Uploaded some Reach gameplay if anyone's interested in how it runs. Got 28 kills lol, and there's some good ol' Sword and Hologram action.

Played it last night too; felt good.

You've always been one of my favorites.

Any BTB lobbies going?

Also who here is getting Gears again? I wouldn't mind having some folks to play Horde mode with. Pulled the trigger then preloaded the game today... Never played a Gears before so we'll see how it goes. Pc version apparently runs amazing tho so I'm looking forward to that.

I've got Gears 4 ready. I've also got 6 weeks of Calculus left, so we'll see how much love it gets.

Haha we all have our different tastes and I respect it. H3 will always have a special place in my heart. Most balanced. No abilities or sprint. Great maps and ranking system.

I value precision. For those who figured out how to use it, Halo 3 had a level of precision unmatched in all subsequent games, including Halo 5.

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Most balanced.

Useless imo:

• Plasma Rifle
• Carbine (unless AR/Magnum starts)
• Spiker
• Needler
• Magnum

And the AR was ineffective past 5 ft.

Migh add SMG as well. You can call Halo 3 a lot of things but balance isn't one of them.

 

[BizzyBum]

Damn, OpTic with that dominant 4-0 GF sweep of nV.

LethuL with the trolliest post-game interview, too.

NV had way too many close losses to Optic yesterday and today. Couldn't close out games at all and Optic punished them for it.

Yup, Halo 5 is easily the most balanced game, with a much larger weapon sandbox.

I'm redboxing it on tuesday, deciding between cod4 and gears 4, maybe both.

Get Gears 4.

Am I right in saying strongholds is the best objective game type?

I love it

Other than that we only have CTF and Assault. So there really isn't much to choose from...

Halo 5 having the best campaign gameplay rofl as you probably only played through it 2 times

I’ve played it 4 or 5 times now, easily the most fun Halo campaign imo.

 

[Nowise10]

I’ve played it 4 or 5 times now, easily the most fun Halo campaign for imo.

DISGUSTING.

Sanghelios missions are great though. But I don't know how you find missions where you walk around for 10 minutes going to button trigger to button trigger fun, along with 100% linear missions where you fight waves or Prometheans and Wardens as giving the best campaign gameplay out of all the Halo's

Reach is the best admit it

 

[Fuchsdh]

I'd say "Blue Team" is definitely up there with the all-time great Halo missions.

But I need to replay the campaign in a few months completely fresh. I've found my opinions take a while to settle.

AR was garbage I agree. I guess I am strictly basing it off of MLG since I played that the most. BR battles were the pinnacle point of the game.

H5 is pretty damn balanced considering all the abilities and sprint.

Picking up Gears tomorrow. Right now im trying to beat gears 3 so i can have some feels before 4 starts.

I cant wait!!

 

[Strider]

So I did do a couple more games of BTB last night and honestly even tho I reeeeaaaally still want pistol starts I'm kinda ok with the state of BTB right now.

That is besides the framerate issues which makes my head hurt... But once that's fixed...

Honestly it's more of the fact I'm just tired of the super schweaty arena solo queue nightmare.

Social playlists and/or solo queue playlist pleeeeeeeaaaaaase. It's not too late

Spoiler

They wont tho

Maybe in the next Halo game....

You should play Judgment.

Don't give into it.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Only if you coop with me every step of the way hahahaha

 

[Sanjuro]

I've been playing Gears for a few days now. Still absolutely dreadful at it.

Nothing has changed really. Most of the weapons don't do enough damage, so it becomes a rolling and charging shotgun battlefest.

Reach is the best admit it

I don’t really care how linear the levels are or if all you’re doing is pressing buttons when it’s so much fun just killing aliens. The moment to moment gameplay is so much better in H5 than any of the previous games in the series.

There’s only two missions I thought weren’t that great which were the mission where you first encounter Exuberant Witness and drive around in the tank and the Blue Team mission in the Domain. Even those two aren’t bad though. There’s not a single point in H5’s campaign where I was bored (besides maybe subsequent play throughs of the Warden Fights but that was more frustrating than boring).

Then you’ve got the best sequence of levels in the series with Sanghelios through to Sunion and fantastic missions like Blue Team, the mission where you’re fighting through the canyon on Genesis and the final mission where you have to destroy the shield generators.

It’s infinitely better than Reach which I haven’t even bothered to play through more than a couple of times.

There's a reason I just play FFA any time I load it up. But yeah I wish TU slayer was standard at this point. Or! Or they could have brought back squad slayer. RIP best game mode

 

[Akai__]

Decided to play Custom Games with 7 German peeps... How is it possible, that we get a laggy server, if we are all in the same country? I got Lag Ninja'd while the guy was facing me from the front. It's not only that, though... For the 1st 30 minutes were not being able to start a Dedicated Sevrer, because of Attention Warnings. I counted 13 "Attention" warnings.

I'm done with this game, unless they do something about these servers. This shit is embarassing.

If we had 343 of today in 2011, we wouldn't have gotten the nasty vanilla/ZB/TU split. I understand why they felt they had to do it though; their first big action taking over the franchise trying to completely remake Bungie's last game would have gone over even less well than what they did.

Looks like someone hasn't been using the Enforcer or Hammerburst

 

[Sanjuro]

I still feel they are weak!

The Enforcer feels really good, but people can still roll out of the way and out of distance quickly. Hammerburst I can't tell yet if it's more powerful. Almost every game I've played I've been down a man or the game is skewed in one direction fast.

I enjoy campaign and horde in Gears, but competitive MP is poor compared to other shooters, especially Halo.

I carried your ass, man.

Shame that Gears always has those problems. Still a much better franchise debut than 343i with Halo 4.

This is true.

I wasn't even aware another developer made this new entry. The key to success in this life is to make a popular franchise, then have someone under Microsoft's wing take it over.

Blue Team is great, Sanghelios missions are fun. The Breaking is the campaign's low point.
