Orion atm. 4 more will be added tomorrow as well as the shotty snipers playlist.
Also, are you using one of the preset sensitivity curves on the Elite?
I cant even open the app on the xbox to change anything. It gets stuck in a failing to update loop. I'm glad its not just my imagine at least, thanks.

I find it really satisfying getting kills with the Magnum for some reason.

Hahaha story of my life!! Although I had a pretty good match streak last night, went positive for about 15 matches in a row, I think I'm beginning to get the hang of it.

Need Forge news!
I can't wait to get into map making again. I loved creating competitive maps, and with the new movement options, the potential is limitless. Plus I'm pretty confident I can do better than Orion and Pegasus...maybe.
Went and revisited some of my earlier creations this morning.
A BTB map I made called Odyssey to reimagine Paradiso - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dCf9-pRXzk - I thought it played great for BTB.
Another map more designed for 4 v 4 with vehicles called Elysium - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7bTb2gKoac
Bart's Chapel - Shishka said he couldn't put this one in MM because it may offend religious groups. Shame! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtf4E70YIOU
Bart's Manor - First ever community made map to make it into matchmaking - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jvDGED0dYU
Tartarus - another competitive map - http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?cid=20840
Kingdom -handpicked by Ghaleon when he was a community cartographer. https://youtu.be/3KSZYXTNMOY
I probably won't revisit any of these, as Halo 5's move set is so different. But I can't wait!

Man, warzone teams can be so fucked up at times. Entire team runs past the elites on the beach at Apex, I had to fucking mop them up myself. They lose spire because they got to armory 30 seconds late. You know it's a loss.
And by god tone down the AR/SMG. Disgusting high reward low effort guns, especially the SMG.

That moment when you are having the most INTENSE FFA of all time in ranked and you are winning, doing so many things right then -ITS TIME TO UPDATE- knocks me out of my game and forces me to go offline or update the console...
Why again is it mandatory to do it right this minute? why cant i just update when i want? a simple notification of "update available" is more than enough microsoft -_-
Just got out of my losing rut to lol for that to happen when it did.
im raging.

So just a quick "Sniffy" update on the game for me.
Campaign was solid, I want to find out what happens next in the story, people without good backstory however are likely lost the entire time =/
My main gripe for campaign was a certain
and maybe the lack of Blue team since Osiris was pretty meh aside from Buck. I can see myself playing legendary and seeking out the data/skulls in another play through. Co-op was fun with my wife and we had a ton of hilarious wipes where we noob died trying to save each other >.<
Oh and the AI was fucking trash unless you specifically guided them, I have no clue what they do when left alone but it isn't anything useful lmfao.
Multiplayer is a really big love/hate thing for me. I like the weapons, the impact and feeling of weight with everything. The ability to use various vehicles is really fun. The bad however for me are really wearing on me, to the point where I doubt I'll stick around for more MP.
-Aiming is really messed up vs anything I've ever played with a gun, it was instantly noticeable for me and I am glad there's plenty of proof to back up that something is off and it's not just me lol
-Latency/Matchmaking issues have pretty much ruled out Arena for me, I can't stand the teleporting, being killed around corners and needing 15 shots to kill someone point blank. Titanfall gave me the choice and allowed me to see which data center had the fastest connection. Whatever they are doing here is bad, and when I want to be competitive I can't because the servers are giving a massive "home" advantage. Arena is also ridden with players that leave matches and completely screw their team in doing so, I had several qualifying matches where I was solo even vs 4 others. It was the exact opposite of fun, and I hope those jerks get perma-banned or something in the afterlife.
-Maps, some are fun, most are really bland circular path based, crowded messes =( If you can't respawn without being next to people something is wrong with the map design. I think sprint didn't help the matter since we can all football player our way around and use our faces as a weapon of speed and destruction.
-REC packs, ok these were addicting as hell at first and fun.....but then after my 50th silver pack and still only having mongeese? and ghosts to ride around and seeing the enemy team coming over with tanks and scorpions etc. yeah not fun anymore... I also got lots of neat helmets and visors and armor, to make my character feel unique, however the only mode this matters is FFA, which is 8 players in a tight can full of murder... I feel like just another red/blue npc in the sea of red/blue players with battle rifles blaring hoping for a random kill.
-AI as mentioned in Campaign is also utter shit in PVP! They shoot at walls/ceilings, and shoot at dead bodies 30 seconds after they went down, they must operate in their own universe or something because they are by no means a part of the battle at hand and pretty much kill the immersion instantly.
Overall I am pretty disappointed, the campaign was good aside from the minor complaints but multiplayer which is the meat of the game just feels like a big letdown, with arena being a mess for me between latency, aiming and quitters, I migrated to Warzone and it just doesn't play out as well as I had hoped. The is nothing random to the boss spawns, boss kills get stolen by opposing team snipers, spawn points can be downright idiotic at points, REC system is creating an imbalance in the field. Everything in every mode feels repetitive as hell, and non-organic.
I made it to rank 31+ and gave it a fair shot but ultimately MP is a let down imho. They have some brilliant ideas here but nothing is really coming together as a whole. Hopefully with some tweaks/patches/updates/maps things will improve.
There is nothing for me in MP but frustration and a grind for more REC points at this time =(
Sniffy-117 out!

10:30 in the morning here in Europe and I am playing with americans, sigh.
Seeing our team get pushed out their own armory at the start of ARC is just sad. Enemy starts with three base lead, holy fuck.

I just finished Halo 4 yesterday. However, I just realised there are books and graphic novels etc so is there anything I should read before playing 5? How does the TV episodes (nightfall) fit into the story and should I watch that first? Or am I just good to start playing 5 based on what I know from 4?

Watch the spartan ops cutscenes. Apart from that you're good.

Because it's the devil.
Also, what the fuck, Xbox, two games in a row the Netflix app opened on its own while in the middle of my game! Is this a known issue?
Way too open in SWAT with the way the spawns are now. Like spawn killing is so bad. I don't mind the spawns as much as some people do on other maps, but on that one, its so god damn bad.
Also really easy to choke an opposing team out. Force them all into the grassy part. They'll keep spawning there, and you can just keep picking them off from above. You won't get all 50 kills this way, but you will get a winning advantage.

I had the tensest halo 3 match on this map - it was the map I (eventually) got my team slayer 50 on thanks to that memorable match
Good times

You know I was in love with Kingdom. Great arena style map in Reach and I didn't even like Reach that much. Look forward to seeing what new maps you come up with in Halo 5.
EDIT: Ahh boo. Bungie.net videos are no longer rendered or available to watch. Had some of my favorite games ever in Reach on Kingdom.

Well, with BLOPS 3 out now, it will be interesting to see how the multi-player community holds up.
Personally, I am not going near COD this year. Enjoying Halo far too much. It also meant that both Battlefront and R6 will likely not be purchased until next year either.

Question: now there's an API for the game would it be possible to like... make a web customs browser, where maybe you can filter by gametype or maps all the custom matches being played.
You check the numbers of players in the match, you check the host too and just proceed to join them or send the host a join request or whatever?

I'm going to split my time for sure - I am actually annoyed that 343 held back so much only to release it the same weekend blops came out.
If I hadn't burnt out on halo already I may of been in the mindset that I only needed one game
I don't hate on their decision and get why they did it - but sadly it backfired on me - it will be interesting to see if it works on other people. I do suspect though that the casuals who are uninformed would be of the mindset that halo only has 4 maps and will jump ship immediately

I think out of all the maps I made, Elysium was my favourite - I loved the Warthog routes and that on-foot was still viable. The one design I may revisit. Maybe.
I like Kingdom for what it was, but my lord it was so Grey. Damn you Reach!
Glad you guys enjoyed them though. I have no map design knowledge, and I never really jot down ideas on paper or anything. I just go with my gut.

Core destroyed at 10 min, 187-1000. Good game to get thrown in while in progress.
Played warzone for well over a day now and haven't gotten a single legendary req. Best I got was an ultra rare deadeye armor..
