Strongholds is much better as a BTB variant than a 4v4.
Haha, you picked the absolute worst day to quickly jump in. Good news though, BTB is out and a lot of fun!

Except it negatively impacts your rank if you join a losing game.
Tried this now, didn't work.
Still getting the xbox live party service error. I wish Halo was on Frostbite. Going from Endor to Apex 7 is like a generational leap.

That would explain my getting placed at Gold 1 with a 5.8k/d after 10 matches at a 70% win rate.
Lol.
Meanwhile my swat stats were abysmal after 10 matches and got placed into Diamond.

IMO, all game modes should have a tip screen telling people wtf they should actually be doing / what the actual goal for the game is while everyone is waiting for the map to load.
I had a Wazone game where people were fighting over bases instead of going for bosses. We were in the lead anyway, but I had to tell people that it was better to let them have a base so they would spawn in a controlled location. I also had to tell them later to ignore the third base and go after a gold boss because the points were worth more.

So after checking out all the BTB maps I have got to say they are an absolute joke in the looks department. The only decent ones are Basin and Guillotine and that's not saying much at all. I would be very content to never see a forge map again in this game. I can't believe 343 introduced BTB with only maps that look like these.

Moments like this are why I love BTB

CTF is one of my favourate modes in games and playing BTB basin CTF is love, reminds me of Halo 1 somewhat with that alpine map.
Is that why they look plain? They are made in forge? Sorry I never played halo on the forge days.

Anyone else having this issue?

Basically, my Cloud Sync is not working. I followed a troubleshooting guide and did a series of things, the final one which was removing my account from the Xbox. Big mistake.
I now have lost all local saves and until I can re-sync I have no local saved games.
Fuming.

Yup, all 4 were made in forge. The remake of Headlong is especially terrible, it just baffles me.

Daaaaaaaaammmmmnn. I would have botched that in about 12 different ways.
Having a really annoying time with big team. Repeatedly getting my dick kicked in because my team mates are trash. Maps aren't fun and the headlong remake might have the most half assed interior design ever. Every room is like a box and you can't tell the difference between them. I'm thinking its just the Halo 5 game play that doesn't make it fun.
Spawn killing is an issue, maps don't seem to be the correct size.

Had the same issue.
Removed my gamertag. Added it back. Hard reset.
Everything worked after that. Good luck!
Don't even want to imagine BTB with pistol starts. Dreadful. BR starts is so lovely.
Shoulda preordered breh

My account is completely borked on the Xbox One for some reason.
- It will let me sign in and has all my pins
- It doesn't load my Gamer Pic or Colour/styles though
- It also doesn't sync Saves
- It has my Gamerscore as 0
It seems I am not the only one and is to do with a recent preview programme update. Fingers crossed my saves are still in the Cloud somewhere and I will get them back!

Whenever I see clips like this, I can't help but think I'd never manage that because those two would have had their eyes on the radar like hawks and instantly noticed I was coming. Maybe I'm unlucky or maybe I just suck xD

Hadnt thought of this but it's totally true. The two games dont look like theyre from the same year.
Halo is going to have to accept that this is an open relationship because I'm going to be spending a lot of time in Battlefront.

The sun on these maps.. Blinding.
If you use the Midnight visor it helps quite a bit actually.
Ok, i messed with elite button mapping a bit.
I have default, with jump and crouch on left paddles, and melee and grenade on right paddles
Sensitivity at 3
Does this make any sense.
Im finding the aimy super touchy so im considering trying a long stick on the right side?
Edit, i just realized i dont have thrusters mapped this way, where you guys normaly put them, are they ok on left stick, or maybe i need to replace nades with thrusters on right paddke

The new Recurve map is set on the Glacier forge canvas, and it's possible to actually escape the map and explore the Glacier map in custom games. It's absolutely massive. Amazing potential for forge.
If you want to see the Glacier map (it's seriously huge) and how to explore it, I made a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2VhTOP7dL4

Awesome. Watching now, didn't even think to try getting out of these.
EDIT: I can kinda see where the 6GB might have come from! The canvas is pretty gorgeous looking if I may say so. Also, 30 second ground pounds look ridiculous to watch xD

Guillotine is a damn good remake of Headlong.
It's been said to death but man... I wish it didn't look like ass
That being said, geometrically it's very nice.

Well, guess which REQ I'm going to stop selling?

And Halo 5's gameplay makes BF look like something from the N64 era, can't win them all.
Wow, makes me super excited for novel games people come up wth once forge gets launched.
I didn't realize we were already able to fly.

Escaping Fathom's fun too, swimming with the whales and creepy eel things is really cool.
