Terminal would be huge. A lot of fans would be pleased I think if that happened. Agreed on the MLG/HCS comment. I think I would have disagreed with you a long time ago, but it's easy to see how detrimental the sweaty matches are to the general halo population. On a side note, it was a big letdown for me that Halo 5 didn't have developer made BTB maps, which is where a lot of fun can be had.
Objective games bring back a lot of memories. Pre-Reach I loved objective games. I loved the BTB objective games especially. 1-bomb on Terminal, CTF on Relic, 1-flag on Headlong. 4v4 flag and bomb games were amazing on Zanzibar. And I know what you mean with regard to a small group of players being able to make a difference on games. Not sure the reason, but Halo 5 it was nearly impossible to turn the tide alone.
Yes same. Did 343 say they aren't doing req packs anymore? Everything we have seen of the customization still has that req pack feel.

I have a feeling they WERE going to be in whatever the original Halo 5 sequel was. I distinctly remember them saying they liked the system and it would carry into future games. That all seems to have "mysteriously" gone away now. What you're seeing might be the remnants of it.
BF is mid October (oct 15) and CoD is Nov 5
BTB is veeery sweaty in the MCC.
I think you might be right:

They need to have join in progress functioning at a high level in social games imo and not punish quitters with bans like you said. As a person who plays solo primarily I really hate getting matched up against full grouped up parties. It's frustratng. I've complained about it many times, but don't have a good solution either. I want a full on solo queue list for everything haha but that isn't realistic. I do dislike the current implementation of skill matching in Halo. It basically ensures that every game is super competitive and sometimes we just need a break. I think I'm in favor of returning to a ranked playlist game where you rank up and only play people within so many levels of your rank. Give me Halo 2 or Halo 3's system with the option to jump into social with less stringent skill matching in social. In Halo 2 and Halo 3 when I needed a break I'd go play in some playlists where I hadn't ranked up as high or jump into social. At the time, social was definitely less stressful. I don't know if that is due to everyone knowing how to play halo these days verses then or for some other reason.
I wish they would. I mean is it going to detract from the release of the game in any way?? I seriously doubt it.
No, you can go back at any time, all the season passes are permanently available. You need points to unlock the stuff in them, which you get by doing challenges.
Okay i'll have to figure out how to switch the season. When I go to the menu right now it only shows season 7. Thanks!
You can switch by using the triggers. The bumpers navigate to different pages within the season itself.
You can thank Holiday Cheer (see: Black Friday, Christmas shopping, and the resulting Running of the Retards).
I busted out MCC today for the first time in a while. I worked on some Campaign Achievements and went over 5k in my MCC gamer score. Then played around 8 CE multiplayer matches. Was a little rusty the first few matches, but then got back into the grove and won like 4 or 5 matches in a row, with a positive K/D of 2+ to 1 in those matches. We even had several Steaktaculars and I was having Infinite bot flashbacks.
Agree on this. I miss non sweaty social. I mean sure you had close matches aswell in the old games but not like it is now in MCC with its SBMM crap.
It's possible, not holding my breath though. But we'll probably get leaks of what's under Multiplayer too so we'll see.
That sucks. They really need to work on MCC's ban system, it can really fuck over people who have glitches like you did or legit disconnections.
Yeah I'm not even sure what caused it. My connection is fine. After the ban I went back to social CE games. I'm a sucker for carrots dangling on sticks, so I have been trying to complete challenges for points to spend. Occasionally I'll get a bunch of experience and go through multiple ranks/levels at once. Not sure what triggers the extra bonus experience.
Nice! I'll probably regret my decision to go straight through all of season 2 first. CE is the main playlist I frequent, so it makes sense. But I should have looked at a list of all the options in the other seasons first before diving in. Earlier i went through Halo Reach's level Nightfall 7 times doing speed runs and then I also kept doing the assassinations at the start of the level and restarting from last checkpoint to get my seasonal challenge finished. Got my hot rod warthog skin among other things.I'm going after the MAW weapon skins for Season 7. A grind, but they were my favorite skins in Halo 4.
On the bright side, they’ve got 10 years to fix that apparently.Ok, yeah, Theater is in, they just put it under a different tab for some reason. Phew.
That means the only "traditional" mode that isn't in is Firefight... yet again.
What's the alternative? By the way if anyone wants to play some Halo I will be on for the next hour.
