The problem is once you have a decent MMR in Breakout, at this point in the game's life, you're matching teams (esp breakout teams), so action sack is likely my best shot.

Halo 5: Guardians |OT5| Is HaloGAF irrelevant now?

I just watched the Iron Giant for the first time (LTTP) a few months ago and cried my god damn eyes out. Such a good movie.
Also what happened to Poodlestrike? Hope it's not a perm.
Does it really matter if it's a perm? Considering there's like 5 or 6 alt accounts that post in this thread alone, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Dude got ban't in poligaf in a mass ban of folks advocating for killing/imprisoning/harassing people with "the wrong" views. Let's not talk about it.
So how about that Breakout?

I'm pretty sure that we will see the trailer for the new content update this Thursday at the game awards 2016 last year we got the Battle of Shadow and Light trailer there

That was fast. Can't wait to see this update.
It would be a great idea to drop that little bomba at The Game Awards, let's hope so :]

When and where?
Saw it on reddit.
It was followed by a bunch of post about how charging consumers for consuming things is anti-consumer
Edit: Sketch confirms Voices of War REQ Pack!

Im not understanding what this is. Is this just more announcer voices?
Here's his response to the rumor
Based on the wording, I doubt it'll be free. I guess there's still a chance that they'd be obtainable through req points but i doubt it
Yeah seems like with this update you can customize the announcer voices you hear.

Yep, i really hope they get rid of it in 6. It might slow the game down a tad as well.

I finally got this game. Picked up an Xbox on Black Friday along with pretty much every single great game for the system that I can't already play on PC.
And I'm... ambivalent
because this game is dope as fuck. I really like the pace of the multiplayer and the campaign has been loads of fun so far.
but, see, inbetween Halo 4 and Halo 5, I got myself a PC. Now I'm used to sort of having all of a game's actions, functions, whatever you'd call them at my fingertips. And playing Halo 5, I can see clearly that that was one of the best and more understated benefits of the restrained design of past Halo games.
In older Halo games, in order to feel like I had complete control over my character, what did I have to do?
Switch to Bumper Jumper.
In Halo 5, in order to feel like I have complete control over my character, what am I going to have to do?
Drop at least $120 on a controller with paddles on it so that I can use one of a billion new Spartan abilities without taking my thumb off the damn stick
I remember how everyone loved the evolution that this game's mechanics represented when it dropped, and I can see it! It's a solid solid core game! It's fantastic even. but there's just too much going on to map to a normal controller satisfactorily. Or maybe not, but I don't like any of the layouts that shipped with the game, that's for sure. Fishstick is the only one that I can really work with.
With all that said...
what's the cheapest way to pick up an elite controller these days? I mean, shit, I'm really half tempted to pick up a xim4 for single player campaigns on Xbox. I need more buttons for games like this period

Some pros use bumper jumper with a standard controller but they also claw. If you don't claw or use paddles there's definitely a slight disadvantage that you'll notice more and more as you face better opponents.
I mean shit, I use the Elite with all 4 paddles mapped. It took a bit to get comfortable but once you get the muscle memory down it's awesome. I can't imagine playing this game without it.

They kind of need to. the buzz/mention of halo has dwindled since the new releases of fps these past months.
let alone the last update was months ago too.
Now I am hopeful that it will be at the game awards

So we only have 92 members in the SC. Honestly, at this point if you have any friends that play the game and they don't have a SC just invite them even if they don't post on GAF. lol
Also, I just noticed they never took out the commendation for Assault wins which is pretty lame so we'll never get that one.

Does Grifball count as Assault?

It looks like it's just Assault. The others say Assault or Grifball but this one is just Assault:
TICK TICK BOOM
LEVEL 4/5
Win matches in Assault
This is not towards Achilles, thankfully.
Eh, variety is fun, especially if they take a page from Dota 2 and let Buck and Exuberant be snarky or have a lot of personality on top of the callouts.

Uhh is this old news? The article doesn't say much.
Edit: K not old news. Looks like Halo esports is getting a reality show.

First thing on the agenda: Cratos and Stellur are roommates.
They should push the PC version way more imo. There is a gap in online fps shooters and Halo is perfect to fill that gap. But we probably gonna see Halo 6 on PC. Must be.

Imagine how bad such a show will make 343 look when the servers malfunction again during an event.
I feel mean for saying that.
Yeah I'm hoping they push it more when the browser is out

I'd rather see more Sprint type shows to be honest. I know the secrecy component would make that hard but I hope we get more of that in the future. This "Hard Knocks" type show isn't something I'm into personally.

Bu..but muh k/d...
Fuuuuuuuck yes. Goodbye Steitzer/Palmer, hello Exuberant Witness.
It'd be nice if they'd ell the voices individually, but it's understandable why they'd want to bundle them up so I'm fine with it.

Ya that would be a nice option. Personally i would have preferred they put that effort in features and content that was more "necessary".
