The Railgun is hitscan now? And the speed is increased?

Woah did not think they would tinker with weapons before Worlds, The Railgun at the tournament will be even more important

 

[Deputy Moonman]

The rail gun buff is insane

Wait they buffed it? Lol why? With how powerful all the weapons are I'm beginning to dislike the power ups less. There is no reason the over shield or invis pick ups need to be in the game. Theyre too powerful. I noticed several times while watching the last qualifiers that whoever ended up with the power ups first basically won the game. They should be good but not that good.

Can someone link me to the Reach update info?

http://news.xbox.com/2016/02/24/new...tent-detailed-as-hammer-storm-launches-today/

I like this part-

Among the vast array of new modes coming to Halo over the next several months is one that our fans have repeatedly asked us to deliver – Firefight. The new mode, called “Warzone Firefight”, will bring PvE to Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer and let players battle together against common foes (and truly show off their custom Spartans to boot!)

Everyone will show off their customization like FFA!*?* Sweet.

 

[Blue Ninja]

New update? Reach content in april??? FIREFIGTH WARZONE????

You just made me lol.

I'm so goddamn happy. I've said it since launch, but this game needs a dedicated PvE/co-op mode. That we're actually getting it just makes me so happy.

 

[nhlducks35]

Assault is great but I don't know why the announcer keeps saying ball instead of bomb

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

The Reach pack will include the grenade launcher. I feel it.

Hopefully we get that and the Falcon.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Matchmaking is taking a good while now... Probably due to the smaller player pool because of the update.

Yeah I couldn't find any games, so I jumped into gaf instead.

 

[link1201]

has any figured out how to re-roll

Doesn't it say you can't now?

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

I really, really hope Warzone firefight is basically MOBA in first person shooter form.

 

[Garrett 2U]

Does "Memories of Reach" mean the grenade launcher is returning?

 

[Azerth]

Doesn't it say you can't now?

haha ya im dumb

 

[Ghazi]

I don't think the Railgun buff was necessary at all, they just needed to fix it whiffing on targets like this.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

OMG Thank you 343i, THANK YOU I'm speechless I really was not expecting Firefight, man the amount of support that 343i are giving the game is absolutely insane

 

[Blue Ninja]

I really, really hope Warzone firefight is basically MOBA in first person shooter form.

It needs to be first person Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. Just go nuts.

 

[Glass]

Firefight in Halo 5?

 

[SenseiAsad]

haha ya im dumb

Nah, when the notes first went up it said you could re-roll, it was a mistake, it was meant to say it prevents people from re-rolling (according to Bravo over on r/halo).

 

[blakep267]

So is fiesta only a custom game type or is it also in any of the matchmaking lists? Can't seem to find it there

 

[Deputy Moonman]

I don't think the Railgun buff was necessary at all, they just needed to fix it whiffing on targets like this.

I had a game where I missed at least 3 to 4 railgun shots that were aimed dead on and I thought it was me. Good to know I wasn't going crazy.

Should come with language packs, just like ODST and Reach.

 

[IHaveIce]

for some weird reason they#ve put it in arena I guess

 

[Samurai G0SU]

^ YEAH!!!

Let's use M'Shak or BBs!! Maybe even Buck or Vale. Greowl!!

 

[Fuchsdh]

Agreed, hope they really go for it. That said, even if it's just a bum-rush of AI towards a core or something that wouldn't be an unenjoyable experience The Warzone prefix could mean it integrates Warzone-type objectives, or just that it takes place on Warzone maps, etc...

Could be as simple as Warzone assault with AI—have to hold areas as long as you can for points, when you get overrun you move to the next checkpoint. Or maybe it's just like Firefight Limited on a portion of the map.

Would be cool if they did something with REQs and secondary objectives like the Warzone bosses, though.

 

[backflip10019]

Let's get Charles Martinet to record some MP announcer dialogue.

Or maybe Ice Cube.

 

[UKUMI0]

Ignore me, apparently i don't know what i'm talking about.

 

[clav]

Does "Memories of Reach" mean the grenade launcher is returning?

Hopefully we get that and the Falcon.

Throw in the airstrike and armor lock perks.

 

[Karl2177]

Hopefully we get that and the Falcon.

if(gamertag.equalsIgnoreCase("funknown ixi")){

grenadeLauncher.replaceAsset(new ConcussionRifle concRifle);​

}

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Grifball and Fiesta will both appear in Social playlists in the coming weeks, this week is Assault. You can however use both gamemodes in customs.

Wait... is this how they're handling it? They're not going to be separate modes but rotating weekend modes!?

If that's the case... that's crap.

 

[Blue Ninja]

So, Grifball ist the kill trading market hub. It's kinda sad.

 

[BraXzy]

NAH UH , I said it first! I said it will be released at e3!

I don't see a post? Link or bust

Everyone will show off their customization like FFA!*?* Sweet.

Did you not see the sneak peak footage? Everyone had their own colours

Does "Memories of Reach" mean the grenade launcher is returning?

Hahahahahhahaa. Don't be silly. It clearly means Armour Lock is set to make a return.

 

[Juanfp]

Really curious about the Reach update

 

[sir_dany12]

I dont believe I cant play Fiesta lol
343 really has a poor playlist management lol

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Really curious about the Reach update

All the Noble team armor could be just the tip of the iceberg, I mean we already have the Carter helmet and the Emile assassination

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

No CE Pistol starting weapon in Customs at the moment ;'[

Throw in the airstrike and armor lock perks.

Ordnance Drops in Firefight making a return would be awesome for the Target Locator.

if(gamertag.equalsIgnoreCase("funknown ixi")){

grenadeLauncher.replaceAsset(new ConcussionRifle concRifle);​

}

lol

 

[Detective]

Man.. I've been playing Halo 5 and only halo 5 since it launched.

All my other games has been forgotten.

And now, I really don't know what to do. This is just amazing.

More and more reasons to just keep playing until Halo 6

 

[blue_phazon]

Wait so where can I play fiesta in matchmaking?

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Ugh not the best first game of the day... Moose were you playing solo or with a team? I felt like I was getting pinged from every where on spawn

 

[Sai]

Aw, there's no Gold on the color palette. Coral's about the closest I can get to matching the Gold Standard weapon skins—Sulfer's too bright, while Dijon's too dingy.

I hope they allow us to customize the color of the body suits independently.

 

[buddha0991]

They should put Fiesta in Action Sack

Also they should have put the Halo CE Pistol on an arena map like the Halo 2 BR

 

[Welfare]

What a day to wake up to! Updating now.

I'm actually really hyped to play Halo 5 today.

 

[BradC00]

Throw in the airstrike and armor lock perks.

and armor lock perks.

armor lock

TRIGGERED.

 

[Sebtrt]

Betrayal booting is on in the Grifball playlist. I can already see many half empty games.

 

[sir_dany12]

Wait so where can I play fiesta in matchmaking?

You can't.
Management playlist yoooo

 

[Magwik]

PSA GRIFFBALL IS PERFECT FOR SPARTAN CHARGE KILLS

 

[backflip10019]

You can't.
Management playlist yoooo

Wait, fiesta isn't a public playlist?

WHY.

Betrayal booting is on in the Grifball playlist. I can already see many half empty games.

Makes for quick RP at least...

 

[Fuchsdh]

Also, in regards to the fears of "no Infection!"


... Every single future image is a placeholder (that's an actual Reach shot, and that warthog looks like H3 concept stuff, and that Meridian screen looks like a campaign shot of the non-combat play space.)

No need to rustle your jimmies.

 

[BraXzy]

PSA GRIFFBALL IS PERFECT FOR SPARTAN CHARGE KILLS

I was just thinking the power weapon and melee stuff will be super quick in Grifball

 

[buddha0991]

Fiesta might be a double xp weekend playlist or something

 

[Complicated]

Edit: Top of page. Perfect.

 

[Blue Ninja]

So, my first few thoughts on Grifball:

- Spartan Charge is a joke here.
- The range in which you can detone the bomb is a joke. It's literally a pinprick.
- The lunge on the hammer is ridiculous, especially coupled with Spartan Charge.
- The hammer's damage output is still wildly inconsistent. I can hit an enemy straight in the face and he'll shrug it off, but then one will zoom halfway across the map and whack me into the stratosphere.

Maybe it's to do with getting matched on non-European servers, I dunno. Bur right now, I'm not feeling it. I really enjoyed Grifball before but in the two games I've played I've spent more time swearing at the bullshit happening on my screen than actually having fun.
