Does the longshot BR need only 3 req points like a normal BR to use? when I ever find one on the ground it's really good to use and I want one.

so about warzone. I have an AR special version that I can use from the start..why can't I tell the game that I want to use that AR every time from the start? Or can I and I don't find the menu for it?
also, are people farming REQ points by not playing warzone and only standing still from game to game?

Yeah, fuck warzone. Constantly getting teamed up against obvious parties while getting a bunch of morons on our side.

Special BR/DMRs require higher REQ level and energy than their ordinary counterpart. I have a Defender BR with bayonet variant and it requires a whopping level 8 REQ to use.

Some weapons with just scopes are the same though, I have an AR with longshot scope and it's one I can use a req 1, the bayonet version needs req 8.

could never
There was a pos on my team with a rockethog who picked up NO ONE. Including myself, would see me running towards him and would drive off.

Ok now I won the next match (with a 3.1 k/d no less) and didn't reclaim the tier.
Complete bs.

You still get your points, just can't view postgame stats, head to the req menu and it'll probably say "loading", wait for that to disappear and your points and any unopened packs will update
I've had that happen a lot, but I've always found that if you shut the game down and then restart it, they show up just fine.

I don't like using it and I think in all my games I have only been killed by once or twice. I always hear it or get a sense for it and shoot them out of it or I dodge it and shoot them. I don't know if better players are better with it or not.. But it doesn't seem to be a smart move imo. Maybe I'm wrong but I have yet to see it used for top players.

I was so hyped by this Triple Kill Rocket Mary.
The video is much better with the announcer of course:

Lol, fuck Halo 5, I am done. Lost a warzone game 130 to 1000, total fucking ass team balance as we get pushed into home base from the start. Banshees, Gauss hogs etc just parked outside base and I have a needler to combat them.
A shit aiming system that's either too slow or too fast. Also includes a mind of its own in order to fuck you up whenever it wants. Enemy is one shot? Let's give you some nice ridiculois acceleration, no problem.
Oh hey, it's fine guys that I always get bleedthrough at a quarter of my shield, but would you be so fucking kind to drop after 2 bursts in your no-shield face.

The Warzone thing I can sort of understand but the rest is BS.

The more and more i play the more issues i'm noticing in what i first thought was a perfect game. With just over 100 games and only 14 hours of playtime i've been encountering the "aim issues" as well as the broken map rotation and lopsided warzone matches.
I still absolutely love the game but would really like 343i to address this analog acceleration curve (or whatever is going on lol) and add more maps. Warzone... well it can go die in a fire. Give me BTB and i'll never play it again.
Add more maps and take away the bullshit forge maps they threw together the night before launch. God damn those maps are trash.
Fix the aim issue, and while we're at it fix the spawns.
Great game but minor annoyances like this really but a damper on it.

Take a look at a lot of the top players... you'd be surprised how many use it. It's situational for sure... but if you know when to use it and are skilled at it... it dominates. Ninja was wrecking (as usual) with it and the shoulder charge yesterday afternoon (est) on Twitch.
Here's an example of me using it tactically in a match yesterday.

the aiming changes are of course a matter of taste. I hate it.
that's something I can sign.
They need to adjust the Boss spawns so teams can get a chance to turn the tide of the match. Unfortunately, if you control certain areas, you control the Boss spawns and just end up owning the game. The Boss' seem to be a way to balance the game objectively but it doesn't work that way a lot of the time.

I don't think anyone beat them haha

most likely either a legendary emblem or a pack of mongooses.
of course not...because we did not try as a team.
just think about it...you get a special REQ pack for beating them and there is nothing inside except for one mongoose.

My friend has been bitching constantly about the aiming since the damn game launched. Turns out he never bothered turning on "game mode" with his sony 4k tv, now he goes positive every match and is my best sniper teammate lol. The aiming sensitivity felt a bit off at first, but I'm comfortably sitting at sensitivity 4 and pulling off Mag kills from any distance..
awesome

To hell i hope.
Tried Warzone yesterday and absolutely hated it. The game definitely needs a proper BTB mode. Halo 4 had a very fun BTB playlist and it's kinda ironic that this one doesn't yet.
Overall, I am just very sad that H5 doesn't seem to be the game for me. Will still play here and there, but it does nothing for me. I will be watching tournaments and streams, though. H5 is a lot of fun to watch.

Once you're placed your CSR is only affected by wins and losses. Your k/d doesn't mean a thing outside of helping your team win.
You will not gain and lose the same amount of CSR each match. It depends on your team's rank relative to the other team's rank.
What you're describing is not "complete bs," it's how the system works.

I feel like a lot of the complaints are coming from people who thought they were going to be good at the game but it hasn't turned out that way. I suppose it's fair enough, no game is fun when you're losing all the time.

Why do you feel that way? Have you been checking up on people's GT's? Hey, i lose alllll the time and love it! lol You might be surprised to find out that a lot of us don't need to always win to enjoy the game.
BuggeryBugz
Member
Not at all. I'm average at best and I enjoy the game a lot. It's just seeing all the rage posts make me think that some people are finding MP difficult and therefore not liking the game.

Yep I think reach and halo 4 were forgiving to the point that there was no skill gap - it's nice to finally have a halo game again where there is one.
I think the real problem is that unlike halo 2/3 there is no ranked/ social divide which means that people who aren't playing to win and rank up are being decimated by those that are - warzone is the only place to go 'have fun' but the fun there is limited
Social modes such as Btb would make a difference

I think I'm at a 45% win percentage in Warzone (might be less) but I've had fun even when losing. Even when getting curbstomped. I think people just expect to always win, as if the game owes them that W.
What's amusing is that they will go to BTB when it launches, and find the same issues... Plus the awesomeness of getting betrayed if you pick up a power weapon. Can't wait for that lol

I've been watching Ninja, Snip3down, Ogre2 and other top-1%-tier players stream... i've heard my fair amount of complaining and issues regarding the aim and maps... but i totally get what you're saying.

Damn straight guys! There have only been a handful of times i've legit gotten annoyed while playing H5... and come to think of it... its been playing Warzone 90% of the time with unbalanced teams (talking 100 - 900+ in minutes matches).
I personally am super excited for BTB, that's more my style. I'll be the guy emptying the sniper into the ground if my teammates decide to melee me after picking it up. lol
yeah, the only time it's sucked is those unbalanced matches. there are little issues that need tweaking which will be tweaked most likely. even when those matches pop up it's still fun to wander around getting in snipes. digging it all around
