This game is just missing a Blood Gulch or a Valhalla or a Complex.
Problem with community forge maps is they all look the same. Same grey walls and scenery.
Hopefully their map strategy is different in Halo 6. BTB maps on launch. No remix maps. Every map should be 100% unique instead of, oh, 50% unique.
Oh god PLEASEEEEEE make the vehicles better. Bring back the Halo 2 / 3 system and give them those good hard counters

Youre surprised, im stunned. They didnt have time for BTB when halo5 launched, fine. That was in 2015. Since then, they STILL didnt have time to create real BTB maps. NOT ONE MAP. From 2015 to 2017, no time to create ONE real BTB map. Honestly, this makes me fucking hate 343. They destroyed the only gametype i cared about.
It better be, if its not then Halo will be dead to me for good. Theyve had enough chances.

Or they could add a good BTB map.
I can picture it now.

Christ dude really? So it's impossible to play a match without being annihilated by super skilled Monster energy drink fuelled teenagers? Reminds me of when I naively bought Halo 3 circa 2014 or so thinking it'd be the same multiplayer experience as when it launched and just got destroyed in every match because only the hardcore were still left playing it.
So it's impossible to have a fair and decent match because it's the same as that?
Thanks for the insight on the MCC and Halo 5 campaigns by the way. That helps. Looks like they both might be worth it for the single player then, so that's cool.

His game probably bugged and didn't show certain playlists. Happens from time to time.
It's just the aiming system.

The bug I can't stand is when I can't immediately sell a REQ after opening a pack. Have to back out to the main menu multiple times.

you're not wrong. only sweaty neck beards still play this game.
You would think sweaty neckbeards would use game chat and take the game too seriously. Yet I only ever get people talking in every 20th game. And even when they do talk they are assholes most of the time

Curious about this sandbox re-balancing. Hopefully it's out before D2.

Off topic but I just finished Little Nightmares last night. What an outstanding game. Met all my expectations and more. Dont know what it is but I've really been enjoying these smaller independent games. Definitely my game of the year so far. Next I'm going to try out Rime.
I struggled with little nightmares. Found the enemy ai to be kind of unpredictable and the controls a bit sloppy, both leading to many frustrating restarts. Been meaning to fire it up and power through though, it has it's own disgusting children's book look only perverted that I love.
But rime is outstanding!

Ive had an enemy or two bug out and just stand there but otherwise no issues. Some of the moments in the game are intense. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and like you said perverse world. Excited to try Rime!

It still doesn't show for me. I'm not sure what to do? Another user said it's a glitch so I guess I will hard reset my Xbox to see if that works.
Yeah, for sure.

Halo 5's movement, meta, skill gap, map knowledge, etc isn't necessarily super deep, but it can be awkward and hard to master. You will be up against mostly dedicated fans at this point. I noticed that even in social playlists it could be really "sweaty." A lot of us have Halo 5 specific gripes to some degree, but even in BTB it feels too frantic and demanding at times. I say this all without even mentioning how the aiming infamously feels, which isn't great (even with the update). Then you have the barrier of the controls themselves, which was only remedied for me and others by a $150 elite controller purchase (not worth it imho).
I'm sure you could still enjoy yourself, but don't expect the Halo fun of yore.

Can't believe they removed the only social 4v4 AR/Pistol starts playlist lol.
Way to go 343 playlist decision makers, you killed my interest again to casually jump into Halo 5. Should have combined HCS and Team Arena if those three playlists had too much overlap with low populations. I can't see this being a net positive for the community.

343 said that the social playlist had consistently low pop and was just taking pop away from HCS and Arena. If no one is willing to play the social variant than why not get rid of it?
Now if only the pop counters were public...

It being the only social variant is significant though, and there's the fact that some people just don't want to play ranked. Can't tell them to not be concerned with their ranks either because so many people are, so they'd be negatively impacting the experience of others when they're just casually playing.
Why is Team Arena more important than HCS and Skirmish? They could have combined Team Arena and HCS; it'd make more sense too since those are both ranked.
Is it only req packs? I don't really need emAwesome! Enjoy those req packs
People were asking me if I stream lol

You also get entered into some draw for an xbox one x if you go to all of the planned ms store touranments and a draw for a limited edition xbox one controller if you go to at least one of the tournaments.I went to one of these today and ended up getting knocked out in the first round even though I got like 18 kills in the match I got knocked out in.In that same match someone got like 50 kills. Lol.I did better then I expected in a magnum only tournament.
Seems like people all across the spectrum, from casual to pro, have been pretty satisfied with the MS store tournaments.
This would have been pretty awesome as a promotion that started around the launch of the game. The in-person experience is a key to building Halo's community.

last time they talked about the AI for their campaign it was a lie. We got shit AI team mates. I believed that their specific team, only working on that Halo 5 campaign AI, was going to be Amazing, i was SOOOO wrong. lol
if you're trying to boost clicks to your website .........
edit: they had a vidoc somewhere with the AI team talking about how that was their only role within 343i. Their role was to make these 3 ai members the best ever. So i know this is more in relation to the enemy AI, but at this point, anything AI related is getting a eye roll from me. *Until i see game-play evidence

Bring back the AI from Combat Evolved and fine tune it a bit.

This guy gets it.
You know hearing stories about Rainbow Six and remembering where Counter Strike was a few years back....I know some people here and myself have been saying it for awhile, but please Make Halo MP a Platform!
343 says they have even seen growth in Halo 5, I imagine if they would have kept sustaining it with more monthly DLC or moved big DLC updates into "Seasons" it could still grow even more.

Except sustain it with good maps instead of Molten, Riptide, etc...
That too

Molten's spawns are so hilariously bad I don't understand how a professional studio could take the time to make it and push it out without seeing it's glaring flaws.

Overgrowth, Molten and Riptide were all glaringly flawed as a Halo map, don't know how any of them got past the early stages of development.
Better sustainability yes, as a platform no. Doesn't make sense in a story driven franchise. Though 343i already has 2 strikes on the campaign side. If 342i fails in delivering a Halo campaign once again, then maybe they should change to Halo as a platform.
It really depends which game serves as a platform, since every Halo played very differently from each other (so much that I really don't know what game should be the basic model for all future titles) (at least, Destiny players don't have this problem, and that's a good thing).
Halo CE? Sure!
Halo 2? Hell yeah!
Halo 3? Hmm, why not, as long as you increase the base player movement speed.
Halo Reach? Same as Halo 3.
Halo 4? Ehhhhh.... (I would be okay as long as it plays with Legendary Slayer settings)
Halo 5? Hell no.
Well if it does happen it'll almost certainly be Halo 5 or similar.
