Plus some of Arby's dudes.
I do kind of hope that H6 campaign leans into the hub world concept that we didn't ultimately get for H5. The status quo shift with the Created is such an awesome opportunity to explore new parts of the universe and with different factions and playable characters. Even if the ultimate goal is "get everybody on the same team to fight Cortana", you could play it out a la a Wings of Liberty style campaign where you have different systems and different campaigns with a story that wouldn't necessarily have to be played in order.

Ran into my first group of Warzone farmers last night, and it really sucked. Tried to fight back by taking some bases at the start, but it didn't matter. Had to quit after about 8 mins. What a sham.
Had some matches against a French premade last weekend, on WZ Assault.
8 Wasps spawn klilling me isn't fun :/

My first was offense and my second was defense. Defense seems to have an advantage since they won at the temple of both occasions, but I thought the layout of the map was fun and different from other Warzone Assault maps.
You know 343i, when I pick "Focused", that means "don't fucking match me with people playing in Australia or on DSL, causing me to lag so badly I get kicked and lose my RP boost".
I am so fucking sick of getting kicked from Warzone matches because of other people's shitternet. And before anyone says it's on my end:
I have that exact same internet speed and provider and I can tell you without any fear of error, that my internet and my neighbors (and half of Seattle online apparently) has been total unreliable garbage for weeks.
Comcast says there's nothing going on, but it magically improves when you call.

Halo 6, they become the Nathan Fillion Squad.
I'd love if Halo 6 added another 4-player team consisting of Arby, Rtas, N'tho, and Usze.
That's very helpful, thanks for the advice. I'll give them a call.
My main problem though is that this isn't a "once in a blue moon" deal. It's something that happens a lot, and only with Halo 5. I play a lot of multiplayer games in addition to Halo, like Destiny, Evolve, Call of Duty, and so on. The only one in which I am consistently disconnected at least a few times per week is Halo 5.
(That said, I'm sorry for the profanity; I'm definitely prone to outbursts when frustrated)

Finally got to go back to Halo after a few months without it, and WOW, 343i has done a lot of work on the game. Firefight is my favorite WZ gametype, and some of the new Arena maps are great. I like the Sangheili Haven remake, especially.
What's on the horizon for future updates for the game?

It's such a bummer too because Warzone is a nice way go grind and acquire reqs. Arena just gives out req points too slowly

Got an ONI Scorpion with today's WZ FF daily win.

Hey isn't the update already live? I've got a few Wicked Grasp REQ's
Daaaaammmnnn, Brutes are going to be terrific in Firefight

Yeah, Anvil's Legacy has been live for a while. That's the teaser for the next update. Or maybe a toy.
We're not actually sure what's coming in the next update, since a lot of the Halo 5 Forge leaks paint to several updates worth of content in the coming months. We're not even sure if all of it is actually coming; some of it might just be cut content (while other items, like the Hannibal Wasp, have already been glimpsed in trailers).
They all show up in the six-man Buck-Truck.

Cool, thanks for the info
I really want to go up against a Grunt Gundam (Grundam?) in Firefight, but haven't yet. Are they in FF yet?
Right after the Bucket O'Bucks

I love when stuff like this happens
The grunt mechs are in FF have been for a little while but as it is luck of draw they seem to be weighted quite low compared to other bosses.Cool, thanks for the info

It's based on your Firefight commendations.

Soo uh is bookmarks and the actual browser just broken for everyone else too? Like I can't get past page one of any of my book marks and it just crashes if I do the same on "Most liked" pretty annoying.
I just hope that they have this armor style again.
I am sick of the Storm armor designs.

Lost a game 49-50, I wasn't annoyed until I saw that one of my teammates had 600 damage. 600 damage from a full game. Pretty much a 3v4 at the point.
Someone figured out how to improve the mouse a decent amount
Plug in a controller, and go to the controller settings.
Turn the deadzones all the way down.
Adjust controller sensitivity to max, you'll have to lower your mouse sensitivity afterwards.
Turn acceleration all the way down.

This kinda confirms what I was speculating I think...?
I was thinking the sluggish feeling of the mouse is caused by a lack of proper mouse input but instead you're just emulating an analog stick. Kinda like how it would be if you plugged in a kb/m adapter into your console. Just my theory I haven;t even tried kb/m myself on Forge PC.
But I can't really think of any other reason the controller settings would matter for mouse input.

If the mouse is merely emulating the stick, then changing stick settings affecting the mouse totally make sense.

Yeah they should warn you about that... Halo 5 is over 90gb now with all the updates and new content.

This game has so much armor, yet I have a hard time finding anything I like because most of it is horrible.

I can't ever settle on an armor set because none of them feel quite right. When I get Technician, Copperhead, or Heljumper, I'll stick with one of those, but in the meantime I shift between Shinobi, Locus, Indomitable, Mark-IV, Helioskrill, and Hunter.
It helps that Helioskrill is the first armor set when I pull up the appearance tab. That UI is awful, so I'm a lot more inclined to just pick the first cool armor set I come across than I am to actually bother scrolling through 200+ sets of "meh" to "oh dear god no" armor.

Noble and Mark VI all the way. Can't stand the rest unless I somehow pulled a Helljumper.

28 Gold packs to go, and I still don't have the Halo 2 Battle Rifle or Helljumper.
I'm not sure how the drops work, but I'm pretty sure some Legendary drops are weighted more heavily than others. It'd certainly explain why I have so many visors.

Seriously.. even the coolest helm doesn't look good with any other armor piece.
I go between Wrath and Shinobi heartless now.
Whenever we get the helm for achilles, ill switch to that.. maybe lol
How do you check how many packs you have left to go?
If you filled out the spreadsheets people made it calculates how many packs you have left.
I stopped bothering with it once I got through silver packs, but yeah I'm missing Buck's helmet, MkIV, the H2BR, and the load out magnum with extended mags... basically the last four things I want. The game knows it.
That, or it's my penance for getting all the DMRs so early.
I see, thanks. I just have gold packs left, and I only recently got the h2br. I just hope I'm close.

Part of the issue, too, is how minor some of the differences can be between armor sets and variations.

lol totally agree. I have tons of them and everytime i put another one on, i find it uglier than what i use now. Really not great designs.
I feel the same way about most of their skins. Theyre mostly ugly to the point where i rather keep my gun black.

I agree. Even give us options on sorting like rarity/recent etc.
