I see skyscrapers. I wonder if it's just artistic freedom or HW2 does not only take place on the Ark.

i don't experience the 20 attentions, but i have been experiencing the lag and latency much more than before. which in turn has turned me off to play until i see it addressed.... i think ill take a little break playing was causing a bit more frustration than enjoyment and i dont want to play to become angry you know? if i get kicked after all the contribution, then whatever. lol
That ship has sailed for me. Am angry and frustrated every day. Same as my friends.
If am gonna make a clip every time things happen the whole azure servers will come down.
Its almost every game now.
Frankie, Tashi, Please? Any update?

There's really nothing like The Pit in 5, so it'd be a welcomed addition. I'd prefer they go off of the Halo 4 version with the lift to Sword room and up the scale a tad.

You havne't played the PIT remake that was available in the forge playlist? i think i played it in action shack with some type of king gametype.
it was aight.

ahh ok thanks
It's pretty much incompatible with motion trackers, especially given how it's more useful with elevation since Reach.
In my experience it's not fun having to take elevators around the whole map just to find people... it doesn't funnel people to battle locations well.

I never played the forge playlist. I'd rather have a develop made version though, that's updated for 5's sandbox.

Hmmm, so it was the "Or am I crazy?" option. Before I guess I may have been getting a couple misses that dealt some splash damage from a wall behind my target or something while they were running around a piece of geometry at the beginning or end of firing and that may have contributed to my belief that it took more than 2 hits to kill.

Narrows + Thruster pack and ground pound sounds like good fun. Plus, it'd be the end of mid-air mancannon collisions which were cheap deaths.

Good guns would be a breach of Halo 3's design, that doesn't mean it's a bad idea.

It is though
Valhalla was ruined by "good guns" shooting across the map, among the other nonsense in Halo 4. Remakes have been an inherently bad idea for a while now.

Valhalla was never good in my opinion, a better sandbox just further exposed its design flaws. Viking is a lot better with the expanded cover on the containment wall. Avalanche works as is because it's a good map. Sidewinder bloodline >>> Blood Gulch's bloodline.It is though

Of course every BTB map in Halo 5 would be better with pistol starts.

It's a megabloks themed pit remake. It's pretty darn fun.
IIRC ODST was pretty much done by then when Mythic 1 released. Due to the Mattrick fuckery it spent time just waiting to be released, it was supposed to all hit at once with Recon/ODST in 2008:

My wish for a H3 Anniversary content update would be slightly updated versions of Avalanche, Rat's Nest, and Last Resort. Just make them slightly bigger to account for thrust and clamber and they would be nice to have. I know that in reality we wouldn't get a single one of those, but a man can dream that someone at 343 remembers that BTB exists, can't he?
They changed Halo CE/PC multiplayer sounds in Master Chief Collection didn't they? Because i started a custom match to test stuff but the weapons sound... wrong, not what i remember from Halo PC. The Fuel Rod Gun and Flamer especially...
Also my headphones broke (right after i stopped playing). Fuck. They are just over a year old, i figure the warranty probably just expired...

Yes, it's using the CEA sound effects.
Not a fan. But then there's but one 4 player list for Halo CE so whatever, it is not like i'm going to play it online. Would've loved try Halo CE BTB but not touching a mixed-game playlists.
Guess i'll need to dig up my Halo PC CD key and install Custom Edition, perhaps someone is still running a vanilla or vanilla-like server.

I never really found this fun. Unless I was in a Hog while our team had the Laser, Halo 3 Valhalla felt terrible a lot of the time imo.It is though

I don't think remakes are an inherently bad idea, it just depends on execution.
I'm playing really good Halo 3 remakes in the PC version all the time.

This one looks nice, but the scale seems off.
I'd rather have a dev crafted map over a forge map every time, regardless of forge quality.
True.
I just hope they go all in and just release every H3 map, but we all know this probably won't happen

Yeah, but the Valhalla remake in H5 BTB is great. Hitscan weapons might change the nature of engagements, but they don't *ruin* it unless you have 3x DMRs in loadouts.

Can't find this map anywhere, and the download link doesn't work. If anyone has a link to it pliss share.

I checked their profile on H5 and it wasn't there, but it's on Waypoint? I thought the fileshares are identical lol. Either way it worked, thanks!
NP.
I just had it bookmarked; i marked all of the decent+ remake forge creations when that one google doc showed up tracking them all
Back playing Halo 5 after a hiatus tonight. My friend and I play a game of Infection, and get a map on Molten. My friend tells me he got teleported when he ran through the lava, so me and him try it, but we kept dying. Que the third death trying to get to the teleporter, and my friend gets kicked from the game and banned from playing.
I get back on later tonight by myself, and my first infection game someone repeatedly cheats and gets out of the map to hide, and wins the game as he is the last man standing everytime. And guess what? 343 has zero system to ban people who use actually use exploits in Matchmaking and "ruin" the game, but God forbid you commit suicide 3 times in Infection, or quit a social game. I hate how helpless I feel when playing Halo 5. I feel like 343 doesn't give a damn, when I see games like Overwatch take amazing care of the games matchmaking and its playerbase.

I'd always take the 2 narrow ramps up to the sword room while opposing teams focused on camping the lifts. Though I agree the map would be better without motion trackers.
If you already have all of the reqs in that pack it's worthless.

I don't know if I have all of those REQs or not but I personally wouldn't buy it if I had a spare 100K points laying about. I've been getting nothing but customization and visual REQs for the past few days. I finished playing just a few moments ago but decided I wanted another REQ pack after opening a Gold and my Level 90 pack, so I sold a shitton of stuff to get up to 10,000 from 400. I finally got a non-customization REQ and it wound up being the Gunfighter Magnum, which I'll never even use (why couldn't I have gotten the extended mag Magnum first? Sigh...). So I wouldn't buy the pack if I could afford it.

I've been a little inactive lately and I'll be busy the rest of the weekend so next time I can be on would be Monday.
Are you talking about something like this.

Yeah. The wasp spam is annoying. It must be way worse in that warzone warlords playlist because I heard teams were saving their wasps to use them like crazy in that playlist.
Also one interesting thing about the warzone warlords is watching to see which teams plan to just fight in the air with the wasp during warzone matches.
Not just that, even regular warzone.
There is no fighting. No hard work for garage / fortress.
Just spawn wasp and there you go , you can take the fortress back even if its almost capped.
Just dont understand these decisions.
You have a wasp an aircraft at lvl 3 with no counter weapons.
Am not sure it was even needed to begin with.
There was more fighting, more challenge, more gunplay and strategy to capture a base or push or do anything.
Now, all I hear and see : Spawn a wasp.
The wasp spam is awful in warzone, but my point is that it's probably even worse in that 12 man playlist.It probably may be increased by a req level soon which may make warzone matches less filled with wasps. I do think lowering the req level of certain weapons like the spartan laser should help reduce the effectiveness of the wasp at the start of a warzone match.
Yeah, saw couple of teams playing that. Horrible/Boring at max level.
