Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

Apparently Angry Joe can't take a joke (at least when it comes to games making light of the fact that people see microtransactions and think the worst automatically) since that REQ video was clearly light-hearted in nature. The REQ system is also very fair and it is a GREAT addition to Halo.

Holy shit at the bit about 343's informational video about the req cards... any time someone asked a legit question they just said "shut the f up"... Joe's reaction to that is quite warranted... was there a thread about it at the time??

why? the video explains everything. also the voice actor is nick offerman so from that alone the intention that this is a light hearted video is given.

Better than Halo 4 for sure but not big as Halo 3-Reach level..

I hate the fact that when you face 2 AR , you literally can't survive even if they are avarage players..AR is so OP and needs a bit nerf..

Yeah I'd hardly call the skill gap in this game "glorious". Just because youre more mobile, more powerful, and can do more fancy shit doesn't automatically widen the skillgap lol. Even average players are a powerhouse now, at the very least when they're coming at you at once. And Nerf the automatics please ;p
 
Finally finished the campaign on Legendary last night, and what a ride it was! The ending made me feel the same way Empire Strikes Back does. Just melancholy, like shit's gonna get fucked up big time.

I found the first major boss fight took some doing, but the second and third ones were cake. What was complete horseshit to me, was the final sequence of battle in Mission 15. Could barely move without getting downed. And the AI teammates are as much a liability as an asset, but at least Nathan Fillion was amusing. Exuberant Witness was good too.

And speaking of amusing, the friendly grunt dialogue was hilarious! Good enough that I'd like to see a grunt star in his own comedic adventure.

I'm loving the multiplayer too, though the spawn system in SWAT needs work. For example, I spawned on the exact point I died three times, giving the same guy 4 free kills essentially.

And for those who finished it on Legendary:
What do you think is going to happen with the Halo installation that we saw? Was that Cortana humming, as she preps that thing to fire?

I'll give you my Scorpion for two of your Banshees. I'll also throw in a Blue Eyes White Dragon too.

What I hated was he was like "After checking out REQs, they are fine...but what happens when they get worse in Halo 6 and 7?! That's why I hate them..."

Maybe the next spinoff halo should be a digital mtg-like trading card game. It could work.

I'd be kind of shocked if there's not a deckbuilding game yet.

Fake Edit: Huh. It appears that Halo is literally the last property on earth to not receive some kind of deckbuilding card game adaptation. Huh.

Actually, I would like fantasy flight games to make one(of course it's up to microsoft :P). If they'd make it like the Cthulhu card game it could be amazing.
 
Does anyone else keep getting disconnected from games?

I've gotten dropped from my past 3 Warzone games and I have no idea why.

Internet is fine and checking the settings on the X1, tells me everything is working and I'm getting 58 down and 6 up.
 
What does the KDA value represent? At the end of warzone assault match, my KDA showed 7 and my kills as 17. In post game stats my deaths were 16, I thought KDA was meant to be your kills per death but obviously not

assists are also counted
 
I love the game, but where is a normal 8v8 mode? Why only three Warzone maps?

I'm not a fan of small teams, because it makes each player much more vital.

And I love Warzone, but am already getting burnt out on the same 3 maps.

The gameplay is perfect though.

BTB is coming. There are no BTB maps currently.

you seem to be right about that. I love swat and breakout is freaking awesome.

but you are also right that it should not be in team arena.

I don't think it's exactly the same. you can still pull of reversals in Breakout w/o the guy who caught you being complete ass. It's really really team focused.

I'd rather just have Team Arena disbanded and Strongholds and CTF broken out into an objective playlist. I really like Strongholds and the way CTF plays out but I'd rather be able to play it on demand instead of waiting for them to come up in the hopper.
 
munroe said:
Well that would still be incorrect as I got 20 assists so assists plus kills equals 37:16 deaths which would be approximately 2 kills/assists to one death

(K+(A/3)-D)/GamesPlayed


Kills+(1/3rd of your Assists)-Deaths/Games Played

It basically means you are probably going to get 7 more kills than deaths in the match on average.

thank you <3 I was to lazy to do write that down ._."

Yes. The first set looks like they'll be Forge maps of classic BTB maps. Hopefully some of the free map DLC has some cool BTB maps as well.

Team Arena is the HCS playlist, so it's gonna be sticking around. Objective playlists have historically had terrible populations, they can't support themselves long term.
 
Is there any particular reason why Warzone Assault does not feature two rounds?

Seems strange that you either attack or defend and that is it, no switching of sides.

Going by the ((K+(A/3))-D)/GAMES PLAYED Rules:

In your case:

17 Kills +(1/3rd of 20 Assists = 6)-16 Deaths=7 KDA
 
I'm like 5 or 6 missions into the campaign enjoying it even if I don't really get what's going on.
Probably what I like most about it is that it's clearly meant to be played coop now of only they didn't scrap couch coop me and my wife would be loving this.
The only having 3 maps for war zones is lame big team battle can't come on soon enough.
I think I'm just not a multiplayer guy though unless it's coop
 
Jesus that ONI hog is a fucking tank!!! I like to troll on Warzone assault when we make it to the enemy core. I just drive the ONI hog around their base and they all focus fire on me, while my teammates get easy ass core hits. I love that damn thing!

The more I think about it, the weirder it is that Halo 5 didn't launch with BTB. Blood Gulch CTF with Warthogs is one of the checklist items on a Halo experience. I hope it's here by Christmas.

(sorry for the double post)
