So I have six different SMGs to choose from and some of them seem to be nearly identical in function.

Most unique one I have is one that fires "kinetic bolts".... What does that even mean? More effective against vehicles or something?

It has a Promethean mod on it. It's lovely.

Also Me and Krow where doing that Homebase to Spire trick

So much better than attacking it directly, other team were dazzled.

Discovered that trick by accident. Was standing in the red tower and looked over and wondered if I could get onto the ledge... And yep. Such a ludicrous shortcut lol
 
I still cant believe the whole Locke Vs Chief thing climaxed in a cut scene. What a missed opportunity. How about a Locke Boss battle? Fighting Locke and UNSC marines with tanks would be so damn epic. This game had so much un taped potential. And not one Scarab battle.

The pro players had nothing to do with campaign or WZ? The 4v4 is as good or better than it's ever been, TBH.

You don't think input from Ghost and the others went into mechanics and gameplay that are present in campaign and Warzone? Interesting conclusion.

BR was a 4 shot kill though. 12 bullets. 11 in MLG playlist. Halo 3 had bleed through, like both halo games before it. Reach took bleed through out and people were pissed because it drastically increased the effectiveness of sprint + double melee since you could put 3 shots into somone and trade punches but end up on equal footing. You're shots meant nothing since the melee damage didn't bleed through into health.

I'm sorry you're right. Not awake yet. It was an 11 bullet shield pop with the 12th for the head.

I find beatdowns are VERY inconsistent in H5. And thrust shoulder slams. I get killed in one hit and I can't kill others in one hit.

I recall you being very vocal about server selection after the beta. Is launch halo providing significantly better experience?
Click to expand...


It's better than the beta, but in no way is this the "low ping matchmaking" that they said it would be just before launch. The low ping should have had "for US players only" in brackets. Lol yesterday afte afternoon was particularly bad.

Anyway, what do non NA players do? We are going to be fodder no matter what whilst 343 have ambitions of proving that they can do the fastest matchmaking. Which comes at the expense of match quality. Whereas putting in something in that let's us set ping limit say starting at 50ms upto 120ms for example would be enormous.

I would like to know how it is going for Aussie/NZ players.

Read the descriptions, and yea, it's more effective against vehicles.

Not really, they're not over the sandbox, nor are they senior designers at the studio. Watching The Sprint shows that they made some Breakout maps, and gave input on MP, but even then had to bargain with the art team to get what they wanted on certain maps.
 
I was doing so well in Arena+Warzone the first few days of launch and now my aim is atrocious and I don't know what happened. I switched to my new Elite controller and I'm afraid I messed with the settings too much or something.

what mechanic you think was made because of Pros? Pros where mostly there for balance.
Click to expand...
Aiming, shooting, weapon-balance?

I can see why people are enjoying the game, don't get me wrong -- I'm happy that many of you are -- it was just personally a disappointment to me, which makes me sad. Maybe I'm just getting old. ;)
 
Anyone who knows how to get the Skull on legendary in Mission 3 willing to help out?

My friend and I are outside the garage but...while we beat the campaign on heroic this is a bit of a step up :P last skull to get tho.
 
Just a tip for people, get Silver req packs starting out. Don't get gold until you get more certs and stuff like that. I got a lot of them that way.

Angry Joe's Review

He complains about Split-Screen within the first 5 mins...


...clearly never read anything in 6 months.
Click to expand...

He makes more of a point about the BS reasons they gave for its omission...

And there is nothing wrong with him representing the average joe (ahem) who may not follow internet coverage of the game and just run out and buy the new Halo to play with friends on a sofa...

No. It's not dumb. It's risk/reward. Use your good cards wisely. ;)

Risk reward = hope someone doesn't run into the garage when you call in a rare vehicle and instantly destroy it? Ok.
Click to expand...

It's risk/reward at it's finest. The guy/girl didn't have to spawn the Tank at the Garage when they knew enemies were trying to cap it. He/she could have spawned back at their Base where it was actually safe.
 
Stinkles,

So in Warzone (regular Warzone, not Assault) there are crucial moments when not all three capture bases show up on the HUD. For example, whenever the enemy has captured all three bases. It never shows the furthest armory. Which would help A LOT because it appears I am the only person on my team that remembers that that is an option. Everyone else is busy just trying to recapture the nearest armory because that's all that shows up on their HUD. I go all the way around and capture the furthest armory and that one is way easier to take back. But, the rest of my team just wont help. Again, because they just don't see it and/or forget.

agreed. I notice it only shows the two nearest which doesn't make any sense.
 
I want to echo that there needs to be more maps in Slayer. I think there are currently 4 maps in the rotation, and I'm starting to get tired of them.

Oh really? Guess I haven't unlocked it yet.

Oh wow I didn't know that. I only have AR, BR, Magnum, and SMG as options right now. I really want to unlock the DMR now because I haven't gotten to use it much in Halo 5.

Might be useful to get bronze first. This morning I bought my first two bronze packs (at SR 18) and I got a warthog cert and a suppressor cert.
 
Man, my kill death is 0.80.... Something is off with this game. Ive never been under 1.20 in any Halo game or any other game for that matter.

The HUD is the worst part of Warzone. Where are the mobs? Where are all the bases? Are they being captured?

e.g. Standing at West Armory looking at Garage and East Armory, there's no HUD element for East... so I can't tell what's happening over there, even though I can see the building?

Or spawning at Garage and trying to get to East Armory; good luck getting your bearings if the game refuses to show you that waypoint.

And I never know where mobs are and what they're up to unless I'm practically on top of them. Warzone is a mode I typically play without a headset and I have never heard anyone talk during, so I'm not quite sure the expectation here. "I think the AI said they're at the crane... I don't know where that is."
 
Hi guys,

Just wanted to say hi. Joined GAF years ago mainly because of HaloGAF but kind of stopped playing games except for the odd StarCraft or LoL match here and there before I got accepted, bought an X1 for Halo 5 and followed the recent threads for weeks before I realised I actually had an activated account haha.

My GT is ComplicatedCat, I live in the UK and I'm rusty but okay-ish at the Haloes (Plat 1 in Team Slayer).

Obligatory rankings:

SP 1 > 3 = Reach > ODST = 5 > 2 = 4
MP 5 = 2 > 3 = 1 >> Reach (never played 4 multi)
