Honestly from my experience it all evens out pretty nicely... Sometimes you'll play with plebs, quitters, or guys who are really good. The only thing you can control is the way you play, if your good enough you can overcome a lot of these things you'll end up where you belong eventually.

Cool thanks for posting.
You even phrase it as your opinion, and I can't argue with how you feel about it, but it's mathematically unsound.
I love this themed content update direction. BTB, Skins, Armor, new Assassinations, etc.
Psyched for the classic update that brings Halo CE pistol, SPNKR rocket, Classic maps, etc.
Definitely promising start to their sustain plan for Halo 5

Great! More Mongoose variants! /s
Whatever, though, I'm super excited for some BTB!

I've only put 5 hours into Arena compared to 18 hours each in Warzone and Campaign. Don't think I've even played Pegasus.
You can go look at your stats to see how rarely it happens compared to say, assassinations or other melee attacks.

bruh i want this so bad
but i can't even get one assassination
Lol that's fucking boss.
Nice update 343. Can't wait for btb. Please say that there will be assault on the new headlong remake... Or ctf at least.
Hey Frankie, can we expect the Gamehub feed on the Xbox one for Halo 5 to be updated regularly? I really like how The Coalition is constantly updating the feed for Gears UE and it would be a cool way to get people more involved.

I actually want to turn it off - I've triggered it accidentally a couple of times and died because of it
Maybe I'm wrong but I assume we can't turn it off?
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.
No wonder I die so quickly sometimes.

What is the source of that amour art?

Love to loot stuff in the game! It's something that I wanted in Halo since so much time as an RPG lover (Halo RPG someday 343i please!) but sadly I don't like the concept of Warzone where we have to buy my weapons/vehicles with cards but for appearance I love that.
I could really play infection/objectives/BTB/Rocket Race all my life unlocking stuff. Please Frankie tell me that Infection and some other legacy gametypes are planned to come back in H5?
I would also really like a "classic" playlist without any spartan abilities at all but I guess this would never happen because it could be indirectly "against" the new gameplay that H5 offer.

It's rare for me to get a kill with it because I usually play conservative unless its a Ground Pound opportunity (I have like 3x as many GP kills than SC in my short time playing). And, if I use it, it's usually to kill shields instead of expecting a kill. And I whiff it a lot
Isn't this kind of disingenuous? Spartan Charge doesn't usually kill but it does wipe out shields. The actual kill would come from a follow-up pistol or AR bullet in most cases.

I agree, we need more playlists that can contribute to our XP and RP other than Arena or Warzone.
We need that Social selection.
I really hope that Sneak Peek, was only a fraction of the full update incoming....
Team Fiesta! - Spwaning with a random weapon is so fun. Espcially now since we have so many varients now. Be cool to see what weapons i can unlock and how they function, similar to how you can use the Random Cards in Warzone.

Some hot Halo 5 ground pound action for you. My favorite new mechanic in the game, no doubt.
Not really, he was responding to a post specifically about kills with it.

Variants aren't allowed in Forge (if I can remember correctly), which seriously sucks. Also Warzone yoinking. Hopefully these issues are fixed.
Probably won't hear anything until the next big content update (which I assume will be the Forge one in December.)
On the other hand I feel like we're due some more arena maps before then.
That Void Dancer armor looks sweet.
Kills as a result of it, really. It instantly drains shields (and some health?), after which a couple of AR bullets anywhere on the body will kill. The AR actually did the killing, but the "cheap and easy kill" can be seen as the result of the Charge.

This is one of the thing that scare me, we have now finally variants and unique legendary weapons. I could recreate the CE slayer with the CE pistol (coming soon with hammer and spnkr) but I'm scared that I will not be able to enjoy the Halo sandbox because of the concept of Warzone and micro transaction.
Also the warzone maps should be in forge, they can even be easily cut in pieces for BTB like Bungie did with Reach some could be amazing in BTB.
ALL GLORY TO FRANKIE 
anyone get the PROFILE SYNC ERROR?
cant access any of my unlocks, Spartan has reverted back to original outfit and everything.

Frankie, I understand you guys making the game you want to make. You are right, it's just my opinion. I just feel that there was a flow to Halo games. Halo 5 is good, and has a flow all its own, but it doesn't feel like a halo game in many areas. I just feel like you guys didn't innovate on what made Halo great, you guys just stuck a bunch of modern shooter mechanics into the game because you felt you had to, and did the best to make them all work in a halo sandbox.
That's just me though. Many people obviously like it, despite some of its shortcomings, and only time will tell if it will stand up. I'll try to stop seeming to cut it down, but I'm not going to jerk it off either. Good job on the improvements from 4 though. This game is leagues and bounds better than 4. You guys have come a long way.

YO, i really want the Shinobi Armor... probably skip the Helmet with it's big ears. It could have been great.... maybe they are saving the awesome helmet for when the Samurai edition comes out

You are not crazy, that is messed up, and I appreciate that you're sharing a clip of your frustration. I encourage everyone else shitting on 343 / Halo 5 to actually back their complaints up with clips/footage so that we can take 'em seriously.
I have been lucky enough to have buttery smooth matches from day one. I'm at level 50 and still loving every minute of Arena matchmaking. Haven't run into any nonsense kills/deaths like that one, looks like something out of CoD.

Shinobi armor is bitching, but shinobi helmet is hideous.
Also like Freebooter and Void Dancer, that's some good stuff.

anyone else think they should allow custom games for Warzone and Warzone Assault?
Is your wallet ready?
Only if the pro team approves.

Call it the I Don't Keep It Loaded, Son update
Stealing this realisation from Reddit, but with the naming of the content updates, you have to think they're going to add all the Halo CE REQs in one update. Rocket launcher, CE pistol, Mark V armour...
Good point, and that'd make sense if they're doing loosely thematic bundles.

Then a Halo 2 content update called "Bet'cha cant stick it" then Halo 3: "Did you really finish the fight?" Halo 4: "Why is Cortana screaming?" Halo 5 Beta: "It was better this way" aannd i suck at jokes...
move along people, nothing here to see.
To me actually connecting is easy, but you're still wagering that you're a faster draw for the headshot than your opponent is (or that your shields are high enough that his automatic spray won't kill you faster.)
I'd rather stay at a safer range than try and rapidly close the distance and kill myself in the process. As you say, a slide to melee seems like it would put you out of commission for less time (would be great to see the numbers though.)
I can see it's usefulness diminishing at higher levels of play, but it's been serving me well enough as a surprise attack around corners, sometimes. Even saved one of my teammates who was like a frame away from being assassinated with a Spartan Charge to the assailant's back; was pretty satisfying

I used to think that until i seen people use it from an alarming far distance, popping my shield and then killing me. So i tried it out at certain distances to see if i barely connect at the end of the animation, their shields would pop. It workd and they ended up surprised and i'd just have to follow up. bada bing bada boom.
I think it works going around corners and performing fast back melee insta kills. like on the rig. im 40/60 as in like/dislike.
