Also make the AI less brain-dead in warzone (and campaign) I hate how they troll you by shooting at ceilings/walls/dead bodies etc.

Do it like COD. Lobby is kept (players who want to leave do so) but teams are balanced for the next game. Dunno if it's based on stats or previous match, but it seems to work. Been playing blops2 again and often experience damn close matches
As it is now, disintegrating the lobby upon completion of matches sucks. It just doesn't feel as social as a mp game should be, not to mention you'll often play the same map several times in a row due to this, and also ends up being a waste of time because you sometimes end up with the same people anyway.

Yesterday I played 3 - 4 team slayer games where much the same randoms were in it.
Yeah, they dropped the ball on the social aspects ... give me a way fliter my friends list for members of my spartan company. Also, there should be a way to signal/set that you are open to invites that people can see on the friends list.
I invited you. WRC Evo X

Just luck of the draw. I didn't get one until probably my fifteenth+ pack and even after opening a ton more I still only have 2.

I think I've found something that is going to make playing ranked with randoms painful... So now that I'm onyx I find myself going in with a lot less ambition
I mean who cares if I lose, I'm not going down right?
The problem is - if I was diamond and trying to rank up - the guy who is onyx on my team treating it like social is kind of ruining it for me
Don't get me wrong - I don't plan to do trash because I'm onyx - but now that I have nothing on the line im taking more risks and generally putting in less effort than I did during my games to get there
If I play with friends I still try my hardest as I want them to get onyx - but when going in solo I just want to play team slayer but not so fussed about w/l - again I still play well but I imagine Others will just mess about eventually due to a lack of social to muck about in

Makes Jul look b-tier, threat is kinda discarded.
It's a similar problem with the opening, Osiris's Avengers cutscene, it paints the Covenant as so disposable, what feels like a whole brigade tossed about like they're papercraft.
It's an interesting point to discuss, because it while bringing the numbers of dead closure to what the gameplay has always been, it continues to move away from the previous lore of a single Elite being a serious threat for a Spartan.

I'm just curious what happened with this game for it to be so unfinished. i am surprised people are not more up in arms over what is actually here in content.
Team Doubles
BTB
Ball and etc (we all know what is missing) but why is it missing...
I don't like to hear it's coming, the game is out now after all
Coliseum is just to spread out and the mid and lower areas make little sense to me.
Regret- not sure why we have this map as it's basically an alternate truth and they mst have just went ahead and included both as they didn't have enough maps for launch.
Eden, Empire, Plaza, The Rig being basically the exact same style with Plaza being a little bigger I feel (maybe I'm wrong) The rig is the best out of this bunch but I only need one of these maps..
Leaves us with Fathom which is the only map that is sort of halo like in style an sight lines.
So I basically have 3 or so maps that I feel "ok" and want to play on and the others just feeling more like a chore
What went wrong in the development here?
BTW- I am near a 5 K/D ratio in arena but have only played solo. I am not that good an I haven't been on halo in a long time. (years) since I couldn't get on MCC but I hope to run with some decent players so I start losing. I lose most games and had top kills in well over half of them.... just want to win a bit.
Any good players can leave me a GT?

My guess is that if they just had in all in there day 1 the community would spread itself thin and not populate Warzone like they wanted it to. People are creatures of habit and usually only try what is familiar to them.
Also, spreading out features allows the game to have new press and marketing windows as these features come online. Look at how every week Destiny has some new bit of news and the press go bananas.
Not a Jellyfish
but I am a sheep
Warzone is amazing with a good size party.
We had a party of 6 we were down 790 to 190 and came back to win. It was nuts and hilariously awesome.

I don't see warzone taking off (could be wrong) but I do think its a bit too spread out when it should have just been a more fancy bigger BTB map with better objectives.
But we are missing doubles and things that should be there, I don't think it's just being spread out. Doesn't make sense actually, there are more players early on with most games.
Some things should have been there for sure like Doubles.
Some of my close friends already quit after two days cause of the maps and playlists.
So, hope to see a lot of big good news soon on those fonts..

Pretty much everyone wants these, good list. Hopefully 343 realizes that.
The other big thing being people want in the near future is BTB, and with some maps actually originally created, not only forge bullshit. A blend of the two would be fine but dont cheap out on us.
And whenever they get around to creating more maps in general for all playlists, how about some natural environments like
Sanghellios and Genesis

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
no assassinations and armor mod here.

send you message and you can invite me if it works
I can't use a mic cause im sick and cough too much
but I should do ok in most games.. hopefullyI'll hop in that arena if it's still open.
GT is Zeta Ori
Too early for a mic though
Yeah surprisingly the minority of games are blowouts, as I would have initially expected. A lot of very close games towards the ends, and the feeling of rallying from like 300 points behind to a win is so satisfying.
Still need some good REQs for my weapons, though. Those Longshot and Sentinel BRs are awesome.
Honestly Warzone makes me sad there's no successor to Spartan Ops in Halo 5, because I'd love to wreck enemies with your expanded arsenal.

They need to get players and then retain players. If you drip feed players with content then they will stay as the game content seems like it is growing. Right now the game and 343 is probably in metrics calculation where they are tracking who is playing what and for how long. Then when they release a feature they can see where it spikes and who returns. Giving away the whole game off the bat means they can't feed content and they get only a single shot at player retention. They are playing the long game here and are likely doing so for the health of the brand and also because it will likely be 2018 when Halo 6 drops.

Not really the case to be honest, if you go to quite a few message boards that do topics. They often have tons of topics about people hating the maps or other gameplay mechanics. Maps is the key issue though.
I like to play the game, but I think most of the player base for this halo isn't the fans that were once there. Percentage wise.
I agree with all of this. I would also like to see them add dailies and weeklies.

You make a good point. I'm not sure I even really like any of the launch maps. No one made maps like Bungie in the 1-3 era. Even Reach had some I would call classic.

Helioskrill
The body is great, that helmet is all types of ugly
Brolic Gaoler
formerly Alienshogun
And you need to either be incredibly lucky with REQ to get it, or beat MCC on legendary.
I love mine, only seen a few people with it.
Helioskrill is better.
yup. shit drops
I don't think there's any magic to it, they're just a type of permanent unlock. Don't spend your credits on bronze packs and you'll raise your chances of getting them. (Along with emblems, armor, etc.)

You will most likely have a higher chance opening silver packs but you'll miss out on more chances for rarer stuff, but you'd get twice the packets if you buy silver since they are half price of gold.

For me right now my main gripes are:
1: Aiming is currently screwy vs any other fps
2: Map and mode selection is lacking (also Orion)
3: AI both campaign and warzone is horrible, they shoot dead bodies 30 seconds after they died and think they can shoot through walls ffs...
4: Some odd menu quirks like sometimes not being able to mute in the player menu, usually the one time some random tool decides they want to sing the whole match.
5: not being able to pick a datacenter and no visible latency indicator like Titanfall had, some nights i've been playing on UK servers other times US, I can't compete when I have a 200ms delay and they have 20... which leads to being killed around corners, dying in perceived one shots etc.
6; Arena ranking and match ups can be weird, also don't like being stuck in 2vs4's half the time =(
We know maps are coming, if they fix the rest asap it's golden imho.

So the massive flinch from being shot by a vehicle REALLY needs to go.
Same here, I'm terrible at H5 Swat and Onyx
RNG is RNG, guys.
There are far less assassinations/stances/etc. than there are helmets/armor so you will of course see them less often.
I've seen three assassinations, three stances and one weapon skin drop. Just keep opening Silver/Gold packs and you'll unlock all of the permanents no matter what eventually.
