Available in Forge though...

But is it (the Halo 2 BR) a starting weapon in customs? or will the SPNKr?

 

[Fata1moose]

Okay, I get it 343. I asked for Mk. V one too many times and now you're screwing with me using this ugly version. You're going to give us the more iconic version too, right, RIGHT?!

[super-heated plasma]

So Frankie, where the hell is Oddball and King Of The Hill already??

 

[op_ivy]

i wish the ui for assassinations were animated. its really hard to distinguish mostb y name and i dont typically get tons of assassinations to test them out.

 

[Nutter]

I don't like these but I also don't like the super stoic ones we have now. There's a happy medium between "YEAAAH BOOOIIII" and *respectful nod* and I'd like to land somewhere in there.

No one would like it if they had to see the other team do it every single time. So I understand.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

They're what Cortana and co. are calling themselves ("Created" AIs as oppose to the "Creators", humanity.)

This is basically the first tease of post-H5 universe stuff we've gotten actually. Feel bad for whoever was on that planet...

Nice. I may have to dive in the Canon Fodder.

Despite some criticisms of the REQ system, for years I've wanted to have multiple versions of the same weapons to co-exist in game. Never once thinking it was going to happen.

It's really cool to see something like the H2 BR and the SPKNR find a place in the game.

Same, and it makes me desire Halo 5 as a platform for Halo multiplayer instead of Halo 6 starting over again.

 

[blue_phazon]

Okay so for the post-game animations, I decided to do some research on Spartans twerking and I came across these.

What do you guys think?

Jumping back into diamond ii after not playing for a couple of weeks due to school is tough

 

[NobleGundam]

I'm very curious as to how the animation plays for the classic BR. Will it be closer to Halo 3 or Halo 2 Anni?

Well, it's called Halo 2 BR, so...

 

[Madness]

I want my fleur-de-leis too, but we can't all have what we want

My crossed sword are back. Obviously I can't use the shield I used to have behind it, but they're even the same colors I tended to use. I must have this as soon as possible!

Well screw you and your happiness then

 

[Strider]

I don't give a fuck about new emblems.

I just want Clippy.

 

[BraXzy]

Is it just me (or maybe the lighting) or is the blue team color a bit lighter than it is right now? If so I like it!

I didn't notice that, good spot! Defo a lighter shade of blue which is great, especially for Breakout which we all know and love. Since blue team blend in quite nicely with the dark blue aesthetic.

is...is that a teabag?

 

[User 479360]

I have some great games and some really bad ones, so my KDR kind of sucks. I try not to let it bug me too much, and just have fun.

I'll win a game of FFA here and there, and then come in last sometimes. It's weird. But lots of people play this game more than me and are inherently better.

How do I go about getting better icons? I'm having trouble getting any good ones.

 

[Forerunner]

First game I play starts 3v4. My next game everyone quits and leaves me 1v4...

It's going to be that kind of day, I can feel it.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Yeah it's leaning towards a vibrant cyan. Probably a better choice than the pastel blues of H4.

 

[MaGlock]

Anyone wanna party up around 9p.m. est for some ranked action? Plat 4 in arena, diamond 1 in slayer

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Elzar goes 2-2 and teabags on the final kill. Terrible.

It's what I do baybeeeeeeeee

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

lol thanks for this. I've only skimmed, but there was some hilarious commentary.

At one point, after displaying a hilarious lack of accuracy he quickly scrolls through the control options and says 'i wish that I could turn aim assists completely off' ... Umm... Yeah that's the problem.

At another point he suspect that he's playing against a pre made team of 'Pretty good players' and that fact made him look worse than he really is.... Nah bruh, you are just terrible.

You can be a halo veteran and be shit at the game.

 

[op_ivy]

is...is that a teabag?

lol

 

[Forerunner]

lmao, this guy kept teabagging me all match. So this was nice pay back.

 

[op_ivy]

lol ninja just lost a warzone match 1000-90!

Spoiler

he JiP at 670-40 or some such shit

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Didnt realize how thats a teabag for all cures lmao. Good eye!!

Spoiler

Should of had two. Danglin' Danglin'

 

[Glass]

lol ninja just lost a warzone match 1000-90!

Spoiler

He got 55 kills in the previous match, very satisfying watching him take on waves of people .

 

[op_ivy]

why are the warzone waypoints such shit?is it a design decision to not know what the status of a base is unless youre relatively close or minor ai enemy spawns?

 

[RedSparrows]

Presumably to ensure people don't have full info at all times unless communicating/playing the map well.

 

[BraXzy]

is...is that a teabag?

 

[blue_phazon]

I just smack talked you in ninjas stream

 

[BraXzy]

I just kappa'd you back son. Get rekt9.

Spoiler

It was a legit mind blown btw, I hadn't closely looked at that emblem.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

is...is that a teabag?

Uh, yeah, since chamomile is tea.

Looking at the name was enough.

 

[Madness]

I really like the fact they embrace the 'teabag' now. This is something so unique to Halo and was on the verge of being erased, whether it was killcams, after match kills that quickly went to the poses etc. Even the Simpsons lampoons teabagging/Halo.

I think the guy who does the Halo live shorts, he really gets the community. Just look at that Warden Eternal kill stealing one.

 

[NobleGundam]

Well, it's called Halo 2 BR, so...

Shit haha was working and couldn't focus but so cool that it's being added.

 

[Madness]

By next thread, spoilers should be free/untagged right? I mean we're at the point where map descriptions for upcoming dlc take Halo 5 post campaign into account, so it's only natural.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Halo 5 servers down??

Edit: nm it was me

Also anyone know how to enable mobile mode? I disabled it to update my avatar lulzzzzzzz

Nm got it lol

 

[Plywood]

Halo 5 servers down??

No they're working as intended.

 

[blue_phazon]

Uh, yeah, since chamomile is tea.

Not all of us are tea nerds

 

[NobleGundam]

Apparently this wasn't added into the trailer that was part of the newest update

 

[Trup1aya]

Sure you can. Doesn't make his commentary less humorous.

 

[BraXzy]

I think the guy who does the Halo live shorts, he really gets the community. Just look at that Warden Eternal kill stealing one.

I have a feeling he helped with/made this trailer. Got major Halo live short vibes during it with the skins/Pizza stuff.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Not a fan of breakout in arena, out of 5 games last night 4 were breakout and 2 of those had quitters immediately which decided the games' outcome before they started. Solo arena sucks but it's where flag games are so I flock to it

 

[Welfare]

It's almost been 3 months since launch (a couple more weeks if you include the leaks), why would we spoil tag anything now? We are tucked away in the community section, so it's really the fault of the person getting spoiled if they get spoiled.

 

[NobleGundam]

I think Halo 5's Warzone mode needs to be revamped completely.

 

[rakkadakka]

lmao, this guy kept teabagging me all match. So this was nice pay back.

Do people take it personally when they get teabagged? I just laugh.

Maybe if you're getting stomped and they're teabagging you.

My personal favorite is the guy who has outclassed me 9 times out of 10 but I get him once.. you better believe I'm going for the bag.

I think Halo 5's Warzone mode needs to be revamped completely.

I'd like to see it where you use reqs for variants and everyone has access to regular weapons/vehicles ala BTB.

I'm level 45 and still haven't used a banshee in Warzone because I have a grand total of 2 of them..it never feels like the "perfect" time to use it.

Current system isn't P2W I don't think..but it's definitely pay up or play a shit ton to be able to use some of the more rare vehicles. Especially since BTB doesn't have them at all.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Is that BR considered a "new" weapon? Before it was a skin correct? So is this considered separate?

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

Is it just me (or maybe the lighting) or is the blue team color a bit lighter than it is right now? If so I like it!

RATED T FOR TEEN

 

[Magwik]

I'm really digging that new shade of blue
