I finally got an Xbox One today. I finally got Halo 5 Guardians today. After about an hour to install it off the disc, there's a 35GB update. Oh how I love modern gaming.

Well its like 7-8 months worth of new maps/weapons/skins/etc, which amounts to a lot of new assets

 

[Lurchio]

Will the spartan company tab ever work like we all thought it would?Would make it easier to form a squad so maybe there would be a few less complaints about getting matched with teams.

 

[Tawpgun]

Brexit is obviously Elzar's fault. If he doesn't want to stay in the EU he probably shouldn't stay in the Spartan Company either right????

 

[sir_dany12]

So the Old HCS pack is available already?
I don't think I can farm 80k

12 arena packs and 3 gold packs sitting there taunting me...

At least when Scotland leaves the union and rejoins the EU we can go live there.

After many years I have finally obtained the original Halo books trilogy! I'm very happy right now :')

 

[Valhalla Rapids]

The Know has pretty much always been bottom-of-the-barrel in terms of video game coverage. RT as a whole has still been putting out pretty decent content in general, but when it comes to informed opinions or news or anything of that sort, that kind of stuff from them is best avoided for exactly the same reason as the incident you mentioned.

Any other site is just as bad. also the Know is pretty decent. i dont get the RT hate.

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.

This.

 

[Stinkles]

Oh wow.

Just saw that on reddit. It's cool, but I wish the lights at the tail end were longer

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Should have got the ones with the updated content

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Oh wow.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLQ1v17DqeQ

That is truly amzing.

 

[Glass]

The rally scout warthogs are so much fun in Warzone Assault, I've started buying bronze packs just to try and top them up.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Oh wow.

Halo 5 Forge continues to be incredible.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Do you mean the ones with the new covers? what are the main differences?

 

[Trup1aya]

Oh wow.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLQ1v17DqeQ

If only there were a custom browser or something...

 

[Fuchsdh]

Wow, Youtube recommended videos and autoplay sent me down a deep, dark rabbit hole of bad Red vs. Blue montages paired with Skrillex. Why.gif

 

[singhr1]

Oh wow.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLQ1v17DqeQ

If you told me this

was built in Halo 5 forge when you first announced it, I would call you a pathological liar and a cheat.

 

[TCKaos]

Oh wow.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLQ1v17DqeQ

Are those all decals...?

How many hours did they sit there and meticulously place all of them? Holy shit.

Also, how are you holding up after Brexit? Does it give you any comfort that your homeland will probably be back in the EU in no time?

 

[Samurai G0SU]

With the req reveal already posted on the xbox wire, do you think bravo will even post anything tonight? i kind of lean to no.

 

[IHaveIce]

Oh wow.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLQ1v17DqeQ

now Imagine we could create open custom lobbies searchable through a browser... or dang Forge maps in Matchmaking that are good.


Amazing stuff, though the ghosts are too slow

 

[Valhalla Rapids]

Im with you.

Yes - ton of stuff to recap.

Hopefully pricing on the HCS packs.

They could just wait to talk about it during the Stream on Tuesday.

 

[Moa]

They could just wait to talk about it during the Stream on Tuesday.

The stream usually turns into the community update that week, so if anything expect next week to not have one.

 

[IHaveIce]

Also:

they should just let doubles be permanent and make crap like infection, grifball and breakout a fun playlist

Yeah. I can't remember the exact changes but there is some new content and edits. Stinkles likely knows better.

I wanted this ones because they have the original covers as you can see I'm very old school classic with a lot of things

(see my avatar for example)

Oh Ok thank you SmartWaffles if I want I still can get the new versions later but this one was the last original version of the books that I could find brand new and with shipping to Mexico

 

[SmartWaffles]

I still have the original novels both in English and Chinese, but the Chinese version is later revealed as non-authorized publishing, which leads to Halo novel not being translated in China for nearly 10 years lol.

[wwm0nkey]

Oh wow.

Seriously this Forge is great and you guys keep adding and adding stuff that just makes it better.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Oh wow.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLQ1v17DqeQ

The best Forge of the entire Halo franchise

They can't even keep servers up on a nothing-happening saturday.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

I Suspect server volume will Increase. It is a holiday weekend, so the xbox live team and everyone inovlved should know what they need to do.

Not sure why you think the servers would just sit at the same capacity when they are giving all GOLD members halo 5 for free during that peroid of time. Plenty of people coordinate stuff like this.

If im wrong and they are all sitting in a room watching youtube videos of babies making faces, then i guess ill eat crow.

 

[Trup1aya]

Concern is valid though. Halo 5 servers are shit.

Watching pro league matches last night, and the CLG nV match was riddled with drop outs. Folks in the chat start accusing CLG of cheating (of course), but then people start having regular folks start having trouble at the same time.

I cant remember a game where I've had as many lag outs as this one... Maybe it's because I play halo 5 so much more than I've played other games... But I don't think so.

Playing on them is a bit different than downoading them though. I'm talking specifically toward downloading the big file size and server capacity.

 

[Valhalla Rapids]

couldnt keep thc up and beyond is a joke

Oh right, totally different thing. I'll see myself out.
