Halo 6 will be GOAT if they get a better writer for their Campaign. The foundation in this game is solid and Halo 6 sounds like it'll have a lot of what they couldn't do in this game.

Not sure if you really care about reading my input, but I'll give it.
I played a lot of Halo 1/2. Never the campaigns. Just LAN and online. Loved them.
I recently got hyped for Halo 5. So I bought MCC and played through them all. I realise some of the old stuff was ground breaking I guess at the time, but I did not really enjoy much of the games til 3. I recently beat 5 and i enjoyed every mission and the art direction is beautiful. I want a rpg set in this world so bad now so i can explore it.
Multiplayer is a blast. Balanced, challenging, and addictive. It has the core mechanics it needs.
My complaints are the maps are not fun to look at. Such beautiful landscapes in the campaign that do not cross over to the MP. I hope some BTB maps will utilize some of these.
I wish the pregame lobby would let us see each other spartans. And post game lobby needs medals!
You guys didn fantastic job and just keep supporting Halo and I'm going to stick around. We will need more than 4 BTB maps though I think.
P.s. The game plays so smooth... it really makes switching between Fallout 4 and Halo 5 hard.
If it means anything to you, this is my favorite Halo since 2. I love the new mechanics, and I'm having a blast in the campaign.

anyone else in australia struggling to find games in the team arena playlist? It's the only playlist that takes a while to find a game (also the playlist that I have my highest rank)

I was a Plat 2 in team arena. Play two games of doubles and now it says I'm Plat 1.
I'm on the 4th mission of the campaign and I can't hear any of the dialog from my AI teammates.
Why you do this to me Halo? What did I ever do to you?

You guys want to see GAF irrationally hate on a game? Go make a Destiny thread. That game killed everyone's parents, apparently. It's disgusting.

no!
Energy projectiles have always suffered in damage until now, the repeater in Reach was borderline peashooter status.

Doubles is really good. Randoms should not search solo though.
The OT guys went over there.
I kid I kid.

Loving doubles, but they really should reduce the power weapons and or power ups on the maps. Having a sniper, rocket launcher, hydra, and over shield is fine for 4v4, arguably, but utterly inappropriate for 2v2. Matches seem to strictly boil down to dominating these things with few pistol pistol or br br exchanges.

I LOVE the nades. They remind me of halo 2 nades. The way you can bounce them. Always loved that aspect aiming for the right bank nade so it'll place in the right spot. Still getting better at it but I was proud of these

I meant like a small range nerf. It feels really cheap when I get kills with it. But whatever maybe it's fine the way it is. I just don't like it.

That is very noble of you.

You said it feels cheap when you get kills with it. You're looking out for the people you having destroyed with it. Not really looking out for yourself because you counter it easily I suspect.

That beta repeater though
Hope to see an improvement coming to the spectator mode along with the news soon.
Today's showing with 343i Pro Team and the spectator mode crapping out on the live-stream multiple times was embarrassing to see.
This is inaccurate.
Set Primary and Secondary to the Sniper. As long as there are no weapons on map you will spawn with a single Sniper.
But let's say I only want BR starts, but regular weapon spawns on maps, or pistol only starts, but static weapon spawns, then it's not possible? Is there a reason this happens? I assume you would get two weapons in primary and secondary for this.

Maybe a surprise or two to go with BTB and new req release?
I agree with this 100%. With so many other games to play lately I keep coming back to Halo MP. It just needs a few additions. I would love more maps, modes, and better stats/medal/progress tracking.
I don't know whether I want to keep my Battlefront pre-order. Everything about the game screams cash grab to me. No campaign, etc. But I think it'll compliment Halo 5 for the holidays. I don't know how 4 BTB maps this upcoming week does anything to change the fact Warzone is only 3 maps.

Battlefront is going to be my casual shooter. Halo I will probably play whenever I have a party going.

Just lost a game of Doubles because I honestly have no idea when OverShield red pawns, so the enemy team kept grabbing it.
Lol, what the hell is the timer on that thing? No forge means I can't go in and see what Timer its on.

Tbh I don't think it's the same for every map which is weird.
Think it's 1:30 from activation on Empire and 2:00 from activation on Regret fwiw.
All I know is about 1:20 after it's activated I started keeping my eye on it.

I do believe it's two minutes on every map for Camo and OverShield. At least it is for Plaza, Regret, Eden, Empire, and Truth.

The 2 minute timer is from when it was picked up last. So when power weapons spawn, look for camo/OS about 10 seconds later.
Twilight Gap

2 minutes is good for power ups, unless you get a team of randoms that don't know how to time them and the one guy on the enemy team who camps OS like he has a lease on its spawn.

Love that spartan charge lol.

For BR only starts you set both Primary and Secondary to BR. There is no second weapon shown in the HUD.
When you approach a weapon placed on map it prompts you to pick it up in the normal way, then places it in hand as your Primary, with the BR as your Secondary.
In earlier games, where you spawned with only one weapon, the game would automatically place the map weapon in hand as primary when you walked over it, even if you did not want to pick it up.
If you skip the OP it's a very pleasant and upbeat thread.
The blatant lack of moderation on any Halo topics here is really disappointing.
unless there's hot dog cannons. then gtfo
No kidding eh? Months of shit in threads, derails, several just negative threads, nothing. Maybe 2 pages of Spartan stance discussion after matches that turns to weird gifs equals a move to off-topic. Several hours of off-topic posts and one NSFW gif I've seen posted at least 3 times elsewhere since without a ban and the entire community is shut down, not wanted, come back in a year if you're good.

That game has no depth to its mechanics or the baseline shooting. I was bored after just a couple games in the beta. Even so, I still might get it as they nailed the look and sound, I'll have a Star Wars itch around the movie's release, so I guess I'm their target demographic for the cash grab.
I haven't played Halo since Fallout came out, due to time. I need to get some arena games in over the weekend.

I can't play this game for shit. I'm trying too. Well, in limited amounts of time. These are my observations.
1) If you play this game with bumper jumper, jumping around alot gets you killed. Its a hard habit to break.
2) CoD kids are crouch killing and it sucks because it works. Whatever aiming changes were made fit crouching.
3) The AR isn't OP it's just got too much range. I was on Truth getting taken down from top mid by an AR. Watching theater of me getting killed I notice a lot of people don't even switch from the AR
4) The shoulder charge sucks. I played against people just sprinting around the map and charging. I hate that shit.
5) The hover should be on jump. Yeah I know its clamber but it could just be when you hold it. Clamber hit twice, hold to hover.
Its weird, most of the people who get kills on me are hardly moving.
Just got a pretty cool stance. (finally!) But it seems like it doesn't display when you are looking at other people in your game, or even in the post-game lobby? If there are going to be cool cosmetic rewards like this, they should definitely be displayed in pre-game lobbies, off to the left side of the post-game lobby (all spartans have the same stance in the post game) and then when you pull up whatever "active roster" is now to see who all is in your party.
I wonder if we will see UI tweaks like this or not.

People already reminding me why I hate Doubles at high levels.

I'm the same way atm, Fallout is taking up all my time, I still manage play H5 for about an hour or so. As for BF, I plan to get it release day, however I see myself playing H5 a lot more. BF really doesn't seem to have longevity. It's extremely barebones and basic. I mean it looks, sounds, and feels amazing, but it's just really shallow. I'm getting it because I love Star Wars, but it's not something I see myself playing for hours on end or putting a lot of time into it.
