So why don't medals show up at the post game screen? Did I miss something?

Why is the update downloading so slowly? It showed signs of life earlier by downloading at 34Mbps, but quickly dropped off of a cliff. My connection as of right now:
So why is it that the update is struggling to get past 1Mbps. It's going to take forever, it's only downloaded just about 2GB after about an hour of downloading. Should have been done ages ago

.Up to mission 9 and so far there have been a bunch of gigantic battlegrounds, aka playgrounds with big battles like with Tsavo Highway from Halo 3.
I'm really enjoying Halo 5 so far.
I liked Halo 4 but I felt like that was mostly because of a) the incredible Cortana plotline and b) the wonderful art style and visuals. The game play and level design was a little bit below regular Halo games... Not so with Halo 5. It has great gunplay AND level design to go with the art style and story.

I suspect its not just maps but an early version of Forge itself (and all the forge pieces) is in there - only not exposed to us yet.

Agreed. I was never really a fan of BR starts tbh. AR and magnum are great in H5 — With the lower TTK and focus fire from up to 8 people all having BRs this could hurt the incentive to use vehicles.
Its not yet — gutted that i had been saving points to buy packs after the update came out. I opened a few and didn't see anything "new" and then read this in the patch notes.

Hard reset fixed my DL issues

I'll try that right now.
Edit: Seems to be going normally now, but will keep a close eye on it.
Never seen these reviews before. I can't explain how fucking stupid this review is in language that is allowed on this forum

I don't believe they ever said they would with this update. There was an issue with that stat page not showing up at all that supposedly got addressed with this update and waypoint should get an update to show medals in a better manner but that is it as far as I know.

Strongholds is not good on any of these maps it's almost worse than Control in Destiny. The spawning is off and you have to suicide rush points to take them it's not fun in the least I'd rather play Extraction.

Thanks for some images!
Throw big images in quotes if you want the thumbnail them.. in case you didn't know.
Damn those look horrid to be completely honest...
compared to...
Yes, i realize i'm "comparing" developer made and Forge maps... but my point is which would you rather play... and do we really want all these Forge maps when we have so little unique developer made maps?

I just don't get why medals were ever not included, not this update in particular.

Me either. It's disappointing and I hope it gets addressed soon.

Those screenshots are embarrassing. I can't believe 343i would prioritize Warzone above proper BTB maps. Well I can believe it but I just don't like it.

Hard reset your XB1. That should fix it.

Forge team getting heat by Frankie right now. Advising why the textures look like perfect dark zero with half steroid juice.

Jesus, I won't be able to have fun in BTB will I? I'll be too distracted by everyone complaining about how ugly the maps are. Goddamnit. Fucking ugly Forge fucking maps fuck. I'm depressed already.
And you know we're just gonna get more full art Warzone maps to push REQs instead of BTB maps we can be excited about.
Looking forward to Halo 6!

I think the BTB maps look pretty good. They're unmistakably forge maps, but they're really good looking forge maps.
Nothing like "micro transactions" to make these PC-based reviewers go apeshit. Can't believe it took so long to get to (past saying "there are no new enemies, vehicles, or weapons." 0.o
I mean, ZP reviews are about the humor, not the actual merit, usually, but even by that standard he was much worse than usual.

I agree! I'm glad they stepped away from those god-awful Halo Reach forge pieces they've been using for years now. Everything has so much more character now, I love the bases on Basin, they look great with decals and all.

Fixed it!
Removed my gamertag, entered it back in. Hard reset.
It all works now.

The forge maps aren't too bad in motion. Of course gorgeous, dev made maps will always be preferred but I'm happy with these. They show off just how great Forge is going to be, if you look past the less pretty aesthetics, the gameplay seems good and from initial matches they play and flow well. Time will tell though.
Some parts of the maps do look great though. The snow map might be the best looking and most Dev like.
Not a big fan of Strongholds on BTB, had 0 fun on those matches personally. Early days though and all that.

That's an update to Waypoint, not the in-game PGCR. They haven't said anything about adding that stuff to the game itself.

Reach forge was better imo..Halo 5 forge looks horrible..
I'm happy with this for less than a month out and our first content drop.
Hoping that a couple more BTB maps and maybe two forge maps for Arena + Req stuff for December.
With a big, dev made bundle of maps in Jan?

Its the same story with every game with 343. Step1, stubbornly do it their way, step2, listen to community complain how this is not good, step3, fix problem in next game. Its unbelievable. Forge maps have always been hit or miss and im my experience, mostly miss. Why would you rely on that for one of the more popular game modes after knowing how inconsistent forge maps are.
Its bloody common sense, and yet, this shit still happens.
I definitely like Reach textures much more. Once you learned how to use the pieces you could make some really beautiful maps.
It's a known issue with the latest Preview release.

Anybody in need of another teammate for BTB? It'd be nice to have more people to play Halo with.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
I tried a hard reset and it worked. The first one didn't, but the second hard reset fixed it. Thanks for the suggestion, NoLongerALurker!
Hopefully they fix that in the next OS update soon. Second time it's happened, but this time it didn't fix itself as easily as the first time.
I feel he is rarely on point with his Halo critics, he does make a good pun here and there, but he somewhat not as funny as before. He did admit in Halo 3 critic review that he never played any Halo before and He doesn't care about Multiplayer.
he also does Extra Puntuation:

Right, again though - medal display is pretty standard in past titles, I'm asking why on earth I have to navigate to waypoint to see them.
