For as much as he used the word childish, you'd think his messages would be oozing with maturity.

Played about 4-5 BTB games yesterday. The rust continues. Also doesn't help when you don't know maps. I played a strongholds game (I like this gametype quite a bit actually) on the Headlong remake and did reasonably well. The rest of my games were all bad. I kept getting Recurve and was running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
Not bad. Looks like with the side platforms, players can easily jump to either side. Was it like that in Halo 2? probably in slayer games but not CTF. Also, in CTF, im guessing there is no way to make the flag bounce like it did in Halo 2. Otherwise, it looks really slick.
I've been pretty discouraged talking about Halo 5's campaign most places. A lot of the sites have just turned into garbage discussions and cheap recycled jokes.
Nok and the guys playtested it last night. I use playtest loosely, as I think they were just jumping around maps people had available for a while between their 'real' playtests. Maybe they can share their thoughts here.
"Let me demonstrate how childish you are and how mature I am by proving to you how wrong you are for liking something I don't like"
Ah, this explains everything then. That's a shame, FFA is fun.
I have not, but will be keeping tabs on that project. Some of these remakes are coming out real nice!
Heh, I remember my first game as well. Big team slayer on burial mounds. My brother brought his Xbox back from college and it never left home, I took that shit over.

I hope he typed that with the controller.
I'm aware. I don't think any of them should be though... I liked just making my own emblems. When I get an emblem that I'll never use, it feels like a waste of a permanent req. and there are like 250 of them... Smh how many of them are actually going to be pleasing to receive?
Armors, I'm fine with being tied to commendations. So when people show them off, it means something.
So, it appears new forge canvases and pre-built structures will be coming in the future.

I actually can't play something else. Love warzone when everything works.
343... Please PvE

Too bad the Nightfall armor is horrendous. ....

I'm in the same boat, i have a backlog i need to catch up, including the GwG titles. Halo 5 has me stuck. Always and forever.

Haha, all the GwG titles have made it that I'll probably buy at most one new game this year. Only bought two last year (LEGO Jurassic World and Halo 5) and two the year before that (MCC and Ori, plus the pack-in Sunset Overdrive.) Especially since I didn't get into the 360 era until the beginning of 2012, most of the GwG stuff I'm having a blast playing through the first time.
The daily win REQ packs are mostly the reason I'm still playing as much arena as I am. Otherwise I'm usually in Warzone assault if I don't have a party.
Still haven't found time to get into Forge.
I kind of understand where it bothers people. I think having the basic emblems available with specialty or new ones unlock able, and some being tied to achievements (beating the game Legendary) seems like a decent compromise. I just miss my fleur-de-lis.

Really excited about the future updates. I really hate they gave up on Spartan Ops though. I'd love to see new episodes each month with the updates.
wonder what is meat by this
"Prebuilt structures will come at some point but in a more exciting way. That's all I can say 4 now"

Maybe more elaborate structures that you can then ungroup, allowing for more unique pieces?
City canvas please! Maybe even a lava/fire world.

nice. forge is going to be one robust level editor when all is said and done.is it sad that since I can't play the game that often, i take immense pleasure at seeing all the maps people have created?
Very good ideas. Couppled with H3's Sandbox Objects (aka stone and temple pieces, but better) it would make for some pretty cool stuff.
Yeah, pretty cryptic. Just give me the damn pieces already! I don't want to jump through hoops (Or 2 Half Ring joined welded together) just to get more stuff.
Also, just give me Forge Canvases that are big boxes with flat terrain. Forgers really need all the pointless bumps and terrain stuff, if you give them tools to make cool stuff anyway. I much prefer Parallax so I don't have to deal that much with pointless water killing me if I crouch more than 1 foot.
Water Volumes please!
I've spent 477 hours on Halo 5 lol.
Thats a lot.
How about you guys?
After a bit of fiddling I managed to do this in the Xbox Windows 10 app.
Apparently time played is 361 hours. With 490/1000 gamerscore.

Cheers I'll try that.
Really glad to hear canvases are on the menu too as well as forge pieces themselves. Heck they could just rip out the skybox from each Multi map within reason, depending on how much is visible an dhow much is empty space if it is out of view.
I assume they mean the prefab pieces like we've had predone towers and big rooms in the past. But I guess more detailed and maybe with scripting potential like in built doors?
Whatever it is, exciting times for Forge!

As ugly as Forge maps are, if Halo pivoted into a platform to always be playing custom creations, with a ton of different canvases and silly ideas made real, I'd totally be down for that.
That said, I'd probably prefer 343 focused on making more fully arted maps so I don't have to look at maps like Guillotine ever again.

Lol silly shit.

Lol silly shit.
Gametypes are hella broken in customs atm. There's a kind of workaround atm.
Select a default gametype that matches what you want to do, if it's a team based gametype like DuckHunt, pick Slayer. Set up the teams. Change gametype to the one you actually want and hit play.
It shows up wrong on your end in the menus, but once the game has actually loaded and started it should be right.

That's my favorite assassination so far.
I'm fucking crying here! Is this real? SMH
Backbreaker is pretty badass. I unlocked a few kick ass ones yesterday, including Emile's Regards. That one was brutal if a little underwhelming.
Not sure what I'd say my favourite is so far. I wish there was an easy way to preview the animation in game. Besides the little thumbnail you either find it on YouTube or get a friend to wait as you jump in and out of a custom game :3

Remember this from last night? We won the game but got robbed this round
The most brutal one I've come across is 104 Ways to Die. About as savage as it comes.
I had to scan through this vid to find the one you're on about. Honestly don't think I've unlocked or seen that one before, whichi is off because it's an uncommon. This one right?
Yeah that works thanks
I hope he's reading this, because from where I stand, Halo 5's campaign is better than Halo 3's.
I like the timing on assassinations now, because if you accidentally do one, you're less likely to be double-punished by having it yoinked AND getting beaned yourself.
