Actually if you back all the way out to the main menu and go back into Arena/Warzone it should update your req total. It's worked for me.

Thanks, I'll try that out later. So, is this a software problem rather than a server problem then?
FFS this, I have an account where I am Onyx in Arena and Slayer and it is unplayable for me lagging and champions all around.
Now playing on my normal account which I use to play with my lower ranked friends and we still get the laggiest matches possible
Well support for 5 isn't ending after June so maybe they have something planned, Halo 5 Ultimate Edition coming to Win10/XBO July! (I wish)

I was the same way until I dove face first, bare-ass naked into Halo Wars. The game is so fun to play, and with Twitch being a thing it makes learning the game much easier. I've been watching streamers lately and I feel my build strategies improving for it.
I'm so excited for Halo Wars 2. I really, reallyyyyyyyyy hope they allow you to search for 3v3's as a party of 2 unlike the first game though. What a shame they didn't allow that.
Where did they say support won't be ending? Strictly referring to H5 on Xbox One, not the Forge on Windows 10 news.

How many times does he gotta repeat himself lol.
Don't worry. They will have something for sure. Gonna bet my avatar on it.
You know this isn't happening for PC. You were in the same Forge threads as I was.
Well, you can't expect people to know this, since literally all of the PR says otherwise. Confirming it on a Forum is like not confirming it at all to the general public.

I'll probably watch it being played rather than play it. I liked the story when I watched the first one on YouTube, but these games are just not my thing.
Is this supposed to be cross play too like rocket league?
Oh trust me, I know lolYou know this isn't happening for PC. You were in the same Forge threads as I was.
2nd one is messed up, but I grabbed the first thanks!

For custom games though, Halo 3 was the best. It had a ton of variety in terms of maps and a lot of them just worked with smaller groups of 4 people. I did a ton of small custom games then because of that. Then they for some reason stopped doing small maps in the next installments and we also stopped playing customs.
Halo 5 won a bunch of marketing/advertising awards, including some of the trailers, Hololens, and #HuntTheTruth and even the Mister Chief REQ ad got a bronze award

I love/hate that there is a award called "Most effective Buzz Generating Tactic" that the Halo 5 trailer won (John-117 is dead trailer)

Sorry, I didn't saw the posts until now. I really don't mind when I lose, because we are outskilled. There is better people out there and I completely get that. But when I lose to teleporting bullshit, then it's just frustrating. The teleporting issue also started with the removal of region lock, but all the other issues, like "Attention! Server bla bla" and REQ issues were amplified with MoR.
Could it be that game size is to blame? The game is currently 81GB
and we are probably reaching 100GB with Firefight at this rate
I say this constantly, but Halo 5 is a great game, which suffers from frustrating issues. Whatever it is, they need to figure it out.

I initially had a problem with that trailer after playing the game, but seeing how trailers now reveal and insane amount of content that are actually in the movies or games, i kinda appreciate the fact now that it really wasn't revealing at all.
I wish the campaign was better, but i dont mind the trailers not being actual game footage anymore. I rather be surprised.
I saw Civil war, deadpool, BvS recently and none of them surprised me. The trailers ruined every single surprise to the point where i dont watch any trailers anymore.
Yup, I learned a couple of years ago I enjoy things so much more when I go in nearly blind. Like I thought interstellar was just gonna be Matthew Mcconaughey on a farm talking about going to space and knew nothing about The Martian outside of it being on Mars.
I told myself I would stop watching trailers/previews for Halo 5 but I couldn't resist
Yeah most trailers are basically telling the entire story in encapsulated form, minus the ending these days, and even as a guy who doesn't care about spoilers it feels... anticlimactic?

I think most people will go and see or buy whatever movie or game theyre fans of, regardless of the trailer. Like im going to go see that xmen movie one way or another so why would i ruin the experience by watching 5 different trailers of it? Thats my line of thinking now and im positive ill end up enjoying movies and games a lot more.
For games i think its more complex cause sometimes i have to watch something because i want to see what the game plays like to get a feel for it before i drop 90$ on it.

It's too bad we knew about that Sabre mission in Reach before experiencing it ourselves for the first time.
I avoided all campaign trailers for Halo 5 post E3, and avoid most trailers for movies I want to see these days. It's insane how revealing they can be.

Supposedly the game is also crashing for people now to according to r/halo post.

I have been noticing halo 5 crashing randomly to the dashboard also to after opening a few req packs, but I have yet to experience any crashes while in a match.

And thats not counting how many commercials you end up seeing as well. Its become absolutely insane. I thought at one point i was just too difficult, but man what do they expect when they tell me everything in the damn trailer. At one point when theres 20 minutes left and i didnt see "that fight" from the trailer yet, im gonna put 2 and 2 together. Completely ruins the experience.
Halo5 imo did it right. It was deceiving but at least i was surprised when playing the game.
Get me hyped, dont tell me everything.

Say hello to my new poster
The thing about Reach is that it wasn't a very fun game, but it was "good" in that it felt pretty confident about being what it was, and for the most part did a really great job of doing the things it wanted to do (although those probably weren't the things a lot of (most???) players wanted it to do). On the other hand H4 which felt like it was trying too hard to be a bunch of different things and ended up not being very good at any of them, even though it could've easily been great if it had just stripped away a few layers of junk.
H4 was genuinely decent in the MCC.
It wasn't a particularly competitive game with sprint, no descope, loadouts etc. but removing weapon drops and adding weapons on map massively improved it. There were also some fairly decent maps in that playlist. Monolith is awesome IMO.
Movie trailers are the worst.

since we're back on the topic of H5's advertising, i love how many people go "I WAS EXPECTING CHIEF VS LOCKE SPACE NOIR POLITICAL THRILLER THANKS 343BAMA" only to completely ignore, like, literally every other halo ad campaign ever
there was the whole "finish the fight" thing. and a bit about the epic scene in the diorama for halo 3... but yeah, the outrage over halo 5's ad campaign always seemed forced and just another reason to hate on the game in addition to mcc, not bungie, M$, and xbone

Stupid question, but are you checking your volume levels? Could be something as simple as the XBL service being fucky and dialing your FX / BGM sliders down to 0.

Do you know of anyone else who has these issues?
I personally haven't had any issues to the same extent as you and I haven't heard of anyone else either. Could it be something with your setup which doesn't play nice with H5?
There was that problem near the launch of the game which only affected people with a certain internet provider.

You know I think back over H4 dedis issues, MCC mega issues and H5 flakiness issues to arrive at the comment that 343 isn't a AAA studio. I'm curious what y'all would rate them?
Yep, anyone in our Halo group, we've all had plenty of flakiness and a wide array of issues. My friends just moved to other games, we try party nights and things just fall apart so it's weeks before I can get them back. Just look at the last 3 pages here at Halo 5 OT and you can see 3 people with the same issues, another Aussie with Waffles. I've offered to give 343 a list of gamertags from our parties and links to my solo games as well, no response. In my Waypoint thread below 11 others show the same issues. Read the Waypoint H5 and H5 support threads as well as Reddit, there is a ton of people from EU and non-USA regions complaining, and they've been complaining for months now particularly.
This was literally one page back:
Also try checking here for just how incorrect that statement is:

I'm fucking ready for a PS4 at this point.

But seriously, who the hell thought Locke was really going to fight Chief anyway, and actually stand a chance?? Who even wanted that?
That never made sense in the first place, so it's comical how people expected some grand conflict between the two. I think it was more Halo 5's story being so unliked that it made the marketing that much worse. If we received a compelling story of Chief and Blue Team instead of fluffing it up with Fireteam Osiris, things would have turned out differently. I just don't understand why they felt the need to shove this new team on us when they could have focused on what people really wanted to see. A lot of us were saying it before launch, how they had so much to cover that 343's chances of explaining it all was very slim.

I think I did alright. First game of the day after a long day at work. Game says "FUCK YOU YOU DON'T GET TO WARM UP HERE PLAY KAMPY AND CO!"
My MMR is crazy high, but the dumbass game keeps putting me in diamond (or lower) after placements where I play and do well (a couple wins even) against only onyx and champs. Been like this every month since they did the rank reshuffling bullshit.
Word? Still $32 on Amazon... Hmm. I think I may just save my money for Mythos and the Fractures short story collection. Never had too much desire for the comics
Wow, just realized both of those are coming out in September!
I am interested in what happens to Osiris now. With Chief and Locke "on the same side" is Locke still going to be a playable character? Will they bring back the team aspect of Halo 5 or return to the solo/duo aspect of Halo 4/3 respectively? Chief and Locke, bros to the close.
Halo 6 twist:
You play as Roland. AI vs AI
Guy betrays me 3 times in a BTB match. I kicked him and he wants a 1vs1 for whatever reaspn. He starts MLG Truth v7 or some shit with BR starts and the 1st thing he does is picking up Camo in a 1vs1. I defeat him and now enjoy his salty tears.
Sore losers everywhere. lol
Edit: OMG his highest skill is from Social Rumble Rockets. Champion #45. Social indeed.

This was a new journey for them, so it wouldn't have been a retelling anyway.
Does it affect everyone you've talked to in Australia?
There must be some similarity which connects the people with issues considering the consistency and lack of major issues for other people.
If it affects pretty much everyone in that region and barely anyone else I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is that MS's azure servers in Australia just suck ass.
