Do the Elite controllers have similar drift and bumper issues as the standard controllers?

Congratulations dude you are part of the wonderful return of Halo on PC
One thing that I am LOVING is that no one is being mean on the chat so far or doing anything bad, people just really want to play Halo 5 on PC and I am happy I could help make it easier for people

It might be blasphemy but I really would want the next update to enable the option for cross play that you can turn on or off when you host. My PC is too weak for the game and I really want to play with some of my old Halo buddies who dont have consoles anymore.

Got put up against the same 5-6 french premade 3 times in a row, lost all 3 games.
I guess this game isn't for me anymore, YOU HAVE TO BE PREMADE getting shoved down my throat is zero fun.
Also did something happen to the controls? It's either that or I haven't played Halo in a while, but it feels like I am walking through knee-high mud.

Looks like a Reach map. Amazing.
The bumpers are absolute ass on these things
But they probably won't. All you have left of that legacy is the campaigns and a terrible MP experience.
You also brought up BF4 as example. That's one game that DICE has to fix. MCC's broken part is 5 MP games that are pretty much duct-taped together by 6 devs (7 if you count Splash Games who brought us the "MP is playable patch"). It's a far far more complex issue, than fixing one game.
You guys also seem to forget that people promised us Halo 3 and Halo Reach playlist updates after Halo 4 has released. Did it happen? I don't think so...
While it looks much better, I doubt it fixes the real issues that the map has. Which is terrible spawns, terrible weapon and power up placement and overall layout.
That's awesome. People are nice indeed and it's really easy to find people, but goddamn is it complicated to get a game going. Having to add people, not being able to see your notifications and therefore accepting invites, etc. etc. Xbox App needs to receive 1 or 2 updates to make it even better.
To anyone who bought the Elite controller: did it help make the aiming in Halo 5 less weird?

Does blocking people affect matchmaking? I'm thinking of blocking high level players who team up with low levels and absolutely ruin the game for everyone
... that's a goddamn clever name
No.
That did work in MCC but it was abused so they took it out in Halo 5. High ranked players would block other high rank players and then only match up against lower ranked people on purpose.
Yep. Customs still work for me 80% of the time, mostly you just get disconnected from your party after a number of games. Campaign has never given me any issues with resetting playlists and such. I honestly don't regret buying it at all. Still doesn't mean I wouldn't have preferred MS to put the (clearly substantial) effort into truly ironing out 95% of the issues, as opposed to fixing 70% and then just giving the game away in bundles. "It was free, they won't gripe that much."

If all the forge maps looked like that, it wouldnt bother me so much
How about a link to it so we can download it? Whats the gamertag or name?
Edit: So found that map, name of the creator is: Pwn Jones. Pegasus 2.0.

Just played a pretty decent game of Slayer on Truth. My team was usually in the lead, and eventually won, but there was one player that sounded like he was about to burst a blood vessel or something. Couldn't just mute him, 'cause he was periodically making call-outs.
Seems like I top out at Diamond 4 in Slayer, playing by myself. I'm content with that.

I think this game needs something to protect the player around this, it contributes to the quitters. So you get matched against a team and half your team quits. Your options are to quit and get banned or take a beating.
I love Halo 3 but MCC was enough. Give me a real expansion to H5.

how does someone who has no Live friends play this on PC then? Obviously its only custom and private matches, is their a list GAF list for PC players?

On the flip side this also shows how powerful this forge tool is, especially now that it is in the PC community's hands.
Already posted in the Data Mine thread, but here are the Brute Prototypes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFD_vgzrFSk
Not liking the Sniper. Feels cheap and reminds me too much of the Nornfang.

How? The brute sniper isn't a one shot. Although it does seem to be really useful against vehices.
That brute rocket launcher looks useless af
Just doesn't feel like a Brute weapon to me. Hope that changes, though. This is still WIP probably, so we'll see.

Yeah I agree it seems like the spread would have to be smaller and the explosion timer should be smaller. Though the mortar gun seems to be missing something. Seems really useful just a little simple.

Yup. My left bumper is fucked up since within 2 months or so of reicieving the Elite. Microsoft wouldn't replace 🤗🤗🤗 It still works but I have to push a lot harder than the other bumper and it pops out like halfway a lot.

Doesn't elite have a 3 month warranty?
Yeah, I'm just hoping that they are still trying to figure out where these weapons will fit in the sand box.
Very much a WIP, so I shouldn't jump to conclusions.

What I would love to see return if we get a Brute Firefight expansion
.jpg)
Brute Shot
Spike Grenade
Chopper
Also, to give the Brutes some unique mechanics in H5, they should exclusively get the ability to use Equipment, similar to Halo 3.
Also, the Brutes should mostly function similar to how Halo 3 treats them, but I think it would be cool to have some Brutes that are unarmored like Halo 2 and berserk in the same way Halo 2 does it, and the more armored higher ranking ones are Halo 3 style.
and of course, we need to be able to get this thing as a mythic REQ and finally unleash the beast that is the Fist of Rukt...though I have no idea how they could possibly make it stronger than Tartarus Gavel...maybe transfer what Tartarus Gavel does to Fist of Rukt and then make Tartarus Gavel not as powerful?
Did I miss anything? I know I didn't put the Spiker but there is so many machine guns I dunno where that would fit in the sandbox.

I love the spike grenades. Almost as much as I love the splinter.
Love me some splinter nades. So oooooh fun >=D

Getting back into Halo after a long long hiatus and going through my placement matches. Initial Impressions:
-Yo the radar is a lot smaller
-Precision weapons are still BnB love machines and the pistol is near CE levels (not quite); had weird initial response with spawns w/ AR and Pistol but yo that pistol
-Maps are weird and large (I know it's cause of the new movement options); not a fan that they need to be designed so large
-Think there are way too many functions for the controller, I like bumper jumper still but don't like sprint on "A"

Yup. 343 should be on it to test the map to see nothing broken or changed, no exploits, work on improving spawns if they're same as base level Pegasus and get this in the game right away.
I would even say they should reach out to the Community Cartographers again and have them do updates for all of the BTB maps using the new textures and assets etc. Really shows how limited launch forge was.

It sucks.. I have to switch the RB bumper with Up on the D-Pad just so I can reload and use that function elsewhere.
And now the drift on my right joystick is so bad that not even a 15% dead zone fixes it. Playing Halo like this is horrible. These controllers are so terrible compared to the 360.. I've never had issues with any controllers until the Xbone. Same with these flimsy headsets.
At this point, I'd play Warzome Fire fight until you get a BR and some ghosts... With skill, Thats, really you need to do well in Warzone/ Warzone Assualt.

For how incredible the forge community is, 343's response is a lot less enthusiastic.
With the starting 7500 req points he should be able to get a BR.
