I vaguely looks like it might functionally fall somewhere in between the classic rocket launcher and the pro pipe (looks like only a DIRECT hit from the projectiles will OHKO).... maybe?

So some scrubs voted for Halo 4 CTF in BTB. I dont have any loadouts made because fuck halo 4 and my team proceeds to start killing each other to grab sniper. I am the only one defending, other team gets our flag and scores in ~30 seconds.
I go to menu to see if I can make a loadout and I see the option to end the game for all players.
Did it #yolo

It gave me the option to, yeah. Right next to leave game.
I don't know if it actually ended the game for everybody but I ended up back at the menu with the menu it shows after a game is complete.

Alright Halo-GAF, answer me this - when do you realistically expect this game to be fully functional? I'm talking about the important stuff, not minor glitches.

That is what I was thinking, but it said for all players in the game. End the game for all players. Or however they had it.
After the H5 beta ends.

Is the classic Rocket launcher in H5G? I've actually stayed away from H5 and Halogaf for a while.
- they chose Halo 4 btb
- they were being scrubs
- treat yo self
- fuck 'em
Either just before or after the H5 beta ends. If the next update is as effective as this last one apparently was then I can definitely see it fixing a lot.

you cant say "not minor glitches" when those glitches often lead to other shit breaking.
so im to say the game will realistically never be completely fixed.
<3 damn right
Has yet to be confirmed
Yeah - does completely fixed mean everything actually works?
Or does completely fixed mean "exactly as you remember it"?

If they can make the next update as significant, then yeah I think we're getting really close.

FFS. I hope it stays.
So no early access code for H5 Beta, got it!

I tried the Halo 2 Anniversary playlist last night and... was actually able to play some games! It only took a few minutes and that's the first time it's happened to me since launch. I did terrible, but the graphics looked amazing, and playing on Warlock was very nostalgic. I tried BTB and it still didn't work at all though. :-/
Halo ce was never built to be played online. They transfered the shitty pc netcode and you had to lead shots a different amount every game.
Playing ce like this was a shitshow without mouse and keyboard. I LOVED playing halo ce, and leading shots was a skill in that community, but it feels sloppy with a controller.
I barely played CE mp on Xbox, if I did it wasn't competetive. But from what CE super fans were saying, using the pistol was hard and even pros couldn't land 3 shots every time.
It defintiely seems TOO easy to land shots to the point that the pistol is as OP as everyone said it was. Half the time you don't even have time to pull yours out before you're dead. I played match on prisoner and we were melting dudes.
That being said, this is preferable to the old way it played where the netcode meant firefights were a shitshow lottery.
Still need to play it at 2v2 and 3v3 but 4 v4 pistols is too much
Awesome!

I'll be streaming Halo 5 tomorrow at 3pm central on twitch.tv/LoneStarsLP. So excite.

Oh wow I didn't know Lenox was at 343 now, that's awesome.
Damn a lot of people are getting early access to the beta, super jealous.

From what I played last night, I was getting killed waaaaaaaay too fast. Like I've been 3-shotted plenty of times in CE, but it was to the point where I was listening for 3 shots to see if I was getting nailed by each one since I was dying so quick. And to be fair, some of my kills were very fast as well. It seemed much quicker than I remember through LAN (I won't count Xbox Connect since that was very hit or miss)
Ha! THAT I cannot do. Gotta keep it real.
I am jealous of your pitching staff though. It's going to be ridiculous for a good 5 years if they all stay healthy and pan out.
Yes, I'm very excited for this upcoming season.
Amazing series
It'll be really nice if they can do it.
I'm willing to bet that most of the people who played the beta will give the MCC another shot just to see of it's working. If they are greeted with dedicated servers and mostly working games the MCC may just get a second wind.
AGREED. The Halo Rocket Launcher is iconic. It's also wicked cool. They best not be getting rid of it. I don't care of there is a replacement. It better not be gone.
The things people here will do... smh

Maybe 343 will surprise us and the beta will be up for everyone tomorrow. :|
Looking forward to that beta gameplay tomorrow. Seriously though 343 has to have a beta for BTB or a special surprise waiting. I don't believe they're gonna just leave that until the full release.
Burnt toast is good for you right?

played some HCE last night and the hit detection actually seems way, way better. The quitting is still a bit upsetting, but overall it felt really good to finally get to play some HCE.

It'd be kind of cool if the big team battle maps in Halo 5 were locations from Halo's lore. Like "Battle of Reach." First encounter with Covenant on Installation 04 with a crashed Pillar of Autumn in the background, stuff like that. Though it wouldn't make much sense if just had Spartans vs. Elites.
Episode 15 of the Forward Unto Dawn Podcast is out. In this episode: Bioshock parallels, sympathetic Prophets, and plant chafing as we talk about Halo: Broken Circle. Show notes and listening options at forwarduntodawn.com/fudcast15. Youtube link at http://youtu.be/9mnAF33_d6A
major? it's done now. Minor, probably January 15th.
CE got a lovely update that has supposedly improved a lot for everyone. Game is also a bit better for general matchmaking.
Try your luck
Fuck sense that sounds awesome!
I'd love to fight at iconic battle sites in the games. We better damn well get Elites back in multiplayer for H5 too. I miss those guys and they've been in ever game except 4 (and ODST but that didn't really feature Spartans either).
Wut?
