Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

Holy shit! lol i've never seen that happen hahahaha!

Where is this from... this cannot be a US server... ive never seen anything close to this bad lol

my buddy and i, who are both in california, last night around 9-10pm pst. he said he was laggy all night, especially in breakout for some reason.
 
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.

Yeah, some things do. I don't really think the story is hard to follow at that point though. What exactly is confusing you?

The big beats up to that point are:

-Oisris Brings in Halsey because she has information on Promethian Attacks on Colonies.
-On a routine mission with Blue Team, Chief has a vision of Cortana saying "Meridian is next" They go AWOL to find her.
-Osiris is tasked with going to Meridian to bring in Blueteam. Wherein they get roped into defending the colony against one of the aforementioned Promethian Attacks. They eventually track Blue Team to a Forerunner structure where a Warden says that he serves Cortana, they kill the Warden and run into Blue Team, who escape via a Guardian to some unknown planet. Which is where you are now.
 
Am I seeing this right? There are only 8 actual unique asset maps in the arena?

  1. Coliseum
  2. Eden
  3. Empire
  4. Fathom
  5. Plaza
  6. Regret
  7. The Rig
  8. Truth

The rest of the maps are Forge creations?
  1. Pegasus
  2. Altitude
  3. Gambol
  4. Trident
  5. Orion
  6. Crossfire (Breakout only?)
  7. Trench (Breakout only?)

It seems 343 designed this from the ground up to get back into the esports scene they fell out from. I don't feel like there is any sense of discovery in these. I am really disappointed here. Some of my best memories of Halo were in learning the new maps with each release and/or map pack. That feeling is simply not there with these lot. And Warzone is not up my alley at all.

It feels like there is no style or personal touch to the maps. They are designed as if by an algorithm, not by fans of this series.

I want to like this game.

Hopefully some of the best of forge user creations gets thrown into the arena...

I agree the maps feel a bit limited right now, but isn't it true that 343 is going to add 15 more maps for free by June?
 
Just finished it. Holy shit the second half of the game is so much better.
They should have just scrapped missions 1-6 honestly. Mission 7, Sanghelios and onwards are so fucking good in comparison.
It redeemed itself storyise by the end, I think. Also, those cinematics look so fucking good. Maybe Halo on the next Xbox will look like that.
 
Yes, I fully unload an smg on someone and they walk through and flick me. These games make me rage when I can't make sense of what's going on.

When you first hear about many maps Halo 5 has it sounds impressive until you realize that includes the Warzone, remixes, forge and breakout maps. Then you realize that there really isn't that many maps and you'll be playing the same 4-5 maps over and over if you play Slayer.

I really hope the DLC maps don't include new forge and breakout maps or that free 16 DLC maps plan will start seeming a lot less exciting.

I feel like I'm not in on the joke here. Care to elaborate?

You're not allowed to criticize a game because if you do then you're just a troll.
 
Is Diamond 1 good or am I still a pleb?

The way I see it

0 - 9 | Bronze
10 - 19 | Silver
20 - 29 | Gold
30 - 39 | Platinum
40 - 49 | Diamond
50 | Onyx
Semi Pro/1% | Champion

Maybe the next xbox will have Toy Story graphix.

I mean is it really even hard to rank at Onyx? Is intial placement based on individual skill? I lost like 3-4 of my placement rounds and still got Onyx
 
Just had my fifth (at least) lost connection in a day or so. Additionally, I'm sometimes getting this teleporting lag. Both of these things almost never happen to me in any game, so this is bizarre.

Edit: after discussing it with a roommate, they may have been disconnecting the Internet several times over the past day, so that may be why the disconnects have occurred. Teleporting lag is still weird though.
 
I just find it crazy that outside of Warzone there isn't a single map with vehicles on it. The existing maps are good, but they're all a bit po-faced, esports satisfying affairs with no real character to them. The game needs a couple of Blood Gulch/Zanzibar/Valhalla type maps for goofing around a bit in.
 
Look at a weapon and press up the the dpad.

Speaking of, is there a way to tell your squad which weapons to use? I like micro-managing ny team, like the AI marines in the past games, but they all seem to ignore the power weapons they're carrying and just use sidearms instead.
 
I don't see where this improved AI is. The majority of the time the AI walks in front of me while I'm shooting enemies and then they yell "FRIENDLY FIRE" at me. That's just one example, but I fail to see where that huge improvement is.
 
Really liking the variants in Warzone. The mode is infinitely better than Invasion or Dominion. I wish there were more maps at launch.

for the most part the seem as (in)effective as ever, but i must say i was pleasantly surprised when i had a passenger in the hog jump out on their own to take an available ghost. i thought that was pretty awesome at least.
 
If I can hit someone with the AR and count to 3 and melee them, shouldn't they die? Because it feels like 2 seconds of AR from them and I'm toast.
