Forge is gonna come with a fileshare....right?
Something about the halo api and the halo customs site having such a close connection with the game gives me hope of something more....like a custom games browser of some sort.
idk if we'll be that lucky though.

I'm hoping that 343 didn't make Burial Mounds with Forge for BTB like they planned so that they can remake it it internally from the ground up. The fact that Burial Mounds and Collosus have never been remade while Gulch, Valhalla and countless others get beaten into the ground with every Halo iteration is a travesty.

Hard resets make it download slightly more at a time before failing
Maybe putting Battlefront into a PS4 will fix it, let me check

Try reinstalling from scratch as a last resort. Would suck if you have to do it but it should work.
I've been playing since OG halo and I enjoyed Halo4.
I didn't really notice the flinch that much, I wish they just kept no de-scoping and took away flinch.
I meant the infected mode that was in Halo 4 and MCC. Do they have plans to bring that back?
Heretic!

Honestly? I'm gonna take the total lack of word regarding classic game modes as affirmation that they aren't coming back. Pretty sad. Core gameplay is SO good but the lack of content is just regrettable.

i just cant possibly see them being serious about this long term committment to the game with only 3 gametypes.

Then why the hell haven't they said anything at all? I'm getting upset about this because this game has SO MUCH potential to be amazing. Not that it isn't but it could be even more so.

isnt that it? 343 already gave us a bunch of pbj on the counter with no bread last go around, only to add the bread in pretty poorly like 10 months later
youd HOPE it launches with just a dope file share in place, they put this much effort into making forge the forgiest this time. give it the full package.

might be a planning thing. the whole "battle of shadow a light". the named content updates. they might want to be 100% SURE they have their ducks in a row before announcing or have big plans to handle the announcements, like named content updates.
that said, just throw us a bone and say "hey more gametypes before years end" or something
While I can't imagine that H5 will run its course before the classic game modes return, it is
1) baffling that they launched without them
2) fucking annoying that they haven't even mentioned that they are working on it, let alone given a ETA
Just add that to this list of weird communication choices 343i has been making around this game.

Team Arena is your only option for now unfortunately.
Numbers of playlists should be kept low and realistic. I think this could really work well with the addition of weekend playlists that are Infection etc. only.
I totally agree with you here. My 9th placement match was utter garbage, because the game decided to give me 2 players on their first placement match. They both went 2-23 and 3-24, iirc. Now, I don't actually care about their K/D ratio, but if this is ranked, how am I playing with people who are not capable of understanding what the objective is and obviously are not very familiar with the game yet? Shouldn't I get opponents and teammates who are similiar to my skill? I don't think that happened here, but instead we got completely destroyed on that match.

I guess not everyone watched the latest Sprint episode - Ship It. They clearly state Everyone is now working on creating more content for the game. More req/maps/experiences.
This doom and gloom as if they stopped working on anything post Halo 5 is baffling to me. You want to be spoon fed info; well there it is! lol Can't have everything the instant you make a concern. It hasn't even been 1 month since release. /rant
See the serious face and commitment 343i has toward Halo 5 Multiplayer:
Timestamp highlight - 16:30.

I wish I knew of the chances of custom game type matchmaking. That would be one of my favorite additions ever if at all possible.

I think the majority of us, and players in general, want to see more playlists including more of the standard Halo affair... Oddball, Juggernaut, Infection, Assault, Headhunter, Griffball etc.
If they're afraid of fragmentation or people leaving their precious Warzone for more "fun" and "casual" game types... well then, they have a problem with the "core" game types... let people play what they want.
How would that work? How would anyone be able to make a sniper back down retreat? A sniper with no descoping and no flinch sounds like giving the person that take it 8 sure kills.

I really liked the campaign. My biggest complaints are lack of scoring/medals and the story flow wasn't as tight as it could have been. It felt a bit rushed(I'm speaking of the story not the overall production). It was the most fun I've had in a campaign in a long time. I really enjoyed just playing and finding all the different routes I could take. An excellent gaming experience in that regard.

Josh Holmes said they were bringing 'new game modes' in the last Sprint video.

I'm really starting to get in to Warzone Assault. I like the progression aspect of it and the games are short but intense.

That's typically vague. New new? Old new? Old new new? New old old? Old new old new? New new new?

I think the biggest problem is it launched and is currently barren as is... half of the usual modes are nowhere to be found and people are getting tired/bored with the current playlists as they are and the complete lack of casual modes. (save for the recent addition of weekend playlists)
Every previous Halo has launched with many more modes and maps. While Halo 5 is the best playing Halo (imo) it is by far the worst as far as depth is concerned. (where it matters, i'm not talking visual/cosmetic stuff or even Warzone in general... that shit is a mess)

I would rather eat a ban and go grab a drink than playing horribly matchmade JiP games or solo vs full team or Breakout.

And that's a typical over-thinking response. I get people want 343 to be telling us everything, but the appetite for news, or rather the absolute foot-stamping impatience with which it is awaited is not entirely reasonable, imo. The game launched three weeks ago and has had a big update and playlist changes already. It means 'new game modes', which could be new to Halo 5, or new to the series in general. The point is, there are more game modes in the pipeline, assuming what he said is 100% fixed.

Does anyone know what req level you have to be to use the Energy Bayonet DMR and the Laser Sighted DMR? I unlocked both in my last gold pack last night but was going to bed so haven't had a chance to try them yet.
Yesterday played some BTB, man some matches were brutal for me, I think there was one i went 10-22 sone moments during the game i felt the other team was just taking their base sniper and our sniper and controlling midbase in basin, it was fun either way, I do get that Halo 3 vibe from this game when it comes to the fun Im having.
Gametypes Like oddball and KotH should be insane in Halo 5, 343, please!!!!!

Shit, I'll take it.
Oh, also, I just remembered that there was... something, a comment from I think Josh in response to a request for Ricochet that stuff like Griffball and... I think one other would be first. So we are getting new game modes, it's just a question of when. I'm betting on them coming with Forge. BigEvilTurtle, you can calm down now.
I think all of the Energy Bayonet gear is level 8. Not sure about the laser sight, but I can't see that being lower than 6.

Yep. Not sure why people are getting bent out of shape. But I guess people will always find something to flip tables over. There's plenty of content to chew on as it is. Old modes and the like getting added back in will only enrich what we already have.

it's actually a deliberately exaggerated response. Not much "over-thinking" in it.
Wanting some clarification on vague statements doesn't qualify as absolute impatience.
How is over-thinking?...
People just wanna know if this game will support oddball and koth like every halo before it.
A simple yes or no would suffice, instead of giving these annoying nebulous answers...
Saying you are working on new stuff isn't news at all... I'm under the assumption that they aren't sitting around the office twiddling their thumbs...

Did this, still fucked.
Are you downloading the game or using the disc?

This. Not some complex equation to wrap your brain around. It's very much like CoD not launching with Search and Destroy and any sort of Hardcore mode and Activision/3Arc etc. going, "we're working on new modes for the future".
When you remove staples of a long-standing franchise without clear intent and time-frames you're going to piss people off. Plain and simple.
I mean... i'm working on cold fusion... but well, ya' know.

I wish 343 could just force everything into a different graphics engine. Imagine Halo 5 on the CryEngine. Fuck that would be awesome. Halo engine has aged pretty terribly with the exception of a few things. BTB is fun but the forge palette is downright revolting, and I'm not a graphics snob. The building blocks are straight out of a fisher price toy set and the ground's textures look stretched over the ground like a tarp. I know 60fps comes with graphical constraints, but is the One so weak we can't even get some grass?
