Seriously. Just put in an objective playlist. Who cares if the population isn't the largest. Sometimes we just want to play objective game types. Give us options 343. More options the better. And put in a damn social playlist.

I actually like fewer playlists, I just think Slayer & Objective are the bread and water of Halo. It's the bare minimum.

If they really want to combine the two into Arena then fine, I can deal. Except right now it seems like arena is only Slayer and Strongholds rinse and repeat. Where are the other objective modes? I'm dying for some variety.

 

[Razdek]

This was the worst Halo campaign I've played and didn't care for any character after it ended. Story is nonexistent and it just wasn't fun. There were no memorable moments and the push of Osiris and group mechanics was a poor decision. Totally disappointed in the game.

 

[CitizenCope]

Warzone might as well not exist its so useless.

Opinions man. I love it and can find a match with 23 others in seconds.

I'm pretty sure that was Cortana humming as the ring powered up. My guess is she preps the last of the remaining Halo array to use ot against Chief and anyone else who disagrees with her madness.

Yeah, that what I'm starting to think too. Sucks we gotta wait probably 3 years to find out....

 

[Ramirez]

No it wouldn't considering objective is Fun in Halo 5. The game isn't spawning you with ARs on Valhalla/Standoff.

Objective playlists have failed in the past mainly because of craptastic default settings.

I mean countless playlists in the past say otherwise, but ok.

I thought it was pretty obvious that's what was happening? Considering

the ring literally turns blue when she hums

Which all had garbage settings and were DLC map locked half the time. But ok.

 

[ZeezbruhTV]

Shotty snipes, you guys can play CTF in arena ima be blaining.

 

[CloudyTuba]

I mean countless playlists in the past say otherwise, but ok.

In all of my years playing Halo I never once had difficulty finding a game in an objective playlist (unless you count the MCC clusterfuck). So even if the population is lower, I dont see it being low enough to be a problem. What's the issue?

 

[The Antitype]

Stormbreak is such utterly garbage map design, I'm shocked the design lead on it hasn't changed his current position on linkedin yet.

Dear god.

 

[SicSemperTyrannis]

New Halo Survey for people in the program!

-complains about the lack of Grifball-

Grifball should only ever be allowed in the weekend playlist or a random junk playlist hopper with all the other trash gametypes like fiesta in a perfect world.

I'm extremely disappointed that 343 considers CTF a weekend playlist. This is a staple of the game and should be included in a dedicated objective playlist. Stop messing around guys, get basic objective going and then make shotty snipers the weekend vacation.

You know.

Lol yeah. I took a week paid vacation to play Halo 5. ��

We are one of the same mind.

 

[Moza]

Finished the campaign last night (Co-op with a friend) and overall it was quite disappointing. I didn't really have any crazy high expectations at all but even so i was let down. The story was basically non existent, the Locke missions all just felt like filler to the 3 Master Chief missions and we finished it in about 5 hours.

In regards to MP, I still enjoy it enough to play but really need BTB back soon.

 

[Ramirez]

It's almost like 343 has data that shows the playlist wouldn't sustain itself. Didn't even have faith to launch one with the game, they won't add one after people start leaving for the other fall games, IMO.

As for why a low population is a problem, there's a real lack of competitive gaming in all past TO lists. Kinda conflicts with their current Arena philosophy.

Use an expensive req, get spawned on top of an enraged hunter (west armory). Wtf..

Halo 4 data. Very reliable, yes.

Halo 4 data. Very reliable, yes.

Halo 3 and Reach were lucky to maintain 2K people in their Objective playlists as well, lol.

 

[Doffen]

I take whatever I can get in Warzone.

95% of the Spartans posted are ugly as f.

 

[GECK]

Halo 3 and Reach were lucky to maintain 2K people in their Objective playlists as well, lol.

2k with DLC restrictions and bad settings were viable. Now were talking about fun objective and no map restrictions. Claiming it will fail and kill the game without even giving it chance is silly.

 

[victreeb3l]

Keep getting paired up with awful players in Warzone. Got obliterated the last few games. Like 500+ point difference. Sigh.

 

[16BitNova]

Well, since everyone is doing it.

#forevernonoblehelmet

Really like this one!

 

[Fuchsdh]

I get it. I do like this idea overall. It's just frustrating when I look around the map, see six of my teammates huddled in the middle capture zone, not doing anything about the bosses. I need to play with a party.

Most definitely. Any online game is better with a party, but people who play Halo without doing it co-op or with a group are missing out on some stupendous fun.

On Warzone assault, am I the only guy who hates being on offense? I'd much rather be the guy trying to hold off the fight.

I did realize that it only takes <3 rockets to destroy the Core, though, so really the final phase all comes to positioning your defenders so they can't even get up that last stairway.

Spoiler

Smooth

Operator

I still love Operator. There's always helmets I prefer, but for as much shit as people gave Halo 4's armor Operator's better than most of Reach's.

Can someone please go into MouldyK's Setting and tick the Checkbox which says: "Give DMR REQ Cards"?

unticked the box. ;D

Halo 3 had an objective playlist for long enough for me to earn a 45 ranking in it, at least.

 

[Ramirez]

Ok guys, you win! 343 is just holding Objective hostage for no reason.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

I voted CTF for the weekend playlist, only at 26% currently .

Spoiler

I really don't think she'd try to kill chief, and that will likely be her downfall. Like the one thing that gets her killed/stopped is her desire to keep him alive.

I think she will point the Halo at the head of the galaxy and threaten to use it, but I don't think she will. For his sake. Maybe we'll revisit the ark. There are lots of possibilities at this point, really.

Am I in the 5%?!

 

[Dubz]

I love love love the new gameplay features in MP, but I hate hate hate playing the same 4 maps over and over again

Forever Mark VI.

I need a doubles playlist.

Team Ham n Ram!

Do you even req pack?!

I would prefer playing with someone that can get one kill in a match, RIP.

 

[The Antitype]

Ok guys, you win! 343 is just holding Objective hostage for no reason.

I don't think it's no reason.

I think it's either faulty time/asset management, laziness, or fear that tradition BTB and/or objective modes will prove more popular than their currently flawed/prototype Warzone mode.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Really like this one!

Some people have taste.

You heard it here, folks.

343 withholding popular matchmaking buckets due to fear.

 

[Ramirez]

Objective being more popular than WZ?? Ok...

 

[Granadier]

wow, the H5 API is really nice.

Speaks to broken game design.

 

[blamite]

Posting Spartans?

Once I get a nice orangey-gold visor color I don't think there's anything else I'll be changine until the Mk V helmet is released.

Although I think some of the other Mk VI variants have slightly nicer looking skins, so I'll use one of those if I get one.

 

[link1201]

I love love love the new gameplay fractures in MP, but I hate hate hate playing the same 4 maps over and over again

The limited amount of maps in both modes is my major complaint.

 

[Korosenai]

Can we get a gaf warzone assault group going tonight? I want to win 21 games in a row like you guys did the other day.

Makes sense.

Speaks to broken game design.

I wouldn't say broken, just annoying.

Get req'ed

No shortage of maps, just some weird aversion to actually using them in matchmaking.

We aint need this many mongoose variants bruh...
