I think the new ones are awesome, and the original maps definitely got extremely old.

Are you saying the rankings aren't true because of the fact teams can match solo players? I agree to an extent that Onyx ratings can probably get higher based on luck like that. I still believe though, with a group, or solo, you will end up in the division you belong in at the very least, even if you don't hit the higher ranks of it.

For real. I want this so badly. Game just needs more maps.

OS is already stupid OP in this game wouldn't want to give them another layer lol
I like most of the new ones but I wish they'd have switched them back to OG for rank reset. I've barely played on the community made maps so there's no chance I'm doing placements for it yet.

Ahh, I miss the glowy balls too. Good times.

i'd love to see those post-death animations like the grunt birthday pop.
also the helms with it flaming.

i miss how big they were so you could see them across the map.
I loved how you could really easily spot them in the distance too but there aren't that many long sightlines any more to require that I guess :3
I do quite like how they're now tied into the universe as a thing you pop on your Mjolnir suit or whatever it's doing.

i don't mind the animation but i don't like their icons. they look like armor abilities did when you'd put them on the map and those were grossss
Let's not speak about those. Someone might hear.
It did make me think though how few long sightlines there are in Arena now, that'd actually make the big glowy balls a benefit.
I can imagine that it's pretty difficult to handle. On 1 side, you don't want solo searching players to match against teams of 4 and on the other side you want those 4 to play. I agree with the last part, though. I definitely feel like I belong in Diamond for Arena Slayer and I also ended up in that division. I don't think I deserve Onyx yet.
In Warzone maybe, but I don't want any of this in Arena. Sound is pretty important to me, especially since Halo 5 is the 1st Halo game that actually uses 7.1 sourround sound. Really don't need random sounds playing over the more important ones.

I'm just waiting for Community TS or Arena already.
Fuck Breakout. It's my least favorite mode.

Lol I noticed that it was pretty jittery tonight. Plus the bullets flying around corners was the worst that I have ever seen it ever... I honestly don't know what to say! But I'll leave the server talk at that. Be sure to leave feedback lol. They replied once in that monster thread on waypoint.
After two seasons of getting gold 1 and then practically soloing to diamond, tonite I got platinum 5! Plus the bright red AR skin and yellow pistol skins. Pretty pleased with that.
And I contributed around 200+ kills towards the armor/helmet.
Gotta say, loving the halo 2 br on riptide. That thing is a beast. Damn!

Waypoint?
I went there for the first day today, and damn, those topics are D WORST
Most popular topic is "Halo 5 is the worst Halo?"

Considering the Google sheets of community made maps from CE, PC, Vista all through to H4 I'm surprised we aren't basically seeing Forge MCC in H5. I wonder if at some point they'll just add everything into rotation?
Perhaps they're keeping the population pools strictly to Arena & WZ with an intentional no frills approach, hence no infection or grifball or assault etc.
If the talk of h2br starts community playlist is looked at I expect "anniversary weekends" like h2br starts on community remakes. Then again when they add the halo 1 pistol

I'm loving suits. I've been watching it from season 1 through season 3 on amazon prime. I think i'm way behind on the actual series.Suits GIF
You know it has to be in the works. If nothing else, they will be req cards added later in the year. That's my guess.
Nice!
EDIT:
Sorry. I keep editing my post. Can someone explain what the below part means? You have to get to 1800 first to reach champion, but then how does the cap work after 1700?
Season 5 part two has just started in the States I think, I am excite.
Halo soooooooooon.
Jesus.Did someone see this already?
Lmao
Keep DelHoyo the hell away from the sandbox director.

They have a great weapon and sandbox framework to churn out some innovative stuff like this for a looong time. H5 has some serious legs IMO.
I think you'll find that's his sense of humour.
Also I don't really play breakout unless it's via Arena playlist but I wasn't aware of this medal:

Pretty sure he was making fun of some vocal complainers.
What? He's just joking? Nevermind then.
That was great.

I'm glad the sandbox director isn't Sage anymore. I like Reach but ayyyyyy what was he thinking with that game.
Why was the Beta Repeater nerfed?
Why was the Focus Rifle nerfed?
Why were the Pistol and Plasma Pistol nerfed?
Why were the DMR and NR given more bullets?
And then there was bloom. Bungie pls

It's really bad, to the point I'm wondering if it's possible to go in and edit the map like they did in Empire post-beta. They need to add some routes and make it easier to traverse. The top mid is more accessible from one side of the map compared to the other. They have grav lifts in places that aren't needed while neglecting areas that could use them. It's just a complete mess, which is a shame as Fathom is awesome.
Some of the problems on Overgrowth can be mitigated with better weapon placements. I don't know how they'd make Riptide better without gutting it.

Why the fuck Overgrowth still has a Sword?????

I love everything about this.
With how easy it is to hijack a vehicle in Halo 5, would you guys mind having the eject armor mod back for Warzone? Would be kind of fun with ground pound, nut pretty overpowered. I think it's a horrible idea, but at the same time...It could be fun.

That was the dirtiest thing I've ever seen.
You know Quin is one of the leads on H5's multiplayer? Can't tell if there's a joke going over my head or other people's lmao.
All for it. Someone plants on you with a REQ 6+ vehicle they deserve a ground pound

Mantis in this game get hijacked so easily because of the radar and just the movement in speed. Last night I called in a ONI Mantis and it was dead in a minute or two. There was some guy just crouched in a corner waited for me to come by (he also had a speed boost). So he was instantly on me, I didn't even have time to react.
yep Overgrowth can be fixed by better weapon placements and in some modes it would flow very well.
Riptide on the other hand has some of the worst teamspawns I had in Halo. sometimes I'm being spawned on the main plateu in the middle of a firefight, the next time across of my team and by the enemies.
I also really like Fathom, I think it and Coliseum are going to be classic map material.
