Nice. Smaller than I expected.

 

[Trup1aya]

Spartan recruit pack was a neccisary thing...

I imagine being sent to slaughter would be a turnoff for new comers...

I'm also convinced that halo 5 was just a scheme to get people to upgrade their hard drive space.

 

[NobleGundam]

Im not at home. I left my console on instant on. It will download the update?

Rip. But it should still auto update it I think.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

I always found High Noon to be redundant because there was already a perfect forge remake of Hang 'Em High in Reach that was even used in the original classic playlist and it was even named High Noon.

That classic playlist was so good. Too bad it was short-lived. Hopefully this isn't foreshadowing for the new classic playlist lol.

Although Hang Em' High was totally gray, the High Noon forge remake was pretty ugly. I got sick of looking at gray boxes in Halo Reach, the CEA remake was welcome. The Damnation remake was great too. I'm still salty we got Headlong instead of Sidewinder though, the fuck was that!?

Halo devs don't like CE. It's like Sakurai and Smash; they hate their beautiful accidents. Hence the creation of Brawl and Halo 3 ;b

They like it. But online and evolution mean it fits in a specific role.

Halo 5 is going to be 90Gbs total now. Jesussssssssssss

Dat next-gen feel.

I know. Smite had a patch today and auto downloaded. But maybe it takes a few hours to acknowledge the patch

I wonder what you get if you already have everything.

Any word on how the FREE play days will work? Will people need to access it directly via their Xbox One? Like through the store and searching for Halo 5 or will they allow to download it on xbox.com too?

 

[orichalcos]

Where are the new req cards?

edit: Slayer/Warzone playlists not working. (ok, after restart is ok the playlists)

Saw that. Good addition!

"Fixed a bug that allowed instant activation of power ups
Fixed a bug where holding crouch while airborne allowed players to not show up on radar regardless of speed"

there it is

 

[Defect]

They fixed the melee instant powerup thing? Ugh

A Sidewinder successor would work better within the sandbox compared to Valhalla/Blood Gulch. Yet we keep getting those.

Assault arm timing changes
Arm time reduced to 5 seconds (from 7)
Disarm time increased to 25 seconds (from 7)

This seems like a big change.

 

[Welfare]

This seems like a big change.

Yeah that is insane.

 

[Nowise10]

This seems like a big change.

I didn't know Assault had disarming in Halo 5?

Lost my first firefight match. Played on Escape from Arc and failed at the defend the garage objective. So. Many. Prometheans.

I thought they said they would fix that lol.

 

[Kalentan]

So wait...

This is Prospect, right?

Why is it that the patch notes only mentioned Tidal, Molten, and Attack on Sanctum?

Edit: OOOOOOH. It's the Assault Variant of Skrimish at Darkstar.

 

[Trup1aya]

This seems like a big change.

I don't understand. Are they saying that's how long it takes to disarm if the bomb is sitting in the arming area untouched?

Because that's essentially irrelevant .

The issue with Assualt was that touching the bomb instantly disarms it (where are they getting 7 seconds from?), making it too easy to defend, and guartunteeing low scores.

Is there a typo in the patch notes or am I just completely out of it?

 

[lybertyboy]

Normalize difficulty, not baby mode.

Trailer if anyone hasn't seen it

Edit: I'm also surprised that there isn't a discussion topic for such a huge update on gaming

 

[ZeezbruhTV]

for those of you who cant play atm twitch.tv/zeezbruh

 

[NoLongerALurker]

I thought they said they would fix that lol.

I was solo queuing and the group I matched was not the greatest so that made it seem even tougher. Also, the 15 second respawn time is kind of rough.

Difficulty doesn't help the fact that randoms never know what to even do and just stand outside shooting (non-explosives at that). I hope they at least greatly enhanced communication that if you aren't inside, you are losing.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

I guess the Free "play days" trial still isn't up.

That trailer/commercial was Lit as fuck...

And I don't even use words like "lit"...

Word will get around im sure...

It's been so long since I played that more. I'm not sure.

Road Trip

Level 5/5

Kill an enemy Spartan with a ground vehicle

186/29200

Going to start chipping away at this. Everyone else should too. Full Warzone games with ghosts should be the easiest way.

Yo the assault change is really really good.

Daily Log In packs? Jesus finally <3

 

[Fuchsdh]

Holy shit. JIP to my first WZ FF match and everyone is trying to kill banshee raiders with assault rifles. GG.

 

[Will the Thrill]

can't get my profile to sync when booting up Halo 5 itself, ugh.

edit - ok, got in. Random note, the rain of oblivion carbine isn't an automatic when spawned in forge.

JiP in Firefight?

GG 343.

Why can't we filter that shit off?

 

[NoLongerALurker]

Grunt mech is amazing. Bravo, 343.

 

[Fata1moose]

JiP always needs an opt out option you can toggle.
