Goddamn Griffball is so much fun, absolutely love it. The surprise firefight announcement has me so excited. I have such great Reach memories of it and I'm so glad 343 has listened.

Wasn't Firefight originally from ODST?

Woah, just saw this on Reddit. Default Grav Hammer assassination is dope!

From Reddit all the Halo 5 DLC's so far

the amount of support that 343i are giving the game is absolutely insane awesome

Even though Halo 2 BR is just a slightly bigger hitscan than the Halo 5 BR, it's just nice to hear it firing in the midst of a fight.

The bigger magnetism matters more than you think, it destroys every single loadout weapon in the game and renders smaller strafing moves useless.

Yes but it is Reach that massively boosted its popularity due to more robust settings and having matchmaking, ODST FF is party only.

That is good!

I just got five assassinations during an Assault game. Plus I just wanted to see Terminal Velocity a bunch of times.

Man I don't remember November content drop being that weak.

Vico · Feb 25, 2016

I'm guessing the Ghosts of Meridian update will also include The Rig's remix (announced a while ago), since the map fits Meridian's artstyle and mood (lava, mining facility).

Awesome stuff today. Won't leave the game anytime soon. I really hope it doesn't totally stop in june, though. Not saying they should keep doing this monthly, but I would love another one or two updates between june and Halo Wars' release.

Tried out the Magnum in Forge with a friend and DAMN is it powerful.

WordsintheWater · Feb 25, 2016

Really like the new map, plays pretty damn well as an Assault map. Is it part of slayer or just as an Assault map?

There is a CTF variant in Team Arena.

Part of the Team Arena rotation, is also playable in Slayer and CTF (not sure if it is up in Slayer playlist yet).

I haven't, will give it a try this afternoon, thanks!

CLG is scriming renegades if anyone cares. Looks like renegades isn't streaming but a few clg guys are

Series is 2-0 clg, game one was 2-1 ctf, game 2 50-48 slayer. Pretty close

Frank your medium surprise pleased me greatly, I may or may not have shown appreciation via a Gold pack bundle. #FundingTheFuture

SmartWaffles · Feb 25, 2016

I need a silver pack bundle.

Fata1moose · Feb 25, 2016

Real talk, Torque is so good, loving this map.

I buy a bundle of gold packs each time there's a new map. I like giving them money when they give us stuff for free.

I just jumped onto it in customs, skybox is awesome!

Am I just being completely stupid or something? Could not figure out for the life of me how to throw the Assault ball.

Its disabled for default Assault

That makes sense.. But I'm like 30% sure I managed to accidentally do it via grenade throw. Weird.

In other news, who is gonna be the first to make a basketball esque custom game? 😁

Two games in a row where I join in progress on a useless losing team. Let me toggle this shit off ffs.

Thankssssssss

I haven't seen it mentioned yet but do the Assault custom game settings allow for recreating the old-school, round-based attack/defend single-bomb assault modes?

I'm wondering this too.

I had a game last night where I JiP and then the enemy team already had the flag and within 10 seconds they scored and the game ended 3-0. Didn't even shoot my gun.

Check this out: Audio bug where weapons sounds are subdued, it lasted throughout the game. I swear I played better this game had 46 kills I think.

BradC00 · Feb 25, 2016

Just played a game on riptide where the fuel rod didn't spawn. just the beam rifle.

That's better, hope it stays that way. The rooms are too small for the fuel rod.

Someone earlier mentioned that it was removed. Is this not true?

SmartWaffles · Feb 25, 2016

If you leave the game after the game is over (skipping the winning pose, this won't count as a quit), your game sound will be borked, envrionmental and some weapon sound effects disappear unless you reboot the game, this is still not fixed.

I didn't quit and I got that audio bug.

ehhh imo map plays great save for fuel rod which was OP for one team to control

*wins game of Grifball*
*opens daily arena pack, gets ultra rare mission victory*
*JIP into a Grifball game with my team down 1-3, promptly loses*

BraXzy · Feb 25, 2016

Gotta love Warzone farming squads D:

Zero fun to play against.

RowdyReverb · Feb 25, 2016

God damn I missed Grifball. It doesn't have the plodding, methodical pace of H3 Grifball, but it's still fun.

Yeah tonight was really rough for me too. I went 1-5 in Slayer. The one group was all new accounts and they had a 100% w/l at 40 games lol.

Welfare · Feb 25, 2016

Could we get a full change log on Arena Maps?

Also is there a chance that Team Arena maps get updated to the HCS variants?

blamite · Feb 25, 2016

Huh, what was wrong with the Riptide fuel rod?

Guess I have to go into Warzone to get that commendation now.

I'm surprised they don't have a bundle for each tier. I would buy a silver one so I can get to gold already.

I've been there man. Doesn't feel good at all especially when paired up with shitty teammates

I was thinking about this earlier when I lost five in a row. My thought is, it's update day so a lot of people come back to play. These people are probably rusty and don't really play too often, which leads to lopsided matches.

...Scatter... · Feb 25, 2016

The skybox on Torque is godly. Love it.

bchamba · Feb 25, 2016

Like everything about the update except the spartan colors when you're on red team. The secondary color is pink and I don't think it was like that before. The red and pink combo does not look good.
