:lol The pistol does not need a nerf, it already has a low aim assist.

The Change Profile feature does not work very well. Many times when I go from my alt back to my main H5 says there is an error authorizing my account and I cannot connect to the servers. Then I get a Connecting to Lobby screen that just times out. Needs to be looked into. Quitting and restarting the game usually fixes it, but why even have it in the game if it doesn't work right.

Thought this might be interesting in light of current XBO sales news
Not sure if it would be a good source for a new thread though

This is already known in the NPD thread. Still a massive drop from Halo 4 sales wise.

Storm rifle is fine, AR maybe but I don't think it's necessary. Pistol? You want it to become the new BR? The starting weapons as they currently are don't need a change, one is a easy pickup and shoot weapon suitable for beginners and is also quite useful for cleaning up kills, the other is the best starting weapon in Halo history with good but not OP all around performance and high skill cap, they don't need more change.

Update madness.

I think that says more about the complete lack of meaningful exclusives on the PS4 in 2015 than anything else.
Wii U had some great games but not enough consoles to sell them on.

PR will spin anything to make it sound good.
No, no they don't. That is not how Halo works.
Getting the drop on someone means you get the advantage of being a shot up. However, if they're skilled enough they should be able to turn around and out shoot you.
That is nigh on impossible if someone gets the drop on you with an AR because of how easy it is to use.
The problem I have with AR isn't how powerful it is, it's how ridiculously easy it is to use in combination with the power. It takes next to no skill, it is very powerful in close range and is capable at mid. That is not how I think Halo should play.
Whaaaaaat? Fuck it, no point trying to reason.
As for pros and the AR, I regularly see pros saying that the AR should be used more often. Ninja said in a recent stream that if your flanking someone you should use the AR etc. The storm rifle is also absolutely abused in pro games.

These are all horrible opinions. Halo 5 is by far the most balanced shooter I think I've ever played in terms of weapon strengths. If anything, the only gun I'd want buffed slightly is the boltshot. TTK is a smidgen too long, especially versus a pistol or BR.

So uh.
Anyone else excited for the livestream tomorrow? We finally get to see more of the fathom remake
How long was the last livestream?

Yap, can't wait. Last one was 2 hours, maybe 2 and a half? Was a pretty long one. Lots of forge, Jo Staten interview, 3 games showing off the maps. Maybe this one will be shorter since there's nothing as huge as forge dropping next week, then again maybe they'll show a bunch of the maps made by people and talking about a community playlist.

Make the BR and AR/SMG/Storm rifle reticules smaller. Also slightly decrease magnetism all across the board.

I thought they don't have headshot bonus anymore, and the ADS accuracy bonus has been tuned down.
Didn't they do this after the beta? I could be wrong.

Not been following the news these past few hours. So Mikwen has defo moved to Renegades?
I thought CLG has been pretty dominant.
First game was a very quick 3-0 Coliseum flag to CLG and they just won an Eden Strongholds 100-25.
That said Renegades are on the comeback in this Coliseum Slayer.
Edit: Nevermind...
No, but he is apparently playing under an alternative with them tonight. So, unless renegades has the clout, not to mention time, to run try outs I'd imagine it's a done deal even if not "official".
When I posted it was 3 - 2 and I missed the first two games which apparently we're blow outs in clg's favor. Clg definitely looks to be the stronger team, but I think they were before the moves too.
It's interesting watching lethuls stream after watching almost solely ninja for so long. Ninja plays so aggressive, at all times, even pushing with no shields. It's also apparent how much better this clg team communicates and works together then ninjas, liquid or renegades (though perhaps that's just the impression from ninjas streams perspective)
Basically said he felt eg was stagnant and not getting better.

But they were like, at the top already.
Ugh, I just hope this works out for him. Probably my favorite pro.
It's going to make for some exciting, close matches between the top 4 at least.

X post for one of my 2-8 player maps based on the Genesis Campaign level. It's still messy please understand

I'd say Renegades stronger than CLG before the moves.
They won 9-3 and 6-2 in scrims against CLG before.
Damn, CLG just steaked Renegades on Regret Slayer.
I think Allegiance will just walk away with it now.

Really? That's awful. Spray n' pray weapons should not have a headshot bonus.
Yeah, that seems like the safe bet on paper, but we'll see how the teams gel.
I think new CLG will be a serious contender...
Renegades too. Spartan seems to be having a tough night and games with clg are still back and forth (kind of, heh). He's usually a beast.
Damn son, that's looking truly incredible. It's come a long way since I first saw it! If you spot me on next time you playtest, I'm down
The top 3 teams are still CLG, EG, and Allegiance and there's a significant gap between these 3 and other teams atm... this hasn't changed and they are still all very capable of beating one another at any given time.
I mean sure they could win but saying Allegiance "will walk away with it" now based on 1 player changing from CLG and EG is a huuuge stretch if you ask me. I don't care if they are #1 ranked atm based on points... They still aren't the favorite in any lan to me until they prove themselves in that environment.
Regardless we have the first lan really soon right? Isn't X games right around the corner?

Renegades was definitely a contender for top 3 or 4 based off of their fairly brief performance. I'd say before the changes Renegades were better than CLG.
Yeah, I imagine most of Renegades are feeling a bit down after Commonly left and CLG must be on a high.
Yeah, but my concern is how they perform live.
Still waiting to see where Ogre 2 goes. Really want him to find a good team.
I said it based on the psychological effects of changing teammates. Stability is a very important facet of team confidence and right now allegiance is most confident, in my opinion.
Tbh I'm not all that familiar with mikwin aside from name recognition. Isn't he a pretty good get? Could he work out better for them?

I go through my armor so much; I change it every time I play. I just can’t find what I’m looking for. Every time I try to mix helms and armor it just looks funny. Either the helm is too small or it just looks out of place, so I end up just using the matching helm/armor set. I decided just to do something basic and simple, recruit, but the Charred version because the skulls and flame are neat. It reminds me of Emile, which would be a pretty cool set. I mean we have Noble, so why can’t we have this!
That's actually looking really good so far.

I feel like EG should roll now with commonly but I felt like they would have won anyway. And the leftovers team was a better storyline. Too bad

Holy shit this is incredible, doesn't even look like a forge map like at all.
Messy ha, that's one of the nicer looking Forge maps I've seen in H5. Great job so far. Only thing that looks bad really is the ground textures but Forge gonna Forge nothing to be done about that, especially when building a natural map.

It's my least favorite WZ map (looks nice though). Too much revolves around monument, whatever team has that pretty much will win the game and it's incredibly hard to take back unless the other team is completely brain dead. It also doesn't help that most of the AI bosses spawn around monument. All Noctus turns into is br/dmr spam until people get snipers too.
