I... kinda know where you're coming from? I guess. It does seem a little premature. But whatever the case, this is not the way to go about expressing your opinion about something that doesn't effect you in the least.

Halo.
I think it was localization concerns, not all languages are going to interpret 'v2' the same way. Dunno. I never really asked.
The descriptions for maps had no real rules, besides not copy pasting song lyrics or other copyrighted material as your description.
Maps also couldn't be named after well known copyrighted or trademarked things.
I actually had Cragmire named 'The Crag' after the Nickelodeon show for a while (as a reference to the rocky mountains and cliffs around the map, and the original map's name), then I changed it to 'Cragmire' to make it non-infringing and referencing being in a quagmire..
Makes zero sense to not allow v.1 v.2 v.3 etc on the end of a map name. Any regions that are confused would quickly learn via a simple google or just plain common sense.
Not having version numbers on maps is so frustrating for the entire player base.
A side note, for people who were pissed about the supplementary achievements for multiplayer: they're almost all apparently unlockable in custom games. So once multiplayer works I don't think you'll have to worry about much game-altering play (only a few like getting dual double kills in a single match specifically require matchmaking.)

I would totally be into playing customs tonight. Oh boy I really missed Halo Gaf, I haven't been around here for 2-3 years but I remember playing Halo: Reach Customs with HaloGaf back in the day and it was a blast, I think it was every Friday or Saturday Night. The MCC is a dream come true for HaloGaf custom's -The idea of playing a custom game on H1 then doing one in H2 and then H3 is almost to go to be true (literally I hope it works tonight)
Greenskull posted a new H5 video with his own gameplay he captured at Halofest.
Carnage report screen has some nice info.

Latest update:
"We are aware that last night's server side update has once again improved Matchmaking times for many users, while others are still seeing longer than expected times. We continue to investigate and will have a detailed update coming later this morning PST."
Ummm, OK. It works for some but not others and we'll get back to you. No info communication is not good communication.

"#weback" is so dorky. Stop.
Really goes to show the quality of these games that people are willing to put up with the buggy disaster of a launch.
I wonder with so many studios collaborating on the campaigns are we more likely to see faster campaign fixes. As in each studio fixing their respective ports being quicker than one studio fixing all Sp games?

That's really cool. Hit % is a great stat to see.
Just finished watching the video as well.
Halo 5 looks awesome.

This is a great video. Getting me a bit more excited for 5.
Okay, I am from "yea, looks alright" from the first few videos to "fuck, this looks amazing!".

You should make the floor out of grass, or colliseum walls. Too much concrete in there imo

Its pretty bad when my friends shut off MCC to play BF4 because "it works".
Adding some rocky terrain would make it more interesting. I wonder if replacing the outer walls with the huge rock faces would work? Throw in a few trees in the middle too!
Got a fuckin hard on right now. I killed the dude on elbow after also.

Oh hell, if bf4 is considered a working game then mcc must be considered still in the conceptual phase.

That looks pretty darn good. I was in the middle of whether or I liked it or not after the reveal but that made it look pretty good. Thanks for sharing.
Dude's name was "SwaggitySwagYOLO"
Wow
Great gameplay, those journos are so shit lol. ADS seems like a non-issue at this point, and that's coming from a very conservative Halo fan. Will withhold judgment until the beta, though. Auto weapons with zoom could be an issue, some of the AR gameplay I've seen looks nasty as fuck.
And they should just kill sprint. It's useless, it sucks, faster movement is better. Do it 343
The version number not being allowed seems arbitrary and pointless in the naming of the map. I mean seriously, what is the logical rationale behind that? It makes it endlessly frustrating to know what you're playing.
Even doubly frustrating when it's an on disc or otherwise official DLC map. Good luck ever recreating the Pit, Narrows, Guardian, Construct, etc. that you remember from matchmaking because there is absolutely zero chance you can find the files to download the latest iteration.
I see why it shouldn't be in the map name (because it's junk characters for the vast majority of players), but versions in metadata would definitely assist Forgers and players setting up custom games.

Really liking the H5 gameplay. Love the floating UT-style power weapons.
Interesting and informative video from Greenskull.
I 100% disagree with him on the ADS comment. Look at ADS when you're using the DMR. It's completely changed from "just like using the scope you're used to."
>"Why isn't 343/Microsoft communicating!? Anything would be better than being silent."
>"What the hell. Why is 343/Microsoft just saying they are working on things and investigating. Reporting nothing is bad."
Anniversary collection then.
Yeah it's weird. The group is dead but Karl keeps posting new threads in that group. I mean, it's like... GET OVER IT CORAL. THE GROUP IS DEAD. SHISHKA ISN'T COMING BACK.
I KNOW WHAT 2177 MEANS.
Let's Halo today.
This. Loved halo 3 when it came out...coming back to it is difficult. Both halo 2's feel great but halo 3 is so slow and the weapons are so inaccurate and unpowerful...i dunno
Had a really good game on The Pit though so i will probably get over it.

Blueprint times were the good times. I had lots of fun.
It's functionally exactly the same though.

Except your HUD is now cluttered with unneccesary crap because muh realism and cod you know.

It is especially frustrating given how much better our current scopr tech is than what is shown on the DMR. it makes no sense.

36 days ill I get an X1.
Between the B-roll footage and this video...
If only the game didn't have fucking Sprint or ADS (even in pseudo-ADS/scope form). Because it looks good otherwise. The set of abilities is, after some thinking, pretty neat (despite some initial misgivings), exactly the kind of thing i wanted from Halo: base Halo+something new and different. But Sprint and ADS.... they really kill any interest i have for Halo 5.
Sprint allows easy fleeing (despite the shield recharge penalty, i think, and the abilities are still tied to sprint so i'd imagine i can not avoid using it either) and is there to pander to COD/modern shooter players, and takes up a button that should be for Crouch and forces the grenade selection to D-pad, which is utterly terrible.
And ADS is utterly pointless. Why not just have the normal Halo-like scope? Because ADS is modern, ie it is pure pandering? In COD, BF, others, it is a trade-off between mobility and accuracy, a trade-off i really hate (and consequently i don't play those anymore) but it has purpose. In Halo 5, it just is, for the looks (and clutters the screen), and forces stupid new control scheme (especially with Sprint).
(Oh, and the new rocket(?) launcher looks boring, visually and functionally.)
I really worry what they've done to BTB too. 16 players with some lighter vehicles is perfection. Hell, Sprint alone hurts BTB quite a bit as it is. But, of course, we won't know this anytime soon, given that the beta will be limited to arena-type Halo.
Yeah, i'm repeating stuff. But i can't help it but be pissed off at the only thing interesting on Xbone to end up being... wrong.
I'd be very interested in continuing the story but gameplay takes precedence here.

Is the new book, Broken Circle. any good? The premise is interesting certainly.
Both are super cool. Definitely interested in some asymmetrical staged attack/defend scenarios. I'm hopeful Forgers can make a better Invasion than Invasion.
That 'Perfection' at the end somehow raised my hype boner.
