Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

ffs here I am, coming home after a shitty day happy to read some post of people discussing halo and all I see is that kind of shit.

why can't you all be nice to each other? we all die fast enough..sarcastic remarks won't help any discussion >.<
today is my birthday and a childhood friend died last night in an accident. so sorry if I'm a little emotional


Happy birthday, sorry for your loss and Ramirez is being sarcastic. It's just a game.
 
So I finished the game on heroic, and overall I gotta say I really enjoyed it.

Also wanna fix what I said earlier, the later half of the game requires you to pick up quite a few alien weapons, but it does make sense in the context of the situation. Normally the places you can't pick up human weapons are places it wouldent make much sense for human weapons to be laying around.

Now, on to the game.

All I can really say about it is, everything about Halo 5 makes me feel one way....

Halo 6 is gonna be the best in the series.
 
And even then mute all doesn't always work. My last few matches straight up ignored my mute-all button presses.
Same, dude was having a party and his Kinect was broadcasting everything. Muted him and it only helped periodically.

Also, if in warzone open up the player screen and look for the chat bubble where th speaker icon should be, that's the person talking.
 
Yesterday I had someone go like 0-14 and we still nearly won.. So frustrating.

Remember to communicate politely with them. A lot of people don't get swat. Say, "hey xxxx remember only head shots count, try hiding somewhere and taking pot shots till you get used to it."

Does not compute.
 
There are so many areas, maybe not structure or symmetry wise, that would serve as good settings for multiplayer maps. And I just don't understand why they didn't do this for launch. I get it we may have DLC but come on. We could have had a map in Sanghelios with desert atmosphere. Sunaion (I probably misspelled it) with the round purple rain look. Genesis, A guardian, anything. But all we get are boring human settings and midship remake.

You know, Im planig to replay the SP by myself, because I hardly remember anything, mean, because I was playing in co-op Legendary, and this game is unforgiving in that Dificulty, its scare me for that Legendary solo achievement. Does anyone have any tip for the Prometheans? I want to get those 100 points, but the AI isnt very bright to shoot at Enemies and there are parts that look impossible to do without help.
 
So Warzone is pretty bullshit unless you are in US right? Couldn't ever connect to one Match here in Brazil, I'm trying since the launch day, urgh.

Have them target closest enemies, if there's too many put them in a safe spot so they can revive you. Most important thing to do for solo legendary is patience, and save heavy weapons for bosses/hunters/wardens. And make sure p you look for those weapons. If there's a boss, there's powerful weapons close.
 
Two things I miss from the beta.

1. An actual lobby showing the teams of 4 and ranks. Wtf is this no name, just emblems shit? I get maybe they wanted to cut down on people quitting if they see a champion on the other team but they could have easily just hidden the enemy names as "Players found" and not show their rank until after the match.

2. Rank progression bar after a match. Seeing your CSR bar was really cool because you knew how close you were from ranking up to the next tier.

I know elites can be dealt with Noob comb, is there anything similar for Knights and the Promethean foot soldier?

Yeah I would like this info ingame aswell. Gameyplay besides the aiming issue is fine, I can mostly complain about stuff like this.
 
Competitive Halo is tough as shit. Keep trying. I wonder if you were placed in a wrong rank tier.

Who knows. I've been getting destroyed in both Warzone and Slayer. I've been playing it super safe now. If I cant get any kills, I might as well try and not get killed myself. But often I just get shot from behind or from far away almost instantly and its just the most frustrating thing.

The gameplay is still a lot of fun so I still want to keep playing. Just gotta keep at it I guess.

Practice in Warzone, get a feel for movement and the weapon/vehicle sandbox of the game. Try to stick with teammates and don't lone wolf it so you always have support. Focus on AI first, then gradually move to encountering other player. Once you get better, try out Team Slayer.

Yeah I think I'll stick with team mates more often going forward. Usually I start off that way and then eventually get separated. I gotta make more of an effort to stick with them. Just feels like I'm always a step or two behind my enemies.

As far as I can tell regular soldiers are bullet sponges. At least the marksman ones are easier to kill. Have your team focus on one soldier at a time. Don't have them attack a armor knight until you knock it's armor off and if any of those turrets/turret carrying soldiers spawn kill them asap those turrets melt everything.

Mmm... not really. Suppressor strips off the Soldier's armor pretty quickly, which is nice, but it's not noob combo tier. Knights you pretty much have to go through the weakpoint dance.

Once stuff like forge is here can we expect stuff like social playlists and action sack? I like team slayer but people take it far too seriously

Sooner than that, hopefully.

Social playlists will probably be weekend-only, and action sack would be a brilliant weekend playlist.

People never speak in game :'(

I wouldn't mind someone who is struggling if there were communicating and calling out but alas. Also, everyone in my games are Onyx so I hope they know to play haha. You never know, could someone potentially hide in a corner and get carried to Onyx?

if you want we can play sometime, I love swat and breakout >> just add me
 
I paid $10 thanks to that Microsoft store app promo. I guess that's worth it for campaign. I think this one is either getting sold or put on the shelf once blops3 and fallout 4 are out.

The typical "I was a Halo fan, until COD came out"

AKA, I got my ass handed to my in Halo so I left it to some casual game where I can at least get SOME kills. But hey thanks for the awesome impressions.
 
It's funny how you can just blow up the other Spartans when you're doing the tank section.

They are just driving around doing nothing on a mongoose so I blew them up.

They even ragdoll and go flying if you shoot their bodies.

Why did they add these dumb new characters? It's like master chief and his shitty friends.
 
If you play Arena and get matched me with i apologise. Theres no way i should be diamond and im getting dicked every game. The fact i cant drop down tier is kinda ruining the experience for me a bit.

Really? I've met a lot people talking.

So far

I've met a black Jesus that enjoys shitting on little kids.

Snoop dog.

Someone who was in the background murdering someone.

Guy who offered us the splendid opportunity to suck his dick.

Guy who gave callouts but in the form of jelly bean colours.

That's just in the last 24 hours.

Nah my favorites are cs:go and battlefield 4.

I do have about equal fun with halo/cod usually but cod has better gunplay and maps.

Uh, how is having players found different than just showing emblems? both do the same exact thing of letting you know people have been found for the match.

As for the progression, I agree we need an in-game progression system. Waypoint is cool and all, but we shouldn't have to go there.

LOL.. I cant even..

That's a great attitude to have with people trying to get into the series, all it will do is drive people away
 
I want the ability to multi-queue for playlists, this is not an issue now since the game is new and you can always find a game but this will give the game legs once the honeymoon period is over.

Sure, what's your GT? I might have you added already you never know.

Those are some mighty splendid opportunities. Jelly bean callouts sound amazing.

I have a constant itch to play Halo atm its Cray Cray. Yesterday I had a bad run of games and wanted to stop playing but the itch was still there. Damnit Stinkles what've you done to me D:

send you a message on xbl :D

Some people are very hostile and toxic here for no reason.
Cmon.


I wonder if we'll see Firefight again. Loved that mode in ODST.
yes, it makes me sad.

nothing is more relaxing for me as firefight. give me wave after wave of enemies and 3 people to play with. no pressure, just fun shooting. awesome <3

You would be able to see your teammates and their ranks and it would look way better than the current shit we have now.

I mean the beta lobby was pretty fucking barebones but it got the job done.

I realize I'm not very positive on the game but I am trying to give reasons for that.

All I get back is "lol cod newb u must be shit at the game"

Did you read his post? The dude already made up his mind.

I am not here to convince people into liking this game.

You don't like the game, return/sell/refund your game.

You are saying the gunplay and maps suck. Which is not really true at all, because the gunplay in this game is the best it has been. Maps, sure, you may not like the maps, but COD maps are really not that better, so not sure why you made that comparison. This is an arena shooter. COD is not. If you treat this as a normal shooter you will get disheartened because you will not do as well as you hoped. And yes a big majority of an enjoyment of a game or liking of a game comes from the fact that you are decent to good at it.
