My bad, wasn't really saying anything negative towards you lol. Couldn't pass up on a switch-flipping joke in a Halo thread.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYdX9geon6UIt's just that easy! Just like replacing Guillotine and Deadlock variants with the new ones and adding new community maps into BTB. They're just being lazy devs, totally.
Didn't really think about the Ghosts part of the name, good thinking. I suppose if they were bringing that, they'd want to keep the cards close to their chest for now.
This guy gets it.
Too true, too true. Next you'll be telling me Halo 5 is getting a mini version of Halo Wars 2 as a new game mode/expansion.

Yes Headhunter!
What I'd be happy with:
HeadHunter
Noble team armors
Reach DMR
Grenade Launcher
Falcon
A few of Reach's maps. SWORDBASE

Reach had the worst maps. I expect we'll get forge world though. A new forgeworld would be better. With Timberlands, Sidewinder and Coag prefabs in their original aesthetic.

Just had an assault match on Empire where we came back from 2 down with 2 minutes to go. Went sudden-death, and personally scored to clinch it.
So goood.
So goood.
I approve

Forgot about this! The Revenant, right? Would love to see this in Halo 5's sandbox.
Those of you mentioning the bloom DMR are weird though. Super weird. :I

I came back from school and work expecting a cool new REQ pack or exclusive set of skins ...
... and I get Warzone Firefight and HammerStorm is out apparently.

This was me this morning. Get on the bus, do a little studying before class, log back on during lecture and holy mother of God.

Put in the Reach DMR in the game but make it have all the crappy bloom and have it be much easier to obtain in Req Packs and make it Rank 5!
Also, hmm...
HMM....
HMMMMMMMMMM...

More like rank 3, the Halo 5 BR will destroy it at almost any range I would imagine.
I did 24 Spartan Charges in Grifball out of 30 kills. Such a shame that they don't count towards Spartan Commendations. lol
Also, cross quoting from the Forge thread:
People are fast finding these exploits. lmao

GRIFFBALL IS FUN

They really did a great job of replicating Halo 3 Grifball. There is lag fucking everywhere.
I feel like 343i has finally learned the virtues of under promising and over delivering. This is something I've been critical about since the game launched.
This time around, They set us up to believe the update would barely make its February deadline, then they push up the reveal, but leave out the update launch date... SURPRISE it's the very next day.
Then , after the stream, stinkles comes on here and tells us there will be some medium sized announcements... We're all tempering out expecations, because we've been disappointed before....
Low and behold, fucking Firefight!!!
This is PR done right...

Blissful Slumber is pretty ridiculous for a level three req. It melts people.
It's why I don't understand why people constantly insist they be more specific with the dates. There's literally no benefit to doing so; better to give a soft date and get it out when it's ready rather than disappointing people if something slips.
Damn I thought it'd be fool proof :3
Yeah in the few games of Warzone I played earlier I wanted to say it's OP for the REQ level but it might be too early to say that

Yeah it's a nice one, but I think my top three are Backbreaker, Lift Off and Stop Stabbing Yourself. I usually rock out with Backbreaker because the other two get replaced by the default assassination too often.Terminal Velocity's my new favorite Assassination.
Had to take a break, but I hope to see some of you guys on later.

BTW since we got Arbiter in Killer Instinct, we should get Fulgore armor in Halo

Assault is seriously amazing in this game. The changes they've made to the ball carrier make it so much better. Carrying the bomb in previous games was a massive chore but now it's genuinely quite fun. Juking people with the double thrust is awesome and the melee is has that sickening crunch to it and is incredibly satisfying.
Well done 343.

Anyone play with the ce pistol yet?

Also before it was revealed, people thought that the CE Pistol image was actually a very blurry Fist of Rukt. I wonder how you would make a legendary version of the Gravity Hammer work. Increased blast radius and knock-back maybe?
I don't want to burn a card ;-;
It creates the same effect as the Void's Tear

Hey thats actually not a bad idea
It's on Recurve, its the bridge area near the middle. There is one for each side.
Picked it up and it was the best thing ever.
The only time it's ok to give specific dates is if the product is already done, well ahead of schedule or your confident you'll release BEFORE the scheduled date...
It's always ok to pleasantly surprise, but you don't want to set yourself up for disappointment.

Oh they actually put it in matchmaking? Heh there is a lot of little things about this update that they just left out for people to find out on their own.
HMMMMMMMMMM...

Nice! Didn't know it was in Arena at all, haven't seen it on any of the standard Arena maps but guess I'll have to play some BTB now. This update just gets better and better.
