Halo 5: Guardians |OT5| Is HaloGAF irrelevant now?

automatic doors for all maps!
Hope so. Had an idea since forge launched that won't work until this is fixed
The concept on the new "master" gametype where you can create cool things, sounds cool, but then I remember the terrible gametype selection menu in Halo 5 and how it has no order and is just a jumbled list of gametypes. And something still feels off about King of the Hill and Race not actually being official modes, but just works from another gametype. Like saying Oddball is in Halo 5 because you can mess with the Ball gametype to make it count points for holding the ball.
Yep. Honestly Reach started the trend of worse versions of the original armor (Mk V got that stupid cap, EVA went ultra smooth and weird-looking.)
The only armor I'd say has actually been improved in its later incarnations is GUNGNIR and Scout (ironically under 343's watch.)
Yep. I've been putting off my BioShock-themed map forever, but between having a much less hassle-prone way of making the automatic doors, and a true and proper underwater map to set it on, I guess I'm done putting it off.
Ideally you would want one game mode powerful enough to recreate every game mode that's currently in or missing though with some voice clips for the type.
A mega game mode is the dream
If they can actually make KoTH and Race feel official with proper sounds/announcer I am all for it. I just have a feeling that is to complicated to pull off.
I mean I suppose even if they can't, I will still be for it, but proper sounds and other gametype attributes mean a lot.

At least now with the Custom Games Browser those gametypes being in the game isn't meaningless. I would prefer KOTH be official if it plays well enough though. Best case we see Oddball and KOTH in the Social Skirmish mode and Race in Action Sack.
If it's using Megalo like scripting for the modes I think it's fully possible. We will find out Tom though
Amusingly it's like it's full circle because it was like every gametype in Reach's megalo system was ultimately based off KotH internal mechanics lol. And now KotH is derived from a different root gametype

If King of the Hill doesn't have medals/announcements then meh.
I'm going to do a contest on here for my gift req pack. Whoever gives me the most gift packs wins.
Kidding. What I want is a post that discusses what you think is the biggest success for Halo 5 and what you think its biggest flaw is. Min 3 paragraphs for each. Pictures aren't necessary, but they help break up the text and can give additional context to what you're saying. So I can be lazy, include "Karl's Contest" at the top or bottom of the post; this way I can just use the search function. If I think there's more than 1 post that stands out I'll buy some more for people. Deadline is next Monday.

I just wrote a some 4000 words article for my job some time last month on it LOL.
Well now you can get approximately $2.99 in digital crap for doing the same thing.
Great point by Tom. Two way conversation is very beneficial for devs. If they can ignore the shit flinging and death threats, they can really listen to what the community wants. Likewise, engaging with the various communities helps us understand the devs more and what they can or cannot do, why something is a certain way. The community feedback program, guys like Bravo on reddit etc.
Is there anything besides the browser coming to PC? I didn't quiet understand their wording with the 'entire Halo 5 Multiplayer' comments...

In hindsight that was a very big hint indeed. Are you the community member that was mentioned in that Gamespot article?
Well all the Forge stuff, new Forge environments, game types ect. but other then that, nothing has been confirmed or said on anything else.

More Goblin's will be coming to Warzone.
Where's Green Ranger?
If we don't get to cram ourselves into one of these come Halo 6 I will be so, so disappointed.

"Hello! Here is a report. Everybody knows the Goblin is the best vehicle at being great, ever invented. Its only got one real big problem, and that is sometimes it doesnt kill nearly enough humans enough. So me and a bunch of other top Balaho sciencers did all kinds of new planning and methods and made some important ideas. We did a new kind of Goblin named Beam Goblin! It makes the old Goblin look like old stink-garbage that got thrown away for being terrible. It is the new best at killing and I will explain at you how come.
One idea is that there wasnt enough exploding, so we decided to add more exploding in this one. Like the old poem goes, Needlers are really great for fighting humans but its sometimes good to explode them. OH! And if you ask whats the worst thing to get shot by? I know the answer right away A SCARAB BEAM! So we put one on its front! So, in concussion, this is a great new thing to stomp around with and kill humans at. The end! May each step on the Great Journey be bouncy.

"To start, more than 650 new objects are being added, bringing the total number of unique objects to upwards of 3,800 in the map- and mode-making toolsuite."
The Halo 5 engine is absolutely incredible.
Hey and they are adding file recovery for forge on consoles, hooray!
Depths looks like a really cool canvas.

The amount of positive reaction on my YT channel regarding the update is very good, I'm so excited about this update the server browser is going to be a very important feature for the future of the franchise and I'm really happy to see the return of my favorite helmet the Mark V

Of all days it just sucks. Ive got (checks gamehub) 70~ days worth of playing this game, and I dont have these problems the VAST majority of the time, but when it does happen its infuriating because the whole game stops working.
Yes.
Well, terrible gameplay footage as usual, but it seems like it'll be a fun enough game mode. Perhaps having less of a driving distance so teams duke it out faster would be better.
But mostly I just want the golf clubs as weapons. Can't wait to resurrect BioShock 2's Kill 'Em Kindly game type.
Damn. I've got 17d6h logged. Meanwhile Nokyard and his 111 days...
