Worst Halo ever.
Frankie killed my dog.
Tashi doesnt fix the game; he just sits in the menus.
343i ruined Halo.
I miss real Halo.
Bring back Bungie.
Seriously though, its good. The multiplayer is one of best in the franchise and the campaign is fairly decent, not the best but certainly not bad. Overall, its one of the best fps this gen. Just be warned its like 90GB now.
yyyyyup it's cooking up now. RIP my hard drive, she was so young.

OK, so your comment seemed quite different from what I think of as my standard experience on that map/gametype combo. I went to your recent games and bookmarked your latest film on Scavenger SH. I watched it all the way through and only saw 1 death that I would consider "spawn killed". And even that death wasn't really something that the other team intentionally set up or anything.
If it's cool with you, I want to try something new and use the theater film and go over it with some commentary to discuss what issues I noticed while watching your gameplay and maybe suggest some changes that might make your time spent more enjoyable/more successful.
Totally serious, because it was kind of eye-opening for me in terms of how other people play the gametype on that map. Would you have an issue with that?

Gunplay and gunfights are amazing. Reminds me of halo 2 mp days, if you ever played that.
Getting used to all the movements will take some time.
Enjoy.
Edit: exwife the real mvp of haloGaf.

- Sprint then crouch to slide
- Sprint then melee to charge (deals damage and knockback)
- Jump and scope in to activate stabilizers
- Hold the melee button while in midair to charge up a ground pound
- The thrusters vary by button layout, but they are purely for rapid horizontal traversal (which can help you duck into cover or cross long distances)
- Don't sprint when your shields are down, if you can help it
use the shitty promethean weapons against the shitty prometheans. makes them slightly less shitty
oooo thanks for this. played a shitload of 2 mp way back when. i miss it. sorta fell off the series after 3 which i had a lot of fun with.
Clearly a champion caliber player here and not at all at that rank because he queues with a friend on a smurf. No sir... Legit as could be.

When is 343 going to upgrade MM Pegasus?
Hopefully never because it would probably run at 10fps.

Those pics represent the transition from CE's art style to H2 pretty well. One set is full of life, vibrant colors everywhere, and the other just sucks all energy out of it, although more detailed and "next gen."

It actually doesn't have any frame drops. They even fixed some flaws of the map, adding a ramp to the red tower and a lift by shotgun.
Where you melee at someone and nothing happens? That's just going to be a thing with games over the internet. Ghost melees been in every asynch Halo.
I saw the new Entombed and thought, "these repeating textures really make this look like an OG Xbox map."

Blinding white isn't very full of life and vibrant:
Always why I hated Boardwalk... that white is ugly and distracting af

Nah, they just aren't playing. lol
School kind of killed all gaming for me, I think I've only played 4 customs in Halo 5 Forge so far :c
I want to get back on the main game but time is a killer.

I don't think people should worry about ranking in arena. From a historical standpoint, within HaloGaf seasons, many people exclusively play WZ. (now social lists)
Going off what I've seen time to time, we always have a good chunk of people who don't rank at all. I gather that Gringo checks their activity and only boots anyone who doesn't actually play.

Yeah, I only posted because I was perusing people in the SC and theres a couple of people in the handful I looked at that seem to have never played:

Well, that's exactly what I've been doing, sooo...
Yup and your activity proves your value, some people tho....
I swear they've been getting worse. It probably depends on the server.
It's worth noting that 26/100 players in the company have never placed in a ranked playlist.

I'm sure we have a few Warzone only peeps in the Company. So long as they contribute.

Holy shit, I hadn't seen those visual upgrades. That's like a 5000% improvement.
I thought the same. People are already overusing these textures, especially the Stone ones.
Halo maps just need more color.

I think Antifreeze, Recurve, Scavenger and Fracture look decent enough. Guillotine and Boulevard would greatly benefit from a city forge pallet (city skyline sky box). Viking looks like quintessential Halo, No God Anywhere continues to be among the best forgers. Entombed looks pretty bad, they indeed went overboard with the textures. I actually liked the last iteration of Deadlock better than what we currently have, curious what Nokyard was thinking with the rusty/pristine thing. Basin looks like trash, it should probably be removed while Viking is present.
As for new maps Dispelled is pretty cool, CE vibes and not just from Timberlands. Estuary looks like it's out of Halo 2. I actually think Unearthed looks bad, but that's due to its unappealing setting rather than bad forging. Haven't seen Traffic Jam yet.
