I think we'll have the armor soon, but the helmet? Probably never unless the numbers get adjusted, lol.

Once they add in a social playlist, I could see some of the numbers going up. I could play all day and maybe muster 2 assassinations against competent players. :(

It would have been SO nice if they had such a playlist before population started declining. Now I'm afraid getting the helmet will be made more difficult by the concentration of more passionate players...

Placed Diamond 3 in Community Breakout if anyone wants to grind to Onyx later. Only lost my last 3 games.

Out of all of the new maps I'd say Havoc, Highrise, and Pylon were my favorites.

Also, you only need Level 3 in the kill commendations for Achilles guys. We already have a few I think we can get it in a month or two.

Level three is for the armor. The helmet needs level five. Level three honestly shouldn't take that long, maybe a month or two more. Level five on the other hand...

Me and my brother have 22k of the kills in my spartan company I don't think I'll ever get it unless I cull.

According to what Bravo said on the stream we are going to get a new Mark V version in the future I have a very strong feeling that will look like this toy (as you can see it's from the H5 line):

I think the backlash of their armor was very huge and they decided to release a new one that looks closer to the original MK V in the future

Even the name of the Mark V that will launch with the January update is "MARK V ALPHA" and the cannon folder helps me with my theory:

cfmkvalpha-18f78a3384cc46c68120341d692d79a0.jpg

Armor: The Mark V and its product-improved variant, the Mark V , were the first Mjolnir armors to fully integrate shield emitters and sufficient computing power for an onboard Smart AI. The MARK V ALPHA is a highly configurable revamp of the original.

Helmet: It is unclear who requested an integration check for the Mark V helmet with the latest GEN2 architecture, but engineers at Materials Group have been surprised at the MARK V ALPHA's near-parity with contemporary designs.

What do you guys think?

That's just give you the armor. The helmet requires level 5

Edit: beaten badly... Like me in a game of breakout badly

Same, especially now that I'm getting the crossed swords. As soon as I hit them, no longer care about any emblem. The worst is that the last update added all those number uncommon emblems, thereby making it tougher to unlock what you really want because you end up getting like 8 of those, 3 different types of scout hogs etc.
Click to expand...

I'm glad I'm done for now. The next updates will add more stuff, but that will be way easier to unlock, since I have all the Bronze and Silvers unlocked. I really hope we get a lot more interesting stuff, though. Flying UNSC vehicles have been already teased, so that's pretty good.

It shouldn't be surprised since we still don't have classic game types yet, but 343 not addressing bosses awarding mass amounts of points based solely on the last hit in Warzone is pretty embarrassing. I have grown tired of doing a vast majority of the damage on a boss only to have someone hiding in the bushes shot once and get the kill.

I think you're thinking too much about it.

They've produced fairly faithful representations of Mk V before, and they've got both Mk IV and NOBLE armor variants in the game. I don't think the Mk V Alpha set they have looks as good as the OG version but I don't begrudge them for coming up with a different look that's more varied than what's already in the game. The armor looks pretty cool anyhow, sort of streamlining the original and making it look a bit more contained and sealed up.

I wanna make room for people, but I just went through the company and opened up the service record of everyone I didn't recognize. They're all relatively active.

Wish there was a quicker way of looking at everyones activity. Maybe ill do it eventually or something idk.


Tell 343 to raise the roster size imo. Getting that helmet with 100 people is tough enough as is.

IMO the SC should be made up of not only active players but people that actively post here too. Some people are playing but they never come into the thread at all...

They are basically just using us for Achilles!

I haven't hit a top ten posters list in a Halo thread in a long, long time.

Speaking of which, OT3 is open to whomever wants to do it. Nice timing with the Update, might wanna tie it in. :)

Pretty sure he's never playing H5 again.

Yeah I was gonna say... His last game was in the beginning of December. But only Elzar has the power to do something about it.


I discharged Flip Yap and someone called Angry Mainya. Both were inactive. Also discharged Ghazi because I know he doesn't have an Xbox.

Dunno if Pokerface reads this thread anymore but you are kinda inactive too, but I let it slide for now.

I'm curious if a member is added to a SC will their stats carryover or will they only count their activities after they join?

Good god! Do the achievements of new members carryover retroactively? If so, hire this man!

I'm kicking myself for not bringing my xbox go the office yesterday. I probably would have gotten 6hrs of playtime in....

Nope. It only counts their stats once they join the company.Any stats the user had accumulated before joining the spartan company don't count.

Surely scooby would have no problem ranking up another 21k kills in the next quarter...

Get him in here! By any means neccisary
except cutting me
lol

Strider said:
Do you use a lot of XP boosts?

I'm between 14k-15k kills and I'm only SR75. I sell all my XP boosts for req points tho
Click to expand...

It's probably WAY more efficient to use the boosts of collecting req points is your goal.

It also depends on what you play. Someone that plays WZ a majority of the time will have more kills and a higher rank than someone that spends most of their time in Arena.
