Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

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!

With a good driver you're a god!
 
I would love to know this as well. I miss playing Slayer on all the beta maps. Finally put in my ten placement games into SWAT and enjoyed seeing something outside of the, what, four Slayer maps?

Supposed to be 6 maps, but it sure feels like 4, the map rotation is all kinds of screwed up
 
Why can't you rejoin a game that you dc'd from? I keep trying to but it doesn't allow me to. Speaking about Arena matches.

Also, has anyone been successfull in joining a friends warzone match where theres a spot open on their side?
 
What's with the bad driving vehicles?

it's like they are either molder to the small hilly terrain (which is strange) or they are spinning and won't stop

While jumping over hills they never take a very good jump projectory it's always typicall a nose dive then some flips.. never liked 343's vehicle handling but this is even worse than their other two sets in 4 an H2A
 
Seriously what the fuck.

I keep getting disconnected from Warzone.

Open NAT, 50-60 mpbs down, 6 up.

That's 5 games in a row now.

That sucks. At least you're not like me, I can't even find a game. "Unable to Match" or just constantly searches for Spartans with no luck. Been like this for a couple days now :(
 
Playing Arena/Slayer/SWAT/whatever for hour or 2 if anyone wants to join. Plat in Arena/Slayer, Onyx in SWAT..but happy to play with any rank :)

GT: BoC xCarnage

EDIT: In UK if it matters

The Warthog is almost unflippable now because you can correct your trajectory, but the Mongoose will spin out of control if you run over an ant.
 
Playing through this on Legendary is the least fun I have had with a Halo game so far. I feel like I'm missing something, like there's some really obvious strategy I'm overlooking. And I continue to dislike the Prometheans as far as enemy types go. Just a slog so far. The part at
Meridian, where it's just wave after wave of them
is torturous and I haven't even gotten to a boss fight of any kind.
For what it's worth, I think this is one of the harder Halo's for Legendary. Even with the revive mechanic, there are just so many, many, guys and they all have good aim. Plus, most of the times your A.I (they left the 'I' out of that part btw) guys just go down in seconds.

Still fun though, for me anyways.

Heroic seems to be the sweet spot.
 
Here.

Alot of people liked the video and the times they said "STFU", they later explained why them people were wrong...but Joe didn't pay attention...

Thanks, just watched the full video. I agree that Joe over-reacted. Taking nearly 700 hours of playtime to earn all of the cosmetics isn't bad either for a dedicated player...
 
The match would be too long and if you adjust the match length by shortening capturing bases etc it may break the balance even further

I could see some matches going on rather long but the majority of the matches I have played on this gametype rarely go the distance as far as time goes.
 
Is there an LFG website or anything for Halo 5?

I wanna find people to play competitive Arena with but don't have friends online as often as I like.

Add me if you want: NJ Shlice

Even less if you just aim for Silvers until you get all the Rare Customization Items, then move onto Gold packs.

Joe just did the Worst Case Scenario as usual.
 
He makes some solid points, I really like Halo 5, but I can admit that. Don't discredit it just because you like the game more then he does.

In terms of Story and things, yeah.

But the way he did a Worst Case Scenario Cost for all the REQs and kept going "The REQ System is fine...but it is not fine because in Halo 6 and 7 it WILL be worse!"

Ah, gets even worse eh? I just picked them up in sp, don't really play warzone... and there is no other way to test them out

My mongoose was always spinning aroun though, once spun about 20 times atleast before stopping


Hope they will make a guardian like map with the cloud area from the single player tower. Just don't use those metal grating area... that would be really nice if it was made a bit like guardian but not lockout :) and no building designs please.
 
Yea i'm not hopping on the whole conspiracy corporate hungry executive angle that Joe likes to play. He did the same shit for Destiny.

Criticize the facts.
 
I love this game.

Don't ever stop being beautiful, DMR...


I get that some people don't like the req system and I'm okay with that, but I haven't watched and don't plan on watching the Joe review because I just expect to dislike it as much as I did his Dirty Bomb video.
If people are insulting him and other nastiness though, that stuff needs to stop.

Yup. BR's and DMR's in Breakout are team-kill traps with randoms. I've gotten used to not ever rolling with one in Breakout and it's actually improved my game because of it for the most part.

Um, wow. That's some straight up BS. I mainly play SWAT so I haven't seen that but that would piss me right the eff off
 
Anyone have a problem with saving?

I just started but have multiple instances of "saving... Failed" through the campaign, don't want to continue yet.
 
I keep being in situations where fuck all from the other team is around yet somehow THEY get the kill for Legendaries. It's like people can just sit across the map and only shoot once or twice when the thing is down to 10HP
 
this happens in breakout so often, I no longer pick up the br until I can tell no one else is going to use it.

He has valid points.

Would be a real shame if BTB launched with forge maps.

Well, it is from what it looks like. I'm just as bummed about it as you.

In terms of Story and things, yeah.

He had a lot of good points about the REQ system too, of course he takes it too far, but he's right that it sucks that you can't unlock certain things from a progression system and instead it's random cards. And I believe he's also on point that people defend the REQ system more then any other type of microtransaction.
 
I'm still sitting here wondering what the hell 343 was thinking with these 8 second respawn timers.
Who the hell places a respawn timer in deathmatch
 
Nothing is more frustrating than losing when you did well and then you end up losing a rank because of your team ugh

For what it's worth - I'm sorry.

I'm the guy bringing good players down. THAT SAID, pretty much not one fucking soul communicates in this game. I may be bad, but I always try to play as a teammate, and call out enemy positions and movements throughout. It would be nice if one other person could return the favor.


EDIT: I played some more last night with a few friends, and I still can't deal with this game. I'm so torn, because on one hand it controls so damn beautifully. I love the quick moveset, bouncing and jumping around the map, powersliding, etc. It "feels" great to play.

But everything else just makes me mad.

-Maps are more like circles than lines - meaning everyone is just running in circles and avoiding actual face-to-face confrontation
-lack of objective-only gametypes
-no mics
-no BTB
-warzone is the disappointment of the year
-no vehicles in any of the arena games
-maps are too damn small
-lol spawnpoints
-grenades fucking EVERYWHERE
-too many power weapons and/or they respawn too quickly

... but really, my biggest frustration comes down to the fact that if you kill someone, or they kill you; the dying player can be back in the same spot in ... truly... like 12 seconds. Being able to hop around, sprint, and dash allows everyone to gang up in one spot almost instantly; taking away the map control.

Criticize the facts.

He is criticizing the facts, the fact is that cosmetics could have been unlocked by a progression system like all other Halo's, instead they are lumped into REQ cards. Instead of having people play to get a certain thing you give people the option to buy packs in order to possibly unlock certain thing or play to possibly unlock certain thing. I mean if you don't see that they did that to make more money then I don't know what to tell you. In one scenario there's more of a chance for you to spend money then not.
 
Just lame that you can't play the team objective modes without having to play team slayer. Especially when there is already a playlist whose entire purpose is team slayer

I play team arena sometimes in order to play slayer on maps that are for some freaking unknown reason that no one from 343 has talked about missing from the team slayer playlist.

It's one of the biggest things that baffles me about this game. Team Slayer is especially suffering from a lack of maps and they have 4 maps that aren't in the playlist that could easily be put in, how the fuck does that make sense?

They can do Warzone REQ's to their hearts desires since it now means the multiplayer community won't be splintered to hell and back when new maps get released. (and it's not exactly a small number a new maps)
 
If you're not playing with a group of friends of your own, this is probably one of the most frustrating multiplayer shooters out there. The awful spawning and size of the maps in arena just makes things incredibly imbalanced, and that much more difficult to overcome. If it's one vs two or three, unlike other shooters, there's basically very little chance to defeat the odds. It's a game of numbers. Seems like a lot of people are partied up too. Is there not an option to play arena where no parties are involved?
