You know what is the only thing i wish was in warzone that I felt always needed to be in halo? the transport warthog and was let down when the scout warthog wasn't that. can we please get the transport warthog to carry like 5+ people to an area?

If nothing else so I can load one up and drive it off a cliff.

The opportunities for trolling would be awesome.

Time for the real question.

Red or Green??

Green all day, that's a very cool armor. How did you get it?

 

[Diablohead]

Time for the real question.

Green, you see red all the time in team games and red/black is too common

 

[Goldfishking]

Complete halo 1,2,3 and 4 on (solo?) legendary in the MCC

Green, you see red all the time in team games and red/black is too common

That's part of the problem. Red visor looks better when your forced to be red or blue in matchmaking, but green looks better overall.

 

[Graciaus]

I opened silver but wasn't getting certifications fast enough. I've opened 6 bronze packs since then and have got one every time. Seems faster for now to get the stuff I don't care about out of the way.

How do you look at your medals in this game? I know you can't do it post game but there must be some way. Sometimes things pop up and I don't even know what it is.

I guess I lost access to Helioskrull because I got a refund on MCC, dick move, IMO.

 

[Easy Breezy]

Unlocked the energy bayonet AR, requires level 8 so I'll doubt I'll be using it for a while.

 

[AcePartyN7]

I just got a nice spawn kill

Interesting.
I still have MCC but never progressed more than 50% into Halo 2 on legendary as its a pain in the ass.

I might need to finish it for that set. Probably gonna do it coop as it should make it a bit more... bearable.

boy do i hate swat so much.

 

[UndeniedReal]

quick question, might be a stupid one but I didn't feel like searching through this whole thread... But what's the fastest way to get new armor and helmets? Tired of looking at my standard issued armor and helmet lol.

PS first time posting on Neogaf!!!

Green for me.

Some armor sets are unlocked if you've completed achievements in Master Chief Collection. Otherwise, you've got to get them via random drops in REQ packs. If you want armor save your REQ points for Gold and Silver packs.

 

[Madness]

I guess I lost access to Helioskrull because I got a refund on MCC, dick move, IMO.

But do you still have your save data? Or was that completely deleted? Because I'm pretty sure as long as you have your completed legendary saves on your gamertag/account, it should unlock right? Did you get the mcc refund before the H5 beta or after? Did you have Helioskrill unlocked there?

 

[Trup1aya]

I feel like I'm the only person who didn't experience completely bugged out team AI...

I played on heroic, and only once did my teammates completely ignore my request for revival, and I'm pretty sure it's because my body was glitched inside of a rock...

I'm certain that's the reason because all of the NPC's in the area (enemies included) just stopped moving all together and waited for me to bleed out... Buck was just standing peacefully next to an elite.

Usually the frustration I have is that ALL three of my teammate rush to my aid, and don't think to try and cover each other... So they all get wiped out. That happened a handful of times...

 

[MouldyK]

Rank = skill, plis. We all know this.

Idk, i just feel 15 hours for level 25 is.. low D:

30 hours of Warzone and only level 33. D;

 

[Tecnniqe]

30 hours of Warzone and only level 33. D;

D: Im not that far behind then, unless level spike like crazy at later levels.

Team Arena a and Slayer need to share maps with each other. Playing 4 maps over and over is making me want to drop this for COD, which is a shame because I'm really digging the game play.

If Team Arena and Slayer shared maps, you would now have 8 maps in rotation instead of four.

Speaking of COD... All game types use all maps, which is the way it should be.

Yup. Why are the maps segregated per game type? Maybe 343 thinks people enjoy playing the same 3 maps over and over again?

 

[E92 M3]

Why isn't there a bigger outcry that Slayer only has 4 maps? That's really not right and I don't know any shooter that has only 4 maps for Deathmatch.

 

[Poodlestrike]

So REQ packs, what's the best approach here?

Ive been mostly buying bronze packs to find easy certs. At what point should I buy a silver or gold? How do you guys do this?

I started on Golds, then figured out Silvers were a better value, then realized Bronze is where the certs are. I stop buying Bronze for a while after I have a run of nothing but Boosters, pick up a few Silvers, then switch back to Bronze to see if my lucks' improved.

Only buy Gold when I'm feeling silly or I've got a ton of REQ points saved up 'cause I got into the mode.

I had it in the beta, but removed MCC from my system. I figured it unlocked based on achievements, oh well.

theres a pretty big outcry

 

[E92 M3]

theres a pretty big outcry

343 didn't even mention it once. I legitimately don't see a reason why they can't include other maps in the slayer playlist.

Halo is dead. La Bomba etc.


And nope, I just suck XD

I avg at around ~60% win/loss and only played with randoms except for 2-3 matches where i had 1 with me lol

HOPE LIIIVEEES

 

[Korosenai]

I actually got the security helmet from a gold pack this morning... It was my favorite helmet in halo 3. Now I have the full security set in Halo 5.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Time for the real question.

Red or Green??

Green, gives me a Mayaincatec vibe. Very chic.

 

[Gravemind IV]

I splaser a banshee, its debris kills me, nets a suicide. I literally get spawned over a chasm, and I get kicked for too much suicides.

Fuck this. What a disaster.

 

[Ensoul]

Agree 100%. How can 343 justify there are only 4 maps for team slayer while black ops 3 has 12 maps? Players simply are not going to stay interested in the game very long.

Seems to me that that multiplayer was an after thought.

 

[Poodlestrike]

I'm sorry, but that is fucking hilarious.

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

I hadn't gotten the chance to use it till last night but close to mid range the Carbine is a beast.

It fires so fast that I was tearing people apart with it in Warzone last night.

Also, screw people that don't play the objectives.

 

[Madness]

That actually sounds pretty funny. Reminds me of the old Halo bugs, remember riding a ghost in Reach on hemorrhage and all of a sudden slingshotting like 2000 feet away in the water? I mean the kick for suicide is dumb, but I'd have cracked up laughing if the Banshee splattered me after I Splaser it.

Hahahaha holy shit that's amazing. You should go back and get video of this.

May god have mercy on whoever does get into your vehicle if they do end up putting it in the game. but why would you do it? especially in warzone? but the transport warthog would fix a problem i have with warzone and that's the time it takes to get a group of people to take a base or take down a boss.

 

[def sim]

So what does gaf think about my spartan >>?

It looks just like mine.

p boring. cool visor though

 

[cackhyena]

Try Destiny

I have.

 

[Eric WK]

I thought the Blops 3 beta was pretty damn awful, too bad I'm in the minority.

Personally, I'm dumbfounded anyone is playing that series after this many yearly iterations.

But what the hell do I know?

 

[GravyButt]

Just got a card called Frag Expert in a silver pack. Says I start with 3 frags now. Cool. Didn't know that existed. Is it permanent/does it automatically equip?

Also, any way to tell what cerifications I have left to get? I have quite a few already just wondering if it's worth it to make the jump from silver to gold now at this point.

 

[Eric WK]

You can turn it on once you reach Req level 5 in a match. It's permanent, not one time use.

 

[DJ Gunner]

Last night, my buddy and I are running slayer games. He loses connection to xbl in two successive games. In the third, he sets the controller down to change a diaper, gets kicked for inactivity, and earns a seven hour matchmaking ban.

 

[GravyButt]

Ahh sweet. Glad I asked then! Not a game changer since frags are so easy to come by from corpses but still cool none the less.

It's an armor mod, you need to equip it in-game like any other piece of loadout.

As for certs... not sure. Check your collection tab. If you've still got common certs left to find, you're still better off buying Silvers and Bronzes.

 

[Ferny]

Sounds like an armor mod that you gotta enable once you have enough REQ points I think.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

But what the hell do I know?

Each and every Black Ops version was great. III looks to be just as good if not better from what i've played and seen personally.

That said... it doesn't "replace" Halo for me at all. Both scratch a certain online MP itch.

 

[Ramirez]

I accidentally killed myself in WZ the other day, then hijacked a Wraith and he drive us off the mountain and it booted me for suicides, lol. I just laughed it off.

 

[Eric WK]

Ahh sweet. Glad I asked then! Not a game changer since frags are so easy to come by from corpses but still cool none the less.

Yeah, there are other ones, too. I have that one and increased shields. Use both depending on the situation. The frag one is nice for completing the frag commendation if you haven't yet, though.

 

[AGoodODST]

In terms of the skulls, can you quit out the stage after finding them or do you have to complete it?
