Triple/Multi-Team Slayer is pretty damn fun.

Did they change the mm parameters for social or something? I noticed a lot of shitty players when playing triple team slayer. Which is better now because each team ended up having 1 good player, 1 okay player, and 1 player who could barely walk and shoot at the same time
Except this time is better because its 3 teams of 3 (9 players) instead of 4 teams of 3. Which means it's on the Arena maps and not BTB maps

Yupp, it's so good in this game. Halo 5's gameplay is a monumental step up from previous games. That can't be said enough.
After tuning Spartan Charge they could largely leave movement the same, and I'd be happy. I'd rather they removed sprint, but hey.. I'm fine with what we have now as long as H6 feels as smooth. Halo 4 sprint feels archaic in comparison.

I'm sure it's fun and I'll try it tonight but I always enjoyed 4 teams on smaller maps like in Reach. Something so amazing about having 3 enemy teams consistently running into my Sword. The camping was so real but the killing sprees were the stuff of legends.
God I miss Sword Base.
First game of Halo 5 in quite some time (different account though) and this happens http://imgur.com/xUF4K5E

Nice, the spawns on Molten are absolutely fucked though. You'll often spawn right next to people. In triple team, blue and yellow spawn in the same room at the start (control).
And that is why Halsey should get some flak.
Still have to play some multiteam, sounds fun.
Was my second time playing on the map, was super confused

Some good ol' Halo 3 action lol -- Tense hilarity with the most satisfying ending.

Oh god yes lol. Fuck it and Overgrowth.
I kinda wish I could manually limit where I get placed in Ranked playlists. I was NOT prepared for Onyx/Champion level Slayer gameplay after weeks of just playing Warzone, and I can only bad kid myself to place in Diamond 6. Arena will be terrible.

Anyone wanna do warzone Saturday in a little while?
Oh I know what you mean. Back in January I grinded the game pretty heavily and actually got pretty good. Then I stopped playing for a while and after coming back I was repeatedly fucked, hard.

Not if you join the party and make jokes at my expense while doing it.

They're okay, but I greatly prefer Arena.

Wow. I didn't think it was that bad
It's ALL about that Blue Room control. The biggest mistake they made was removing the Fuel Rod Gun from the map, because you could actually push with that weapon. They should have reduced the ammo count instead.
With a good setup, it's just very very hard to break the room. Sightlines are terrible, too, just like the majority of the post launch maps.

Some flak, yes. but not the Karen Traviss shitshow that was the Kilo 5 trilogy or the writing for Spartan Ops.
343 approved writers to call her literally Hitler.
Long time no see Mr. Halo.
How are all you beautiful people doing?
Me and a buddy had the urge to play some shoot bang so we hopped on for the first time in forever. Feels as good as ever. Also, I got a new sweet ass TV recently (that no longer cuts off the edges lmao) so that was cool.
Messed about in customs for a bit, the forge team really are amazing with some of the stuff they've added for people to use. Checked some people's bookmarks and damn, Goat's map from way back has come a long way, looks amazing :O

I hate when they spawn the mythic warden in bases.
The only times I've been on a team that won the match against that fucker was when we managed to get TWO silver banshees in that area with him.
I've just finished Halo 5 and I can now see why a bunch of people have said that it has ruined console FPS for them; nothing else controls or plays as smoothly. Phenomenal game, it was worth buying an Xbox One for this.
I was a bit meh on Halo 4 but I think Halo 5 tops the Bungie games.

Play some multiplayer and you'll feel hard to get back to any other game.
Who is anyone? #deep
Legitimately will, name a time and a place.

Fuckin oath mate.
Now if only more people would play it and make their own judgements, as opposed to the sodding Halo Hate Squad.
I might buy some XBL game time and do just that.

You can only play as Halo like, 3 times in the game. Score: 2/10

Random*, but regarding Spartan Charge - I had some ideas on how to implement a balanced version of it, but in terms of the actual damage it can deal, would you guys rather it:
- Do persistent damage over time as the player lunges, sort of like Mewtwo's neutral-aerial in Smash Bros.
- Only be able to hit a single target for damage (more or less its current incarnation)
- Have an AOE-type impact at the end similar to Ground Pound, but obviously weaker and with less range
Or some combination of the three?

Great clip.
Just posting to say how much I love multi team, still love the menu music and thoroughly loathe Torque. No excuse for that map to be in the game when the excellent Stasis does the job so much better.
