Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

So even well after the MTU bug fix I STILL cannot get into Halo 5 multiplayer or Co-Op this is seriously bugging me, I've tried starting a thread on reddit, tweeting @Halo and received no response.


All I get is a message.

Unable to connect to Halo 5 guardians lobby service.

I've tried hard resetting, fresh install. Everything. Nothing has worked.


Has anyone ANYONE been able to get a solid fix for this yet??

My NAT is Open, my MTU is above 1300, my upstream is 105mb and downstream is over 26mb.

I'm at a loss for what the hell is wrong

Up and down are reversed, FYI

I would imagine it's your router.

Thanks for pointing out the mistake, but no I don't think its the router, theres no settings interfering with the xbox or halo waypoint, and I have had no problems with any other game
 
I've pretty much given up obtaining the ODST armour set, as the armour pieces that you get in the packs are so far & few, it's going to take months of getting shit that I won't use, just so I can get a set of armour that I want.
 
Btw whats the point of lvl 8 REQs? and warden eternal spawning when the score is 980/1000
They need to make it so warden eternal spawns alot earlier or when one of the teams reaches 900 points.

Go for the silvers to get the basic stuff out of the way.

Never seen that helmet. That's sick!
 
I am starting to seriously doubt the origins of the servers. I am always hearing Americans in the lobby or ingame, what's up with this?

Chuck a grenade and watch the animation. If the grenade appears instantly, then you are playing locally. If their is a delay between the end of the animation and the grenade appearing, then you are not. One of the easiest ways to tell.

months of playing a game you like enough to care about a certain armor. Oh the horror.
 
The sniper has some pretty high aim assist.

I should have not landed any of those shots.

I dunno, in both cases your tracer seems to lead directly to the edge of the enemy Spartans armor. Is this weapon hitscan or projectile?

If it's projectile, it looks like the 1st Spartan might have moved in front of the bullet...

The second shot, There aren't enough frames in the video for me to tell if your reticle is way above the tracer due to recoil or because of the aim assist.
 
Why can you not see your BR skins in Slayer? I unlocked a badass Battle Rifle skin only to not be able to see it in Slayer, I thought weapon skins carried over to Arena? Surely it cannot only be for Assault Rifles and Magnums?

I guess it's cause you can't start with BR's, currently...

Unless they had the skins change anytime you picked one up... Which would be fine I guess...

Weapon skins apply to spawn weapons only, I'd have to imagine there's some technical issues with having it work on guns you pick up. Try SWAT, or customs with the starting guns of your choice.

If you make a custom Arena game type with BR starts you should be able to see it in your custom.

The weapon skins are only applied when you spawn with them, not on pickup weapons. Maybe they should change that though as otherwise BR skins will be impossible to see in ranked matches.
 
My guy right now. Hoping to get some higher tier helmet and armour so I'm not stuck with what I have, I'm still trying to shake the Hunter gear that came as a bonus item!
spartan
 
I would have two types of points for Legendary bosses. Team percent of damage, and then a large number for the actual kill. That way it would be like this

150 points.


Team A - 80% - 80 points
Team B - 20% - 20 points

Team B kills the Legendary and gets 50 points on top of the 20 for a total of 70.

As it stands there is no incentive to waste bullets on the first 90% of the bosses' health.

I think that'd change the dynamic that bosses add too much. With the boss up, you can choose to ignore it and maybe try to sneak to their armoury and make some big plays but then what if they just spawned in a Spartan laser? Yes getting a kill is a pain but it is all part of the team strategy aspect. You ideally need to lock down the area or do what the enemy is probably doing and try and snipe steal. It's risky since you're pulling a slim chance maneuver but it could pay off.

I think matches would be a lot more one sided and stale if it was all divided up based on exact amounts and such. The bosses spawning would be less of a spanner in the works and more of a chore to finish up quicker than the enemy.
 
Here's my current one:

spartan


The helmet was my first ultra-rare so I kinda feel obligated to wear it.

Where are you guys grabbing these from? Waypoint?

Edit: Double post woops.
Yeah, just go to your service record on waypoint and you can right click on the image there to get the URL.
 
Please, guys. I know you want to share. But please. Please, for the love of all that's holy, grab a screen of your in-game model. The Waypoint ones are hideous.

but what I listed wasn't only divided up. You still get bonus for the kill. So if your team was sucking and the other team get most of the damage points you could still sneak up and get a quick 50 and stay in the game.
 
So what's the general consensus on halo 5?
Not sure if there's a general consensus. My personal feelings:

-Gameplay is top notch. Best in the series IMO
-Campaign is a lot of fun. Big open battlefields with multiple ways to tackle them
-Story is OK imo. Not great, not bad. Some people seem pretty disappointed with how a certain character turned out.
-Friendly AI in campaign is horrible. Like, completely useless.
-Arena MP is pretty good. Even starts, everyone with the same abilities. Somewhat lacking in maps though, and so.me people have been having some troubles with lag (not really me though)
-Warzone is a pretty good time. It's better if you have some people to play with on your team, but you can do it solo too. It can get pretty crazy towards the end if people are using their reqs for vehicles. Again though, lacking in maps.

Overall I'm really enjoying it. I do really wish there was some kind of firefight mode though.
