With the lack of current legacy content... I'm not surprised a PvE mode didn't get prioritized.
But it is a no brainer with the current req system. We finally have a network model that isn't a laggy bitch when it comes to PvE in Halo. The Req system makes matches more interesting.
Not sure if its possible to do a PvE mode right now as DLC but I'd imagine a future Halo would have it.
Right stick of course... Left trigger just feels wrong.. Even though I can play other shooters just fine...
Holding two buttons to shoot a single gun just doesn't feel right in Halo...
Bumper jumper it is.
Do you think Chief is gonna die in Halo 6? Know its early to tell but How do you feel about that if it happens?
Am at work and was watching some of the legendary quotes and lines in previews Halo's.
Cortana: "You look nice.
Arbiter : were it so easy
Chief: I need a weapon
We are just getting started
Bet you can't stick it
Man..just thinking about that makes me want to go out now and buy MCC again.
I cant find a memorable moment like that in Halo 5 campaign. To me chief feels different in a way I actually don't favor or like.
Miss something like the gravemind scene, Prophets. Sgt. Forge and three spartans vs The covenant.
Levels like : Two Betrayals, The Library, Assault on the Control Room,Floodgate
The horror and mystery feeling on 343 Guilty Spark level.
It makes me actually sad.
Think am gonna actually buy that again. Hope Halo 6 will have some of that and Chief wont die
Genesis was when Chief and Cortana finally got to talk it was pretty good.
It's been so long since I played Halo prior to 5 that I couldn't get used to bumper jumper. Too used to left trigger zoom and jump on A.
Yeah, or there abouts. We've not heard anything because of the holidays n'all but I hope that just means a quick run down tomorrow without all the daft REQ teasing with a quick release. If it means a delay with the same week or two dragged on teasing of the content I'll be mad.
still better than that goose BraX
Also got an elite controller, Idk for now it feels kinda uncomfortable with the paddles, I liked the razer paddles more.
You were supposed to forget that ever happened. I don't even know what a goose is ya hear!
Have you tried the smaller paddles? I couldn't get used to the long ones. The short paddles were perfect for me.

Awwww yeah
Open Beta, starts next thursday, get ready to dong on little spanish kids.
I got super confused for a whole second wondering why HaloGAF was gonna start playing Guild Wars and why they were doing an open beta.
My bad.
I thought I could show off my cool stuff

I'm in for sure. Loved the hell out of the first GW.

I tried getting into Guild Wars 2 once but I just couldn't. Same thing with all MMOs like that I just hated the way the controls feel :/ Idk maybe I just didn't give it enough time. But the camera/strafing/combat always feels so awkward to me...
I don't need an MMO to suck my gaming time anyway. Between Halo 5, Dota 2 and the upcoming GW2 + OverWatch I'll be set on games for soooo long. I'm thinking about even canceling my Uncharted 4 preorder which is the only other game I am considering getting in 2016 atm.

Yeah i cant wait to try the open beta for GardenW2. It screams hilarious fun.
I've always played halo like that. Right stick for zoom. And started Halo 5 with Halo 4 setting. Played long time until I met team snipers. Then I changed it to default. Felt faster to me. But what's right is right. Right stick
Genesis was the best feeling in Halo 5
I was good with the right stick. But when I played team snipers. It felt like they zoomed faster than me. So I've changed it to default :/
After I play it Legendary, I'm going to have to go through it again and again to get the under 3 hour achievement! I'm a masochist I tell ya!
Well with Warzone and dedicated servers, it's more likely now than ever before.
I mostly just want Firefight 2.0, incorporating stuff like the REQ system. Would be awesome if you can bridge that player investment system to multiple parts of the game suite.
It can become a major part of where you spend your time. I suppose they aren't for everyone. I enjoyed my time with it.
There are indeed a lot of games coming out this year. I'm trying the 52 Games in a Year challenge again purely to try and get to play most of the awesome games coming out.
Yea most likely. Between the holidays and 343 moving into a new building as well I'm sure they are behind what they normally would've been... Which is undersdtandable tbh.
Not only do I hope for a new arena map but I also hope the updated Orion is completed and gets added back in...
I'm definitely expecting a light patch this month. There's been the big patch last month, the Christmas holidays, and they've moved buildings. My wishlist would be the new weapon skins, some new forge pieces, and a playlist using forge maps. Looking forward to hearing what we get next, I need me some new blog posts.
I was initially like that but I realised re-scoping mid battle is a pain with the right stick. I've changed to Pashooter which allows you to scope, shoot, throw grenades, melee, thrust and crouch without touching the face buttons.
My wishlist includes updated Orion + a new arena map + New gametypes + a Warzone map + New reqs.
I think a lighter patch is definitely what we'll get this month but all of that should still be possible.
February we'll get something bigger that includes similar amount of content as above + forge updates such as the file browser.

I may be setting myself up for disappointment but given the sustain model that they've set up, I'm expecting the monthly updates to be somewhat similar in terms of amount of content.

Don't worry, he pinged me about it this morning.
do you roll solo? I hit onyx in slayer and it's hard for a pimp out there D:
Doesn't really bother me, my finger is on the right stick anyway because I'm aiming...
I dont want crouch being on a face button either... Would make crouch jumping too annoying...
I just found rescoping messed with my aim a bit when scope is on right stick.
I don't have crouch on a face button, it's on left stick.
I hear ya..its just that I find that if I'm in a situation where someone could easily descope me repeatedly... Then I shouldn't be trying to scope.
how are your face buttons mapped?
Edit: nevermind I've got it figured out. So how do you use the second zoom on the sniper? Hold left trigger then press B?
Crouch on stick makes for especially enthusiastic teabagging.
That, of course, is the main reason...
Toggle crouch might make for good teaDragging... Which is the slower, more methodical approach to embarrassing the opponent...
In slayer, yea.

After Halo 6, I want Halo to turn into a more quality Destiny with content. A PvE MMO Halo would be amazing.
15 years and 7 Halo titles later, I'm getting very bored.
I can't compete with these younger guys anymore. I don't have the time, patience, or the reflexes like I used to. Just my 2 cents.
Competitive Arena will still obviously be there...but the campaign should focus on large planets that can be explored and patrolled on while finding new and unique weapons and armor to equip on your Spartans.

Halo should be like destiny with assassin's creed type movement, and combat like bloodborne and have prostitutes like gta

If you like that stuff so much you can play Destiny and its sequels for the next 10 years.
Personally, I'd rather not have any of that MMO stupidity infecting Halo.
And a story told like in Last of Us, it also should be on PC, but only on Steam, I hope it is co-developed by Platinum games.
Is that the GAF cesspool of opinions?

Makes it real.
plz no.
The more I play The Rig, the more people seem to be camping on it, the team that has the sniper, obviously. I think the map would play a lot better without it, plus the caster is fucking worthless. (for the millionth time)
The Storm Rifle is more of a power weapon than the caster, and those things spawn every 5 seconds, god damn what a frustrating weapon to fight against.
Anyone know what number you have to hit for Champion in Slayer this season? I assume 2200 or so, I'm not even close, but damn, 1850 is a huge improvement over pre season where I couldn't stay above 1550. The changes I did to my aiming settings did wonders for me.
Can't wait to ODST drop into Old Russia in Halo 8 though.
lol

The caster's very powerful against camping shits. It's much more situational than most power weapons, but it's pretty deadly for spamming dark corners.

100%. Add in the 'Xbone lol' and 'sequels lol' and I genuinely feel like many game journos just didn't give it the time of day, and are 'allowed' to get away with it because 'oh another Halo whatever', when they'd lose their shit over the brilliance of the MP design if it was found in some FPS Rocket League equivalent, or whatever.
I feel the campaign, whilst not as strong as I'd hoped, is a great class in varied and quality map design, great, open encounters and some superlative visual and audio design. But, eh, Halo, not the Halo I used to play, story's not quite up to scratch, meh, pretty rubbish actually.
As fucking if.
/ahem
The Storm Rifle is fine, it's best for CQC and a great counter to campers. It's most important for 343 to ignore "feelings" and only look at data for weapon balances. The main narrative I have read so far is that people are annoyed or frustrated to deal with weapons they are not used to.
Weapon balance isn't determined by feelings, only numbers. The Halo sandbox is the best it has ever been in Halo 5. It's a damn miracle that a good player could literally be successful with every weapon in the game.

It's so easy to avoid though, the weapon really needed to work like the old GL, allowing you to decide when to detonate shots. The weapon rots on literally every map it's on, unless Funknown is in the game.
The weapon is OP as fuck in the hands of a good player, and absolutely too powerful on its current spawn rate. It can kill just as fast at midrange if you don't overheat it, and up close, you can sit the controller down, because they're either going to kill you with the gun, or pulse you for .5 seconds and melee you.
It either needs to be moved to a mid tier weapon, which is what I feel it is or overheat faster.
yep, true. Rig suffers from very bad power weapon placements and decision which ones are on theres.
The caster though is more useful on Rig as on Truth

I'd love it to be more like the Reach GL, absolutely, but it's not easy to avoid when fired in to tight confines, which is where it shines.
