So, I was reading the weekly canon fodder and another thing is being kept secret like in this weeks community update.

"Deployed toward the end of the Harvest campaign, the AV-22 Sparrowhawk shares a number of similarities with its aerodyne siblings – the AV-14 Hornet, AV-19 SkyHawk, AV-30 Kestrel, and AV-49 [DATA CORRUPTION! REBUILD IN PROGRESS . . .] – among others."

Could this be a tease for a UNSC flying vehicle finally coming to Halo 5? Here's the link to the canon fodder: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-local-units

Oh boy, I'm getting slowly hyped... A new vehicle is what I really want since the game's release. I really hope it happens.

Im about to turn 22 and its already thinning. I dont have many years left with my luscious hair. IM NOT READY TO LET GO
Click to expand...

brah, just start shaving it, start working out - get that bruce willis look ASAP.

bald men can be segsy as fuck, you just need to be healthy and confident all around otherwise.

my hairline started showing signs of thinning two years ago [32 now], but so far it's held strong.

baldness runs deep on my dad's side so we'll see what happens!

so during tonights games my buddy and I figured out Halo.


  1. Halo introduces paid custom servers like Battlefield, this is not a custom game browser per se, its essentially a custom playlist.

    Individuals pay a monthly fee and essentially curate a play experience, maybe 30 map/gametype combos as a limit. Since its not a custom game it doesn't have a host, and someone doesn't need to manually switch between games, its all drawn out of a queue that the server host created. (RUL favorites, Mini-Games 365, HaloGAFs Circlejerk, Remakes 24/7, Every Weapon a Rocket Launcher, etc)

  2. Halo 5 Forge Edition is Free on PC, however PC users pay a one time fee (max $30) or a monthly fee (x>=$5) to gain access to the custom servers.

    Custom Games (organized by the player are free), however to gain access to the aforementioned curated content, a pay wall is established. On Xbox these servers are free to access.

  3. Paid noncompetitive expansions using same engine
    Releases Fall 2016 - Spring 2017
    Spartan Ops, Firefight (real firefight, ODST style), Campaign Extension, ODST style side games etc.

  4. MCC goes FTP on W10 and Xbox. The MP is serviceable right now, but its more about winning back fan-share and keeping the Halo legacy alive.

  5. Betting on new revenue from custom servers, REQ packs, and the noncompetitive expansion, support continues on its current pace (near monthly content additions). New REQ purchasing options likely need to take place to keep money coming in.

  6. H3A campaign is a paid expansion for current MCC/H5 owners (29.99). Sold separately with H5 MP bundled, ala H:CEA w/Reach, ODST w/H3 Mythic (59.99)
    Scorpio launch title

  7. H3 influenced REQs and maps drop in the proceeding few months, at least through March, that way Christmas players get 3 months of content.

  8. After March of 2018 the entire ecosystem is analyzed, and if revenue and player count is strong, content can be added as needed. If not, all production can stop and focus on Halo "6" development for that fall.

  9. Halo 6 launches with near identical MP gameplay, with a revamped progression system, a blank slate of maps and a FULL FEATURE SET (at minimum, equivocal to then-current H5) No launching playlists, modes, forge and shit months later.

  10. The funniest part of all this, MS convinces PC players to pay for XBL. Full crossplay/crossbuy on all Xbox and W10 games, plus continuing GWG is eventually too sweet. The internet cries, but buckles anyways, its a shit show on neogaf indefinitely.

I'll be waiting by the mailbox for my consulting check 343, take your time, I know everyone is busy with E3 prep.

While those are great ideas, I honestly don't think that 343 would have the resources to do all of that AND work on Halo 6. Which should be priority right now.

They should make Halo 6 Feature complete.
Fix the BR model and get rid of ADS
Bring back Warzone for the Whales.
Firefight for the ODST nostalgia
the DLC and Maps should be free because Warzone.
Give the option for a one time premium payment to just unlock all cosmetics, along with people who want the Req system.
Continue the Competitive Focus, Better maps preferred. (especially if they tie into H3A at all)
PC release for H3A and H6
Make the Jackals look like Jackals
Multi Species Multiplayer E.g. Spartans, Elites, Maybe Brutes.

and a gun that shoots Cuban Sandwiches

The lack of features in Halo 5 was due to it being on new tech, the constant updates are basically them playing catch up, all these things will very likely be in Halo 6.

And I support the Cuban Sandwich idea.

im incredibly skeptical about that. they are still using a modified "halo" engine. you cant really give the "new tech" excuse IMO when Halo 3 was "new" tech and shipped with everything

I think it was a combination of new tech (especially since they were targeting 60fps for campaign) + balancing the Spartan abilities. It probably took a lot of time to polish the mechanics and how everything "feels"

My first match of ever of Warzone Turbo and I get paired against an entire 12 man premade...

Anyone could guess how that went. Not a fun mode... Think I will stick to regular Warzone.

The match would have been annoying but w/e if they had just ended it. But never once when they opened out core did they go after it. They were playing and toying with us for 15 minutes.

Warzone is probably the biggest success of Halo 5 when they look at player retention, lol.
Click to expand...


there is no denying that, but i personally feel that they put so much attention to Warzone that other parts of the game suffered.

I didnt say warzone was bad, im not going to give my opinion on that, being so new here.

Second match of Warzone Turbo went a lot better. It became one sided but unlike the other match it wasn't one sided from the instant the match started. It was quite even and we tried to get their core but couldn't. Still won.

Edit: YESS!!!! I got the Lord of the Fires skin! My first magnum skin! Should go well with my Last Slice AR. ;)

I just quit when that happens now, I'm not going to go through that so some fuckwits can kill farm, especially when they leave bosses alive to prolong the misery... These people are responsible for killing the population imo.

Has Xbox live completely died for anyone else?

Testing the multiplayer connection in the settings menu works but I've got a prompt on the dashboard which says connect to Xbox live and none of my apps or games work online...

I can also see which friends are online which makes it even weirder...


Cancel that, got it working. My account was being weird...

I played a match where I got killed farmed for like 15 minutes in warzone on the map escape from Arc a few weeks ago. It was against a bunch of members of the partyupgaming company. I died 40 times in that match, I rarely experience kill farming in warzone, but that match was one of the worst matches I have ever played in halo 5.

Weirdly enough, I now consider Warzone to be something that should be here from the start, part of the feature-set required for a good Halo launch.
