So weekend playlists. Do they actually give you more XP/RP?

More XP :)

Also, everyone complaining about lag because of bad servers in Europe ... what country are you from and what is your ping in general? I see so many people complaining, yet me and my friends dont have any kind of problem. I myself played 200+- games and only ever had one instance of lag which lasted a whole 5 seconds. So maybe it depends on country? (I'm from Belgium, which is pretty close to the US in terms of distance according to other European countries.)

i also have no trouble with the aiming(sensitivity 4), seems fine by me, am Onyx in multiple playlists if that matters. I do prefer Warzone though, most fun gametype I've played in a loooong while

Yes this has been in discussion since a week ago, vertical sensitivity is low plus the horizontal axis has a terrible acceleration curve. 343 acknowledges the issue and will tune it in an upcoming update, currently there is a bandaid fix by swapping left and right stick in the Xbox One system accessory app and then switch stick to southpaw in game, this eliminate the issue partially.

Does the system accessory thing require you to hook up the controller with a cable and update it? I don't see those kind of options there. I got an Xbone for this game too but it's one of the older ones, so not with the new controller with the 3.5mm jack

I went down to 3 from my standard 5-6, it definitely felt off before that. Once you get used to the acceleration it allows you to be more competitive in close quarters than usual with low sensitivity without sacrificing accuracy.

I've had games where my grenades come out a second after I throw them and I'm on the East coast. I've been matched against people from AU and NZ too and the game hasn't lagged at all, so I dunno.

That is exactly what people are talking about. The game doesn't lag, it is the latency that is the problem. If your grenade is a second behind, then everything else is.. You can't get gud and overcome the laws of physics.

For the record in my 1day 9 hours of arena, I can only remember 2 games out of the 226 that I have played that have had lag. Everything else is smooth as a babies bottom.


But ofcourse everyone is rage posting. Smh
 
I am really enjoying the multi. I am in gold 1. I get bumped up to Gold 2, then get matched with people who have never played a FPS and then get bumped right down again. But I am enjoying it.

Warzone Wednesday was a success. Thanks Schooly D for organizing. Once you left to go get food we fell apart, but at least we fell apart in style with our kitty emblems.

Glad you had fun! It was a great night. Sorry about stepping out, but a man's gotta eat, and I'm never going back to my Hot Pockets phase. Dark, dark times. Maybe I'll find a dinner recipe that doesn't force me to choose between quitting mid-game and letting my apartment burn down.

The multiplayer is incredible. Easily the best game that I have played by a large margin. The up and down in the ranks.. I don't bother looking anymore. Although I did manage to get out of gold and into platinum solo from gold 3. If my mates hadn't have dropped this, I would be diamond now I'm sure.

Maybe because I never had fast food or another more than a frozen pizza every so often when I was a kid, but I love Hot Pockets and other prepackaged meals.

The matches were pretty close to stomp-worthy, although I think my personal record is still winning 1000-106. Good games.
 
So I got some problems with most of 343 armor sets. Helmets can be hit or miss but like 99% of the armors look like they don't protect anything at all except the chest. RIP abdomen and groin. The Mk VI (classic chief armor) is the only one I have that looks protective.

I mean the other day I got the Venture armor and it's literally an armored sports bra.

So I was banned during the Halo 5 launch due to making some comments about Carly Fiorina, but I just wanted to say that Halo 5 is gud Frankie... Very much enjoyed my legendary play through of the campaign, needs more maps on the multiplayer side of things though.

Overall, a significant improvement for me over Halo 4 though, so I'm happy.

Hey guys. New Xbone owner since a Day! Not without Halo 5 ofcourse hehe. However, I do have a problem, I don't know if it's the controller or the game...

Aiming feels.. Off. It's as if there is a delay between me pushing my thumbstick and the visor moving. Like an input lag. This really sucks because it makes the game feel like a 30fps game. I played advanced Warfare for a couple of seconds and that felt file. I never needed to adjust my looking sensitive before in a halo game ( default always), but I had to ramp it up now. It feels like the first few millimeters of my thumbstick is less sensitive. Not a dead zone, more like a less sensitive zone. Is it me or the game?

It's the game as far as I know.
Just in case check that your TV is with the "game mode" activated in case, without any picture processing that could make the TV slower for the input lag etc. and then update your controller as well but yeah even with these I also experience the same feeling when I play the game. I tried MCC with Halo 1, 2 and 3 and it was just perfect on them.
It's the new aim acceleration process introduced by the pro team from what I understand which personally I really do not like, my Spartan does not respond as quick and sharp as I would like to be.

Really? this is very interesting to me, I will try this asap. Thanks for the info.

I think the "pro team" should have a huge step back from game design.

I get all that. But the SMG is positioned as a tier 2 weapon instead of a loadout weapon. So to make obtaining it and using it of strategic importance, it has a higher rate of fire than previous iterations.

As far as not being able turn the camera, that harkens back to halo of old. It's not a new thing. The idea is that you need to communicate to figure out where enemies are located instead of the game giving you all the information. After the match, you can access the entire battle, from any angle in theater. You can't ask for better feedback than that. But to have the game essentially spell out enemy tactics in the middle of the match doesn't make you better, it handicaps you.

Halo 5 has a lot more systems at play than any other Halo, so the learning curve is steeper no doubt. I guess that's a turn off for some.
Click to expand...

Please be respectful, and don't act as though I'm some pleb who just can't hack it with all Halo 5's new systems. As far as I'm concerned, all of Halo 5's new bells and whistles actually detract from the learning curve rather than actually steepen it. There were so many small intricacies to halos sandbox that really took a lot of practice and play to learn and master. Now anyone that wants to Spartan charge some dude on his pitiful motion tracker can get kills without a second thought. I'm not turned off by the learning curve. I'm turned off by seeing them jam in things that break those intricacies, and more so by systems like aim acceleration etc that are just broken. Not being able to turn the camera is new. It's up to me when I die to extrapolate what happened and to learn, based on just panning around. IF that becomes insufficient, then I can go to theatre. Oh, and btw, every time I launch theatre, Halo 5 crashes btw.

Halo 5 pisses me off, but I'm hoping they can make it better. This game is leagues better than 4, and that's due to feedback. I'll admit, I was in a poor mood from several aspects of the game breaking down for me in succession when I did my long post, but my complaints are valid, as much as anyone else's are.
 
For how cool that update is, why the hell is it called Battle of Shadow and Light? The Shinobi armor (which looks sick) and the new Light Rifles?
 
That visor color looks very nice, and the assassination animation is great.

Still haven't unlocked LR in Warzone yet, but considering how it wrecks scoped-in during the campaign I'd love to see what a powered-up version does for sniping people.

You've never picked it up on Pegasus and Eden?
