Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

Wish there was a way to grab a less blotchy looking render, but I'll join the party:

I was rocking full Noble for a bit, but I'm liking this combo as well. Basically only liking this set, Nightfall, Noble and the traditional MC armor so far.
 
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.

Everyone sounding American is a giveaway.

It's really frustrating to have one guy one shot and then another sprints past and your aim goes haywire. Just lost a good 1vs3 on that account.
 
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.
I agree with most of this.

Really my biggest complaints right now are the lack of social arena playlists, map count, and the weird repetition of maps in matchmaking. BTB needs to get here quick. December is too long.

I really enjoy Strongholds and CTF in this game but I don't wanna wade through slayer matches and Breakout to get to them.

This aligns exactly with how I feel (though I'm not done the story so I have no opinion yet).

My biggest complaint in single player is the friendly AI and my biggest complaint about the multiplayer is the lack of maps.

I'm extremely pleased with this package as a whole but there are some issues no doubt.
 
Well... You're not wrong.

But instead of goo we shoot bullets at each other. Lots of bullets.

I told myself i'd stop for the night once I got enough RP for a Silver Pack...so why do I still feel like I need to play 2 more Warzones for another pack at 11pm?!
 
Just strange options. No wonder Snipers is winning. Snipers has always been a popular playlist.

And they're putting a unique playlist against two gamemodes already in team arena
 
lol did 343 really think anything was going to beat Shotty Snipers?

Just make Strongholds and CTF an objective playlist. It shouldn't be in these weekend things, save that for goofy stuff.
 
Shotty Snipers / CTF / Strongholds....

ugh, seriously? No KOTH... Juggernaut... Infection... oddball... griffball...

Boring... it's going to be shotty snipers filled with the usual kids. BLOPS3 this weekend it is lol

i guess i am a 26 yo kid :(

CTF/Strongholds should have a designated playlist - a weekend rotation should focus on unique gametypes not currently available in any rotation. I would have liked to see choices like Infection, VIP, Griffball, etc.

this please so everyone is happy
 
Just finished Halo 5 in 4 player co-op with 3 friends who don't follow the lore or anything. They said, "Spartan Ops season 2 was alright. When do we get to play Halo 5?"

Pretty much dropped the ball on this one Stinkles and 343.

Also, something like the codex from Mass Effect better be in Halo 6. None of my friends are going to go to the Halo Channel to learn any of this stuff they need to know to understand everything that going on.
 
I am wondering how the population drop off is going to be after blops, fallout, and battlefront.

The maps all feel very samey and boring to me and there isn't much variety in the game modes.

Warzone might as well not exist its so useless. They should have focused on btb first.

I finished the campaign yesterday and I really feel no urge to keep going, even with the multiplayer. I am actually more eager to go back to my halo 3 legendary run.

Lol i didn't mean anything by it... no worries.. .i'm a 30 something old man haha... though i am pumped they are doing a weekend playlist.... even if there aren't any "different-weekend-social" gametypes.

It's not great but it's nowhere near as abhorrent as Spartan Ops was.

Now Warzone? That's on Spartan Ops's level.

Having a mostly great time in Arena though.

Nah its cool, i was just kidding.
I understand that alot of people here would like to have dedicated CTF / objective type playlist and i changed my vote to CTF just to help you out

even though i know snipers will win :P
