I'm silver 1 and was in FFA lobbies full of gold and platinum last night. Matchmaking is just a bit crap.
Looks like EU and the US are bundled as one region as well.

Multiplayer wise this is my favorite since Halo 2, campaign wise better then Halo 4, but not as good as the other campaigns.

They really really really need to change the playlists to freshen it up a bit. Add some new fecking maps to Slayer!!!! Why leave them out in the first place?
This game needs more Slayer maps and more Warzone maps big time. I'm getting a bit bored of the game now because of such few maps (and a complete lack of BTB!!!) however I do love the gameplay.
To ship with such limited content will be the thing which stops people playing once COD & Battlefront come out. I wasn't going to purchase Battlefront, but I may do now.

It's ridiculous that they have 4 other maps that you can play team slayer on, but are not in the team slayer playlist. Who at 343 thought that was a good idea? I believe they haven't even said anything about why it's like that.
Absolutely no idea, it's absurd. I shouldn't have to go into Arena to play Slayer on certain maps, surely I should be able to go to Slayer to play all the maps? 343 should really explain this decision.
Im not a halo player and im enjoying the game a lot, great multiplayer, and a good campaign. It looks great at 60 fps, the gameplay is great, the history is ok, but its better than i expected (for a fps).
I finally killed the wardens yesterday with a friend, i died so many times alone that i needed help from a friend.
nah! seems the info that was posted was wrong about BTB forge maps

god I hope that is true lol
Too busy tweeting in a tone deaf manner about how rare their stupid rare req cards are!
"Halo ‏@Halo 11h11 hours ago
Mythic REQ stats: Since launch, only 38 Nornfang REQs & 36 Oathsworn REQs have seen the Warzone battlefield."
You know what else is rare? Plaza in my fucking Arena games, I've played it once in a week.
On the bright side, I've played Orion a bunch!!!11111. Fuck.
Yes, I'm salty.

Yeah, actually it's three. But I don't consider those filler, it's more like they ripped levels apart to be able to say they have fifteen missions when it's actually more like ten levels tops. However these little bits aren't filler, because filler by definition means enhancing game time. Like doing tasks all over again. The three levels we are talking about can be completed in seven minutes (all combined).

And that it what makes Halo 5 the best entry in the series for me. Every Halo so far had two to four levels that just were not fun at all. There are the Silent Cartographer quality levels - followed by an extremely bad level. Halo 5 is consistent in its quality, while its highs may not be as high as the best in the series the lows are still on par with the good ones in the series.
It wouldn't be a Halo thread w/o negativity.
You've got vocal minorities and shit posters all over the place. It's also a beloved franchise whose high standards haven't been met for a long time now. Halo 5 is a really good game. Is it the perfect halo game? Nope. But it's really fun and actually gets a lot of things right.
If you can look at it on its own merits I think people will see its one of the better shooters out there.
Mine was saying that the other night but the points eventually came
I've had that a bunch. The points still come.
Got a Mantis:
I'm too afraid to use it because I don't know how it controls. lol
lol, makes me realize I still haven't seen a Mantis in game.
also,
got this one but have no idea what it is and it doesn't show up in my cards. weird:
nvm it's an emblem. bleh

Left trigger for rockets, right trigger for machine gun. Other than that you can just walk with it, no running or boosting. It's probably the same death trap in multiplayer as it is in Legendary singleplayer.

I got Orion once I think today and played a good amount on Plaza. The map rotation is bullshit though, way too many times I am playing the same map over and over again. I feel like the shitty maps are more in the rotation then the good ones. I wish Frankie would at least address this crap in some manner on here. It makes no sense for those maps to be missing from team slayer's rotation.

Yeah some of the maps are rare'er than even the rarest req cards
They need to hurry up and put the midship remake in slayer and generally improve the variety across the board.
They really ought to get weekend playlists going before the casuals leave and never realise they are a thing
That said this is the best halo game since halo 3 - hats off to 343 now I just hope they can retain the player population in a very competitive market

Usually when that happens you still get your REQ points, at least that's what happened with me and a few others when it gave us that message

Like the next day kinda thing? I know sometimes it delays and adds them when you go to buy a pack but never had it not add up after 2 full warzone rounds =/ there wasn't even an option to see the standings afterwards which was weird.
So I finally got an Xbox One last week and of course I got Halo 5 to go with it. Should I go ahead and play Halo 5 or should I play the Master Chief Collection first?
I played all the Halo games when they launched (quite some time ago for some of them), so a refresher on the complete story would be nice. On the other hand I'm afraid that I will be a bit burnt out by Halo if I play all of the previous titles before Halo 5.
What would you recommend for the best Halo 5 experience?

Plaza, I don't like. Not too worried about it showing up or not honestly. Just another cluster map like eden and empire that I wish wasn't in the game. Rig is the only decent city map.
I only like playing on fathom and truth for the most part. Fathom can actually play halo style. One of the few and only maps that does
Explains why I do so much better on it. Went 32 and 4 on fathom yesterday. Didn't die the last 6 and half minutes in the game. Went to empire after that and barely got 12 kills. Maps in this game drive me crazy since they aren't very halo like. How about a guardian style map with the clouds around and under like the mission of the tower in campaign? Buy, please, more guardian style and less reach or halo 4. I get to where I barely sprint on truth and do a lot better no
not doing it.

The only thing I can give to Orion is that there's a few clamber points you would not expect and it throws people off guard catching them unaware, due to the nature of being made in forge without invisible walls.
Is that just for one match ? Shouldn't be impossible if so
You get a ton of assists in Halo 5 anyway

Crap I'll have to check later hopefully they are just delayed and show on the req screen too
I think Ground Pound is cool, but I never thought I would use it that much.... boy was i wrong, I got so many kills with it and it feels natural in the flow of battle. Love it.
Double kill ground pound for funzies

I got a weapon marked "ultra rare" - is that good or is 'ultra rare' like purples in WoW i.e. not a big deal.

can't say much about weapons but some of the purple armor I have unlocked I see quite often in warzone matches.
They should really consider changing how points are handed out when killing the bosses in Warzone. You can sit a mile away and just start firing at the last second to steal the kill and win it for your team. I had like four games in a row where the best team lost because of that stuff.
We do all the damage but someone from a mile away flukes the last shot to get the kill. We controlled 2-3 control points every game too. So dumb lol. Points should be handed out based on the % of damage dealt or something. I know it's basically meant to be a "fun" mode and not really competitive but it bothers me.

Longshot BR is still BS. And I am honestly astoinded that people want the AR buffed, definition of a low risk and big fat reward weapon, it's disgusting at close/mid.
And you never gonna use it in fear of losing it.

So how do you actually use the special versions of BRs/ARs that you can unlock?
I'm willing to admit I did this method too.

Yeah this shit happened to me last night. I had a team of two tanks, a Spartan laser, and an explosive-round ghost focus fire on the Warden the entire duration. We held the area down. Then some random from a distance pulled off a lucky shot and pulled it from us. It happens all too often and it's annoying.
