Halo 5: Guardians |OT2| All Hail The Conquering Hero

No need for the snarky remark.

Bloom balanced DMR imo..You need to pace your shot and it wasn't cross map kill weapon in Reach..It's now a camper weapon in open maps.BR is going that way too which doesn't fit Halo imo..
I haven't really run into any instances where it's used for camping? Maybe coliseum. Bloom I think messed up most people's shot, it didn't feel consistent. I could have just sucked with it but it was frustrating. As for the BR that's why I think it should remain a pick up weapon.

No it didnt, bloom had a spread were the max bloom made the bullet land in random spot within the bloom, this made the results on 1 v 1 a roll of the dice, you wanted to pace your shot while someone was spaming and he would win the DMR battle, and thats was people problem with bloom, spamers had a chance to win out someone pacing.

When the Bloom was taken out it wasnt a instant 5 sk weapon as many tought, it improved the kill times while keeping it hard to do a 5sk given how hard was to land a 5th shot in the head.

2nd match of the night and req's are failing to work again even though they are connected to the server.
I had a game yesterday that ended but left me in the map, everything was frozen and I couldn't kill anything. It lasted about a minute. It was surreal, lol. I hope they are aware of all the server errors.

I finally got the ...

"Your files are exactly where you left them"

message on Windows. Had a major update that looked like it was reinstalling Windows. How can I put together my sweet sweet Halo montages without teh Windows.

Speaking of which, are we still doing a Holiday HaloGAF Montage? :D

Simply adding a v on the end (.gifv) in the url makes the file size smaller. But yeah, embedding huge GIFs is usually a bad idea.

Also, I would have got hit markers for all of those :'(

Man I embedded an imgur GIF the other day. Lol. Thanks for the tip

I stop playing this game for 5 minutes and my thumbs forget how to aim, seriously frustrating me. I need to have another go tweaking controller settings I think.

I've noticed this only happens with Halo. I have no idea why, but always requires an extensive amount of warm up time after a break.
 
I should really buy an elite controller.... i cant get used to bumber jumper since im so assimilated to green thumb. but to move my jump/thrust to the paddles and my melee to RB sounds like an easier adjustment

4 days till I get mine! Mwuhahaha!

The placement tweaks are so irritating. Breakout placed me in Platinum after doing really well in placements. I'm now getting put on teams with guys who insta-grab flag and SMG across map *facepalm*.

Legendary Warzone RP boost card, play it and we win in 5 minutes flat. Nice 6800 points for one game, so good. Can't remember the last time a team destroyed the enemy core to finish a normal WZ.
 
Elite Controller is the best thing ever

The time i think i have some extra funds for this, i remember its wife's bday, daughters bday and xmas within the same month. HAHA...

-_-

I'm pretty jelly. now you'll be too pro for me to que with haaha....

I REALLY hate how an SMG across the map in Empire takes some of my sheild down. Almost half the one time i was paying attention. -_-
 
Been getting an error with halo 5 multiplayer for the last 24 hours. Says there is an issue 'authorizing user with halo 5 : Guardians services. You will be unable to access to access online modes.' and i can't do any online stuff, even forge.

But all other games multiplayers work fine (even MCC).

This was such an amazing comeback.

I joined in progress, We had less than 10 points, and the enemy team had nearly 100. Then, somehow, I got my hands on the Sniper Rifle and it felt like I was playing Halo PC again. :p It was the start of a turn around, kept retaking total control.

Here's the Power Weapons, Vehicles, Helmets, and Armor I haven't unlocked yet.

I think I'm pretty happy with the Air Assault Specialist set, so I'm not even pining for Locke's armor anymore. I do really want those Whispered Truth, Nornfang, and Selene's Lance certifications though.
 
i was kind of excited for those bundle gold packs until i remember someone say it's only purchasable with real money. I scrolled to the left and realized the daunting truth... :(

I'm so far behind with my REQ. X_X
 
I wish the Raijin helmet was a little smaller. It's too big for the matching armor.

Maybe I'll just switch back to Locke's armor set (Hunter) for awhile. Or maybe mix-and-match the Noble helmet with the Raijin armor to see what that looks like.
 
I do wish there were more DMR friendly Arena maps. Right now its basically just Colisseum and Regret.

The extra touch of auto-aim on the BR gives a ridiculous advantage at close-mid range.


BTW can we get all the Reach character armors added? Robotic arms and all?

Still the best art in any Halo.

Yeah, those beaten and battered look on the armors looked great. Even the color scheme was pleasing to the eyes.

I guess having S4s with brand new armor, they have to be shiny. lol i still remember the concept of the armor. they looks like painted car panels shaped on their bodies.

searching google ....


OMG - i didnt realize this concept art was made
primordial-concept-art-haolosjoberg.jpg

The artists are phenomenal.. Why doesn't this translate better to the game engine. T_
 
I just played some Halo Reach on XBONE, and I don't know if the emulation is subpar or I'm remember things differently, but it plays like poop. Slow, clunky, laggy, ugly and pretty much unbearable after so much Halo 5. It has to be the emulation, right?

Regardless, bloom is still the worst, and Sword Base is everywhere.

Have they ever discussed where that Alien thing was tentatively supposed to fit into the story?

To be clear, that's a fan concept, not anything commissioned by Microsoft. There hasn't been any canon visual representation of the Primordial.

AHH, thanks for clearing that up. It made me hype for mythos. Thought that was a snippet of some mythos art they would include.

haha DANGIT
 
Team Slayer placement match... We were down 1-9, one guy quit out, one guy didn't have a mic. I nearly gave up but since the other guy had a mic, I decided to stick through it.

We only went and won :D

quitting seems to be highly rampant for people doing placement matches.

Was a strange choice to reset rank at the same time as releasing aiming updates.

I totally botched my placements because of messing around with the new options, but I got placed back into Platinum - just as before.

Also, nicely done - I've been on the opposite end of that situation and been impressed what two non-quitters have been able to pull off.

I've had multiple quitters in all my placement matches on both sides.

I unfortunately got placed in gold or silver this time around while last time I was platinum and gold. So gone done a rank in everything. :/
 
im afraid to complete my placement matches and be somewhere im not satisfied with. if i was in champion, i'd just wouldn't play it anymore, until next reset. lol

Sounds like Reach to me

It's a combination of the 30fps, Reach originally being a stuttery and inconsistent mess, and the emulation just compounding the issues, really.

The emulation isnt great. I still have 360 hooked up, and would replay it on that if anything.

But going from 60fps to 30fps always makes the latter feel even more sluggish. Happened all the when bouncing back and forth between COD and Halo 3 or Reach.

I can deal with going back to 30, which will usually just take me a few minutes to become acclimated with but this was just piss poor all-around.

I don't think I care about the Xbox 360 being emulated on Xbox One anymore, lol. Shadowrun be damned.

Going back to Reach reminded me of myself going to a friend's house and playing Blops1 4 player coop against bots splitscreen on the PS3.

After playing CSGO.

I don't know man. I found an afk'er the other day ad inspected him. Really nice I thought. The game moves so fast, you don't see everything.
