Congrats Fats

NOW DIE IN HELL

EDIT: It's fucking beautiful. I played H2A yesterday just to shoot that bad girl

 

[Ryouji Gunblade]

I got my first non-Mark VI chest armor that I wanted the other day. The Mark V Alpha. It's pretty good, but the shield emitter placement is whack.

Not me.

Higher bullet magnetism than the base H5 BR does not make the gun 'broken'. That's the point of the gun, it shoots and fires like it did in H2. Just like when the CE pistol comes, we'll get something that will probably be much harder to aim but will possibly give us 3sk headshots if we nail it. Who knows.

It breaks up the sheer monotony of the game and that's a good thing. H2 BR fun as hell to use in H5 the few times I've been able to. A weekend of it on custom maps, yes please. Would beat snipers on fathom or Pegasus again for sure.

 

[Doge]

BR starts? Bleh. Doubles? Yay.

That's cool they want people to play with H2BR, but man, the BR as it is already has mad magnetism and they want you to start with the H2 variant, which even has better magnetism? That's nuts.

The gun hits the target even if you don't actually hit the target. Isn't that OP?

Aim assist? You don't even have to have the crosshair on the person and the bullets will magnetize to them.

So you mean to tell me, the 'Halo 2 BR' fires exactly like the Halo 2 BR? That's the point. It has higher bullet magnetism because it's meant to replicate how it fired.

I mean the gun is available in exactly one map in Arena, in one area. It's also a legendary mythic weapon for Warzone use. Don't understand the OP part? Is it easier to shoot with relative to the H5 BR? Yes. But it also has a slightly higher TTK.

I mean I don't understand the complaints. Is it because you don't want to use the weapon? Because if all you want is the H5 BR, then they would just have you use Halo 5 Classic Scope BR.

No man, I want to use the gun, but you said it wasn't broken and it just had more aim assist, what's incorrect. I was just correcting you, not saying that I don't want to use the weapon or that I think it shouldn't be included as a pick up weapon on Arena.
I'm fine with it.

Because of the magnetism, the gun does most of the work for you. If anyone is complaining it would be about that. I am not going to complain about it, I just thought it was nuts. I am going to play the playlist regardless.

cool. custom maps better mean reduced power weapons and power ups though

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Am I the only one who is not a fan of the Mark IV helm in Halo 5? Something about it is way off to me.

I'd much prefer the Mark IV Grenadier helmet from Reach:

or the Mark V from CE:

Both look far superior

You mean the Mk. V Alpha? Everyone hates that. The Mk IV is currently the best helmet in Halo 5. Most wanted something along the lines of Mk V from CE, CEA, 3 or 4, but we got a turd in Mk. V Alpha instead.

It has a bizarre oversized chin look.

The Halo Wars rendition has the same issue.

I'd much prefer the Mark IV Grenadier helmet from Reach:

Grenadier sans attachments is probably my favorite helmet from Reach. Clean, simple, generally well-proportioned without any weird business.

or the Mark V from CE:

Nah.

I personally don't think the Mk V ever transitioned well out of Halo 1's original visuals. In some renditions it looks like a big cylinder, in some it looks out of place for being too plain, in some the details just come across as having a sort of odd plastic bubbliness to them.

Actually, I think the Chief's armor in Halo 4 might be the series' best attempt at porting the jet fighter tank aesthetic of the OG Mk V to a higher-fidelity visual style.

Niceeeeeee, looks like I'm gonna be playing a lot of Halo this weekend

I've not used the H2 Br much still so this will be a nice chance to. Still waiting on that elusive REQ unlock.

Wow, I really am in the minority. Cool to see other people's opinions though XD

I'm fine with it.

I get what you're saying. I'm more responding generally too, because I read up on waypoint, reddit halo saying things like it's too much magnetism etc. It's not like it's pull the trigger get a guaranreed kill. You still need to aim it somewhat. It just mimics how much magnetism was in the H2 version, from the sights and sounds as well. But you're right, it is an easier weapon to use. I don't think it necessarily game breaking either since it's in one spawn point in one Arena map and everyone glosses over it. Something like storm rifle versus AR is OP. H2 BR Vs Halo 5 BR, even with the higher bullet magnetism, I don't think it's as clear cut OP. Maybe at my garbage tiers everyone seems to not want to use it?

 

[CloudyTuba]

Just like almost everyone else, I think the Mark 5 (Alpha) looks like crap in Halo 5. The Mark 4 Gen1 looks way more like the classic Chief Mk5, though they were always similar.

The armor I want more than any in this game is the Mk4 helmet with the Mk5a armor so that I can look like the original H1 spartan.

CEA's Mk V looks great, but I understand why they didn't bother a straight port of it again after having it in previous games. The Mk IV is basically the classic Mark V with some slight tweaks and a more sloping front.

While I think the Mk V Alpha helmet they came up with feels like a misstep akin to the Reach Mk V, I think the Mk V Alpha armor looks really nice. A good fusion of the S-IV sleeker style and the chunky OG armor.

[Deputy Moonman]

I don't know. neither one of the Mark V versions in halo 3 and 4 looked anything like the original CE or CEA version to me. So I don't know why 343 would avoid putting one out there. It's not like there aren't fifty types of each new helmet in Halo 5 ranging from common to rare anyway.

Halo 3

Halo 4

Halo CEA

Not even close in my opinion.


I want the overly large and round visor from CEA. In Halo 3, I used the marathon helmet quite a bit because I loved how obnoxiously huge the visor was.

 

[BradC00]

I haven't played in around 35 days due to being away from my xbox, but I am doing my placements for season 2 now.

did they remove ramp boosting and fast dropping?

No, I mean I know that the security helmet is in halo 5. If I ever unlock it I'll probably use it a bit. But I still want the CEA version of the Mark V. That's all.

I'm curious what modes do most of you spend playing?

For me: TS>WZ>BTB>WZA

I have been spending more time in WZA over WZ lately. I like the faster games and it's just overall more fun than WZ.

If I have a group of 4 that I feel is capable, team arena. If not, slayer. Besides those two, MLG warzone, which is warzone assault lol

When I first started: WZ > everything

Now: WZA > Arena modes > WZ

WZ needs some heavy tweaking. Legendaries should be worth half value as they are right now. NPC enemies should attack territories and form new neutral zones.
