Halo 5 Multiplayer Coverage! (no campaign spoilers)

Never mind about Warzone. There should never be 3 scorpions on the other team in one match. That's just ridiculous. The last Gamesager match, it was 3 scorpions, a wraith and gauss hog for the other team.

I said this before the game came out that they should have done in Cod4 did with helicopters where only a certain amount can be on the field at one time and you can't call you're in until one have been blown up.
 
Yeah so the kind people that will change elevators in my house just dropped a little bomb. Appearently the network cables are drawn in the elevator shaft so while they are changing the elevator I can expect to loose connection som of the time. For 5 weeks ... starting next week.

Oh lord. I won't get my H5 on will I? The timing!

Well well ... such is life. Hold me my brothers and sisters.
 
I'm Northeastm0nk, with a zero. I just tried playing some MP to get ready for H5. MCC is like being hit with all the hot garbage from a decade ago, but it looks very nice. I signed up for one years worth of XBL.

I have zero friends on XBL.

There's not a lot to say besides it's Halo. I gotta wonder how improved H5's MP is.

Yeah, 1 scorpion is tolerable. But 3, plus a wraith, plus Gauss at one time was just crazy.

Is there recorded footage of that? Despite sounding incredibly lopsided, I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see the spectacle.

I'm not sure. I was watching Gamesager's stream. He kept saying the other team saved all their vehicle reqs to do this. But yeah definitely the scorpions went on a tear.

So no limit on the number of vehicles?
That's great to me, I've always wanted to see super chaotic massive insane vehicle battle.
Click to expand...

I'm sure there is some kind of limit but definitely not just 1 type of heavy vehicle. It's one thing to see super chaotic vehicle battles, another to see one team whip out 5 crazy unbeatable vehicles while the other team can only try spartan lasers to try and take them out. I foresee a lot of strategy this way as well. Imagine taking 4 banshee to the sky to rain down bombs.
 
Wait, we don't know that the game is region locked do we? We know one guy in Australia couldn't play with his mates in the US because his ping was too high. There could be a lot of reasons for his ping being too high, the obvious reason being his internet isn't all that great.

We have no idea what ping time 343 determine being "too high" so until you try it for yourself I wouldn't get your knickers in a twist about "region locking" just yet, as unless I've missed something, I don't think region locking even exists.

Haven't they said 100 ms is the limit for matchmaking? Maybe if you have good enough internet you could still play with people here in the US.

it seems this is the mp thread for now..do we have any information about classic maps being added?
Click to expand...

Just curious, but what's your understanding of classic maps? Remakes of good Halo maps?

I don't think you will see those from 343i, but I'm sure people will do them with Forge.
 
Lol, all I'm seeing is loads of deaths. But I must say, it looks hard. Very easy to get caught off guard or get teamed up on.

There is no way 100ms is the hard limit, al least pre-release. I've seen finnish Semi-Pro's get matched with NA players on Arena. That's easily over 100ms ping. Keep in mind that matchmaking algorithms could be changed at launch.

It still is in pre-released state so players with pro skills are being matched up with normal players, and I believe that's why there are like 5 scorpions for one team on the map at the same time.

If players have similar skill then maybe both teams can have five scorpions. Or one team has scorpion first and another team manage to counter it with, say, 2 phaetons or some other cool strategies. The possibility is unimaginable.

I thought I will stick with Arena, but after watching so many hilarious plays happening in warzone, I'm now more than interested to try it out.

p.s. h0lmb0m's stream makes warzone seems super fun. Recommend watching it if he's online.

wtf? God I hope that that is just pre-release to ensure that people get games..

Or, the NA players could be east coast and pinging the datacentre in Ireland at less than 100ms same as the Finns....?

What am I reading loads of tanks in warzone?? lol that mode is going to be a blast
 
Watching Prod1gyX selling his 92 mongooses and it's so stupid.
Should have put in group delete options or at least a "sell all" button.

Edit: Wording problem.
 
Yeah the lack of 'sell lots' seems like a really obvious ui oversight

Looking at the various control schemes, I don't see any way I'm going to be comfortable playing this without a scuf/elite :/

yes, like zanzibar or fan favourites.

do them with forge is cute, but can I use them then for competitive matchmaking?
honestly don't know. I think not
 
I didn't think I would say it, but this may be the first time I'm visually underwhelmed by the multiplayer maps. They just all look so similar and 'bland', with the exception of Plaza, raid on apex 7 Warzone.

They seem to play well, but I don't know, I look at them and just see the same map with different lighting and some slightly different routes, probably due to the fact there are remixes.

I feel like we need new maps and not remakes. And please no more Zanzibar. lol

There's always a chance of a Forge playlist, so they might put some fan made remakes in it.

I don't see the issue... That team saved up their Energy to unleash these weapons at the same time... That means that up until that point the other team was playing with the advantage, Requisitioning superior weapons...

Managing budget is simply part of the games strategy...

Yep. A well coordinated team will save their REQs so they can unleash a full scale vehicular assault.
