Don't like that it seems you still have to play with other players and don't have any firefight you can just go in alone and shoot for fun. Campaign isn't a replacement with zero scoring, no checkpoints etc.

 

[BizzyBum]

Did anyone catch the highest twitch viewer count?

I think it was around the 85k mark

 

[belushy]

Did anyone catch the highest twitch viewer count?

I saw 71 k from the main Halo one at one point during the final game.

 

[Madness]

I think it was around the 85k mark

 

[Poodlestrike]

Oh, holy damn.

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

It hit 99.1k.

 

[BraXzy]

Firefight looks pretty crazy but it didn't really give that much of an idea what the gameplay will be like other than shit tons of AI enemies.

The teasiest of teasers.

 

[sir_dany12]

So Firefight for June

 

[Twin Tails]

hot damn

 

[curiouscharles]

didn't someone say 98k or something?

edit: beaten, and wow.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

Trailer up on Youtube

Welp.

I know where I'll be spending all my REQs when this hits.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Thats pretty sweet!

 

[BraXzy]

So Firefight for June

Damn that'll be eight months post-launch.

 

[OneUh8]

Here is a link to download the req if you're not on Xbox

Thanks a bunch!

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

98k was the peak of viewers!

 

[blamite]

The timer counts down. D:

I hope they can get an endless mode in somehow.

So Firefight for June

No way are they holding this for that long. It'll definitely be included in one of the announced updates. The Reach one, if we're lucky.

 

[backflip10019]

It hit 99.1k.

Not bad but for real 900 more people couldn't have watched?

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

It was 98.8 and jumped to 99.1 before dropping.

 

[Granadier]

98k was the peak of viewers!

summit helped out a bunch by broadcasting the stream as well. So thanks summit!

 

[dt2]

So yeah, looks like 6 person firefight

Red Warden Eternal

Lol the legendary bosses say -1 VP

Youtube description on the video says 8.

Warzone Firefight is an ambitious new multiplayer experience that takes the initial promise of Halo 5’s Warzone multiplayer – the epic battles, incredible scale and huge maps – and applies that to create the biggest Halo cooperative experience ever in franchise history. In Warzone Firefight, up to eight players will work together to complete five rounds of increasingly difficult, dynamic objectives set against a timer to emerge victorious.

The prospect of teaming up with seven other players to take on a plethora of enemies using the REQ System has us all eagerly awaiting the release of Warzone Firefight this summer. Be sure to stay tuned to Halo Waypoint, Xbox Wire and follow the official Halo Twitter for all the latest Halo 5: Guardians Warzone Firefight news.

I guess it is June. Summer begins June 21.

[NoLongerALurker]

Almost 100k is awesome for Halo. Shame all the people who watched didn't get a better final series.

Ah ok I saw 6 blips on the radar but I just noticed 2 more on the exterior part of it I hadn't noticed before. Thanks!


Also, I just went back and listened to CLG's trash talking at the end of Plaza Strongholds. They scream "They're so fucking bad, bro. Oh my god bro. Let's Go." Is it any surprise these kids are treated as the villains?

 

[Ramirez]

Just happy to see a shit ton of AI.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

CLG are scumbags with over inflated egos

My kind of team

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

So yeah, looks like 6 person firefight

Red Warden Eternal

The YT trailer description says 8 player firefight and even says team up with 7 others. Bam.

I didn't like that at all. It's just bad sportsmanship. They can play how they want to play but when you're on the world stage I don't think that kind of attitude is warranted.

Well, damn. ;_; I hope we're not really waiting that long. I can't keep playing Warzone Assault forever.

CLG are scumbags with over inflated egos

My kind of team

lol.

royal 2 seems totally nice, can't say much about the rest of them [frosty seems quiet enough, but his eyes say "bow down"].

i now see why 343 brought back fiesta for the weekend - they knew we'd all be depressed by a CLG blow-out.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

They say anything about the other updates in the stream? What content will be in the Reach or Warthog ones?

 

[Poodlestrike]

CLG are scumbags with over inflated egos

In all fairness, they are demonstrably the best in the world at what they do. Their egos are inflated, but perhaps not overly so

 

[jfoul]

Probably need to wait for the next community update. Supposedly getting two updates in April.

 

[Caja 117]

Meh, I really hope they consider to do some changes for next year championship matches,

And I still insist that radar have no business in pro-Halo.

 

[Velcoro]

CLG are scumbags with over inflated egos

all the players talk shit and teabag we just dont hear it all the time

they really were too dominant this whole tournament was underwhelming. roster changes should be interesting

Meh, I really hope they consider to do some changes for nect year championship matches,

And I still insist that radar have no business in pro-Halo.

double elim for one and snakebite said in his stream that after worlds the teams would start playing with no radar in their scrims

 

[singhr1]

I think CLG's actions are fantastic for maintaining interest, sportsmanship or not. It's getting pro wrestling-esqe storylines built up into Halo. It's like Lebron going to Miami, who can beat a team so dominant?

Anyway, sportsmanship is overrated. Be professional but don't act like this is chess. Halo is built upon trash-talking teenagers and CLG is keeping that legacy alive.

 

[op_ivy]

And people were hoping for 50k. Go baby go!

 

[Sai]

Want to see more Covenant in my Firefight.

Trailer looked hype though.

 

[jay23]

The was so anticlimactic I don't see anyone beating CLG unless EG drops commonly and lbx retires. Who could they even get tho?

Also just wondering how much of that money goes to the team the players are signed to?

Yeah, I dont mind that, is part of Halo, they do need to be careful with the cursing.

Dun worry. Plenty of Covenant coming yer way.

i don't care how good they are, being egotistical pricks make you... an egotistical prick. [justified or no]

"Warzone Firefight will feature more enemies than ever – including a brand new tier of “Mythic” enemy bosses. Thought the Warden Eternal was menacing? You ain’t seen nothing yet. Warzone Firefight features the most on-screen enemies in the history of the franchise, making for frantic and exhilarating matches."

tsquared and ghandi talked mad shit to one another back then so what CLG did was nothing lol it's definitely built into the culture of Halo everyone teabags and talks trash. it's just the competitive nature in all of us i dont think anyone ever takes it personal. pros talk so much trash to one another when they play money 8's

did not expect the "they're so fucking bad" tho that was brutal

You can still demonstrate good sportsmanship, while having an inflated ego.

Alright now you have my attention :O

 

[Chittagong]

Also just wondering how much of that money goes to the team the players are signed to?

This is what interests me too, out of curiosity, how big of a cut do they give to the brand / company ("team") they play for, and how much will they pocket themselves?

 

[darthbob]

I think most of the other 13 skins are going to be back in future content drops, but it'd be cool if the 343 skins were taken out from potential packs, just to keep them extra rare. This is coming from someone who won't be getting them this weekend.

The 80,000 RP requirement is insane, if I didn't have any disposable income I wouldn't have a single pack. :/

Was just making a joke 'bout the whole funny business when you've got a big ego and the skills to back it up

Of course there's no real excuse for poor sportsmanship, but it's going to make rooting against them a lot of fun.

So many people offended by Frosty shooting thr body or teabagging but cmon, this is Halo and the largest prize tournament ever. Do you guys not remember the trash talk and shenanigans of Halo 2, Halo 3 days. Where's the Tsquared choke gif, Walshy hitting Tsquared with needlers over and over. This creates drama and creates storylines.
