Is there a H5 GAF group or party that is in need of a 4th or something? I'm solo que since I just got an XB1 and I tend to gravitate toward unranked playlists because my luck wanes within the ranked playlist from que to que. I'd love to group up with some Gaffers for some Slayer or SWAT.
Also, Super Fiesta is awesome. I love it so far.

Whoa, just had a focused game with February levels of lag - grenade throws just hand waves with no product, assassination guy would just disappear, I'd die around the corner. Fingers crossed it's an one off, the games have been so very good recently.
Gotta finish up with the Bolt Shot and Binary Rifle(both at Level 3), and I'll finally have all the weapon Commendations done.
What time do you usually play? Or were you looking for some folks to play with you right now?
We have a Spartan Company, but I'm not sure if it's still full.

So I played the campaign again and I've been thinking. At the end of Halo 4 Cortana clones her rampant personalities. So what if the Cortana in Halo 5 is one of the rampant clones, the part of Cortana that thought AI's are superior to humans. Not only that, if that rampant clone had survived there could possibly be many Cortana clones scattered around the galaxy.
So now I get to this thing here which I thought would be Halo 5, but now looking at it could be set after Halo 5; which is Master Chief finding the rampant "Cortanas".
So, what if the plot of Halo 6 is that only way to stop Cortana and the created is to find all the rampant personalities of Cortana, make her complete again. When complete she'll realize what she is doing is stoopid and then we will all live happily ever after, the end.
End silly fan theory.

As far as we know rampancy doesn't really work like that—if an AI could eject a rampant part of yourself that could exist independently what would stop AIs from just cloning themselves incessantly to keep rampancy at bay? And we've never seen rampancy as informing personality in a way that makes sense you could "fix" that rampant part and end up with a fundamentally different AI.
I assume O'Connor's story in Tales from Slipspace will clear up a lot of ground in that regard, however. I'd willing to bet money the "it's not really Cortana" crowd are going to be disappointed.

When are we getting that grenade that explodes into CE Pistols?
Yeah I picked it up too and am regretting it...
Honestly, Im actually quite enjoying the PvE, the Taken King was a massive step up from vanilla destiny. The PvP still sucks giant fucking balls though, it is awful.
Anyway, probably shouldnt talk too much about this or well get HaloGAF banned again...

I like Destiny pvp but then again I don't take it seriously and I'm good at it (but then again anyone can be good at it)

Solo Slayer is totally fucking unwinnable.

I see you replying to your own top of page post
I really enjoy the REQ system and variety of weapons but prior to FF/Forge updates players had very little time to discover the nuances of unlocked or tiered weapons. I need to spend some time with Forge now to climatise myself, also vary up my REQ weapon usage in FF for this same reason.
Completely agree on the KI Dojo tuts as well. Throw in some music and medal pop ups as well, shit turn some solo FF into Dojo type stuff. The code would mostly be there for this too. Add some scripting, some voiceover work and BAM. Rounds check, REQs/level check, post carnage check, UI overlays during rounds check...etc.
The other route is something like COD where you have the time trials and scores for tutorials, that's pretty damned sweet too.

Ozzy, we don't need more shite from CoD.
So where is that MCC explanation?

H3 is the GOAT.
It's my least favorite Halo.
I actually forgot about H4, that's how bad it was.

I'm referring to the MP. I can't enjoy H3 MP. I tried to play today (if you are playing a multi playlist on MCC you are forced to play H3 lol) and I can't like. It's my opinion though.

The game really hasn't aged well at all when it comes to gameplay.
Low ass FoV
Slow ass movement
Weapons are just shit for the most part.
The maps are good though.

I'd rather play Halo 3 than have shite from CoD continue to inundate halo.
Halo 4 was shite... halo 5 was a step in a better direction, sans Microtransactions and sprint and ADS.

I'm not defending we should introduce more Cod stuff. At all.
I don't think "ADS" is a problem in Halo 5, but I know some people don't like it.
Sprint isn't unbalanced anymore, but Halo could live without it.
Microtransactions are fine. Really fine.

On a good connection with BR starts on certain maps like Guardian, Halo 3 can be fun. But that only holds true today because when H3 was the most populated Halo game between 2007-2010, it was a goddamn nightmare for me. Many feel that way about it today, how it didn't age well, but imagine how those felt who disliked it back then and wanted something more in line with what we have today.
The reason I like Halo 3 nowadays is because it's generally less laggy, is 1080/60, and isn't the Halo game most people are playing. Halo 5's multiplayer, for me, made Halo 3 more enjoyable as a palette cleanser to revisit the days of Halo's past, for better and worse.
I feel like ADS and Sprint are basically non-issues (though I hope the nerf Spartan Charge).
As far as microtransactions, I genuinely enjoy opening up req packs and getting items. The fact that people can choose to buy them instead of earning them doesn't effect my enjoyment at all.
I think Halo is more than just a step in the right directions. Its far from perfect, but many ways it's better than its predecessors.
The microtransactions in H5 are a complete non-issue.
Ive played a tonne of Warzone without ever having bought a req pack and Ive never had an issue.
Kinda like how ADS is a complete non-issue.
Sprint I can take or leave, it works fine in H5 but they could remove it and itd still be an amazing game.
So at one point today, Halo5 was the top topic on Reddit thanks to this minigame
1: the reception of this minigame really makes me wish forge was available from launch. I think the "sustain" efforts would have been more effective.
2: it also further makes me wish we had custom browsers. Why bungie&343 no like customs browsers?

ADS on the Pistol is unnecessary. I wanted to test a 5sk Pistol with a 2x zoom by combining the CE Pistol and H5 Pistol, but couldn't get it to work. It's a shame how the H5 Pistol only has the increased ammo variant but none with a classic zoom, energy bullets, silencer, etc. like the other loadout weapons received.
So no.. I don't know what you mean :b -- You can clearly have fast paced shooters without sprint. In fact, it's easily arguable that shooters can be more fast paced without sprint artificially slowing combat down: you can't shoot while sprinting, and people sprint away from battles all the time.
You want sprint because you like fast paced shooters, then you mention how DOOM doesn't have it, but you expect us to know what you mean.
