That mecha grunt is hilarious, I love it.

Game temporarily going free is great, 343 should capitalise on the boosted population by enforcing team restrictions for its duration.

Can anyone post pics of the Team Weapon skins when they're shown?

I'm gonna be at work during pro proleague

When are they showing the skins? During the team's different matches tonight?

I dunno. They just said it'll be today during proleague

 

[ryan299]

No idea why but every Warzone Assault game I play is an unbalanced mess.

Halo 2 Beam Rifle sounds like a fun, yet odd choice for a new weapon.

I'm just interested in how it's different from the standard one, aside from appearance.

Bummed I can't go to RTX this year :'(

Mix and I aren't going either. Bummed, but he's moving into a new place, and I'm going on vacation soon after.

 

[Trup1aya]

So all these new players are going to get smashed in Warzone because everyone has REQs or smashed in Arena by teams (if they are high enough) not to mention 50% off of 59.99....not the f2p announcement I wanted.

When Warzone was first announced they said the Warzone matchmaking took into account people's req collection.

I imagine

hope

that if there is an influx of players, that system would be better at ensuring balance teams.

 

[Zoso Achilles]

People hating on rooster teeth because of an episode of The Patch. lol. Everything they put out under Achievement Hunter is gold quality entertainment. The RT podcast and Off Topic podcast are damn good. They have plenty of other new shows and productions. That company hasn't been just about red vs. blue for a long time.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

We should all take it easy on the free players for 5 days so they like the game, buy it and keep playing Pinky swear now or GTFO.

Spoiler

Who am I kidding...bring out the dong.

 

[Trup1aya]

So since Forge prefabs wont be in this update, this sorta confirms substantial support past June, right?

I just hope we continue to get maps and game modes, not just forge tweaks.

They still owe us asymmetric gametypes, and more ball gametypes.

I'd really love an official riccoche gametype.

Also I hope H5 supports the new Xbox Arena features whenever they launch this summer.

HCS NA starting in ~3 minutes. Twitch.tv/Halo

Update on the Halo RTX thing. Panel confirmed:

When: Saturday, July 2: 5 p.m. – 6 p.m.

Watch: Streamed live on twitch.tv/roosterteeth

Halo fans both at the show and at home will want to make sure to tune in for this year’s panel. Join 343 Industries stalwarts, Tom French and Dan Ayoub, as they’re joined by Rooster Teeth’s own Burnie Burns, and Matthew Arevalo from Loot Crate – all moderated by the highly immoderate Ms. Kiki Wolfkill – as they discuss the future of Halo’s map and UGC creator, Halo 5: Forge for Windows 10, and the sacrifice of Sgt. Forge and the surviving crew of the Spirit of Fire in Halo Wars 2. Chat, demos, sneak peeks and a QA session are a must for Halo fans, machinima makers and connoisseurs of myth and mirth.

No that doesn't "confirm" anything per se. But we've kinda expect more updates. Not just to forge. Like look at the Warzone Firefight update notes and its wording

The eighth and latest free content release, Warzone Firefight – named after the eponymous new mode – is the biggest expansion to Halo 5: Guardians yet and will arrive next Wednesday on June 29!

Notice the language of "latest" not last and "biggest expansion yet" implying there is more.

 

[NoLongerALurker]

Holy shit. That Towey salty reaction clip from last week that they just showed was hilarious.

there should be one, but week 4 is kind of late to the party... i thought of making one still though

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Eg coming back and taking names.

Gg!!!

Op ivy - maybe this weekends events? Idk but maybe after firefight more ppl will be interested to be part of the halo culture

Oh baby

one day ninja will realize he isn't pubstomping.

Renegades getting skins? I like their logo.

 

[tootsi666]

I wonder if the Renegades org will even exist in a few months

 

[belushy]

.

SEXY.

Its just straight up that EG Logo, thought the emblem would've had a bit of flair but it will look nice in game on the teams during the streams I think.

I wonder if the Renegades org will even exist in a few months

Yeah, I don't expect them to be around much longer (the org.) Ninja will attract some good teams, though. I'm hoping teams like Luminosity, Complexity, Faze, or Echo Fox look into them if the org does die.

The reason they specified updates were "up to" June was because that's when Microsoft's fiscal year ends. It's just legal CYA etc snore snore stuff to deal with being a publically traded company.

they look so good, can't wait for the nV ones to come (if they come) eventually

I thought that was a real armor coming to the game for a second and I got excited.

I don't like it it looks pretty bad IMO the H4/H5 Chief armor looks way better

 

[wwm0nkey]

I really dislike the 4/5 helmet lol

 

[Triscuitable]

I don't like it it looks pretty bad IMO the H4/H5 Chief armor looks way better

The fan concept is good, but the helmet is so tiny. The bulkier armor is more appropriate, visually and thematically.

[aHebrewMenagerie]

H5 is definitely my favorite armor in the series.

I don't know, when I saw that photo, for some reason, I thought it meant the Chief armor was coming to multiplayer, I was about to shit my pants.

Just saw that Faze picked up an Overwatch team before a Halo team :'(

Overwatch is the newest big thing. Makes sense to me homes

Oh no trust me, I'm cool with it being Overwatch. The game is amazing, and the esport scene should be huge. Still hurts as a big Halo fan, though.

 

[tootsi666]

Overwatch seems to be the place where failed FPS pros go right now and it's a Blizzard game so it will have a scene. Makes sense to invest in OW over Halo.

Those EG skins look cool. I don't usually buy microtransactions but EG is a prestigious brand and I like the Halo team. Do know the price yet?

 

[op_ivy]

liquid, man

[blamite]

The worst part about Halo 4/5's Master Chief armor is that the shoulders aren't physically connected to the actual suit. They're just floating like three inches away with not even a little piece of metal to attach them to the arm.

GIVE IT TO MEEEEEE

 

[SmartWaffles]

Waiting for the Team Liquid reqs.
