I may be able to hop on and do Customs tonight around 10pm EST or a little later. We'll find out. Who should I friend request to get in on this if I'm available?

This is something I've been bummed about with Halo 5 too. Just having this massive iron sights/scope cover half the screen. This is what Booshka was saying earlier. Just to appease the CoD kids who'll never leave CoD and the moronic reviewers who need sprint and ADS for the 4 days they'll play before the leave the game and move on.
Unless they're getting rid of ADS and Sprint (and until i know how BTB works), i'm not interested. They are that big issues for me.
(Well, i'm not interested in paying for this anyway, or paying much. Used Xbone plus used game, perhaps? But that's over a year into future at very least, perhaps more.)

Halo 2 Anniversary cutscenes have some issues. The Elites are terribly thin, especially their shoulders, almost human-like in their proportions. Pretty sure original Halo 2 Elites had considerably wider shoulders. I take it these CGI animations are motion-captured? It would explain this new stature. Overall pretty minor thing but annoying nonetheless. There are also seemingly some timing issues with dialogue and events (Cortana starts saying "Largest fleet" almost before the fleet has appeared on Delta Halo outro), and Hood's hesitation before he says "Green Light..." in the Metropolis outro has vanished (this does subtly change the scene actually).
The cutscenes are good overall though, and the addition of Another Day at the Beach is wonderful.
Sometimes it's better to not give a timetable.
And here you give an example backing up my point.

This is actually the least of my concerns for Halo 5. IIRC I've even suggested a cosmetic ADS several times in the past. Though I do have to wonder why they don't just make all the scopes holographic. Like just have it appear when you zoom in and be somewhat transparent... so you avoid this.
The shoehorned RDS on the BR bothers me a lot.
So weekend?

Probably a smart idea. Others won't agree but the only reason to get Xbox One was for Halo, if it's not working, you don't really have much use for the console. I feel like doing the same, but as I'd already gotten it so discounted, and the fact that when it works, it's great, I'm going to hang onto it.
Hopefully see you back soon. At least after this, the game will be easy to find used on Craigslist or Gamestop after trade ins etc.
Pretty worrying that a lot of Halo fans are asking for refunds or returning the game, imagine what people new to the series are thinking/doing.

Getting matches real quick in Team Slayer in 2 mins hope it keeps up.
I actually quite like the look of the RDS on the BR. I wish they'd make it so it looked more integrated with the rifle rather than an attachment though.
I really like how it doesn't actually connect at the top.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable "you can customise your weapons" bomb for every other game mode that isn't the single Arena playlist at launch. I look at that BR and that's all I see here.
I actually like the RDS, too. I don't like it more then the scope, but I don't think it looks that bad.

SMG starts in Anniversary Slayer is the worst.

I really don't see the appeal of ADS. I understand why it was brought over to H5, but I really don't like it.
I like the look of Halo 5 BR, the RDS aside (prefer boxy scope). Also the sound isn't good.
The new sword (the special one?) is great looking as well, though it takes too much space on the screen.
The SMG looks really meh, but then so does the Halo 2 Anniversary one (the Halo 2 MP Anniversary SMG looks good).

My guess would be there are unlockable scope attachments that are just cosmetic. Maybe they will have a scope that makes it look like default Halo.
They developed Sleeping Dogs, and the HD port of Tomb Raider for the Xbone.

Slayerrrr on yyyy is the best experience Halo has to offerrrr.
That's what i figure. I mean, with ADS, they're a very logical extension to the armor customization, they're highly visible customization options.
As long as they're purely cosmetic, they don't matter unless some options offer better visibility compared to others.
I've been saying we should have cosmetic customisation of weapons for ages. The skins in 4 were awesome. Stuff like scopes, putting your emblem on the weapon etc. would be great.
Yeah, I am a bit worried they're going to drop that on us at some point. I don't think it would be that bad if it was only for social and non-competitive playlists. If they were to implement it, I'd only want side-grade customisation, no straight up improvements with no penalties.
I'd still rather they didn't.
Message/Look up either me (GT: Impala26) or Mix (GT: MIXMASTERCHLEF). Yes Mix's GT is spelled that way, lol.
And Jem, we'll try to arrange something this weekend earlier in the day so that UK folks can play together with stateside folks.
Even to long term Halo fans it's nothing to cheer about. My eyes registered one simple thing in that update, "over the next week". This seems like it's a much bigger problem than anticipated and it seems it'll easily go longer than this week and the next to fix. That's inexcusable.

I've been searching for thirty minutes with no results.
No kidding.
It should had been really hard on 343 to take out the only game in the collection that they originally developed :/
Ill do my best to stopwatch my matches and see how long it takes and record results and paste them here, after i get off work today.
Infact, if everyo e has a smartphone, you shod ha e a stop watch, try timing your matches and jot them down on paper, and paste the data here, wod be intereti g to see results, as well as your locale.

That shouldn't be surprising considering how deeply broken the game is.
lol, the game just kicked me to the dashboard as I was typing this

Awesome, it'll be really good to actually consistently play. I will warn you though, I am rusty.

Is the extra cinematic that hints at h5 at the end of H2A or H4?
H2A.
