Here's some CHAMPION gameplay for you. You're the main reason I uploaded this, despite it probably not being that interesting to watch lol. Pliss excuse the random Madden commentary and my H Y P E screams after that 1v3 ;b

Tank World is awesome and provides something completely different than the ordinary gametypes you find in matchmaking, which is what I want from an Action Sack playlist.

Toggled crouch in a corner gameplay. However, it was good plays by you two, I still don't like it though!

It's all about

Spoiler

BTB pistol starts.

6v8 BTB that was too close. Good thing that Miami guy on my team was decent. To be fair, they had someone go 1-18, so that’s pretty much why they lost.

Riftball is probably my favorite action sack GT. So chaotic and absurd in a good way.

RiftBall is pretty good. If I had to rank my enjoyment I'd say:

Ground Pound Arena
RiftBall
Mongoose Sumo (I won a 1v4, it was hilarious.)
Husky Raid
Paintball Junkies
Mantis Breakout
Minotaurs
Tank World

 

[Trup1aya]

I like the idea of tank world, but tank controls are so shitty, that it can't possibly be fun to play.

I have yet to play Ground pound arena.

This will be fixed today!!

Servers are shitting the bed for me. Half the time I get a unable to connect to server and when I do connect REQs don't work. 343 please I just want to miss my Banshee kills commendation.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Servers down? I can't seem to start/join any...


.... this happens way too much for the main xbox franchise....

Edit

I can find Spartans it just won't load the server and I get the unable to join or unable to connect to server..

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

I don't think there are too many Australians playing, I choose the 'expanded' setting to search for games and just play on the overseas servers.
Very playable (100/40 NBN) but I'm obviously at a disadvantage.

Firefight is pretty good, try it before returning.

LTTP: what time and rank are you playing?

I find Mon-Fri at night ok with focused for FF, WZ or slayer. The first match seems to take a bit and then after that it's better. I also just stay in the lobby and it seems to help start up the next match.

As for Arena, the moment you hit Diamond 1/2 you're fucked and won't match. I've basically stopped playing Arena since assault went away, due to the low Aussie population at a decent rank. If you find a match it's skewed AF and usually a team Onyx stomp vs randoms.

Bought the Limited Edition today off Amazon for $25.00

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

Just played my first Ground Pound Arena.

It's okay I guess http://xboxclips.com/dark+silver89/342c9ada-3908-4de8-b997-83e2e3225b07

IT'S FUCKING AMAZING

So after binging on No Man's Sky for two weeks I hopped on Halo 5 again.

Got my loot crate so popped on that awesome emblem. Action Sack seems pretty fun. At least it's something different. I really hope 343 just keeps it and rotates new games. Mantis Breakout also counts for the commendations which is pretty cool. Might actually make a dent in Unstoppable.

Halo 5: Doomed

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

I will build a great tank - and nobody builds tanks better than me, believe me - and I'll build it very inexpensively. I will build a great, great tank on our southern border, and I will make ATOMICJORGE pay for that tank. Mark my words.

Hahaha wait

*Laughs in Spanish*

Jajajajaja

Good joke sir good joke

 

[Dead Man Typing]

I bought a silver REQ pack and it gave me two 1500 REQ points instead of permanent unlocks - does this mean I've maxed out silver unlocks and should be buying gold from now on?

(when I say bought I mean with REQ points - I'll never spend real money on a REQ pack but I do enjoy the progression)

Tank world could be fun if I didn't keep getting attacked and weakened by team mates.

You are done with silvers now.

Yeah you're done. What level are you, and did you strictly follow the Bronze -> Silver path?

 

[Unfriendly TimeTraveler]

Oh that's how chief dies.

It's a BFG since it's Doom inspired artwork.

I wish the SAW model looked like that.

 

[RoKKeR]

Just played a game of Pound Town, god damn that was amazing.

Edit: And Rift Ball. Holy shit this stuff is amazing!

 

[Clint Beastwood]

Are the servers acting up for anyone? Just got booted from an FFA a few minutes ago and I can't find a match at all. It just boots me to the main menu after a few minutes

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

The tank just got bigger.

That's what she said

[SmartWaffles]

Anvil's Legacy introduced 15 uncommon/rare REQs so that's roughly 7 packs.

 

[Valhalla Rapids]

i love that gif stops right before the barrel hits Warpath's chest

 

[YourExWife]

The tank just got bigger.

 

[Valhalla Rapids]

anyone have a link to that google doc that can look and see what REQs i have/need

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

LOL Hahaha how did you found this GIF?

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Yeah you're done. What level are you, and did you strictly follow the Bronze -> Silver path?

Level 77, I didn't buy many bronze are there lower items that only unlock from bronze packs?

I still have to get a bunch of commendations.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

You unlock them from Silvers as well, so you should be good to move on to Gold.

EDIT:

This is incredible lol

 

[Triscuitable]

I would love to have that HMG in a future Halo game. Or heck, we've already got tons of DLC weapons in Halo 5. One more wouldn't hurt.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Fuuuuuu#@#!$%#@@#!~! Stupid strict Aussie customs bite me in the ass. To think I could have been drooling over my crate of loot today.

 

[FyreWulff]

Reach-

Amazing marketing
Amazing graphics for the time
Amazing score
Amazing campaign even though we knew the ending before hand
Clunky movement but it was new and couldn't really complain

Then I started to play mp...
It was okay at first
Then the rocket jet packs and armour lock took over... this was the least amount of mp I've ever played within halo.

Depends on which era you played. Armor lock was being removed from the game and not included in any new playlists before the handoff.

Your closer to getting yours than me and I'm in Canada

There has been some postal strike shenanigans that might be affecting mine.

That sucks, thanks now I don't feel so bad mate

 

[YourExWife]

Was anyone else aware that you can block literally every spawn on Husky Raid?

 

[GringoSuave89]

This can make for some fun griefing.

[YourExWife]

Our lobby has video receipts coming soon.

 

[NoLongerALurker]

6 straight searches I get Tyrant assault, Overgrowth strongholds, and Riptide slayer. Dodge each time and finally got Plaza strongholds. Fall preview needs to end.

I'm going to be pissed if Canada Post goes on strike for the same reason. Hopefully it won't come to that though.
