love the helmet and armor

yeah I'm in a gif fever.

 

[ShadowsFell]

I think a city oriented Warzone map, with elevated buildings with close-quarters action, and streets below for vehicles, with an absence of areal bottom story, so that vehicles could also drive under the buildings, would be pretty damn rad, and something people who don't favor ranged encounters would enjoy.

 

[arhra]

I really wish I found Warzone fun. Right now I just use it as a frustrating warmup for Arena and Slayer. It's so random and chaotic, and I hate how points are awarded for boss kills. Plus I'm a CQC player, and Warzone is all about range.

Have you tried the Assault variant? That's all about fighting over the bases, so much more close-quarters fighting, and there's no AI at all.

Didn't they show one like this but not ship it?

Pretty sure that's coming. They showed a city map in one of the pre-release videos.

 

[Leyasu]

Bit disappointed today. Pretty much every game was 4 shots on the light rifle, 5 on the BR, grenade delay and Americans in every lobby. Look like the "low ping matchmaking™"* wasnt working.

*for American players only

Still, I finished the third mission instead. And yeah it was pretty fucking awesome. Great campaign so far.

 

[vac]

Got my first H5 killing frenzy

Also are there no EU servers? Nearly every game is Americans

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

EDIT: Wrong thread :/

While I'm in here, what's the best way to go about opening req packs? Bronze/Silver for a while or keep saving up for Golds?

 

[ShadowsFell]

I think all we saw was an urban environment, with some open-street deiving. I suppose we don't know much about it.

Think more like operation locker from Battlefield 4, but with vehicles, and the quality of being a less shitty map.

The amount of people trying to ground pound the vehicles below would be worth it.

 

[Team Klimt]

Huh, yeah I have the Elite controller. Each fire mode just shot regular shots, thought I was going insane.

You can charge the new H5 Forerunner Incineration Cannon too.

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

Finally got around to playing this game. This is probably one of the most corporate feeling focus-group tested to all hell games I've ever played.

There's no heart in it. It's all "figure out what sells and cram it in there."

At least this has reaffirmed my tendency to stay away from today's AAA space.

 

[Einchy]

Only gold REQ packs drop armor?

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Only gold REQ packs drop armor?

No

 

[Seth Enosh]

So it's an issue with settings? That makes sense because I kept switching and testing an OOTB Halo 5 setting and then a custom one of my own, and that might have been the inconsistency I saw.

The charge doesn't trigger at the 50% level (not sure of exact percent) and it seems like right now setting the hair trigger setting on the Elite isn't letting the Xbox know that there is only 50% of the trigger to pull.

I don't even have a TV

 

[BeforeU]

got so many ground pound kills on strongholds. Love it love it. seems like the best game type to do GP when people are in place holding the base. I kinda wish if there was an achievement for this lol

But I think what Stinkles was saying is that there is a setting in the app for the trigger sensitivity to make them more conducive to hair triggers.

 

[IHaveIce]

SO why the fuck is this game disconnecting me quite often midgame.

My network is fine I can see it in my router report, nothing is wrong, just the game keeps kicking me out. What is this?

Stinkles?

You have to adjust it in the app if you're using the hair trigger locks.

for new page, I really need help.

 

[Zeta Oni]

I gotta say I'm liking warzone assault a little more than warzone right now due to the more frequent engagements. Offense is a bit harder though.

If anyone us hosting warzone related lobbies then I wouldn't mind getting in on some of that.

 

[Final Verdict]

Found the soccer ball Easter egg in campaign last night!
Well done 343

 

[Seth Enosh]

Yep, there is. I adjusted it in the app (not on preview) and they work fine now.

 

[NameGenerated]

Look at your NAT in network settings. If its moderate then you need to get it open.

 

[Mr_eX]

Is diamond the lowest rank for SWAT?

 

[Diablohead]

Now you can noob combo again.

I did this to someone earlier, felt good.

 

[Sesuadra]

Is diamond the lowest rank for SWAT?

lowest is bronze. Diamond is pretty high. bronze->silver->gold->platinum->diamond -> onyx->champ

 

[IHaveIce]

open.

 

[BraXzy]

Anyone up for some 2v2 customs?

Got room for 2

 

[Diablohead]

Am I right in thinking that there is no light version of the rocket launcher, whatever it was called in halo 4?

 

[Mr_eX]

lowest is bronze. Diamond is pretty high. bronze->silver->gold->platinum->diamond -> onyx->champ

Well I thought I was pretty terrible at SWAT but it placed me at diamond.

 

[The Henery]

This x100. Going in against stacked teams is awful. Especially when your team mates quit and your rank is being affected.

Wait, there's no team number party matching? In ranked playlists?

 

[TheOddOne]

You mean the Sticky Detonator?

What do you mean by light?

I had this same issue Saturday morning and it was driving me nuts, since everything on my end was working fine. Saw a suggestion on reddit that was working for others, which was to reset router back to factory settings. I tried pretty much everything before having to go that route, but once I did it completely fixed the issue for me. I have played most of Saturday night and Sunday morning without being disconnected once. It's worth a shot if you run out of ideas to try.

 

[TriAceJP]

Do we have a GAF Halo group on Live? I tried the online last night and had a lot of fun, would be better with a crew.

 

[katkombat]

Why when I "disconnect from activity" it takes me to the arena screen (where I want to be) for a second and then directly to the main menu?

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

Anyone seen the artwork for the 'My Rules' achievement?

Chief's wearing the cloak from the original teaser. Content cut?

I think the initial teaser and this are supposed to represent what will happen in the future(chiefs visor is still cracked) and 343 are probably leading up to it.

no way would they tease cloaked chief in toys, a trailer and concept art and not do anything with it

ehh could be wrong too but its fun speculating

 

[Jack The Nipper]

hey guys doing a few customs to learn the maps


leave your GT out if you are interested

 

[Herbs]

I find the loadout unlocks odd on Warzone. Really, level 8?

 

[The Antitype]

I must say, it's a liiiiiiiittle ridiculous that it took me till lvl 20 to get the Warthog cert.

And I STILL don't have the DMR cert!

 

[statham]

okay, warzone is fun, I thought I wouldn't like it, but I very much do.

 

[Akai__]

I got a lot certifications in Bronze and Silver packs. Warthog was one of them.

From my experience, Gold packs suck.

 

[Caja 117]

Gold packs are the best way to get armor pieces?

That is a very good point. Well I am already hyped for H6 now. Are they really going to make us wait 3 years? Now they have the gameplay all locked up, they just have to refine it. I hope they can give us earlier than 3 years

 

[Bessy67]

Eh, it's fine with me. The only thing that I find weird is that the base DMR is level 6. The loadout weapon cards aren't consumable so I have no problem with the more overpowered variants being tougher to actually get.

Gold packs are the best way to get armor pieces?

I don't think so. Pretty sure gold and silver packs both give 2 permanent unlocks so you get 4 permanent unlocks if you get 2 silver packs instead of just two permanent unlocks in one gold pack. Although the gold pack does have a better chance to give rarer stuff.

 

[Diablohead]

You mean the Sticky Detonator?

What do you mean by light?

well I mean promethean weapons which are light based, their version of the rocket launcher shot red light which exploded like the plasma launcher does, it was a nice weapon.

But thanks for reminding me about the sticky gun, that was an ok weapon, bit cheesy.

 

[buddha0991]

My dude currently, I like my look

 

[BraXzy]

No one for customs? Halo customs are the bomb people come on.
