Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

Spawn and get caught in between a firefight. What do you expect with these crappy tiny arena maps and booster equipped unlimited sprint Spartans. Especially bad in FFA. To all you ppl who think everything's just fine and dandy and that its just because there's a "higher skill gap" (rofl), enlighten me, how do I "situational-awareness" my ass out of these situations ^_^
I feel ya. I don't think I've met anyone who thinks that FFA is good right now. Too many people running on the map. I think 4 or 5 would be best, personally.
 
I might have to try that. I've not had any major issues with aiming at 6... the past 80% stick press movement is horribly jerky... but inside that is sweet. Just tricky at times controlling the stick to keep it inside the 80% RoM esp with the huge deadzones.

Does this insane aim speed increase still happen at 80% of stick movement when down on that low of a sensitivity? Hows the inner "target acquisition" aiming field with 3?

I really hope they address the deadzone and acceleration issues. It my by far my biggest issue with the game aside from the maps and rotation of maps.

I havent played FFA in the playlist, but, 8 player FFA looks like might be the problem, I remember Halo 3 was 6 player in FFA ", so if you are playing small maps 6 should fix it, i have played a lot of FFA custom with a 6 to 7 player count and the result are what you expect based on everyone skills.
 
Have they mentioned why some of the beta maps are not coming up in team slayer?

Nope. They just said they'll reevaluate based on feedback...

Hopefully there isn't some strange vocal minority thanking 343i for randomly excluding maps from slayers...
 
On a completely unrelated thing: the first mission of Black Ops 3 happens on
October 27th, 2065, exactly 50 years after the launch of Halo 5 lol.
 
Its worries me that the lack of maps in the game is going to be a reason for people exiting the game early. I think is the problem everyone universally agree here.
 
No they have not and it makes zero sense.

There are 5 maps in the team slayer playlist. FIVE.

4 I believe

This thread on HaloWaypoint sums up my frustration with the aiming.


HaloWaypoint

Theoretically, I love Halo 5, but the aiming and map selection is garbage. Some people love it, I hate it. Definitely not relearning how I play shooters for one game. Still don't get why they couldn't make it similar to other Halo games.

Why change what's not broken?
 
Have installed the game already but is waiting for the rest of the demoes, games and apps to install as well. Wow is the Xbox One slow at installing. =/
 
Not just lack of maps, but the fact that Orion sucks donkey balls.

Orion is such a shit campfest just got smacked with towey and flamesword on my team, lmao. HOW DOES THIS MAKE IT INTO THE GAME

Orion is probably the worst map i've ever had the displeasure to play on in any online FPS. I still have no idea how it made it into final release alongside some really well done maps. Ok well all 4 or 5 of the maps lol.

Who was on the other team? Pros are Pros no matter if the map is hot garbage, so that other team was probrably either Pros or a team of semi.

Orion still sucks tough.

I'm enjoying the game but I just preordered blops 3 yesterday because of this. Feels like I've already done everything I want to do in this game already. I need more maps and game types.

I absolutely LOVE Halo 5... but i'm doing the same... BLOPS3 as there isn't much to do in H5 Arena multiplayer section right now. I play 5 matches in a row and 1/3 are the same thing. Fuck off lol. I'll now be splitting my time.

I feel you man, Im more of the what my friends are playing type right now, but hopefully 343 will deliver with Maps, I also hope the new DLC is not introducing just 3 new maps.

And Please 343, we need a permanent unranked social dlayer playlist.

just pre-ordered blops 3 on my ps4 too. Love halo, but some maps and the variety of the mp...meh.

actually had not plan to buy another game in 2015 and to only play halo.
 
2 onyx randies, unranked, and i think a diamond

Two of my friends are Onyx "randies" that when they had their team in Halo 3 used to play head to head against pro teams in the MLG playlist, it will surprised you the amount of pro level caliber player that are unknown in Halo (gamebatles warriors for example).

Can someone confirm what the actual map count is for Team Slayer? I believe there are 6 maps, but the Waypoint launch details page is wrong and I'm not sure what the current map list is. Pre-launch, Waypoint has the TS map list as:

Coliseum, Plaza, The Rig, Truth, Regret, Fathom

But I'm pretty sure Truth isn't in TS and I have yet to see Regret. I know Orion is in there though and it's not on this list.

Can someone confirm what the actual current list is for TS?

Also, why the hell can you get Team Slayer on Empire in Team Arena, but not Team Slayer on Empire in Team Slayer?? (from what I've read)
 
I understand that in Warzone Assault the spawns cannot be flipped considering the defending team pretty much spawns at the 2nd capture point at the start but something needs to be done about the spawning.

Several matches I played last night had large parties of defenders just pushing into the spawn right from the start.
 
I'm surprised I've heard all these complaints about AR starts but I haven't heard anyone complain about how OP the SMG. That thing is a beast at close range, seriously I feel dirty using it... It's like a shotgun except if you miss your first shot you can easily recover.


Also I love orion even though it looks like shit

Admittedly the lack of maps is a problem, but I vastly prefer the gameplay (style) of Halo over Call of Duty =( Hoping this population drop isn't too severe. Playing with randos is still shit.

honestly I am afraid to write something like that. usually the response is "get better".

the SMG killed me so many times..can't believe it xD

I prefer halo too! I love halo, Halo is an somehow important part of my life. But the MP has some flaws and the flaws take a lot of fun away from the game for me. So to get a MP fix, I'll play BO3 as a filler. Balanced Weapons are nice but if I have to play one more time on Orion, I'll vomit on my controller.

Maybe because SMG are a map pick up, which I think like that is fine.

i feel the same, and was thinking about blops 3 and probably will end up getting it, but that multiplayer beta just wasnt fun to me
 
Im getting blops 3 but when I play swat in this I realize how much I hate these low TTK fps games so it'll likely be zombies and campaign only there.

I just find that style of play infuriating and rewards people who camp in a corner looking for easy kills. Plus those "superpowers" just remind me of destiny... Bleh.

The call of duty beta convinced me to pre order as the gameplay is really fun

Switching between halo and cod will be great for me - I think I'll play halo when people I know are on and cod solo

It means I'll be playing a whole lot less halo but that's fine as I have already played loads

The real problem is balancing gaming and life now that I'm not in uni. Two big fps games are going to be hard to balance

Basically my thoughts as well.

Almost halfway through my single-player Legendary run, and fuck me those Wardens are awful on this difficulty.

Typical 343 playlist management...

I never played Coliseum in slayer and know 100% Truth isn't in the playlist unfortunately.

It has the maps you listed minus Truth, and it's getting oh my nerves. Makes zero fucking sense. Hell Team Arena has Empire Slayer but the TS playlist doesn't? Why? How?

coliseum, plaza, rig, Orion, and fathom.

Edit: and regret. So six maps.
 
I know the fast paced-ness is on purpose, but even with a solid team calling out being set up, still CONSTANTLY getting shot in theback/side/out of nowhere. Real annoying.

Does this insane aim speed increase still happen at 80% of stick movement when down on that low of a sensitivity? Hows the inner "target acquisition" aiming field with 3?

I feel like it's less likely to get caught in the loop of adjustment to aim -> acceleration kicks in due to sudden flick -> repeat. Sure close range is still jittery at times, but so far I am having less of a struggle.

Still think that this should be one of their top priorities though.

Yep, for me the time to kill is slightly too fast, especially since it's very easy to get the drop on someone with the reduced motion tracker range and faster movement speed + sprint and thrust.

Sometimes I get killed and I don't even see how it happened, I just suddenly drop.

I need to check my theather and see that, because I must admit in some maps enemies pop out of nowhere. Its either bad spawns or Im getting ambush by camping players.
