Was wondering same thing, and Blue ninja and Sik had similar comments. I can only imagine it was the
kraken fight
the whole helping Arbiter during the civil war storyline was pretty good. Pretty sure he's gonna be integral to fighting Cortana and the AI since they don't use AI.
I used a warzone boost for the first time last night and my team's core got destroyed before the halfway mark. I've never been in a game that ended that fast or that the core got destroyed. I quit for the night after that.
Those were okay, I guess, but there wasn't much that generated a big reaction from me. The last mission was very enjoyable, and maybe that part where you
climb down the guardian with the magnetic boots.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
Yeah, power weapons and power ups have absolutely no place in this mode -- and I haven't played it that much yet but if there are still grenades to pick up then that should go too. You should only have your SMG/pistol with the BRs being the power weapons and your two grenades. The flag was a great addition though.

That feeling when you go 18 and 7 in a swatnums match, get two sprees, and a topgun medal.
And it was against a team that beat us 50 to 26 the match before.
Natural high right now.

I think Power Weapons do have their place but it has to be done well. I am hoping Forge lets use do Timed Spawns of Power Weapons in order to prevent deadlocks etc. I do wonder if you can have it spawn during a match if one team is wiping the floor with another.
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.
two weeks? it came out 3 days ago. bastard.
the flag is such an awesome addition. also, i love it when terrible players grab it right at the start of a 4v4. really?

Can't connect to the lobby service at all.
Means no Arena, Warzone or custom games. No coop either.
Both Xbox Settings tests say my connection is fine, NAT is open.
Frustrating way to kick off my Friday night.

Note to self. Quit grabbing flag at the beginning of the match.
I kid. I die way to fast to grab the flag

100% Unless someone dies and they didnt use their grendade... then i should be able to pick theirs up along with whatever weapon they had. But other than that... take it out 343i! Please!

I feel the opposite, that powerups like the Cloak have a place but the power weapons do not.
Especially the Hydra. Frankles, pls.
Overall, I'd like to see it with just pistols and maybe an SMG or two as on-map pickups.
Maybe they will do Magnum Breakout. Actually, Just give me Infinite Ammo Needler Breakout.

Commmmooon req packs give me the God damn DMR or a long shot BR. Req packs are not very generous with the starting weapons to me
I cant find one either. Wasnt sure one existed till someone on the enemy team was wrecking everyone from untouchable distance with some DMR variant.

That feel when you join a match in progress (warzone) and get streamrolled before you can work out whats going on.

And id also love a Pistol only Breakout mode. Hell, even no grendades... just complete pistol-athon!

Infinite Ammo, Infinite Clipsize Needler Breakout. Start pulling the right trigger on spawn and NEVER STOP.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
I'm really enjoying the campaign. The encounters are great - just so many things to shoot! And the gunplay and mobility is just awesome. Pretty much all the Halo games, despite me loving them, had loads of encounters that felt more like something I had to do to to progress, rather than being fun. This is completely the opposite - I love the fights!
But wow....she really isn't a looker, is she? I thought some of the comments about the graphics were hyperbolic, and I honestly believed that it might have looked worse watching it than playing it when your attention is elsewhere, but there are some areas where I really can't fathom why it looks so bad. The outdoor areas were just awful on Reunion in some places, where stuff that wasn't very far away was so pixelated I thought it was a bug. Instead it was the LoD in effect and looked OK when I got up close. The biggest issue was that there wasn't any combat at the time, so it really did stand out.
I'm going to catch a lot of flak now, but my brain can't fathom how a first party title, 2 years into the generation, can look like that when we had something with the IQ of Ryse at launch. I know, I know, it's not straight forward to compare. But it is a bit disappointing.
Don't get me wrong, though, I'm loving the game. Just really wish it was a bit prettier.

The ones off the top of my head which I thought were awesome
- climbing up the broken scaffolding as this giant Guardian starts rising in front of you
- any level on Genesis, I felt the same sense of wonder and mystery as I did back on the original Halo,
- running down the Guardian was spectacular. I want to run down the side of more things now in Halo.Another Guardian, a skyscraper in a city level... ANYTHING
- any time the epic soundtrack kicks in. They did such a better job with the mix then 4
- cut scene wise the Locke/Chief fight was pretty good, though watching it at 1.25 speed on youtube makes me wish they moved faster

That sequence blew my mind. I don't know if I've ever been so God damn pumped in a Halo game. It just felt SOOOOO cool.

Random Tip #1: If you don't want to hang in the air for 3 seconds after using a lift, just clamber.

Of course I know that. Apparently my pre-empting this sort of response wasn't enough! It obviously isn't a good comparison, but it's like my head knows why but my heart can't help but wonder why Halo 5 doesn't look better.
It does look great in general, but there are areas that really really don't.
My hunt for the Anubis has brought me to dark places.
yikes :-/
What's so surprising? Twitch is primarily utilized by PC gamers... Halo is an Xbox exclusive.

Yeah there are a TON of crouch jumps. Then there are jumps that required timed usage of sprint/boost/zoom/clamber... It's pretty cool stuff and will take me forever to get the hang of...

If you Press UP on the D-Pad to give them directions, do they follow it or not?
I found out that they do follow those commands if it involves targeting and enemy, picking up weapons or very slowly moving to the place I want them to go.
That's true. If i target an enemy for them, they will go after them. But it would be nice if they went on their own against these baddies sometime.
