This is true. I play alone and managed to rank from platinum up to diamond 4. Since then it's been slow so I'm guessing that's pretty close to my proper rank. Getting an Onyx playing alone will be extremely tough.

I'm the exact same. Started plat 1in both slayer and team arena. Solo queued up to diamond 2 and diamond 4 but the games are getting pretty tough.

Diamond 4 is about right for me... Especially since I dinged diamond 5 then dropped back down a couple games later

Yup, I did it in both Team Arena and Slayer so definitely not a fluke. The games get noticeably harder the higher you rank up. Seems to be working as intended.

Man I wish there were kill cams. Why is Halo community so critical on small changes? I know lot of people disliked kill cam in Halo 4 I still can't wrap my head around WHY. Just because its not Halo? that argument is so fucking dumb, its not even funny.

Nah people had legit reasons for not liking Killcam. People want to see the area around their dead body so they can communicate to their team where the enemy is and where the enemy is going.

Kill cam in Halo 4 was buggy, it was in Halo 2 aniversary, and it was taken out, I doubt the Halo hardcore fans was the reason it isnt in this game.

Because we don't need the game telling use how we died, we can figure it out for ourselves.

Shame I didn't get the kill

Spoiler

I was going for

I literally did the same thing tonight. Had the headshot all lined up and then a team jumped out in front of the shot... same fucking map too. I'll upload that video sometime.

And has anyone else been experiencing lag off and on today? My first game had a French guy talking (ended up on the other team) and it was very laggy. Grenade delays, Hit Registration delay, and Weapon Pickup delays. All the hallmarks of an out-of-region server. After that match I had some laggy games (not all, but some of them) where my shots wouldn't count correctly. Then other matches where the hit registration was crisp and smooth. Never had that since the game came out, it was weird.

Because it didn't work in H4?

I would've 100% welcomed killcams in H5 if they were accurate. I think they're a good teaching tool / a good source of rage encouragement.

Nope. Kill cams need to stay history forever.
They were in the beta and were taken out for good reason.

Even kill cam for the last kill on every match would have been cool. I don't know man, I feel like that should be in every mp fps.

Kill cam for the final kill is the only kill cam I wouldn't mind. Like Strider said, I'd rather be able to see around my dead body and communicate over seeing how a guy killed me.

So why is the CE magnum not a legendary weapon? I thought they said that was going to be a thing. I also thought they said the original rocket launcher model would be a legendary weapon. Where is that?

Optional killcams would be fine I'm just not going to agree with anyone that thinks the game would be better with them instead of what we have now

This fucking game can be so god damn frustrating at times that I just want to quit

They are coming some time post launch.

In addition to new maps, they'll be releasing new REQ content. I'm sure we'll see those eventually.

 

[daedalius]

So question for people using default controls: how? Why? Do you even halo? Zoom on left trigger? Double zoom with left trigger + some other random button? lol so bad. Check out the other options if you haven't, find real halo controls.

Helljumper seems pretty alright, but I also play a lot of destiny.

Used bumper jumper in every halo previous.

 

[BeforeU]

Breakout maps hurts my eyes. Looks so bad lol.

Helljumper works well (zoom on LT) when combined with the short-throw triggers on the Elite. Feels very responsive and I don't have to worry about messing up my aim when zooming while having the right joystick tilted during an aiming operation. One of the paddles performs the double zoom on the sniper for me.

They're not updating the model with appropriate detail? Ew.

 

[rakkadakka]

Damn, I really like the breakout forge textures.

I actually wish orion and Pegasus had that style texture palette rather than the bland garbage they have now.

 

[Granadier]

What detail would they add that would adhere to the original design?

 

[hawk2025]

The last bits of Mission 7 were SO fun without a vehicle. Lots of paths, enemies, options, turrets, launch pads everywhere, all culminating on the ending.

But MAN, are the LOD transitions weird, and it's *everywhere*. Sometimes it's not even substituting something lower quality for something with higher fidelity, there are straight up complete changes in color, lighting and where detail is that changes immediately once you cross a barrier. They should have sacrificed more alpha effects and whatever else needed for smoother LOD transitions and 60fps animations across the board IMO. Both a constant annoyance throughout the game so far. The first is just aesthetics, but the weird animations genuinely impact gameplay across campaign and multiplayer IMO.

 

[CaptainCook]

If there's a Warzone party later tonight I'm down just add me and invite me whenever. Not the best player but pretty solid. Also might not be able to chat cause girlfriends gonna most likely be sleeping right behind me.

Right? It's pretty easy to run through on Legendary as well. Plus that music gets your blood pumpin'.

 

[CitizenCope]

I got a cert for a warthog without a turret. Sweet!!

 

[daedalius]

They are trying to keep almost everything, including the animations and sfx, the same as the original. Also, the power, haha.

It will be a monster.

 

[ShadowsFell]

So I finished the campaign earlier today for the first time. I'm not sure what to think about all of this.

 

[hawk2025]

Yes! Great music during that bit, too, it's just a blast to keep pushing forward. I'm glad I didn't grab the vehicles on my first go

What a shame we can't use these legendary weapons in custom games.

 

[hawk2025]

What a shame we can't use these legendary weapons in custom games.

Or just a crazy Arena playlist that lets you use whatever you've unlocked on Warzone, kind of like The Iron Banner. I'd love that.

I suspect people might be ~~outraged~~ over it, though, because it would mean Warzone impacting Arena after all.
