Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

The new mechanics and movement would prevent this from happening. Maps would need to be redesigned with Halo 5 gameplay in mind (like Truth).

Edit: But BTB coming in 10 days sounds really nice, even if the maps are Forged. Being inspirations from previous BTB maps, they should at least be decent.

Direct porting the assets, the 3d models and textures, is very simple. However, adapting the playspace to the updated sandbox and ambient sfx/vfx is anything but.

I'd imagine.

With sprint, clamber, boost and more they would all be instantly broken- hence inspired by- they all need tweaks for those aspects alone.

Some of the best maps wouldn't work in the Halo 5 sandbox. Valhalla and Blood Gulch are such examples where the cross mapping fire ruins all map flow. Ragnarok was bad for this reason, that and the Mantis putting a nail in map movement. Though a couple maps with their sight lines and movement would still work such as Waterworks and Sidewinder. Headlong should work fairly well too, but that forge map is quite ugly.

Thanks for the replies.
As long as the maps play good i will ignore the looks but i really hope we get non forged BTB maps in the future.

The insinuation folks are getting from BTB launching with an all Forge map line up, is that any and all future BTB maps from 343 will be similar Forge maps.

There's no statement on way or the other on non-Forge BTB content so folks are making assumptions.
 
Reqs are the things I'm liking to keep an eye out for.
So far the next set, I dunno eh.

I can see we're getting new light rifle flavours which is great, I like those req variants.
Two variants per vehicle? Since one of the two seems to be a vehicle skin at least judging by the Scorpion, eh.

New assassination, nice.
A bunch more armour, ugh, I can't believe I'm saying this but Halo 5 literally has too much armour. People were bemoaning loss of customization but turns out there is quantity in spades.

Looking forward to new weapons and vehicles specifically. Hopefully the new LRs are a joy.

There's not enough armor until we get Mk IV and V. ;)

Well fortunately we sort of just found out "one way or the other" in the very post you quoted.
 
I'm on mission 13 of this game. How many more hours do I have left do you think? Playing on normal.

Trying to figure out if it's feasible to finish this before Fallout comes out. I heard it was lengthy.
 
Since there will be 15 dlc maps by June, this would be my ideal map count for these gametypes:

Btb - 5 maps

Warzone- 3 maps

Arena - 7 maps

I couldn't disagree with more. This is easily the best a Halo campaign has ever been. Level design has never been better, the gameplay and options available to the player in combat has never been more diverse and fun. The weapons have never felt better. The enemy AI is the best of the series as far as I'm concerned. The story was pretty damn amazing and the characters were handled quite well all around. Halo 6 is going to be something else, that much is obvious from this game.
Click to expand...

What? The characters are barely that. Locke may be more of a bore than MC. He has no personality, no identity, no charisma. He is another military puppet, he may as well be a goddamn drone. I know nothing about any of the side characters and none of them say or do anything that would make me care about their outcomes.

The Cortana situation is this strange HER/2001 mashup that doesn't resolve itself in and contains no surprises. The dialog is rote and 1 dimensional. Standards for storytelling in gaming are beneath the ground. Transformer movies have better narratives than this and they're essentially 3 hour long video game cutscenes.
 
me getting the DMR so early should be a crime lmao

So is this confirmation that we will get new maps for BTB and Arena outside of Forge maps and remixes?

You don't have to be so slick and mysterious when you very well know that simple, direct answers can alleviate concerns lol. Allowing people to assume the worst, and further allowing that skepticism to build is what hurts you guys. "Yes there will be dedicated BTB and Arena maps like you saw in previous Halo map packs" or "No, we are focusing on highly tuned Forge maps and remixes as DLC." Instead, being so coy about things only leads to further mistrust and gaming media outlets calling you liars.

I understand game development is complicated, much like many other things in life, but is it really asking too much for direct answers for things that shouldn't be mysterious? It's either you guys have them in the pipeline or you don't, and if you don't then let us deal with that now instead of the constant backlash you'll receive whenever there's something fresh for you to talk about.

And I don't mean this to sound offensive or anything negative of the sort. I'm just concerned because you guys put yourselves into positions that could have been avoided with better transparency, in my opinion. People fear the UNKNOWN, so the less you allow Halo fans to let their pessimistic minds run, the better. It's like when CTF was revealed with no details on auto pickup and dropping the flag. It took days, if not weeks for that to be answered, all while the community was fighting with itself, fueling the lurking trolls waiting to say "I told you Halo sucks!"
 
Anybody else suffering from lag now?

In Australia and we keep getting paired with Americans? What gives? Wasn't like this before the playlist update..?
 
I wonder how long sustain will be. Plans change all the time, but from what I've read so far, seems maps and REQ'S will be coming for at least 8 months. Beyond that is anyone's guess. They never planned Champions DLC for Halo 4 at the start (wasn't part of the season pass), so who knows.

This...

Back when they announced BTB wasn't coming until a few weeks after launch. I ASSUMED that would include some in-house maps... I thought that was a valid assumption because USUALLY AAA game modes don't launch exclusively with user created content... But you know what they say about assuming...

Now I feel pissed off, and the whole thing could have been avoided. How hard is it to say "we're working on BTB, but it's not quite finished yet. We plan to debut it with a few community Forge maps in Mid Novemeber. Also we'll include some 343i built maps to the playlists once they are completed. We are aiming for <insert date>." ? Had they said something like that then, I Wouldn't have been anticipating this blog post so heavily, and I also wouldn't be so damn disappointed right now...

This drop feeding of disappointing information is not working!

They'll probably be 6 for warzone. They'll just forge the three into assault variants.

I swear, if they do that and claim that is 6 Maps, I will be super pissed.


Battlefield 4's Siege of Shanghai:

- Normal Version.
- Rush Version.
- TDM Version.

DICE Counts this as: 1 Map.


Halo 5's Raid on Apex 7:

- Raid on Apex 7.
- Array for Assault Mode.


343 Counts this as: 2 Maps.


...SMH.


But hey, another DMR Skin in November for my DMR which don't exist.

Just let them execute on their content plan. It takes 3 years to make a mainline Halo game. 343 knows that is a long time and if they want to keep the game with a long tail to fill in this next long while. They can't tell you everything as doing so creates even more expectation and if for one reason a date slips or a feature never makes it, it is worse as then they have an entire community annoyed at them.

This is an awesome response.

However, the fan trolling/bickering equals engagement, which MS PR sees as a good thing. =(

Kind of like how getting a dislike on YouTube means people are engaging with your content.

Live is out right now, if you can connect at all you will be matched to some way off place because no one here can get on. Hahaha.
 
First set of BTB maps look to be a bit of a mixed bunch. Looks like Forge works great for natural settings with smaller bases, but doesn't do so hot at fully-urban environments. Deadlock and Basin look great, and Recurve looks decent enough, but Guillotine just looks kinda bad.

DMR skin lol.
Is the DMR even in the game? Cause I'm not too sure about that now.

Anyway, favourite Reqs so far?
The ONI scorp is killer.
Voids Tear is also quite cool and fun!

I got my DMR at like SR10 or so ¯\_(&#12484;)_/¯

And yeah, it's pretty fucking great
