New community update https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/halo-ween-handoff

As Josh alluded to earlier this week, the Halo 5 team is still hard at work on content that lies ahead. These include new Forge goodness, weapons, skins, assassinations, stances, and variants of varying varieties, as well as features, such as the ability to browse and join live custom games (on both Xbox and Windows 10 PC), more maps into Warzone Firefight, and more. I’d like to tell you more, but I am told more details will be coming over the next few weeks. In addition to new stuff we think you’ll like, teams are working on and prioritizing improvements to matchmaking, servers, melee registration, and more.

Man, I wish I had logged in yesterday and gotten the Greatest Hits pack; I don't know when I would ever be at a point where I had a spare 100,000 REQ points laying around. Figures too, the one day I go without reading HaloGAF. Wish MS or 343i had sent an email or something out about the anniversary.
 
Bulletin had some good info:

- Bravo promotion (congrats!)
- more Halo 5 content coming
- Halo Wars 2 Blitz beta in the New Year
- what the upcoming graphic novel stories are about
- the return of an old face (welcome back!)

What a perfect time to return to Halo 5
if Titanfall 2 didn't just come out :p I'll have to try for this week

I've just started playing online and am thinking about tweaking the controller options.

I know these settings are a personal preference thing but I was just wondering what people were using.

I've seen it suggested that I set both dead zones to 0? What about aim acceleration and sensitivity? Does tweaking these settings make aiming harder but more precise? I don't know if I want to make aiming more difficult lol

Lost a game of stronghold last night. Then got into an argument with my teammate, who insisted that that slays was more important that stronghold captures and defenses...

He ignored the objective the entire game, and designated himself the slayer, chasing kills all match.

Of course he was bottom of the list in slays, captures and defenses.

I look forward to all updated content no matter much. I've been really pleased with Halo 5s support. I hope we see more good forge maps in mp though.

So when are we going to have a tourney without radar?

Watching these with this much crouching and ghost jumping is just sad.

I guess I didn't really need an email from MS telling me about the REQ pack but I am still surprised that there was no "Guess what? Halo 5 is now 1 year old. Happy Birthday!!!" style marketing email, something to entice people who haven't played to take a second look at it and bring people who haven't played in a while to come back. Maybe it's because of Gears and Forza being big right now and Halo Wars 2 on the horizon, Halo 5 truly is dad?
 
I really hope 343i plays TitanFall 2 and takes notes. Very different games obviously, but from a simple control standpoint, it's night and day. TF2 feels so smooth and natural.... The sticks melt away. By comparison, Halo 5 is a battle. A fidgety reticule that requires getting used to every time you pick the game up after even a short hiatus.
 
ghost jumping? 343 has to fix ghost melees first


Yeeah tourney is better than the HCS ones

343 already got rid of ghost jumping in an update (as far as I remember). It's all about movement speed now not just are you crouched or not. Nutter losing the plot confirmed. #FireNutter


EDIT: Man, some of these AM players are #notbad

i don't know what it is, but when i play halo 5 forge customs on PC all my gamepad issues with halo 5 disappear and i'm hitting perfects left right and center...

i really, really, really wish i could figure out why that is, but i'm not fighting the gamepad at all...

Seriously Most Wanted looks really good, though I long to see the NV team playing against them.

I love those kind of tourneys, wish the halo community would just be bigger and more teams would be there

these kind of people are stupid.

unfortunately they're highly common in any online fps with objective based modes mixed into team deathmatch modes.

my favorite [ie - least favorite] is CTF matches where people just refuse to focus on the flag.

like, i sprint cross map in a last ditch effort to stop an enemy cap, get the carrier and his mates one shot / absolute, and when i go to death cam think "luckily my teammates will be able to easily clean this up now", and they're all like waiting for power weapons to spawn or camping sneaky corners...
