Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

So which mode is the more popular one, Arena or Warzone? What made me even consider Halo 5 in the first place was Arena as it looks so dope. Do GAF have a private lobby for Arena sometimes?
 
are certifications completely random? does spartan rank actually affect what you can get? for example if i am only sr10 does getting a bunch of packs mean i wont get certain things?

I cant seem to find info about this :/ does sr affect ANYTHING in this game?
 
What the hell did they do to the art style of Halo? Ever since 4 it looks like they tried their hardest to suck the life out of it. It just looks like some generic sci fi shooter now with shit filters on it.


Agreed, one of the main complaints I have with 4/5 is the ugly art style (imo). The art style was probably one of the things that made me such a big Halo fan playing CE.

I hate what they've done to the Jackals. :(
 
Get disconnected from a warzone match, top of the screen says Waiting to join a match in progress...

But I can't actually rejoin my fireteam, so I'm just sitting here waiting for him to finish the match. Lame. Why the hell can't I reconnect to the match.

Someone likely joined in progress quicker than you did, they took your spot.
 
So is there a reason that only like 4-5 maps are in swat and slayer playlists?

It's because there are pretty much only 4-5 non-breakout maps in the first place. Sure, there's a couple more than that, but they don't look or feel all that different from one another.

I find it kinda odd the breakout maps aren't in the rotation. Some of them would make for pretty cool slayer/objective games.
 
It's enough to make an objective man cry, go vote at this link, only if you're gonna vote CTF :)

I'm voting for shotty snipers. Damn, that playlist will bring back epic memories for me.
 
WTF is with people crouching in Breakout? there's no radar idiots!!

Footstep sounds, very little ambient sounds in breakout. If you have surround or headphones it's pretty easy to hear the direction a close enemy is in. I found myself crouching two or three times when I knew an enemy was around last night.

That or they are in fact idiots
 
Crouching reduces weapon spread

I'm talking about hiding behind stuff.


so, FUCK YOU BREAKOUT. I kicked ass in my placing and I get Bronze I? WTF. My last game I got completely fucked with one person quitting and me carrying everyone and placement totally fucks me. I'm livid.

I'm beginning to think multi is a waste of time if you don't have a group that constantly plays together.
I feel like this 50% of the time. Awesome gameplay but it is not solo friendly at all, especially in Arena.

I guess it's normal for Halo but idk, game is in real need of some kind of social playlist and I say this as someone who is normally all about competitive mp. Feel like I can only relax playing this when I play Warzone and the 3 maps are already old, along with some of the wonkier mechanics and scoring.

Arena is great but if you are playing on your own or not to the best of your ability (sweaty, which isnt always fun) it just isn't worth it.

The menu font is puzzling as well. It looks like something that would be used by some crappy RainMeter skin. It doesn't fit at all.
This this and this! Yes, I hate the metallic, the af, the fog and the general shades used. Even though halo 3 also had bad af it just feels so much nicer. Going from the pit to the halo4 versions is such a strain and feels so wrong. Heretic looks better and more clean compared to how hard it is to see on truth


I beg 343 to change their shades to allow for the bungee art style with simole and clean clarity. Please remove the fog and please take out the bloom foggy lighting. Also please take out the visual noise on my visor from lights. And while your at it reduce the blur on my screen from nades or lifts way way down as well. Please...

Fuck no. Halo 4-5 have some of the most cutting edge future forward looking production design in gaming. Hell I just ordered the art book for Halo 5 and Destiny today. Besides 343 is taking and expanding on what Bungie started with Halo Reach which scrubbed a lot of Halo 2 and 3 and finally got their look organized. Speaking of Destiny as much as I like the look of it there is a ton of very abstract and austere choices in there as well.

In Halo 5 the lighting is amazing in many environments in MP. The Rig has some incredible sunset lighting coming in. Fathom has fantastic bounce and ambient light. Games don't need to be crystal clear at all times. There is inconvenience in battle due to lighting. It is a design choice. You start pulling out effects and the game is going to look ultra plain.
 
Just made a crazy long range plasma pistol emp on a phaton, causing it to fall too low, out of the map. Still got destroyed.

I'm having fun playing solo, it's the way I always play online most of the time. Only time I played with friends was on customs doing random shit or forging in splitscreen while occasionally hopping on some social playlists.

Remembering my times on the Lone Wolf playlist of H3 makes me think I don't enjoy FFA in H5 that much cause of the maps. They're too freaking small, as if the game isn't faster as it was back in the day already!
 
I admit I only played one game of it but I wasn't feeling how spread out it was. Hope btb is more like Halo btb. Still wish for some nice objective maps good for 4v4 also.

move to warzone assault. It's a much better mode. Just don't expect to use anything about level 5/6 as it's much shorter.

It looks terrible... How can people say it looks better when it hinders gameplay. I don't care if it's more realistic. I can't see shit. Also the metallic just look over saturated. Fuck it, if they keep this style for halo 6 and im sure they will I'm going to another game for my mp for sure.


I have been a halo only player for mp most my life. But I'm tired of this shit for real.

I'm not saying that doesn't suck buuuuut, if you are as good as you think you are then you should have no problem advancing.
 
Warzone's only fun when you have a big party. Assault is better solo if you're on Defense or Attacking a very dumb team.

I prefer the more focused combat of BTB but I dunno how it'll play in this game yet. Haven't really liked BTB since H3

I am going to guess for players like you and me they will fuck it up. But I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Halo 3 BTB is GOAT. SandTrap is GOAT tier BTB map
 
I know I'm just pissed in the moment. Hopefully I'll get better teammates moving forward
Don't expect that. I have a bad connection and high ping and they never let me party with anyone. So I play every game alone. Lose all the time. Had more kills than my whole team many times and rank down.
