Do you get any kind of special armor for multiplayer if you beat the game on legendary?

Ok because this keeps happening to me on Breakout and that thing has great range.

No, not even for beating it solo legendary which is kinda bullshit. At least you got helioskrill for beating MCC on legendary though.
That said, the achievement picture/background picture for "lone wolf" is bad ass.
The AI serve mostly as early objectives so you can't clear bases uncontested, and from then thereafter secondary objectives you can secure to swing a game back in your favor, or Marine AI who can fuck up the unprepared guy who saunters into your base, basically. It's not heavy on AI because the focus is still on contesting bases with real people.

Makes it all the more funny when they highlighted the AI in the sprint episodes, "the musketeers" etc.
I am still surprised there isn't more of a backlash against the frame issues. I mean, the game doesn't look THAT good, and I was perfectly fine with most of the graphical cuts for 60fps. But when that 60fps turns to 15fps after five meters, that's just too insane on top of everything else. Why does it kick in on a single grunt, 5 meters away from me in an otherwise empty room? It's just awkward.

I know.
that's still pretty crazy, though. It took me a week just to find all the data pads, I had to make my own guide. ViciousSubtlety

If you are able to see it coming, couple shots to the body and a melee right as they connect.
The melee magnetism will throw you towards them and will kill [if you landed enough shots] before they have a chance to raise their weapon. Not an ideal scenario, but it'll win you the trade.

Incredible comeback.

I'll even thrust back or jump sometimes. Thrusting back... if they start the charge far enough away mind you... will allow you to fire as you do so riddling them with bullets. They usually die right after the charge... esp if you're rocking an smg.
Or, jump, turn 180 and assassinate their linebacker asses ;P
A) It's 30fps, not 60, and I can't think of a time when I've ever noticed it. So clearly they were comfortable with making the decision since not everyone was going to be bothered by it and it brought performance benefits.

Don't see why this is surprising. The game just came out so anyne who would be watching would be playing. Beyond that, Halo has been down in the dumps for a while and many of the top streamers are just good players, not good personalities. Combine that with the fact that (IMO) Halo 5 really isn't interesting to watch right now with its limited gametypes and map pool.

it is true, but I think getting Diamond and Onyx are just as easy as getting something like a 48.

You get 10 or so AI at the start of the match you need to kill, then you get random mini bosses every few minutes around the map in set locations, that's about it unless i'm missing something.

I reckon the boss's should have a separate energy bar for each team.
Each team can only see their energy bar and whoever gets theirs down first gets the kill.

Love the 3rd shot.
I will admit to having low standards but the game looks good to me. I'm really happy with what they pulled off at 60fps. *shrug*

Whoa... how did i not realize those grunts actually had exposed human faces!? lol I would have never known... i thought they had full faced helmets haha.

The frame issues are most definitely not 30fps, the jitter is really awkward. It's not even smooth (30fps can still be smooth) it just cuts frames. In campaign it becomes painfully obvious on shield, hit animations etc.
And ignorance is bliss I guess, I am not a graphic enthusiast by any means but I noticed it straight away. As I said, couldn't give a fuck about the other cuts but this one thing just bothers me too much.

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.
Makes me want to do that, too. What were the most difficult achievements for you?
Probably stuff like "finish mission xy without your team dying on legendary"
The game can look great at times. No doubt.
Definitely why they're such a satisfying 1 shot
Sometimes they are the strongest enemy though...

Some has anyone found a quick way to strip the armor from a promethian soldier? Not the Knights, hue regular soldiers.

The flag's there so people can't hide and to allow (very sneaky) players comeback opportunities.

Finding the skulls and audio logs took me the longest, but there were no guides available at the time. All the rest were very doable.
That one was relatively easy, with the cheese.

Wow, I played through the entire game on Legendary solo (18 hours of gameplay time) and I didn't know this existed. Every Spartan was rocking their default weapons the whole time.
yikes :-/
Console games (except for Destiny) have always done badly on Twitch. They'll be high up for a week or two then they'll drop once all the big streamers go back to their regular games. The Halo section only has one popular streamer and Ninja really doesn't get many viewers while the other games have some of the most popular streamers on twitch.

It's mainly the assault rifles. Idk why.
It basically makes them either target enemies, go to a spot, board a vehicle or swap out a weapon. The enemy target is useful to draw enemies away from you while you flank.

Game does sound good but I agree with this.
Should take a leaf out of battlefields book.
Halo is a console exclusive, so is expected to have less player either way. But, when I checked on Wednesday night, the game was number one played in XBOX one.

I think the flag was the best addition to retail-breakout. Keeps those "hiders" from simply running away from the other team the entire match. It's also a nice change of pace to sometimes rush right for the flag... pass it off or drop it completely and pull the enemy team out of their "spots" into the open. It brings some interesting tactics to the mode. Really enjoy it.
Now... powerups (invis i'm talking to you!) and power weapons have no place in Breakout IHMO. Theres a fucking Hydra in the one map!?!? I got smoked by it b/c i jumped out and thought id pop the guy with my pistol... BOOM. My entire team went "WTF just happened... theres a Hydra in Breakout!?"
That shit needs to go back to normal Arena. Stat!
There are few feelings as good as managing to score the flag when you're down 3-1. It makes for some really epic Halo.

You're an inspiration, sir. I'm currently going through the Legendary campaign solo myself.

I still havent done a solo capture... been keeping out of Breakout for the most part until i can find/put together a solid team of guys who actually want to play for more than 3 matches in a row lol.

Agreed! It evokes Doom's cover, to me, but is also so high up on the scale of its own badassery. It got turned into my dashboard wallpaper immediately.
Yeah, I knew about the UP command on every possible item except weapons. I don't know why I never put two-and-two together, as in hindsight it makes so much sense. There were even times I remember wishing my squad had more powerful weapons. Haha!
Dont forget Trials just started for Destiny. So that number is at the moment abit high. Same with last week Hard mode release. When i went over 100.000. Most of the time its sits arround 9.000 depends if Gothalion is online.
