I decided to finish up the campaign, I was at mission 8 so been playing from there for the last few hours.
Took a tank into the two warden battle.
Skipped the three's.
EZ street.

I love my classic BR.

I do way better in Breakout solo.

Would anybody be interested in a playtest tonight (like 5 or 6 hours from now) of a slayer/CTF/strongholds map? I need 7 people.
If so, about what time works for everybody?

I agree if they were going to do something they would of done it by now. Wonder if some of there reluctance is there are other games they can go play and they are worried if they put in harsh penalties they will just leave and not come back.

oh yeah it's awful. it should be mostly slayer. have a social objective playlist maybe. But it shouldn't be shotty snipers.

I just don't know how they tested it and released it.
Awful. Shame on you all.

You would think the ammo counter on the classic br would have been blue.
Yea snipers shows up way too much in social. I'd be cool with it if it showed up like 5-10% of the time but most of my matches are snipers...
I mainly just want a social arena playlist with slayer CTF and strongholds. I was planning on playing mostly social when the update hit but it's snipers over and over so went back to ranked :/

I love it. One of the better and unfortunately (well, fortunate for me at least) underappreciated weapons in the game.
I get an easy 4 to 6 kills with it each respawn and people always run past it. Thanks guys!

It gets annoying and depressing how often they fuck things up.
Nobody asked for Social Snipers we were asking for a Social Slayer playlist.
I'm sorry I want this game to be good maybe I'll just accept it for what it is? Accept mediocrity.

It makes you think they're worried that a 4v4 social slayer playlist would kill the other playlists, otherwise what logical reason would they have to make it 5v5 and force Snipers on us?
Like radar. They could remove it at this point and people would be fine, and people would enjoy better gameplay for it. What the hell chance do solo players have against parties using radar?
Baffling decisions still being made.

Halo would most certainly be ruined if Juices were hired.

I hear ya. I had 6 in a row, 7 of 8 games snipers a few days ago. I try to avoid that playlist now.I'm talking about this:

I'd download that for customs.
Snowbase wasn't great, but it was hardly terrible.
I think fans are just desperate for some Arena sized maps with open spaces and longer sight-lines.
The sooner we get a hot Sanctuary remake, the better.

I liked Snowdown when they got rid of the shield doors.

I liked them too, but they could get annoying.
I kind of wish they were on timers. So you'd get a minute of them on, a minute of them off, and have to account for that.
The core game is great, but it's lacking, and 343's updates haven't inspired a ton of confidence, and I'm saying this as a huge fan of the game. I have NO idea why they said they would include social in this update, and then limit it to one new playlist; I was expecting a whole social tab, with at least 3-4 gametypes outside of BTB. The only justification I can think of is low player count, and if that's the case, that's real fucking sad. I feel like this game is gonna be amazing 6 months from now, but it'll be bittersweet, because it'll be what it should've been at launch.
Not my only complaint, but I hate reading other posts bitching about the game, so I'm not going to add to that.
I will say that I think I found my new aiming settings; need to play some more but so far these feel solid. I took Samurai G0SU's settings I've seen quoted a lot, and bumped up the sensitivity from 5 to 6, as it still was feeling a bit lacking.

It was fun running through for a quick plasma stick or using the shotgun. Which reminds me, the shotgun owned with those shield doors. Unfortunately, I was always its victim.
Nah. Someone will knock them out eventually.
JiP only works in games where map layout doesn't matter and you can choose your load out. Otherwise joining in progress to any Halo match, is often a loss coupled with a shitload of deaths against a team that now controls key areas of the map, has the power weapons or things like BR and DMR, etc.
It's never been the solution, even in social. It just sucks, I try and report every betrayer and quitter I can now. Get it to start affecting their overall XBL rep.

Think that i'm going to limit myself to BTB and some warzone from time to time for my halo fix, they seem to play the best for me and I have the most fun (when not fighting other issues) in those modes.
Now that I have completed the campaign myself there's good parts (covie's city, the early missions as chief) but overall it felt rather lacking at the end, the multiple warden boss appearances felt more like a chore then a real boss and the lack of a real ending sequence, I give it 6/10 above average. I had to command my squad to focus fire on enemies most of the time to make them do anything, otherwise they stood around or hid behind a rock and took pot shots, they never felt like they were spartans but regular marines following me.

Played Holiday Social once for an hour. Got Shotty Snipers 4 times. Never again. Amazing that they let it out of the door like that. Whoever is the decision maker needs to be fired.
Yeah been pretty interesting so far. Just makes me realize I need to try bumper jumper again.

Just got Snipers three more times....
How did noone realize the gametype weightings were so off.

When you shoot a guy with a shotgun at close range, only for him to survive and melee you to death, respawn encounter him across a room, and and he guns you down in one shot, from full shields from 30 feet out.
That is Halo 5 in a nutshell.
And they wonder why nobody is watching this 'esport', LOL
Halo 5 is the XFL of esports.

You sure do spend a lot of time in the OT for a game you hate so much
It's interesting that barely anyone else has these problems.
