Great news about the colour updates, and yeah wondering what the blurry legendary is, CE Pistol? Can't make it out though.

For top of pageness:

Live stream is on the 26th, so that means it'll probably drop on the 29th. Last day of February.

Uggggghhhhh

 

[Welfare]

I swear that blurred legendary is armor. That doesn't look like a weapon.

 

[Forerunner]

Some of those armors look like Helioskrill, guess they giving it out now. Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Solid update, I like patch notes section for the UI changes. "Here's what people wanted, here's what we gave them." Good stuff, keep it up :]

Definitely not lol. I'd be surprised if they don't drop the CE Pistol in its own update, probably next month too right in time for my birthday.

You read that, Tashi? My birthday's on March 25th, pliss make it a great month <3

 

[Glass]

Yeah, it kind of looks more like a figure, almost like a grunt silhouette with those short limbs and big backpack....but since that doesn't make sense, I'm calling the next logical figure it could be....an all black undersuit figure lets goooo!

 

[SmartWaffles]

..So anyone have any idea what the blurred Legendary req is next to the Gravity Hammer? Can not tell what it is at all.

Unlikely to be a weapon, so my guess is armor, could be vehicle too.

 

[Velcoro]

Grifball should be fun. Oddball in next update I hope.

 

[Feel the Swift]

Hope not just CTF is in social but that's what it seems like :/

Finally sage though. It's about time

 

[Forerunner]

The new weapons look like Storm Rifles.

 

[Glass]

Some of the new colours and armour variations

 

[Magwik]

Id say it's a Supressor

 

[Fata1moose]

No new Warzone map this month? Makes sense considering there's only going to be 3.

 

[Glass]

Oh my

Ok, that's pretty cool, very well done.

 

[Glass]

I'm off to bed, when I wake up I expect us to all have figured out what this is

Might I suggest enhancing. Maybe zoom in on the reflection.

 

[blamite]

That Mythic Legendary honestly looks like Master Chief standing in front of a background or something.

What if it's a new mechanic like in Battlefront, where you become Luke Skywalker for a life?

I was thinking something like that. To me it kind of looks like the Warden.

The Decimator helmet (directly to the right of the guy in front) looks a lot like Reach's Mk V here.

 

[blakep267]

Ughhhh why are updates the the end of the month now :'(

Usually the live stream the live stream is the second or third Friday. Why would they have it on the 4th Friday? Maybe bravo is mistaken there. The updates usually drop in Tuesday or Wednesday so that put it in March

 

[JackHerer]

Halo 5 Pretty much does the same thing from what I can see...



Close match

Like I said... It's usually pretty good. But their are some weird things that can occur now due to how they changed it to match very closely to your MMR and not your rank.

 

[Bread]

Team fiesta yesssss!

For some reason, I see an (armless?) Grunt...

EDIT:

 

[Defect]

So Torque is a brand new map? Hope it's good.

 

[JackHerer]

The color update is much appreciated because the current ones looks pretty darn bad (except dark red). What I would have liked to hear though is that they are adding the ability to view your medals in-game. When is that feature coming?

 

[Poodlestrike]

While the title is brash, this guy has this pretty spot on. Only 11 minutes, and felt was worth sharing. His Halo 4 videos are pretty good, but WAY longer. Don't mind the title.

"this guy's videos."

Right.

EDIT:

I definitely see it too. Looks distinctly gruntlike to me. GBP in multi maybe?

 

[Samurai G0SU]

New stance with grunt pose?

 

[link1201]

So Torque is a brand new map? Hope it's good.

I'm a little apprehensive because it's a base in space. Bad things happen when they do maps based in space stations.

 

[sir_dany12]

That was a bad community update. I thought it would be better Bravo :'(

 

[Strider]

Got 4 Spartan Charge kills in my most recent match. Puttin in work toward that achilles

 

[Unfriendly TimeTraveler]

Hoping they put in ricochet and oddball in actual playlist soon because those are the two game types I want the most. But overall the update is great and surprised they did that with colors. Do we know if griff ball we be just on one map or multiple maps?

We know that NOKYARD has created a special griffball court for H5. If it's the same one he showed a sneak peak of in the Forge thread then it will be very colorful and make use of some cool scripting for aesthetics. No word on if there will be multiple griffball maps.

You don't know the meaning of a bad weekly update until you've been a Destiny fan.

I love the 343 updates in comparison. Bravo >>>> Deej

 

[JackHerer]

?

The dream.

Imagine if it actually was a grunt and it followed you around and helped you out in Warzone, stripping shields for you with its plasma pistol.

Actually, think how crazy Warzone would get if you could use REQ energy to call in AI allies to help you assault a base....

 

[PensOwl]

Since they featured flapjack frenzy in the update, I'm guessing 343 is keeping the vehicle welding glitch in? Or even better, make it an official feature

 

[SpartanN92]

Jesus that noble 6 "decimator" armor is a travesty...can they do any armors right?

 

[Nutter]

It looks fine to me. Though that puke green is probably making it look worse than it is.

 

[EroticSushi]

Didn't even realize that it was suppose to be that.

wth happened

343 is ruining incredible Halo designs... I mean why are they just so fucking hell bent on cartionizing Halo? This looks like something out of a goddamn anime drawn by a retarded blind kid

 

[Forerunner]

People are saying it's the Fist of Rukt, I mean that would make sense given the update. It fits both legendary and mythic, plus the update is called Hammer Storm.

Guess we have to wait and see.

 

[BraXzy]

Wtf? Why are all of the legacy helmets getting such bad remakes?

The in-game model for Decimator looks way better than that model.

It's armor in a videogame, get a grip.

The Legendary might be the Fist of Rukt or whatever the fuck Tartarus' hammer was called. I wanna know what that new DMR attachment is...?

 

[Trup1aya]

Like I said... It's usually pretty good. But their are some weird things that can occur now due to how they changed it to match very closely to your MMR and not your rank.

shouldnt that be viewed as a positive though? It's just a means to get you into competitive matches even if you CSR is lagging or gated by the inability to derank.


Regarding the update, I was really hoping for some news on Fileshare and maybe a customs browser... The lack of those two things holds this game back tremendously.
