Some interesting stuff, but first: if SPNKR isn't a variant on the basic RL, that might mean that it's usable in Forge?
I think it does.
Some great stuff in that update, some of the stuff we've asked for going in. Especially UI changes like callouts staying on screen when dead, req energy cost shown in collection etc.

Only remix of Plaza? 
hope it's noticeably different like Eden/empire.
hope it's noticeably different like Eden/empire.I got super excited when I first saw that infographic with three maps, then remembered the two BTB maps. Still cool, but almost started freaking out xD
It sounds like there's some little bits and bobs yet to be revealed so I hope some other stuff like challenges/req jackpots or something is mentioned, even as a "we hear ya, we're working on it."
Other than that, they covered most of what I hoped for with a little extra on top. Just a shame the file browser isn't a full on browser. At least you can follow the big map makers in the community and see their stuff at any point. Looking forward to what's in store at least.
But seriously, they better mention Oddball, Griffball and the like.

Update looks pretty good. File Share is sort of on par with H4/MCC style, but they acknowledge that it should get evolved as well as Forge itself.
Also, more info coming to the roster:
This is good news.
I'm sad Overgrowth doesn't have more open areas like that concept art though. Looks damn pretty.

That got me excited hope they can deliver all this content they've promised and have it be relatively glitch-free launch in December-January.
Seems they hit a lot of issues we've been whining about so maybe they are listening this game.
Reading the 80K HCS pack goes away Sunday made me sad there's just no way I can grind that much this weekend as I work Saturday and need to get a tree. Plus spending money on req still seems crazy to me, I'm not that rich.

And now it makes a little more sense.
Curious to see what/any changes got made to the layout of the bases. Now that the garages aren't central structures, I'd imagine they're going to have a lot fewer firing lines.

Yeah having the garages as secondary buildings will play very interestingly indeed. My gut reaction is that it would be much harder to successfully capture the enemy's. Might make it much more about control and domination versus trying to go for the core.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
There are also alleys behind both garages and paths underneath the roadway. Looking forward to seeing how his map plays out in the wild.

I wonder if Antifreeze is Sidewinder? It was one of the maps on the Forge white board in the Sprint. I really wish they would make an actual Sidewinder remake that's not Forge though.
Mk. IV looks good, although I'm sad Mk. V still isn't there it's nice there's some good armors to rotate, Athlon and Noble are my go to right now.

...And map designs! It was just Sanctuary all along.
I hope so. Sounds lame but Sidewinder really brings back the split screen/lan memories for me. Had some great moments on that map.
Excited to play on it
Will it be coming with an assault variation or will that come in the future?

Can't wait to use some of my Oni Warthogs on it. I'll be saving up some more now.
Forgot about that, now I am curious as well. lol

There are going to be some amazing ground pound clips recorded at this locale.
6 player FFA fuck yes. Great update. Content aside, lots of little changes here and there adding up to a lot. Going to be a slow 10 days. The last stream was a fun watch, can't wait for one with them showing off all this stuff.
Does that mean the rarity will be displayed in the spartan customisation bit? It only mentions the collection bit, which is the only place you can see the rarity but can't actually use it to look at the gear.

They need to change up the home bases on these DLC maps, especially for Assault, where the end of the game is essentially the same map regardless of what map you're on.
Holy shit!!! Based 343? Is it safe to say?
Imagine 343 reveals upcoming koth, oddball etc... game types... 343 doing work.

I'm actually impressed. But honestly this should of all been there at launch. Oh wells, hope this+christmas bump the population up. So is there going to be ranked btb and social? Hope it just stays social.
So I exchanged my Halo 5 disk at the retailer because the Campaign kept crashing on the first mission, right after the Jackal tackles the other thing at the first sandbox encounter.
Same problem. I think the update borked the game's campaign. It never worked for me anyway, and I bought the game two weeks ago. Other games work fine, and I tried all the Xbox One shenanigans to fix it including reinstalling, clearing cache etc
MP works fine.

That's... weird. PM Frankie your deets.
Is your game version the latest? There was an update a few weeks ago which screwed up campaign checkpoints, not quite what your describing, but it was fixed recently in case that could be it.
The legendary war master helm goes nicely with the HCS armour.

I noticed there's no post-game medal tab in the the UI update. What's up with that? It's such a major oversight, makes me think the game can't track medals specific to games or something. I know a lot of us complained about this back with the beta and it's never been addressed. This should have been at the top of the the list for the UI update.

I am hoping it's coming, perhaps it's one of the things they aren't discussing just yet. It's one of my biggest irritations.

Solid update. They addressing several concerns and Mk. IV looks amazing. I love the chest plates of old armor designs.
Definitely updated I assume, otherwise I wouldn't be able to play online.
Basically as soon as I walk past a certain point, graphics flash into a weird black/anti colour contrast, huge loud sound glitch to top it off, and I'm instantly back to the dashboard.
Same. I really like the simplicity of it. Plus the visor and helmet are just classic. Always felt that the armor and helmets of Halo 3 and Reach were the best. Maybe because they were simple, all utilized larger visors, and less Gundam/Anime styled robo designs.
...Is it possible to get a video of this, because it sounds interesting.
And an idea if you haven't tried it: Uninstall Halo 5, and go download a game demo that is like 3 or so gigabytes. Then re-install Halo 5 and see if it fixes the crashing. My BF Hardline would freeze within a minute of whever I got on the game, and a Xbox Representative told me to do that, and it worked.
I'll see if I can do both tomorrow at some point. Thanks.

ALL GLORY TO FRANKIE
For those of us still itching for Mark V, using the Noble armor with Mark IV's helmet should work quite nicely as a stopgap.

No, two are forged BTB maps, one is a remix of plaza, the other is a WZ map.
No confirmation if the Warzone map has an Assualt variant. I'm guessing no, because previously WZA variants were classified as separate maps.
