How many maps are there for Arena and maps overall? ANy outdoor maps?

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

And with the low numbers currently, you're probably also occasionally seeing some Euro/Aussie folks being thrown onto the American datacenters purely because there aren't enough local players for them to be matched with.

Solid point.

Man, so jelly. Out of town for a conference (Reno, national science teachers) and I don't have WiFi to watch any of this. Argh. I spoke there will be plenty to catch up on Sunday and Monday, which should make the torture of waiting till 9pm less torturous. Jealous, so jealous.

Have the power weapons changed since our last look?

 

[sir_dany12]

I think it's "hold B" while sprinting to slide.

Do you know if it's possible to change to LS?

 

[Twilight Gap]

is refreshing to see fast menus and load times.

 

[BraXzy]

He, just seen NOKYARD on one of the streams, unfortunately getting popped by a BR xD

 

[etta]

Maybe, as there's a whole bunch of presets. Worse comes to worst, you can use the remapping tool on the XBO.

 

[The Flash]

Anyone playing Warzone?

Yeah 54.8GB should be the size after the patch but check your console and ISP bandwidth as a lot of people are having issues of the bandwidth not actually reflecting the 9GB patch while the file size has changed.

Oh joy. Can't check my usage at the moment. I'm horrified of Tuesday night being like last year and not even being able to play at midnight.

 

[Parmadillo Marshmallow]

Looks like I will be using Fishstick. Is that supposed to be a COD diss?

 

[matthieuC]

Just saw Tashi on a stream

these menus are sooooo good and that's a ridiculous amount of options. bravo 343.

I think a joke.

Curious to see if the cod advantage is what it appeared to be in the beta - the instant re-scope one descopped while holding LT. Probably my biggest lingering concern.

Just came to mention this hehe.

Melee and spartan charge together doesn't appeal me :/

So is it not worth buying the digital deluxe edition if I'm not interested in fall of reach for now? I assume Req cards can be purchased separately for same price.

The Warzone Req Bundle is really interesting. While you'll earn packs and points to buy packs, the Warzone Bundle has a higher amount of cards per pack and has a higher chance at Legendary items than gold packs. It's 2 packs a week for 7 weeks so it's a little spread out but if you're interested in some of the rarer gear, it might be the way to go.

That said, it's entirely not necessary.

GIF it nao!

Definitely will do it when the vod is up, I have no idea if there's a way to find something whilst the stream is still going?

I can't buy this Warzone Req bundle later? Also, will this pack have custom items for guns I can use in Arena?

I read that there's a separate option to buy the Premium Req packs for $25, but I couldn't find it. If it exists, you're right, you would be better off buying standard and the pack bundle.

Yes, the premium packs guarantee permanent Reqs that may be cosmetic items usable in Arena.

 

[BraXzy]

It'll apparantly be $25 later seperately. Not sure what the price of the digital deluxe vs standard in the US is.

If someone got the console for Xmas, would they still get all those Legendary packs that came out in the weeks prior?

 

[Sai]

You can, if I remember correctly, but you'll be paying more for it separately.

Alright I found an official source, definitely $25 seperate. (Underneath Warzone bundle pic)

"this Tashi dude is destroying, he's really really good" - stream dude lol

Is Eden brighter now or is there different Time of Day settings now?

 

[Illusive_Juan]

It will unlock skins you can use in Arena I believe, but you can't use a card to spawn with a shotgun in arena. That stuff is for warzone.

You can buy it separately on Amazon. I haven't seen the option to do so on the Dashboard.
Amazon has a digital code that will be emailed when the game releases. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0160EM6U6/?tag=neogaf0e-20

I'm not sure actually. They haven't said anything, or at least I haven't seen anything official from 343, about how that works with people who use the code for the bundle after the initial 7 week rollout. Maybe Stinkles can chime in on it.

Is there a way to completely get rid of the chat in Twitch when you're watching through the Xbox ?

Are you on the NXOE? It's broken with that right now and it's really annoying.

Oh ok. Yes, I am. Thank you. I was hoping it wasn't permanent.

It's the same app I have on PS4. On PS4 I just hit X until its full screen.

That's what it is! Finally. I thought I was going crazy.

 

[Twilight Gap]

I guess I should buy this digitally now since nobody put it on eBay >.>

 

[E92 M3]

Thank you folks!

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Can I haz Halo 5 now? Seriously cannot wait.

 

[GECK]

Plaza giving me the Turf feels

 

[wbarreda]

What is the best stream to watch, player wise?

 

[Twilight Gap]

Plaza giving me the Turf feels

looks 10x better than Turf

 

[singhr1]

The REQ packs seem kinda broken. Like 90% of the openings im seeing result in Needlers and Mongooses. Rarely have I seen a weapon skin, never yet seen an assassination or a stance.

 

[Kibbles]

Stream dude said he thinks pros are getting their copy tomorrow, so maybe online will be up for those of us who will have it already?

 

[op_ivy]

Just saw Tashi on a stream

Did he max out on the trip?

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Are they opening Bronze packs? The little I have seen have shown Armor being unlocked with a Silver Pack.

 

[Bsigg12]

Oh ok. Yes, I am. Thank you. I was hoping it wasn't permanent.

That's what it is! Finally. I thought I was going crazy.

Trying to watch Cobalt Streak and Lethal Frag do Binding of Isaac Rebirth runs has been super annoying because chat sticks like it is still in that small window mode. Make sure you guys report it since it's not on the Known Issue list for tonight's update. I've done like 5 reports on it because it is crazy frustrating seeing all the emotes.

I can't buy this Warzone Req bundle later? Also, will this pack have custom items for guns I can use in Arena?

You can, it's $24.99. It's available at retailers as well as directly on Live. Those packs will definitely have chances at the weapon skins that can be used in Arena.

 

[Victrix]

Please tell me swat is off on its own playlist and I can avoid it entirely?

 

[Lingitiz]

Please tell me swat is off on its own playlist and I can avoid it entirely?

Yes, it's just all in a grab bag for early players right now because the player count is low.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Just watched a Team SWAT match on Plaza (finally), map looks really, really good. Wish it was Team Slayer to get a better sense of the layout and power weapon spawns.

 

[Glass]

Can't wait to go round Plaza in theatre post match and grab some cool screenshots, so many cool details in there.

And Warzone is theatre-able right? Since it's so separate from everything else I'm suddenly wondering.
