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

An other map that wasn't ready for launch is being polished... Makes me really wonder how much content was cut to make the release happen.



Teased in one sentence. Forge Community 4vs4 maps.



Universal Ball gametype, which can be transformed to Assault, Grifball, Riccochet and Oddball. Comming February.

Damn, that's versatile.

Hyped!
 
Seeing that H2 BR, hearing those classic shots.. feels damn good.

The way he worded it made it sound like it was shelved, this happens a lot in all MP games, I would imagine.

Could be, but they also showed Battle of Noctus in a playable state at Gamescom in June and it didn't ship with the game. Nothing so far has impressed me to the point where I'd consider these updates as great service. It all seems like content that should have been there from the start.

H5's launch was more than barebones, which is really sad, since it's actually a good MP game.

To each their own, but map count wise, H5 was basically on par or better than past releases.

I just think to assume a map is "done" because it's briefly shown a couple months before release doesn't mean it's actually ready to ship.

Let me guess Griffball will still count towards Arena KDA? Anywhere I can watch the stream? I didn't see it on Halo YouTube channel.

I completed my placement matches for the community playlist...

Of the maps I played Overpass was my favorite. Nice clean sightlines.

The Pit map played terrible the couple games I played... The map is really small. Or maybe it just seems smaller because of the Spartan abilities... Not a fan tho.

What do I need to set my sensitivity and dead zones to so h5 will be like past halos? I feel like I am constantly fighting the controls.

I used to play at 5sens for the most part.

Don't know about that. The map count was inflated with Forge maps and duplicates of Warzone maps.

Also, I haven't said the map was done. I said it was cut from launch, because it didn't make it in time. I just wonder how much stuff wasn't ready.

Hello HaloGAF.

Tomorrow the great journey begins. But the weight of some of your heresy will stay your feet. And you will be left behind.

Pm me if you want in on the Halogaf company. Gonna be looking to cleanse some inactives. Add some quality poopsockers. I'm thirsty for that Achilles armor.

Good news, I really love this release model were we get new and varied contemt every month, instead of 3 MP maps every 3 months that would segregate the population, I do hope all of this carry over to Halo 6.

You are a tyrannical madman.

I'm gonna be on later, try to poopsock hard enough in 1-2 days to make up for not playing for like a month :p

I put my deadzones to zero, use an aim acceleration of 1, and a sensitivity of 3 or 4. It's helped me a out a ton, but may be too slow for your liking. I may up the settings once I get more acclimated to the game.

H5 launched with 9 maps not counting the BO forge maps & 3 assault variants, that is absolutely in line with the rest of the series.

Sounds good. Just don't leave me behind. I still try to play everyday. I'm at level 67 I think.

Hey babe, cutie, sugar.

Still feels pretty garbage

Why does halo 5 feel so much different than previous halos and every other shooter that exists?

Because it has much less AA compared to others?

No one post a sniper clip, I know.

I need all of the people in the SC in the lower tiers to really work on those assassinations, thank you.

Destiny's content drought means I've been playing a lot more Halo lately. It's pretty much my go-to podcast-listening game at this point. I'm probably not as much as some, but I'm contributing towards those commendations! Just hit SR48 last night I think? Anyway, if you came to hear me beg, you'll be disappointed (but still don't kick me out!).

I only get to play on weekends, please don't cull me, but again, I'll understand if you do.

I'm sure assassinations will start becoming more natural as I keep playing, but I have yet to record one in any game be it warzone or arena. Really strange to be honest. I've never been a fan as they leave you somewhat vulnerable, but if I ever get the opportunity I'll do them.

EDIT:
There's two new companies dedicated to unlocking the Achilles armor set

https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/spartan-companies/achilles%20armor%20set

https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/spartan-companies/we%20need%20achi7es

Dat dedication

reading the second companies Bio gave me laughs
That second company has already filled up 6 groups lol.

I got 2 or 3 today while in camo playing WZ assault. Assassinations are much easier when the enemy can't see you. lol

They probably left Spartan Companies that already had half of the progress to start from scratch. Good luck to them I guess!

I'd given up on the Twitch stream so I need to catch the VOD later. What were the highlights?

I'll play more Slayer/Team Arena if you want to make space for ole Madness in your Onyx backpack. Or you can dong on some silver/gold/plats in these garbage tiers.

Something to keep in mind is to try and not kick people out who aren't very active during the work week .-.

Not a fan of that highrise breakout map.
Oh yeah? Me and my buddies loved it, but we only played once to be fair. The small map with the round middle area was our least favorite to play but I bet it would be fun to watch pros play it because of the lack of hiding spots.

I'm guessing there are quite a few people who haven't played in weeks, if not longer. I wish there was a way to see people's activity. It's kind of bummer to look at the SC stats and have no idea what your own contribution is or what other people are up to. It only shows the total company's stats and a few people who have the top stats.
