Nice to hear that, I have been recording my Halo Wars Definitive Edition gameplays with Nvidia Shadowplay without problems tho
How? I can't get Shadowplay to record Halo 5: Forge.

I just copypasta'd the first page of games we played. Left off this one...
But for real, FAT is falling off for sure.

I found Nutter's response funny lol. I looked at your post, saw the 50-20 and thought, "Nutter doesn't even have to explain that one lol. I would've been playing with my toes if I matched against those players too."
But then his response was essentially, "Well, I did better earlier!"
So I guess you were carrying after all.

All I know is I can wreck people on PC who have never played Halo 5 before. So essentially playing a bunch of FATs.
Eh you got me.
People often complain that social is still full of try hard when 95% of our games last night could have been played with my feet and still we would have won.
I just wanted to make fun of FAT.

I think the issue that's triggering folks is that (with a few exceptions) they're used to playing mostly people at their middle to low skill barrier, then go to social to relax or whatever and they match people with higher skills because the matching is looser, so from that perspective there's *even more* sweaty matches.
The flip side, of course, is that onyx-y types are matching folks at their skill level often too, so it often feels no different than ranked matches.
To your point, though, I think there was maybe 1 match last night where I even was concentrating.

any map with frame rate issues should be removed imo, it not acceptable.
It's not like Pegasus and Orion are great maps, quite the opposite... so just remove them!

Yo. Just got into multiplayer in this game. Is unlocking helmets and stuff for my character all random or what?
Pretty much.
There is an optimal system though, start with bronze packs until you finish common stuff then move onto silvers until you finish rares and then start golds.

I won't get duplicates for armor, visors, etc?
Everything is random, except for a coupple Emblems that you unlock through Commendations. You should buy only Silver packs, because they will guarantee you 2 permament unlocks every time + the chance of an Emblem in the 3rd slot. Do that until you are getting REQ points back from Silver packs, instead of unlocks. Then you can move on to Gold packs. It will be a very long grind, considering that they added much REQ stuff since release. Also, you can keep track of your progress on https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-5-guardians/xbox-one/requisitions/categories/customization?ownedOnly=False
You can also get additional REQ packs from:
- Daily Log-In packs
- winning an Arena and Warzone match every day
- playing/completing a coupple of Warzone Firefight matches

Perfect. Thanks.

Unless the change to add emblems as the third slot doesn't apply to Bronze packs, you should stick with the path of Bronze -> Silver -> Gold to maximize RP. Some may note how they frequently received packs without unlocks in Bronze packs, but that appears to be the minority from what I've seen others claim. A majority of my Bronze packs had two unlocks (they later updated packs to guarantee three unlocks: first two slots being weapons/armor/vehicles with the third reserved for emblems), so once I finished with the Commons and received RP back in Bronze, I then moved on to Silver.
So if that still holds true, without a doubt Bronze -> Silver -> Gold is your best bet imo. Do the math, it makes sense. Why waste RP on Silvers for Commons when you can clean those out with packs for 1/4th the price with Bronze? Say even worst case scenario where you don't receive any unlocks from a single Bronze pack, you can sell everything and almost earn enough RP to buy back that Bronze pack, whereas Silvers are 4 times the price.
I hope that made sense lol.
The one less offensive thing in H5's unlock system, at least compared to Gears 4 lol.

Anyone getting randomly booted from games online? I just lost connection to local network or something.... and got booted to the menu
Frequently recently yes. Having a hard time working out if it's me or them though as everything works fine seconds later

I can't get it to work on HWDE, can see the cursor but nothing else.
While there is a slight chance that the silver>gold route will be cheaper, the safest bet is to go bronze>silver>gold
Inevitably, you'll get a bunch of silver packs that only get you bronze level unlocks...this wasting your RP.
Has everyone seen this map?me thinks, I'd play the hell out of BTB if this was in heavy rotation.
It's easy on the eyes and has fun sight lines and vehicles

That looks fantastic, except for the one UNSC themed base. Seems really out of place to me.
