Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

They really should have Incentivised replaying campaign missions through a daily/weekly reward system.

Am surprised there is no progression system in this game at all when it was one of the best parts about Reach. The Credit system was addictive and rewarding; anything you did gave you cR and that let you buy a slew of things, from armor and attachments to dumb stuff like effects and firefight voices. There were also the daily and weekly challenges which - while not without their own problems like forcing specific playstyles - gave players a reason to go through diferent aspects of the game each day. I looked forward to Firefight Thursdays, and I know many people who ran full parties just to chase after Inheritor. And that lasted over 2 years

Halo 4's "SR" system barely lasted a few months and now they've done away with it entirely. So now there's little incentive to go through the Campaign again, and with the way the lobbies are laid out currently, not much reason to play Arena for a skill rank either. Warzone is the only mode with a tangible payoff by way of using and unlocking REQs, but I find the progression tied to that is way less satisfying than what we had before.

For all the efforts to modernize Halo, they didn't make much progress in their investment systems.
 
-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.

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.

Why did you not buy gold packs?
That's how I get my tanks and scorpions.
 
This too. Also, campaign theater please.

Frankie - I will pay real monies to buy REQ packs if you guys put in campaign theater.

they said this is not possible because of some sequences or something like that.

oh and give us voice packs for MP. I would love a nathan fillion voice in mp to tell me "last man standing". make it 2,99€ or something like that.
 
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..
Eh, oddly enough I don't really care getting thrown into a match where my team is getting steamrolled in Warzone. I just don't use any reqs and collect my req points at the end of the match.
 
So since I'm doomed to junior till next year I can't make a thread but I'll ask here.

I love love love the multiplayer of Halo 5, gives me that adrenaline rush every time I play and very few games can do that for me. So my plan is to invest a lot of time in this game.

But, Call of Duty Black Ops 3 came out today, the impressions on the multiplayer side are positive throughout gafers and reviews alike and I've got this itchy feeling to go and buy the damn thing.

Later this month Battlefront comes out, I wanna play that too, the beta left a very positive vibe for me.

Long story short, I'm 35 yo, have very limited time for my gaming addiction and have NO FUCKING clue how to cope with all these multiplayer games. The quality of each is undeniable and wanna play them all(Halo being at the top of the list though). How do I do it? Take turns? One day for Halo, one for Cod and so on? Any advice would be welcome, I'm kinda loosing it lol.

Also, would the 3 very different game types have a negative impact on my skill/gameplay? I would think so with all the switching between games.

I bought COD and played the first mission. what an explosion fest. lol

besides that..yes take turns. for example monday is halo night, tuesday cod, and so on.
or you play what you feel like. halo and COD are so different that you will have days on which you don't want to play halo but COD and vice versa.
 
only got 662 REQ points for a 7 rounds Breakout game..that's definitely not enough.

lol first swatnums game of the day on orion XD
 
So, how likely do you think this community is to survive Black Ops 3?

Hope #WeBack

I'm sure it will be fine. I'll be over there the majority of the time now until we get a serious playlist map/mode infusion. H5 needs more maps and modes in Arena. Give me Oddball, Griffball, Juggernaut, Infection and assault... with more maps that arent just night/day/effect re-skins and fix the map rotation so they all play and are playable in each playlist...

i'd play a lot more Arena.
 
Kinda interested to see what this new Forge can do. Only really got into Forging during the Reach days and even then I only really finished two maps, of which I can say only one was anywhere near decent. Think it was called Cascade, not sure.

Never even tried the Halo 4 Forge.
 
You can charge that thing?

Holy shit. No wonder I always felt like it was just a useless weapon. What does charging it do?

I didn't know you could charge it -.-
Brb going to try it...

It becomes a sticky with cluster explosion, uses 1 ammo.

No! God no.

I swapped the sticks in the Xbox OS to a southpaw config, then switched the stick layout in game to southpaw. It functions like default, but removes the aiming acceleration that people have been having issues with.

what really? I need to try this.
 
I don't understand the hate for Orion in anything besides SWAT where the spawns seriously negatively impact the game. I just got done finishing the last three games of FFA I needed to be ranked and all three were on Pegasus, which is objectively a far worse map and is remaining in rotation. It being FFA didn't help, with spawns literally able to be camped while people are staring at you as you spawn. Then the fact that it spawns new players in your previous spawn point after you walk ten feet away only to be trapped between a newly spawned enemy you didn't expect to be there and the guy with power weapons camping in front of where you spawned.

Take this steaming pile of shit out or rotation entirely and leave Orion in for everything but SWAT imo.
 
Wouldn't the fact that you can break the map and get out of its boundaries be the reason they took it out?

Didn't even know, all i knew was take over railgun base and defend it and you would win 80% of the time.

Yeah, they definitely needed to prep people for the way they worked. It was hard to figure it out but once I did, man I'm rolling in stuff now. Good pwer weapons and just selling the rest.

Started doing this yesterday

yeah it was amazing. I had like 76 needlers piled up and while I like it in Arena matches, find it somewhat worthless in Warzone. Once I relaized all of that stuff was just sitting in there made sense to let it all go. Of course, they need a bulk sell button, but I guess we'll see that soon enough.
