No way that's crazy
That must have been really difficult to pull off.
Should be a medal or a commendation. Just imagine decimation, or send them back to school.

How is this possible? I've seen bad games but for nobody getting any kills on the other team seems wrong. Like if I ever had a game like that I would quit halo. Seems fake but idk for sure. I could never imagine this happening and feel sorry for that team that got zero points.

This thread kind of went quiet all of a sudden. I have a question though. I've been selling my arena/warzone boost cards and wanted to know what you actually get out of them. Experience doesn't really matter to me because increasing my sr-level and getting a few extra emblems is not that important to me. So how many extra req points can you get out of them, say when compared to simply selling the card immediately for 100 to 150 points?
EDIT:
Also, I equipped the hellcat armor and woof! It should have been called thunder thigh armor instead.

RP boosts and jackpots will always give more RP than selling them.
Selling XP boosts is arguably OK, but you get much better Promotion Packs the higher your SR is, and you can sell what's in those... I've come to believe the XP is worth it

The amount of solo vs full team in arena and slayer is disgusting.

It happened. First DMR unlocked @ SR82. Thank fuck that's over.

Cool thanks for the info. I'll start using instead of selling them.
Can't disagree with you there. If 343 ever institutes a mercenary playlist I will declare Halo 5 the best halo ever. period. Well that and they need some new maps - homegrown would be nice. I love the fluidity of halo 5's movement. I'm still trying to figure out why sometimes it feels like other players can strafe back and forth way quicker than myself in a gunfight but that's alright.
Congrats Ozzy! I'm at 36 - almost there! ;-D

Pretty sure this is only possible on Noctus, the other map layouts don't really allow for it.
March on Stormbreak also. That's where the 1000-1 happened.

Stormbreak I could also see since you could rush their boss at the start. Still have to haul ass to get there lol.

Netcode and differences in player connections basically. A guy with 10ms latency is going places and getting less network prediction or server side rejects on actions etc than a player with 125ms. I've gotten to the point in Halo 5 now I can basically tell if I'm going to have a good or shit game based on the first few movements of a game starting. You literally move way smoother and more responsive when you have a local dedi-server hosting the game.
When we party a solid team of 4 it's the dedis determining the game outcome most of the time. Players who can go 15-30 kills very consistently go to having 5-10 kills consistently. It's Internet voodoo and it sucks.

I wondered as much, but wasn't sure. That does suck.
When you're done playing custom 1v1's against a controller sitting on the floor, let us know.

whenever im' playing I feel like i run around a map for 30+ seconds searching for opposing players and literally see nobody, only to be assassinated myself the next second or else completely surrounded by the opposing team. feels bad man.

Can confirm, actually I can tell if the game is laggy by looking at the countdowns and loading screens now, I get tons of games where even the deploying countdown and loading lags, the initial intro cutscene lags, and guess what, the game lags! I literally lose every single 1v1 gunfights now just because of the dedis situation, the Asians are getting the even shorter straw compared to aussies.

is actually the second 1000-0 reported

Finally managed to get a killing frenzy in arena. It was in the team slayer playlist and I got it on the map riptide. The enemy team I faced was terrible enough to let me get. I just kept on killing them with a fuel rod cannon I grabbed from it's pad on the map.This is my second killing frenzy in halo 5.
Also is anyway noticing anything weird going on with the servers lately. Sometimes reqs don't load for me at all and I'm also starting to get the weird glitch more often were the game tries to load matches that have more players than the playlist can handle. Like while trying to load a warzone or arena match it will try to match me with 79 players,112 players or some other random number of players whenever the glitch appear and 2/3 of the times this glitch appeared the game crashed.

Got the pizza skin last night, that thing is so weird, but appetizing.
Don't like how 80% of packs have a loadout weapon I don't need or want. Do people actually like the crazy amount of BRs and ARs you can get for warzone?

I don't know if you're counting those, but every maxed commendations gives you a rare emblem apart form one (SPNKR gives you an uncommon one for some reason)
90% of the items in the req system are undesirable to me. I just need my Classic BR, my rail guns, my sniper rifles, my ONI/ultra vehicles, and I'm good to go.
ah no I didn't count them.
Considering there are 99 rare emblems I needed, I feel a bit better now. Although not by much!

the best feature from rocket leauge 343 needs to borrow is letting you select multiple playlists to matchmake into

This was a fun game to start the day with. We're up by quite a bit at the beginning, mid game we start to lose control and they take the lead. At the end it was 47-49 and we managed to win, it could have easily went either way. This is why arena is so good at times!
Well I just decided to plunk down the coin for the Arena pack since it guaranteed the Mk V armor I was looking at. It's definitely nice, although the death animations in-game show that Halo 5 is not really prepared for the return of the space diaper to models 
Probably will be the last pack I get at this point too, I feel like I've chucked enough money their way and I got all the actual meaningful gameplay items at this point anyhow. Now just back to the normal grind.

So. theres only one more weekday in feb, and thats the following monday.
Seems like they are gonna be up against it
Last month was basically a February update anyhow, so it's not that surprising.

No one is going to be upset if the February update releases on March 1st will they?
Probably at the end of the month.
