I don't mind the infantry focused design of Antifreeze, but it's just so badly executed.

BTB maps are fine for the most part. Even though Antifreeze isn't good, it still better than some of the maps in this game. The huge problem with BTB are

You will also never see me in BTB. They single handedly ruined my favorite halo game mode.
Just saw that on twitter. Pretty sure i will be down for that.

I don't know about not touching other game modes but it would put BTB into my normal rotation. Arena, BTB, Warzone (not assault) Only other playlist id play would be Action Sack.

What a joke. I like the option of forge creations, but to not have more dev made maps is garbage.

Why are maps littered with power weapons in FFA? Why are there 8 spawn points on maps? Why do people spawn next to OS/power weapon and other people spawn in the middle of nowhere?
Who designs this stuff? seriously.

Yeah same here, I agree with all points, FFA makes me want to smash my Xbox into pieces.
Weirdly Overwatch does lag aswell kinda for me online, so I decided to play some Halo again, I could stand 4 matches
Good luck trying to place initial spawnpoints that are fair for everyone in 8 man FFA.

Question about the elite controller. I got the rechargeable battery pack and it recharges in less than an hour. Seems too fast. Anyone else have the same experience?
Also got the hannibal mantis cert today. I'm gonna be done with legendary vehicle certs before ultra rare. Kind of weird.

So I've got like a solid 30 seconds of good montage-worthy clips, so you guys should send me some and I should just turn this thing into a GAF-tage.
Like, actual good clips though. Not your BXR or that one double you got once (unless it was actually impressive).
Funny clips are also acceptable.

price is higher than I'd like, but the fact it's every other month helps. I already subscribe to a box (DC Comics Funko box) so idk if I'd get another.

So Pro League with connection problems. What a surprise.
Never got one of these before so I'm curious. Glad also that it isn't every month.

They're pretty fun. You get exclusive stuff that you can only get in the box, the box itself is nicely designed, and you get a certain dollar amount of stuff for a lower price. The one thing I don't like about some sub boxes is the stuff you get can be random. I know the Loot Crates that are a more broad theme (heroes, sci-fi, etc) you have no guarantee you'll get what you want, but single theme boxes based on franchises tend to have the same loot without any randomness. All depends on what you prefer.
Huh, so did I. Interesting.
That means that each crate costs twice as much as the regular crates for the same number of items which judging from the unboxing videos I've seen will be stickers, a t-shirt, an action figure, a pair of socks and a belt buckle.
Every other month for just $35.99 plus shipping and handling.

Just noticed how different the halowaypoint site on mobile is. Much smoother than previous experiences. When did they update it?
Also got the pack and 5000rp. Thank youuuu

Nothing here because I wasn't signed up. I had to Google HCFP real quick and then figured out how everyone is getting these surveys, so I signed up just now. I don't recall ever seeing any emails or anything from 343i or MS advertising that a program existed or anything in-game going back to the beta, so I was out of the loop on that one I guess. I just assumed when I saw people talking about new surveys that they were randomly targeted by 343i or MS.
And 5000RP? Damn, now I really wish I had been signed up before now.
The new Waypoint site does look nice but it crashes constantly for me on my iPad Air, before and after the update.

I received the pack and only got an Emblem and XP boosts

Main webpage was updated too. At least it's new to me, I rarely use it
mainly just to deny SC membership kappa.
What emblem? I might have already had it cause all I got were boosts and 5000RP.

Lol good thing you werent in charge when i was asking to join.
Yeah, I mentioned this the other day. It is quite nice now.
Edit: Now I wish they would revamp Halo Channel. Don't like using it generally.

The emblem was The Librarian I think.

They will probably slowly drown it and remove it once anniversary update comes out.

Hopefully halo 6

Uhhhh i just noticed on halowaypoint that when you are in the file browser section, you can view your recent halo 5 game clips.
Wtf. Rip xbox dvr dot com.
Aw rly 343, update your website but dont tell anyone the wonderful stuff your webteam did? Thnx love you.

for halo of course... Maybe... Still gotta test out the playback

Haha, yeah that came with the File Browser update. The video clip sharing from there was a bit buggy for me at first but it seems to be better.
Let me try testing with this one from earlier today.
EDIT: Seems to be working better!
EDIT 2: Even though only like 4 hogs have been added, people spawn a lot more Hogs in Warzone this past week. It's great!

That tank is beast. Sicknesssss. I like the video player too. Anniversary update is real boyzzzzz.... Lolz
Going through the Halo 5 API submissions and I saw one of the iOS apps (Arena Stats for Halo 5) had a damage distribution and lifetime damage total that I hadn't seen done by other sites that I thought was cool.

I know it won't happen, but I sorta wish they released a Halo 5 Multiplayer f2p thing on Xbox. It'll literally just be arena, warzone, with the full req system and customization stuff.
