Halo 5: Guardians |OT3| Ball Dropped
- Thread starter BraXzy
- Start date
I picked the right night to skip on Halo it seems :3
I'm gonna try and finish Slayer and SWAT placements and maybe Team Arena tomorrow. Got that Onyx dream (emphasis on dream).
It's reaallly bad right now. I lag out randomly at least half the time already had to switch accounts bc ban.

Has anyone ran into a problem with their Xbox where it won't detect any wireless networks? This happened to me yesterday. After a couple restarts it finally started to work. It just now happened and when I went into Network Settings it ran a test and said the wireless network hardware isn't working. :/ But I did a hard reset and it began to work again. I feel like I should send it in, but I just got it a month ago and don't want to stop playing Halo

Looking for 1 for slayer, have one Onyx, Diamond 6, and unranked
Edit: ignore, just finished

I get the opposite. I'll get dropped, do a network test and a 100% packet loss.
Do you have your Xbox set to Instant On power mode? It happens to me from time to time and I assume it's just a glitch with the wireless adapter not starting up or turning off due to the settings.Has anyone ran into a problem with their Xbox where it won't detect any wireless networks?

Yeah I do. I also had to turn off instant sign-in since sometimes it would get stuck at the Signing In.. screen. :/
It's good to know I'm not the only one this has happened to. If it is indeed a glitch with just Instant On i'll gladly turn it off.

Yeah, I started out opening silver and gold until around SR70. I also rarely did any Warzone Assault until SR90. I'm SR127 now, and you're still slightly above me in unlocks. I should have everything unlocked by the next content release, or at least hope to.

The REQ menu in game is so laggy for me.
Its a pain in the butt to set up my loadout every time. especially going through all the BRs.

I ran through my team slayer qualifier this morning and got Gold 3. Even though most of my matches I was #1, and at least 4 matches with 20 kills and few deaths.

It's a real pain in the ass if you don't die and need to upgrade quickly. I think you should be able to create custom load-outs for each REQ level. It would be nice to jump and and jump out.

That happened to me a few times. My connection would be fine until matchmaking started. Did a hard reset and it was still giving me that problem. It's really weird.
I just took the wired connection from my PS4 to my xbox and it started working without problem. Wired is better so I figure I'll just make the switch any time I want to play.
Yeah it is like only the req menu is in slowmotion or has serious input delay.
Also love that they reduced the cost for the new carbine variants.. serioulsy guys, try them, they are super strong and fast.
Are you connected via a wire?

Well it's not just "copy and paste" especally because Bungie's code is messy as fuck, but yea they should have tried their best to emulate it. Halo 5's is in a pretty good place now but it's still a step below Reach's.

Absolutely loved playing Warzone Assault today, even though every goddamn match was a blowout. The new REQ costs are great, there's something exciting to spend at every level now, instead of it just being me buying speed boosts until REQ 4. I'm almost always sprinting toward the stealth loadout now, especially after unlocking the Silenced Long Shot BR; just need to get a silenced AR or SMG to complete the combination.
And oh god, Void's Tear is soooooooooo much fun. Brings me such joy *plinkplinkplinkplinkplinkplinkplinkplinkplink*

It got the job done.
Silver matches fucking suck man, not because of player skill but because so many people leave all the time.
I'd say even the MCC UI was a step up from Halo 4 and I actually like it quite a bit. Sure there is some wonkiness with how it's set up, but things like the medal chest, post game carnage report, even the way fireteams are set up work well.
People argued that we should be going in blind in to Halo 5 to prevent people from quitting, stop them from backing out, but I fail to see why the little 1" thumbnail is superior to the fireteam emblems on the side. Hide their rank, but it's nice to see that the people on my team are SR-45 and have this emblem, easily click their profile to see how they are. Not having it did nothing to prevent quitting. Oh well, maybe Halo 6 will utilize some of that concept UI we saw with Roland and the holographic look.

Yeah the campaign is not great solo...
I hope the fireteam aspect is pitched. They literally added nothing to my experience besides frustrations.
Also, Halo with a revive mechanic is terrible and removes tension from the experience.
At least the level design in several places is great.. .

Reach UI is the best I've seen in any videogame ever.
H5 UI is far,FAR below Reach. It's really simple and elegant. You can get to what you want with a click or two at most. Super clean too. I hope 343 overhaul the UI in the near future. Doubt it though.
MCC tried to emulate bungie's UI. It was OK but wasn't smooth and kinda clunky. I don't know why 343 don't care for UI. at least it's a step up from H4.
What rank were you last season? the MM takes into account previous CSR.

I think the key to the AI is to use them in a simple way. Few orders, let them work out their stuff, and don't presume they'll be able to rescue you everywhere. The revive mechanic is interesting in that it creates a needless frustration: the AI will prioritise getting to you over anything else, and if you're in a bad spot, this means you'll die. So you get frustrated at them not being able to revive you, whereas in other Halos you'd have just died and got on with it. The AI makes a rod for 343's back, in this respect.
Otherwise, use them as distractions, and tell them to focus on an enemy and go another way, give them longer-range weapons. I quite enjoyed using them for my solo Legendary run: they had their bad moments, but they also had some cool bits - Vale finished off a Knight solo and rezzed me, for instance. Co-op is better, obviously.

You know what sucks? Not being able to choose where to spawn your nice vehicle reqs from... My corp mantis came out the front of the main garage where the battle was going on, of course I was dead before I knew it.

Just 3 more matches to get my placement in Slayer.
I dont think i've been doing stellur in any of my games, and some of them have had quitters instantly. Let's see if i still place in Platinum and will have to grind my way up to plat 6 again to see if i can cross that threshold into Diamond.

Can't you pick the spawn before you use the card? I.e. when dead you 'hover over' home base, then use the card, should spawn there.
Or do you mean when alive, and using the card at a REQ station?

DL im with you all the way. Getting power weapons earlier=getting more useful/fun power weapons faster.
Getting to plop down with a carbine at req 2 is surprisingly a game changer

Welp I'd like you to do something to improve Asian servers as well before timing out me for having a bad connection, 343.

Oh boy, playing Warzone on EU servers is so good.. Thank you 343.

Unfortunately I don't have that option in my place or i'd be on wired all the time too.
I guess I'll see if the problem stops occuring since my warranty is for another year.

This guy quits the match when he was 1-3, two games later I get him on my team again. And guess what? He ends up quitting again.
This game needs harsher quit penalties. After my games I take the time to report them, and 90% of the time I see them already in another game.

Stats make people desperate. Doesn't help that 343 displays the K/D front and center lol. They should give the option for people to hide their stats - I think it will reduce some of the quitting.

Sometimes I wish I was more willing to quit out of games. My stats are hideous lol.

Or just remove the leave game button, make it harder to quit and requeue instantly.

And another rant. I had two games start 3v4 in my eight game session today (funny part is we actually won one and the other was 50-48, but that's besides the point). If a rank game starts uneven like that it should automatically end when the game starts up.
Don't let the stats define you
Very easy to close the client and come back lol. 343 should look at rewarding people that play - punishment is obviously ineffective. Maybe they can give req packs weekly to people that don't quit. They're just being super stingy.

Or add something like, finish 3, 5, 10 games in a row you get some nice bonus, like REQ or EXP boost.
