*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*

Don't use a req pack until you see a countdown, then you know it's not JIP

 

[Feel the Swift]

nevermind found it

 

[mo60]

Huh, what was wrong with the Riptide fuel rod?

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

It's still on regret if I recall.

 

[blamite]

It's still on regret if I recall.

Oh yeah, I think that's still true. I forget about Regret a lot, I don't know if it's matchmaking weighting or just bad luck, but that map very rarely seems to show up in matchmaking for me. Maybe it just has fewer gametypes? Is it Slayer only?

 

[RowdyReverb]

Have you noticed how great the impulse triggers and controller rumble are for this game? I was playing on mute earlier and it amazed me. Each gun has a unique feel when pulling the trigger, and there's a slight kick when the reload is complete. I'm sure I had subconsciously noticed this in the past, but playing without sound really made it stand out.

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

just finished a grifball game with a tie, so many over times


LOVE THIS SHIT

 

[YourExWife]

So I'm pulling off shit like this to help us win and teammates are bringing bomb back to our side or nading me or charging in alone, etc., etc. et fucking cetera. So infuriating.

Who would do something so foolish?

[Granadier]

Are there any details about the "Memories of Reach" content update at all?

 

[SmartWaffles]

Just like in Breakout there are people trying to bring the flag to their own base, people are really clueless sometimes.

Or they are just stupid.

Not now, we are speculating, something like Invasion, Reach themed maps/remakes, Reach weapons etc.

I was sadly referencing my own play from last night. I accidentally pushed the flag back towards the enemy base last night on Truth, we lost because of it. I was disoriented off of spawn.

 

[Forerunner]

Finally got a Killtrocity, but it was Grifball! However, about 30 seconds later my teammate booted me for betrayals lmao.The guy that did it was last on the team with a score of 7-20. They lost 0-5, so whatever.

Well every time I respawn in Truth CTF I need to turn a full 360 to realize where I am lol.

 

[Ramirez]

Steitzer really gets into the ball assassination, lol.

The thruster assassination is god tier. :O

 

[wwm0nkey]

So happy I don't have to deal with desync issues anymore! Was able to play all day without a single issue after switching off of TWC.

 

[Granadier]

Really cool that they added a new assassination for that.

 

[Karl2177]

I wonder if it is possible on the thruster assassination to be assassinated in mid air. But sadly I'm assuming the game doesn't allow for assassination trains.

 

[Nowise10]

I'm pretty sure I am going to be buying silvers in H5 for the rest of the games lifespan because of these req updates.

 

[jfoul]

I had 140k saved up, now l'm almost 100% with REQs again. Selling REQs is takes forever though. Surprisingly, I unlocked the MCC Helioskrill armor along with the two new variations.

I have TWC and never have issues. What did you switch to?

 

[Random17]

Firefight is fantastic.

Spoiler

Please have a large amount of content on release in Halo 6. It's depressing to read anecdotes of Halo's death on reddit. Most people don't know about these updates, I bet.

Helioskrill can now be earned from REQs, not tied to MCC achievement any more.

 

[Kibbles]

I was sad to see the H1 pistol isn't a loadout unlock, until I used it on Recurve BTB. Lawdddd I dominated lol. Easier to use than the H1 pistol for sure, almost half of my kills were perfects.

Wait, they put the pistol on Recurve?

Are the 343i weapon skins locked behind something? My last gold pack gave me RP and an Emblem.

 

[Kibbles]

Yeah each base had one on that platform next to the middle bridge that each base has. Easy to run back and forth between them to resupply

 

[JackHerer]

The special REQ weapon for Remember Reach HAS to be the grenade launcher.

This update is the best one yet. Torque is the prettiest map in the game, especially in terms of skybox. That ring is insane. Seems to play well but I felt a little lost on my one match on it.

 

[jfoul]

The release schedule for this game looks really awesome. With the addition of Firefight, the only other thing I can think of that I still want is campaign scoring with co-op matchmaking.

A release on PC would also be cool, even if it's only the MP side. Robust AA options, Increased foliage density, eliminated pop-in, and support for 4K resolution would be great on PC.

 

[daedalius]

I was mostly trying to not die, idea was to go back by base and not to run in alone with said ball.

Sorry I'm a terrible player

I'll never forgive you.

I get a killtac only to be killed by ram

[Glass]

I can forgive the 343 skins if we get HCS Team skins next month to celebrate WORLDS.

I need Denial ("damn Denial") and CLG skins

Re-quoting for truth

 

[MysteryM]

Its great to get a bunch of free updates, however I really wish the arena maps were more forthcoming.

We got one in the last update but nothing in this one, I think actually preferred having to pay for them, at least we'd get a few at a time.

I appreciate that there is a new warzone map, but I don't play warzone.

 

[Loomba]

They are only given to the 343 pro team and employees I think, sorry...

WTF you taking about?

We JUST today got a brand new arena map.

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

That looks like a parry with the demon hammer in Dark Souls 2

Damn right

 

[Trup1aya]

I need a silver pack bundle.

Facts! No way I'm buying a gold bundle when I have so many rare items left to get

 

[NippleViking]

Grifball does not work with Halo 5's mechanics - at least, in its current iteration. I don't know what's wrong - perhaps it's the way the hammer works? - but I'm not enjoying myself with it. Also, I'm so fed-up with having the ball-carrier ground-pound to score. Too little you can do to stop it.

 

[Loomba]

After hammer storm I need 625,000 RP just to clear silvers.....

 

[jem0208]

So they removed the Fuel Rod from Riptide which is really nice, that was my main problem with the map.

Don't forget there's a Chrome extension that allows you to mass sell REQs through Waypoint.

 

[Blue Ninja]

So once again, why betrayal booting in Grifball? It's laughable. My idiot teammates just press the boot button immediately and we end up with two players against four, so we get decimated.

I'm slightly vary of turning it off completely since I suspect some people would be dicks and just team kill for the entire match if they could do it without any penalty but it should be made much more lenient (so allow people at least 10 TKs or even more before giving their team mates the option to boot them).

Yeah, I guess that would work. Right now it's just very frustrating when your team starts losing because the other guys just immediately press the 'A' button when they see a betrayal prompt.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Why is Social [Gametype] 5vs5? It is terrible. Nades are everywhere and one person can camp in your base and you getting ridiculous spawns. Maps are too small for that as well. It should be 4vs4...

 

[king grimlock]

It defaults to dismiss though...
