Thought about trying H5 again, decided to get the 1 month gold trial, it didn't accept my payment, talking to MS rep about it...

To answer your question. I'm not playing any other games.
You make a good point. But generally I don't desire as much communications with other devs because the games I buy usually ship with an adequate amount of content.
I really just wanna know when/if the content we all expect will ever come. I don't think that's asking a lot. Also much of 343i's communication boils down to: we hear you, we're doing stuff, will be doing so for some undisclosed amount of time, and we'll give you details later. It's really not informative.
It's the buddy spawn system that's buggy. There's video of people spawning inside the rocks too.
It's probably because they don't know either. They've told everyone over and over its "monthly". We just got the BTB update like 2 weeks ago. We got the HCS skins just now. The dev process isn't super streamlined when you're trying to push out so much different content. Forge, Warzone map, Arena map, 2 forged BTB maps, new REQs including new weapons and skins. That's all on top of bug fixes for things like Warzone Assault, Basin spawn, UI fixes, etc. Then there's obviously going through cert for a few days. Everyone here is hungry for more content, obviously, but complaining about communication is just off
Well I'm with you on the lack of content and wanting more. It's why I'm anxious for the update too. I just don't think lack of communication on their end is really an issue overall.

Decided to get off of Counter-Strike in order to get enough REQ points to purchase the HCS pack.
80,000 REQ points? Damn.
gonna take like 50 War Zone matches... Here comes the grind.
Can I get the HCS stuff from the regular gold packs? Almost rather open 8 gold packs and hope for the best.

just got my very first tie in team snipers lol god I love this gametype
Bought hcs, equipped the armor, emblem and skins (fuck that ugly ass helmet) then proceeded to have one of the worst matches ever as I kept getting confused what team I was on and which color to shoot at. Seriously, being on blue team but seeing the red hcs coloration on my gloves from first person kept screwing me up, turning me backwards. Over and over again. I'm such a noob sometimes.
Just buy it dude. $10.

I need an excuse to play the game. ;p
Plus it's a fun little challenge. Try to play 50 matches in 2 days. The REQ expires tomorrow, right?
I feel like they talk a lot. But it's mostly fluff... I'd rather have clear, consise, useful and accurate communication than to simply have frequent communication.
My issue isn't a lack of communication. It's a lack of effective communication. They need to learn the virtues of over delivering

That's some triple A quality copy and paste.
Dude has spent 10x that amount on the req packs but will grind for 80k. I love you speedydude
I believe it expires on Sunday.
Actually we are vague because the cert process can expose unpredictable problems and we don't want to commit and then have it miss by a few days.
Yeah but where is oddball.
Is it better or worse than Apple's iOS cert process?
Well our "apps" are inherently bigger and more complex so it's apples to oranges lol

what Ivy said.
55 is way smaller than 500 Kappa.jpg
Hey, I'm certainly not envious of their jobs, but I think I have every right to be critical of the communication. There was one point in time when we were all expecting 21 maps at launch EXCLUDING forge maps... 6 of which were to be Warzone maps. We all know how that turned out.
As long time halo fans, we all expected classic modes like oddball, and KotH to be in game. 1+ month later we still don't have them, and also have no clue if there is any intention of ever including them.
We were told that Req money would fun 18+ free DLC maps through June. We'll soon receive our 6th DLC map, made in Forge, by community members. Do those count as Req funded maps, because they shouldn't... Forge maps have always been free. No word on the matter from 343.
Will we ever get BTB maps made with dev tools? Who knows...
So, I'm just not happy with the way info is handed down...I don't think I'm the only one.

I know ivy, I know.. We'll never know the answers to Halo's most puzzling questions.
Might not be here for over an hour D:
Bravo tweeted half an hour ago that he is typing it up...
Isn't this December update that brings your CE pistol to Warzone? Pretty sure they were working on it same time as the SPNKr.
What I want to know is whether Warzone weapons will eventually make their way to Arena/Customs. A lot of these weapons exist in campaign and Warzone, so there should be no real reason it wouldn't exist in Arena.
At least it's still today lol
I just want everyone to know if I can't bet req points on HCS matches then I will be disappointed.
They said Valve inspired them on how to handle post launch support. Well gambling is basically why CS:GO is so popular now lol
Ah good. At least it's coming

There is no conceivable way grinding 80k REQ is worth $10 of my time.
The unfortunate part is that I give no shits about the Halo Tourney skins, I just want the next pack and the pack after that for the rare items...

Just played a 20 minute match of Warzone and the game didn't give me any REQ points because it couldn't find my stats or something. Hope this gets fixed.

You will get your req points even if the stats don't load, it usually gives the req points soon after the intermission timer runs out.
It does, give it time. Generally when that happens I quit to menu, open the req screen and don't see my points, close it and re-enter and there they are.
lol damn I was so tempted to buy another one but just stuck with one. My friend opened 3 and gave up he also got a bunch of crappy rares.
How would that even happen? I thought they were strictly limited to employees.
They are supposed to be but for some reason they are (or were) in the loot pool for some reason.

Buy 5-10 Bronze packs to make your Silvers more worthwhile perhaps.

I would prefer if 343 released new REQs one week, arena map the next, Warzone next, then season reset/playlist updates.
Interesting early concept for the Req packs. This was used to pitch the initial idea, I like the idea of themed crates rather than just generic card packs... But this concept at least is super dull compared to what we have now. It's a lot more bright and shiny and fun to open what we currently have which is obviously more enticing etc etc.
2 hours ago Bravo tweeted it'll be here within 2 hours... So... Any minute now hopefully lol
They've got some nerve huh?
