So assault is 5v5 ? My hype is already dead..

That is a shame.

 

[blue_phazon]

They took the fuel rod out of Riptide Slayer. There's just a hydra launcher on that spot now

 

[Feel the Swift]

Assault 5v5 is a night mare lol, huge opportunity to work on your K/D and aim with so many targets though.

 

[sir_dany12]

ah ffs... this is disappointing... was assault added to Team Arena? (was Breakout Arena removed?)

Nop. Maybe after the HCS..
Breakout arena was removed a month ago.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Purists ain't gonna be happy. :x

Wonder if it came off as too difficult during testing. If the fans're vocal enough, they could just change it back though.

Let's put it this way, I don't think it should be a loadout weapon. That's saying a lot lol.

Using it now against a friend and it's insanely strong as a hitscan weapon. Like.. borderline overpowered. Using this in Warzone is going to be frikkin hilarious :b

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Finally sage color is BACK! I know maybe this doesn't mean too much for some of you but to me it means a lot, THANK YOU 343 INDUSTRIES!

Legendary mythic

Well, looks like I'll unlock it in 2019 then.

I'm still waiting to unlock that damn Noble helmet for pete's sake. :'(

 

[BraXzy]

WHY. IS. THERE. NO. FIESTA. PLAYLIST.

It's already pretty cluttered with Assault and Grifball added to the mix. I'm guessing it'll come as a Weekend thing? Maybe Assault will get removed and left in Team Arena.

 

[Defect]

CE pistol is hitscan? Why?

 

[RdN]

I feel like the RP rewards for Grifball are currently too low..

 

[MaGlock]

I feel like the RP rewards for Grifball are currently too low..

Played a game earlier to grind a few sword kills like 650 req points blehhhh

:/ Curious about its REQ Level now...

 

[Toa TAK]

Grifball still as fun as ever. Aching to play some Fiesta later on.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Fucking bullshit betrayal kicks.

I just scored three fucking points for these guys and then I get kicked because they're too busy sticking their thumbs up their asses to not run in front of my hammer.

Enjoy losing, dickwads.

I don't understand why 343 left that in. I honestly don't. It's baffling. It has to be an error.

And it's so easy to just kick the player, too. They're probably just pressing random buttons and BAM, teammate kicked. Hope lost.

 

[link1201]

Think it was Bravo who said that they'd be up around 5 EST. Don't spend anything until somebody confirms they're online.

I have req points to burn and was anxious lol.

 

[jem0208]

Assault is a lot of fun, although probably a bit too hectic in 5v5.


Torque also seems like a really solid map.

 

[G-DannY]

LOL. Plenty of kill farmers also in the brand new assault.

Achilles armor is now truly the only real curse to this game.

 

[Velikost]

Reach DMR 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

 

[Caja 117]

random question, can I connect 2 external HDD in the Xbox one at the same time?

 

[Trup1aya]

yup

On another note, what is with 343s enfatuation with 5v5?

 

[VincentMatts]

yup

On another note, what is with 343s enfatuation with 5v5?

Im pretty sure objectives games in bungies halo games were 5 on 5.

 

[Strider]

Did they add assault to Team Arena yet or no?

 

[im_dany]

First grifball game and a smartass decides to keep jumping on me while I'm using the hammer and kicks me out

:/

 

[link1201]

Did they explain the new armor mod? Looks to be something to do with Ground Pounding.

 

[Ashes2Bashers]

How can this 5v5 bullshit pass the quality tests in343..Have you ever playtest this ?This is unbeliavable..Who thought that this is gonna be fun?

 

[Blue Ninja]

I just spent twelve minutes with the worst lag ever, while the two sides decided killing eachother to pad their stats was more fun than actually playing the game.

Somebody would swing their hammer on the other side of the map and the game would still find a way to calculate that hammer hitting me in the face.

 

[jem0208]

I think it's loads of fun. It's not the most competitive thing ever and it's massively hectic but it's still fun.

 

[Strider]

Same. 5v5 is fine for social. It's not meant to be competitive sooooo.....

 

[belushy]

Just got in from work.

Was the Warzone Firefight the surprise that Frankie teased or is there something else too? (not saying Firefight is bad I'm super excited for it, jwing if there is going to be something else)

 

[inoperativ]

Same. 5v5 is fine for social. It's not meant to be competitive sooooo.....

+1

5v5 is fine for social, it's just chaotic fun.

Only played one match of grifball but it was actually more fun than I remembered, possibly because dedis means the game isn't over when the host is chosen.

 

[Nollemaster]

The Torque skybox the absolute best. I can imagine people getting motion sickness from all that spinning though.

 

[Strider]

First impression of Torque is I like it better than Riptide and OverGrowth... Obviously way to early to say whether it's good or bad but the sight lines are nice and clean for the most part at least.

I just woke up! HYPE! GIMMA THAT FIREFIGHT!

 

[Karl2177]

5v5 would be fine if either the maps were bigger or the spawn system would eliminate LoS spawns. As it is now, it blows donkey.

Also the "Block markup not found" bug returns.

 

[Feel the Swift]

People keep posting Reach DMR...this a running gag right? That shit was terrible.

 

[belushy]

MEMORIES OF REACH OMG

-Grenade Launcher
-Countdown remix
-Various Reach armors


Is all I want but more is of course appreciated!

 

[clav]

People keep posting Reach DMR...this a running gag right? That shit was terrible.

At this point, a great April fools joke would be having that as a real REQ.

That or the Halo 3 pistol.

 

[BraXzy]

Memories of Reach

 

[backflip10019]

Memories of Reach

Now this is how you Halo.

 

[Loomba]

Sword is gone from Overgrowth slayer? They have replaced it with a needler from what I can see

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

CE pistol is hitscan? Why?

• Mk. V not looking like the Mk. V we love.
• M6D being hitscan and incredibly easy to use.

At this point, a great April fools joke would be having that as a real REQ.

That or the Halo 3 pistol.

If they came back as projectile weapons, I'd love for the H3 BR and Magnum to return.

 

[BraXzy]

I opened a silver pack before, minutes after reading about not opening REQ packs yet. Brain pls.

 

[Fata1moose]

Assault is as good as it's ever been. Nice to have another great gametype in Halo 5.

 

[RedSparrows]

Has Fiesta ever been in matchmaking? I 100% expected it only in customs, which is the only place I have ever played it, I am sure.

 

[sir_dany12]

Has Fiesta ever been in matchmaking? I 100% expected it only in customs, which is the only place I have ever played it, I am sure.

I really dont know. I want it as a social playlist.

 

[blamite]

Oddball in matchmaking when???????????

Has Fiesta ever been in matchmaking? I 100% expected it only in customs, which is the only place I have ever played it, I am sure.

It was a weekend playlist in H3 and 4 and I think Reach as well? And it was definitely in Action Sack in all those games.

 

[belushy]

Oddball is so easy to make using the settings. Good shit 343. Now they just need to make CTF and Strongholds modular so we can make Stockpile and King of The Hill

 

[link1201]

Sword is gone from Overgrowth slayer? They have replaced it with a needler from what I can see

Really? Cool.

 

[op_ivy]

Sword is gone from Overgrowth slayer? They have replaced it with a needler from what I can see

fantastic!

also happy to see gauss and rail gun are now hit scan as both could be pretty inconsistent before

 

[Gnome Scat]

65 kills first game back in Grifball. Oh, how I missed you old friend.
