I was gonna make a mega post about all the changes I wanna see for H6 but I'm too lazy.
Anyways one part I would have included is Armor REQ changes.
What I would do is scrap every variant of armor. So no more duplicate armor that looks slightly different. But then there would be too few REQs right? Well then I would split the armor even further to be: helmet, right arm, left arm, torso, legs. Now we padded out the REQ system, while ensuring that each new REQ you get is unique.
On top of this, I would add an additional customization element called "decal" with various designs you can put on any full set of armor. So instead of having one armor set, and then the same armor set with flames (how the REQ system currently is), you can put the "flame decal" on any armor set you have.
Again, padding out the REQ system, while never feeling like you're getting the same shit over and over.

It is a nightmare to find helmets/armor you want if you have a lot, the customization tab and REQ collection uses different sorting method, and on Chinese version which I play on the REQ collection interfaces follows no known logic...

REQs really need to be better organized. There's some really obvious stuff, like stuffing variants under the overall armor types, but frankly even alphabetical listing would be appreciated.

Digitally, no it just downloads the latest version of the patched game. Discs install what's on the disk and download the latest update, which as games become more and more service based will make that more of a pain.
Anyone want to help host/join in on a Halo PC tournament via the Discord channel? We have nearly 3000 members now
That could be rather fun actually. Also 3000? Sweet jesus.

So, on an emotional level; i think 343 could bring me the emotion that bungie did, they just need a decent writing team.
hell i got emotional watching the Rise of Iron trailer, but the only time i got emotional in all of 343halo is the cortana cutscene in 4 and the end of the first blue team mission in 5.

or just port over the Halo: Reach armors to Halo 6.
I'd argue that some of the designs in Halo 5 were an improvement over Halo 4. But they are still vastly inferior than Bungies armor designs.
Today is appareantly Halo: Reach's birthday.
Appareantly it starts at 4:30pm PDT. EU was at 11:30pm, but I saw no cast nor do I know the Gamertags of people playing, so I didn't spectate anybody. 343i's communication skills strike again.

I want to know this too!

Your picture says 1130am PDT. Are you sure you were watching at the right time (aka 2 hrs ago-ish)?
EDIT: Just checked and twitch.tv/halo's last broadcast was on Sep 6. GG 343. #Soon #Transparency #NeverAnyStreamIssues #HCSListensToPlayersAndFans
...so basically everyone is a Halo fan!
Yeah, I checked the game directory on Twitch and saw nothing. Tuned in on the Halo channel and they weren't hosting or broadcasting anything.

Yeah, it's something the Halo series could've benefited from early on, once they start introducing tons of different armor sets. It's a bit of a Reach, but I feel like condensing armor variants under the primary armor piece has been done before.

Welp, according to this twitter convo, it's been postponed due to "regional network issues" as of many hours ago. But this revelation was only posted on ESL's site/twitter, not Halo or HCS twitter or halo.gg.

Just saw this. Hecz is a savage.
Its long overdue but he should have forced change in the offseason instead of letting them fuck around after the relegation. They will stick together, at least. Maybe Renegades or C9 picks them up but they need to not look like shit for the first few weeks. I think the team picks up Stellur at the transfer period.
They're probably gonna get another team in the future.

Man, matchmaking is far worse than I thought. I figured it was just pairing up Plat and Diamond players with Onyx and Champs. That's unacceptable, of course, but not nearly this bad. Holy moly.
Holy shit. But about time. Maniac was not the guy who was going to turn any squad around.
I get the feeling he's always had a natural ability for shooters, but H5 just demands so much more coordination and next level tactics to master at professional level.

The current best team that many want to see lose with one of the most popular organizations? Halo's viewership just increased.
No idea. Wonder if they're contracts with CLG expired. I bet they just sold the team though. Wonder why CLG would want out of Halo

CLG finally posted the official announcement. They mentioned they wanted to focus on other titles and expanding in new games.

Appreciate what CLG has done for Halo and wish them good luck. Sometimes you gotta make a tough call.
3-16 is not good, but damage calculation is still broken anyways. Most useless stat in Halo 5. Really surprised they didn't fixed it yet.
I have the feeling that it has to do with persons death. Friend managed to do a coupple Perfections on Team Doubles and he had 200 damage with 15+ kills and 0 deaths obviously. While I had between 8-10 with 2 deaths and had over 2000 damage. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly it is, but every time we test it, it doesn't make any sense.
Even told Snip3down about it and he wouldn't believe it at first, but then he went ahead and tested it and said I was right. That was like 5 months ago.
Yeah to be honest I don't care for my Xbox anymore now that Halo 5 forge is on PC. Gonna keep it for now since the its the best way to change emblem and armor for the PC spartan. Once other features like the customs browser and fov slider come in, I'll just sell my Xbox.
edit: I enjoyed the campaign but it isn't very replayable for me, and I really like Warzone and Warzone firefight but I can do without them to get the core arena experience on PC. Hoping they also add spectator mode and theater at some point.
