I like how in Halo 2 PC the kb/m players would complain about players using controllers. There was a lot of "stupid controller noob" rage in the game chat.

This time around we're going to take a look at a pair of Halo 2 remakes. Just like before, I'll be doing a match of Slayer on each one so people can get acquainted with the maps. Then depending on what the map maker wants, I'll run 2 more matches of their gametype choosing(standard Arena gametypes). I will be contacting the map makers later this week to see what they want played.
Sacellum is a Sanctuary remake made by Nutter. With the recent texture update, he applied the new stone and marble aesthetics to make the map look even closer to the original.
Outskirts is a Turf remake made by nillapuddin. Turf is one of the few 4v4 sized maps to use a Warthog, and I'm eager to see how it works in Halo 5's sandbox.
There are going to be 5-7 slots available, plus some room for alternates if someone doesn't make it. Like last time, I will hold 2 spots for the map makers themselves if they want to play.

Maybe the reason we don't have BTB pistol starts is because you guys keep hiding your requests in spoiler tags
Barvo pls
Can't wait for e3 news and I'm pretty stoked for the full release of firefight... Its such a nice change of pace from the sweatiness of arena. I'm tired of losing more than I win in TA lol
Btw I played a decent but of slayer playlist last night n it is so sooooo shit now compared to TA. The map changes and most specifically the weapon placement changes in TA are positive. Storm rifles everywhere in slayer. Grooooooooss.
Also BTB pistol starts pls no spoilertagerino

E3 is going to be glorious. Cant wait to see what they have in store for halo 5 sustain.
Firefight is going to be fun on all of the warzone maps. Darkstar most specifically.
Btw I'm still alive in juarez. Barely though..

I think it works, said it would download to my xbox. Only thing I can think of that makes me different than everyone else is I have all the REQs?
"Campaign Expansion" is probably my top most-wanted DLC, and yet that's also what 343 has most consistently said "very unlikely to happen". I wouldn't hold my breath.
(On that note, still kinda' bummed that H5 campaign is so walled off from the multi sideI want my scoring and leaderboards and not have to have that dumb loading screen.)
Hog Wild is next week, Firefight is some time in June.
Would prefer this, just to close off the Halo 5 story. It would coincide well if they do decide to have continued support for Halo 5.
With Firefight launching at the tail end, it's like a new game. They can market it with "Now with over 30 maps, 1000+ REQs etc etc." *Requires 100 GB disc space
EDIT: 907 Cosmetic REQs
118 Loadout REQs
165 Power & Vehicle
1190 Total
That'd be cool I'd really like to see another ODST but if there was going to be an expansion my money would be on a Swords of Sanghelios spin off.

The installation sizes for games are pretty crazy. The rumored 2TB XB1 certainly seems necessary if you plan on keeping the same HDD. Just got myself a 1TB so I can shunt some games to it.

Finalized Pro League/Team Arena settings are out https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/team-arena-refresh
No assault? Wow. Genuinely wasn't expecting that. Also only new thing is Stasis/Flag. Was hoping Tyrant could make it in at least and also Stasis/Slayer... I was really looking forward to new maps for Pro league.
Sooooooo where will folks go to play assault now? custom games? lol
Loading up the blog post now.

Assault will be added in about 4 weeks according to Quinn.

Really like the changes, props 343.
Yup. Good to hear, hopefully added to several maps including Tyrant for change of pace in HCS.
Yea I agree.
I'm totally in favor of a Team HCS playlist like arena is now... but there really should be a place people can go if they want more variety. Social arena playlist is needed anyway but there's just one more reason now...
Most of the final changes to the maps are good though. Pleased with how it turned out.
All of these maps are not in Arena?
Holy shit Arena just become the best playlist by a landslide.
Ha, always was. But tyrant and torque were still pretty solid (especially compared to overgrowth and riptide). Overgrowth strongholds was still pretty fun. Never really liked riptide. Aesthetically, all look great though. Stasis is probably the weakest new map aesthetically to me.

So they're probably not doing a stream for Hog Wild right? Since it's just some Req cards?

Probably not but who knows.

Solid matchmaking experience.
Glad stasis made it in, but sad to see tyrant taken out.
Assault sucked on it for the same reason it sucked on all other maps (the stupid instant resets and weird spawns), but I think it's the best CTF map in the game.
At first I was kinda bummed that there will be no way to play Assualt in MM thanks to there decision to merge HCS playlist with Team Arena, BUT now they have extra incentive to fix the gametype (and it sounds like they are).
Now we're back to GrifBall being the only ball gametype in Arena though :/

I got an email that looked like this with a red spartan instead. It also had a code for a free Gold Pack.
That's some shit lol
