I think those H2 glitches couldn't be worked and patched.
Regarding sprint, you might considered it a gamebreaking mechanic, but from the developing stand point it is put there to work as intended, the button combo for the slide was not something 343 programed in the system, and hence it is a game breaking glitch.
from what I saw in the video, that super slide gave the player a way to go across a map too fast, and it definitely feel like something problematic if you are playing in a objective gametype game, imagine this slide on a CTF game.

Nothing for quitters yet, it's almost like 343I doesn't even acknowledge this as a problem.

Uhh, the Requisitions page on halowaypoint is listing the different categories in Spanish...

I'll ask again.
This; it's the worst offender of the BTB bunch for people climbing on top of the map and raining down Light/Binary rifle shots
Happens when they are working on the site. The other day they were in Asian characters

I doubt many other players have been trying to justify spending $100 on gold packs, either.
EDIT: guys, when he says "game-breaking" i'm pretty sure he's referring to the actual game engine, not competitive metagame.
If you downloaded the 3.3gb update, I don't see why they wouldn't be?
BTB is showing as ranked again? lol

Didn't they take a day or so to go live within the ecosystem last update?

If it's not on Waypoint it's not live, I believe someone here said.

Slide boost breaks map flow and intended design as far as spawning and things like that are concerned. I'm fine with it being removed. The game plays better than any other Halo game without slide boost.

It takes a day or so for the new REQs to proliferate properly, I'd wait a bit.
Slide boost made map movement more interesting and added another layer of depth.

"bububu it played even better than even it own game with slide boost, are you saying slide boost is a bad???"

BUT WILL WE EVER HAVE ONE-SIDED ASSAULT BACK?? There's an Ozzy out there waiting to know....... an Ozzy in all of us, foaming at the mouth, waiting for one-sided objectives to return!
Yeah I mean, it's the one glitch I've seen happen every time I play the map now. When the Complex Halo 4 window glitch came, it was patched within days because of how widespread it became and how people would hide with oddball in there etc.
Again, Frank/Tashi, please get the team to fix Antifreeze.

Can someone check if we can spawn with H2BR and SPNKr in custom games for me?

One sided objectives were some of the most fun and iconic ways to play Halo. However, with Halo 5's quitting epidemic, I'm sure those gametypes would not end well unless otherwise addressed...

Hope we see pelecins as props in forge eventually, plenty of maps could use them.
They knew people were gonna break out of the map at some point so not surprised they stuck an easter egg in there. Can't wait for Assault
it made players get to point A to point B in an instant that for sure...I wouldn't want to see how interesting a CTF game would had been.
Not sure about SPNKr, can't with the H2BR

Can't do it sadly, just checked.
They need to return at least, but maybe as one-round per team.
As if quitting is a new thing in H5, lol.

As if I didn't know that already.
It's something that's brought up constantly and it's a valid concern. In my experience, it happens a lot. Put in a one sided objective that demands patience and perseverance...I don't have faith in the current online community to stick it out.
EDIT:
Does anyone think that accumulating negative REQ points would help quitting? Quit, you get punished, temp banned, and -2500 REQ points or something like that.

I'm still curious as to why 343 can't take elements from some Warzone maps and stick them in BTB? :'(

Literally every other Halo has been fine. Halo 5 will be fine.
The community has never stuck out 1 sided objectives and that's probably why 343 didn't bother.
1 Flag is my favorite game mode, but I've probably had less than 100 legitimate matches of it since its inception, lol.

It's not great. It's cool in theory and yes it's sort of like old Halo glitches that somewhat worked within the meta game. All the maps would have to be redesigned to leave it in though. Even in slayer, if one team can immediately slide boost to a power weapon that's breaking the way halo is supposed to play at its core. Not to mention how much it strains the spawning system, and how it effects objective games like CTF and Strongholds.
I don't think anybody would be advocating for the jetpack to remain in competitive Halo Reach or Halo 4 if it was just a little tricky to use. It just breaks down map design.

I'm sure you are right. I'm not advocating for not releasing 1 sided objectives because of it.
I'm just tired of players ruining my experience with the game. After playing CSGO and loving it's strict enforcement policies on quitting/griefing, I have a much lower tolerance for it. Also, being one man down feels somehow worse than Halo 1 or Halo 2, but maybe that's just me.
Yikes...Now that I think of it, your guess is pretty close to mine. I loved 1 flag on Zanzibar, but people did flake out consistently.
What are those? and that's is PC right?
Warzone is their money maker and that's their main concern. No matter how subtle, all decisions are made with profits in mind. Very nature of everything being RNG. Personally, I don't like playing warzone and gaining req points is pretty slow.

Oh my, the Halo 2 BR should be standard. Just patch it into everything, please, including campaign.

PC culture ruining gaming imo
I haven't used it, but based on the trailer it looks like it feels very similar to the CE Magnum.

Excited to play riptide and urban. Still have a ton of silver packs to go so probably won't get to try the new REQs for awhile. UI updates are fine but still need better organization for armor and post-game medals. I'd also like to see the score of my friends game w/o having to spectate (wasn't this a feature in H3)?

Yes, it's on PC.
So the way it goes, is your first quitting/griefing offense you are excused. Do it again within a week and you get a 30 minute cool down. Do it again within another 7 days, you get a 2 hour cool down. Do it again in another 7 days, you get a 48 hour cool down. Do it again in another 7 days, you get a 7 day ban.
You must wait a full 7 days without infractions to be lowered in the "punishment tier."
I rarely see people quit during CSGO matches. It also helps that when you disconnect, the main menu prompts you to reconnect or abandon the match.
how is that possibly ruining a competitive game? Even if Halo 5 isn't what I want it to be, it's still a highly competitive experience in Arena/Slayer/Breakout. A lot of the fun is in trying to win. Quitters ruin the game in an instant.

First game of Warzone Assault on Urban, nice.
I'd like for that.
Interesting.

Dat scope.
And it feels very similar to the BR from Halo 2. Sound, aiming, animations, everything. Like an actual gun.
The classic scope of the Halo 2 BR looks amazing. I'll probably use this all the time in Warzone now. Shoots and feels just as good as ever.
Riptide also is very well done. Can't wait to see how it will play, but so far so good. Definitely doesn't feel/look like a Fathom remix.
