Anyone able to grab some screens of the new maps? I'm curious if they look better than those ugly samples from the Waypoint article.

I'm going to say something that has never before been said in the History of Halo:
343, please remove BR starts, ty.

lol there was a bug at the end of the match, my victory pose had me put a mounted machine gun over my sholder like it was the AR
What were you thinking, 343?!?!?!? You should have consulted MysteryM first and foremost. Sheesh! Always dropping the ball, 343.

Make BTB social 343. People don't go into BTB to be tryhards, they go in to have a fun, more vehicular, bigger experience. Not counting every map being a underwhelming forge remake, plus JIP...

So my wife showed up with this.
Now I just need to find the perfect setup.
That's a keeper.
EDIT: I like the Halo Multiplayer preset included in the controller app. Jumping and boosting with the right flippers feels very natural, IMO.

Stop caring about your stats then? Social would be ranked without showing your stats. just close your eyes!
What is your GT to confirm you played?

Whatttt! They don't have that! 343 please add this to BTB ASAP!
Looks a lot like Forge Island, basically.

I finally feel like the mechanics are starting to click for me. Yesterday I powered through Team Arena from Gold 5 up to Platinum 1. Feels good.
Also, no one told me that the Bolt Shot specials were as good as they are. Tore up some folks in Warzone Assualt with them yesterday. The bullets home in a lot better than Needles do as far as I can tell.
Does anyone know if there's a way for me to update the game remotely? The system's on Instant On, but messing around with Smart Glass and on Xbox.com hasn't gotten me anywhere. Would love to be able to update while I'm at work so I can play as soon as I get home.

Thanks for the screens, but did you intentionally pick the worst screens possible?

BTB IS SO DAMN GOOD!
Get ready to Gangnam Style it all over the place in MP.
Thank you. I was hoping some extra tab/slide or something. More useful data. We can see our medals now right?
No medals unfortunately.

Sure does. Not horrible. Not great. Will be all about how well they play. But hopefully we'll get some actual developer built BTB maps (yes, i realize they finished these forge maps but i mean full, developer non-forge maps).

Recurve is fucking awful

It's in arena so that means weapon pickups on the map instead of req cards, if you enjoy big team in other halo games then you'll like this version IMO.
It's quite a different feeling compared to warzone assault.
does that tank even respawn? I see it blow up at the very beginning and then never again.

Any in-game shots of Headlong remake?
Going to be so damn hard playing it picturing this in my mind...
imagine what 343i could have done with the new Halo 5 stuff...

>=D .. Stinkles did this no purpose. OR am i over-reaching?
Deleted story board? NAH MAN it relates directly to ending of halo 5 legendary.
I know you're all enjoying BTB without me.. but where my detectives at?

that was remade for halo 4? *edit* wait that's reach, right?
see, this is where i'd be happy for them to make a throwback map pack and port some older maps directly to 5, maybe with a few tiny tweaks to help with clamber and stuff.

Just played in a game where two guys were betraying each other for the rocket launcher. They had an arguement over it. They kept calling each other scrubs all game long. I missed you, BTB.
Look forward to trying these out later.
I feel like 343 is missing the point of a map editor if players can't create maps that look great. These look...terrible.
I feel like impressive looking user created content is what interests people in the content. When it's obvious it looks like an unfinished map from a visual standpoint, it's easy to not care or be unimpressed. =/

Has 343i told us the details regarding future maps? Can we only expect to see forge maps in the future?

Same! Hell, imagine what they could do to some of them... i'd honestly take all remakes if there weren't 1:1 but more "inspirations"... like take Battle/Beaver Creek and put it as some subterranean research facility with 'hot lava' river... or Ivory Tower made of more outdoor natural features paired with Forerunner stuff or whatever... Halo's had some of the best map design... i'd be completely happy with a ton of complete remake/inspired-by's.
These super ugly Forge re-works... well, they just feel 'meh'.
Yup.. Breakneck (epic name as well)
CE:AE / Reach Anniversary map packs i believe... never played it myself but looks amazing if you YouTube it!
That's what i figured. It will server us until "real" maps are made hopefully.

And therein lies the reason Fireteam Osiris is prominent in Halo 5. They saw a chance at breaking the stranglehold that Chief has with fans of the series because more characters means different stories, more novels, more toys, more comics.
But in my opinion they completely failed. The entire story and level structure was a mess. At first I didn't agree with IGN and the ads lied to you narrative, but taken as a whole, what a bait and switch. Game played nothing like a single commercial, nothing like what was promised, and when Shinobi broke the news it would be like metal gear where you play as Raiden we were assured it would still be about Chief. But it was about Chief as little as possible. His name just thrown in there from time to time, the 'end goal'.
