Is anyone else having trouble getting over how insane this picture is? I almost hope they win based on this alone, lol.
That's a pretty good picture I like it

Typical Tashi, still awake 7 hours before the broadcast starts, let alone the event. Go to sleep nerd!
In other news, it is weird not seeing you signed in all day doing nothing.

So, when are we getting this badass motherfucker in our REQ packs?
Fuck the Phaeton, where are my UNSC aircraft?

Damn, I love that game. It's honestly one of my favorite Halos. So hyped for Halo Wars 2, it being on PC just makes it all the sweeter.
UNSC aircrafts were teased in an update, I believe. Don't think we will ever see Vultures, though. Their size alone is a good reason and it would be pretty much impossible to balance this thing, because it's supposed to be a very overpowered aircraft.

Damn. Looking at it, it could mean any Halo game with MP.

What is OS glitch?
Thx, I knew about the glitch, but I didn't know it can crash the game.

I know. Just crazy to see someone spend 400 dollars on Halo gun skins is all.
Don't mind me, I'm old.
When a power up is picked up during a melee, there is no animation and it activates instantly. This is known to glitch it sometimes and crash the game.

People used to drop crazy amounts of cash in arcades.
All things considered, the monetization of Halo 5 has been pretty good. It provides completely optional content, and Warzone plays just fine if you rely solely on in-game currency.
I love what it did for the Halo 5 esports scene and its a better alternative to the fragmentation that paid DLC causes.
In fact, I shudder to think what Halo 5's population would be now had they gone with a paid DLC model.

I thought you were criticizing the game because it was need to spend money on Reqs
Yeah, it's crazy, but they are giving me free content, so I thank them

Wow don't get the wrong. I think the model is fantastic. It keeps the player Base together and makes maps and updates free. It's win win.
Just crazy to me see someone spend that much when it's optional. Each to their own
I bought a character skin in Killer Instinct for 20 dollars so I'm no better!Installing Halo Wars right now made me miss Halo is all <3

Does switching weapons during the animation glitch it? That is the technique I use.

I bought the collectors edition and the Astro A40 H5 edition. That's not even counting the +$500 I spent on reqs.
I'm not crazy,
ok maybe.
No idea, don't use the glitch lol.

You got 2 good skins at least. I'd open a pack and it would be the 2 least desirable AR skins
EDIT: I feel like I should get at least one pack. I complained about the pricing on the previous packs and said they should include guaranteed skins, which is basically exactly what these new 10 dollar packs are. But now that the arena pack is going to be half off I'm inclined to get that one instead. No idea what I'm doing. I'm the most indecisive person on the planet.

I much prefer this model too. It's nice getting to play all the maps. I spend my gaming money on Halo almost exclusively. I don't buy a ton of games and Imo this Halo deserves it. It's great fun, I have a few complaints but overall I'm so glad we got here after Halo 4/ Halo Reach.
To those playing Halo Wars how is it on the One? It's not for me but I have a friend that's curious.

Just started it up now and so far it runs fine.
"Time spent in game: 251 hours.." Jesus Christ..
I spent at least 30 hours grinding the General achievement. That was probably my last hurrah for that kind of bullshit I would never do now

I dont have any of the co op achievements.. I'm a lonely boy
Lack of matchmaking and split screen pretty much guarunteed I'll never get them.
In sure there are quite a few people in the same boat. Hopefully they've got the data now to show how silly these oversights were .
Sure they had an easy group, but they dropped the top seeded team and took games off of CLG. That's gotta count for something.

I dont really have friends playing on console right know. Im sure Ill find some Gafer who will suffer just to help me

I still think the game should have run like this:
Dynamic Resolution and 60FPS in Single Player
and
like 720p/30FPS in Splitscreen.
No one would complain about that, since it doesn't affect those people who play it alone in 60FPS or the ones that play it online co-op. Hope that's what they go with Halo 6.

Why is the back logo LA Renegades?
Is the new league gonna have city based teams?

I didn't think you were bashing, I was just commenting on the "Halo/gaming has changed" comment. It's an interesting talking point.
It HAS changed, but it a lot of ways it has come full circle. We're back to exploiting the addictive and impulsive nature of the medium. But Halo has found a way to do that without limiting the enjoyment of those who don't want to pay extra. I think we've improved on the design, so to speak.
Of course there are other plenty of examples that aren't so good. And plenty that are just as bad as the worst of the arcade era..
I just wonder how far into development they were when they realized split screen wasn't happening. It should have been a core pillar of development, instead of taking a back seat to 60fps w/o compromise.
Your right, I doubt anyone would complain about co-op having lower performance... That's how it's always been anyway...
Nah it's just the full name of the org is LA Renegades

And I am still im favor off 30fps on Campaign. I like how Gears handles it.

I think reaching General legitimately is much more embarrassing hahaha.I spent at least 30 hours grinding the General achievement. That was probably my last hurrah for that kind of bullshit I would never do now
Still love this game!! Really hope Sega don't fuck up the simplicity of Halo Wars!
If people reached it legit before they dropped the XP requirements...
Haha, of course people would have complained, but I do think it would have been a decent enough compromise. I doubt we'll ever get the full story on what the issue waswhether a lack of focus/laser focus on 60fps, some sort of marketing directive from MS who might've been paranoid about 30fps appearing at all after they hyped it up, etc.
Wait, there are SIXTEEN new weapon skins? The "14" didn't include the pair of 343 ones?
I bought 3 packs but don't have the 343 AR showing. Waypoint shows me at 73/73 Weapon Skins with no 343 AR, lol.
So I have to buy 1 more to get 1 skin? What would the other 4 cards be, then?

Not counting emblems as I'm not sure if I've any left from opening packs, or the new skins from the weekend pack, I've got 33 and a half Gold packs left till I've got everything. Definitely on track to finishing before the next update.
