this... This game is damn good.

I said it before, but Chief has become such an important/high/powerful character I'd rather not play as him anymore or just rarely. So it fits that what I like are games where this occurs.



All of that said, I really feel cheated with the fall of reach animated short. It's 2-3 acts way too short and never actually gets to the fall of reach which is pretty fucking stupid.

Is there a thread already mentioning "We in X part of the world can't access Warzone since launch"? The issues are real and not many websites care to say something about it.

I posted earlier about that and there is a big thread on Halo Waypoint. Maybe I should create a thread here if this is not fixed soon.
 
Doamond 1 for Team Slayer is crushing my will to play this mode. I am not good at Halo, but somehow got into this tier of players.
 
Is ranking determined by wins or match stats? I feel like I'm consistently paired up with bad players on my team but almost always go positive even if I lose (which is most of the time).

I'm in Gold I for Arena, Platinum I in Slayer and Diamond 1 in SWAT.

Why is that? just watched it yesterday, it kinda stays true to the source material and the story is nicely packed together (book-> screen is always meh though). I do however agree the visuals could be better.

Because the narrative is poorly told. I've never read the book so this is all relatively new to me. I know nothing about the specifics of the universe, why Halsey needs children, how they get away with just stealing children, why these kids aren't responding like any other child would under these circumstances. They don't really get into the science of what they're doing to them. It's just so simple. It's just characters speaking in generic sci-fi terms. None of the relationships feel real, none of the characters feel real. They do a terrible job at explaining the universe, the writing is awful (is there even a credited writer on the show?) and the performances and animation are worse! I hate that people let them get away with such poor storytelling. How the hell is the industry supposed to grow and improve?

I sat through that entire first episode, mouth agape. Couldn't believe how bad it was. It's worse than NIGHTFALL.

Surprising no one here...

It seems the most consistent complaint with 343 is how they handle the fiction of the halo universe.

They have no business producing content outside their wheelhouse (ie games) when they can't even get their own house in order.

I was hoping they would be better than Bungie on this front, but they're just as bad. I imagine they care about this stuff, but they're just not hiring the right people to handle the narrative elements.

Placement matches look at individual performance and W/L. After you're placed, it's all W/L.
 
Well, it's been a long time since I wanted to do this for a videogame.

Took me two weeks. Some were challenging, but the lack of bullshit MP achievements really helped.

I'm unfortunately still at work (will be for another 5 hours lol) but i'm always looking for other people to play with for Arena. Feel free to add me to your FL if you'd like...

Same goes to anyone else who plays more Arena than Warzone. Not a big Warzone fan unless it was a full party of 12 Gaffers :P
 
I just don't get it. The past 6 or so losses in a row in Warzone have been because my team keeps hunkering down in one fucking spot. I don't get it. Why? Why the fuck would anyone think that'd win us the match? My whole team was literally just holed on West point and it's not like the other team was particularly aggressive my team just wasn't doing jack shit. They kept trying to take Spire when we could have easily had three or so people spawn at base and retake our East point, but nope. It was constantly me recapping East, pushing Spire only to get jumped and letting the other team recap east with no resistance but myself. Finished the match with 1400 some points while the rest of my team was hovering at around 200-300. :/

Is it just me, or do the new Halos lack the charm of the originals? Everything's all gloom and doom in 4 and 5, but the original 5 games had intentionally cheesy dialogue, silly easter eggs, and a much lighter tone. Here, it's serious business all the time, which is boring. It doesn't help that the story doesn't seem to make any sense so far and nothing has been explained, which was one of my big complaints with 4.

I agree with you on 4 but 5 feels like it's back on track. The grunt chatter lightens things up a lot, there's some humor between the members of Osiris, and the story is much easier to follow and requires less outside knowledge than Halo 4's did. (At least so far, I'm on mission 10 I think.)
 
Trying to play Arena

CONNECTION LOST
You have been disconnected from the local network.

But I'm on Live and connected.

Was in for 2 seconds..someone had a MSDOS title, hah.

Do more things get filled in as the story continues? I'm on the second Chief mission and I'm still totally lost. I can't get invested in the story because I have no idea what the hell is going on.

Yep the concern trolling has gone to crazy levels...always

The aiming thread is a completely relevant topic to have. myself and others seem to have an big issue with it and I am not convinced it's not bugged in some way.

How bout the people that have played Halo 5 and have concerns about it? It seems like you and others automatically think people are shitting on 343 just to do it. I want the game to succeed and keep a high population but there are definitely concerns they need to fix.
 
It's a little thing, but one of the chapter names made me laugh.

The level where the monitor spawns you a tank is titled 'Call me Cupid'

That was always one of my favourite lines from Halo 2. I miss Johnson :(

What? I heard silly dialogue all throughout my play through. Walk around one of the two non-combat levels and listen to NPC conversation.

Buck is kind of a replacement but they need to make him a main character, hopefully they do that for 6

just use the chief, Locke and buck. all you need.
 
They have to do something about these quitters it's fucking ridiculous.

4 games in a row I've had someone quit after 1 death.

Even had them message me back saying "haha im in another game anyway :)"

I'm not talking about them?

I'm talking about people who have literally said "I haven't played Halo 5 yet but 343 has really ruined this franchise." Which is a sentiment I've seen more than a couple of times.
