I hope Crossfire is the new H5 forge textures, objects, reflections etc. I could really see it being a Forge enabler and allowing upgrades in semi-terrain editing.

I can't even count how many hours I've wasted on this game trying to find matches. Might be time to go back and play Titanfall, a game that actually works.

That, Destiny, and PvZ have been what I've been doing. Will wait for Wed patch, but I think I'll be partying (RIP) in Iron Banner this weekend in Destinerino for that lvl 30 gear.

It's been fun, though, MCC has had me revisit games I've barely played and new ones.

Can someone explain to me how it is OK to remove crouch jumping just so we can have a silly ground pound? Is all the depth lost from the ability to crouch midair, crouch jumps, Gandhi hopping, jumping then crouching to fit through a window, offset by the ability to sprint towards the ground?

Crouch jumping was already gone in Halo 4.

Im not complaining about difficult achievements. I enjoy the challenge. The pacifist one is impossible solo. Lol let me know when you complete it and post a vid for proof.

I did it in 2 tries and did not kill a single enemy with a vehicle

The only hard part in the entire level is the gold elite

When pelican lands, turn around... Go up to area with hunters and find the one room, run out... Grab OS, drop down without hurting yourself... Go to second location... Race to the map room by going down as quickly as possible... On way back up, grab camo.

Then figure out how to deal with the gold elite... Because he is a jerk.

Well, I completed Halo 2's campaign, yet no achievements whatsoever.

At least I have GTA V to keep me distracted for a few weeks or so until 343i fixes this unholy mess.
 
The sad thing about sprint is that it's impossible to remove at this point or rather useless to even give an option to remove it because the maps have all been designed around sprint. Just look at how big Midship is now.

I was sitting in the dashboard and Halo MCC wasn't even open. A few minutes later I get a campaign achievement for getting 6k medals

In the same boat, but with DA:I instead.

Oh and classes.
 
Off topic, but I know we have some Jurassic Park fans here:

Halo 5 GAMEPLAY - [TRUTH] EXCLUSIVE Halo 5: Guardians Beta Gameplay

Make sure to watch it in 60fps :) Looks really awesome and the video shows (once more) that smart scope is just exactly what zoom ever was in Halo. I also like that the pistol seems to very strong again.

Hmm, this footage was nice.

I'm giving it a chance, I don't mind Halo trying to be fresh as long as the core remains. Although I absolutely hate the team chat and the dudebro pre and post game poses.
 
Ground pound seems to me like something that will either be gimped to uselessness, or just completely removed by the time of release.

It just doesn't seem to fit into a playstyle at all to me.

They said they added it because they wanted you to be able to do what Master Chief does in cut scenes, adding gameplay elements based on cutscenes has never gone wron--Oh.

You guys know what else looked good?

If that same firefight took place in Halo CE, over half of those shots would have been misses. Those generous hitboxes and bullet magnetism, sloppy garbage BR still gets the kill in H4.

Uh... not sure what you're getting at? We know way, way more about Halo 5 than we did about 4 this far out, and we've got a beta in December to boot.

This looked good because we didn't have the whole picture. We didn't know about armor abilities, support packages, tactical packages, ordnance drops, weapons spawns, etc.

Still, they do know how to work an audience.

Possibly the worst addition to Halo, ever.

Not really the same, considering there's a beta a year from release, and many more individuals have already had hands on time with it.

But no, go on, you have a point..

Well its already been pretty much confirmed to be a forge map. I don't know if they are going to innovate in forge as much I want, but if those are the quality of pieces we are getting this time around, then I should be okay with it. I do hope we get some form of terrain editing.

I just hope we can turn off the blue grid on top of all the pieces.

How much does greenskull get paid to shill for Smart Scope? He seemingly goes out of his way to say how much it's really the same past zoom.

If it's so much the exact same why change it?
 

I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

There's two possibilities.

Hipfire and ADS function identically in which case ADS is a pointless addition.

There is some benefit to ADS, meaning there is some penalty to hipfire, which is not the same as traditional zoom.

My point is that it's stupid to assume that what they've shown us is anything near the tinkering they've done. I don't believe for a second that the rest of the game will be anything close to resembling Halo given 343i's past. Arena sounds good on paper, but the fact that they're emphasising that it is "Arena" so much just worries me about everything else.

...

And wow at that update delay. It's not like I wanted to play multiplayer anyway. Oh wait. 343i should be ashamed at this shit. It's pathetic how broken this game is. The fact I can't even find a single online game over a week after launch is ridiculous

Inexcusable really, the whole thing is, but if you give a date when you've already fucked up, you should know you can hit it.
 
As an avid Halo multiplayer fan I can wait because I know how much I'll still enjoy this game. The part that disappoints me is losing out on launch population retention, word of mouth and new players into the fold etc. I'm sure the folks at 343i are even more disappointed. Coding, networking, schedules and managing outsourcing ain't easy. So many games these days have these issues. Perhaps things need to be simplified somewhat.

Release content over months, not all at once during launch.

I just hope we can turn off the blue grid on top of all the pieces.

Colouring those pieces and simple floor on/off toggles could do wonders. I'd like to see some procedural scaling stuff and basic terrain style editing too. The blue grid floor would lend itself to some awesome push/pull style 3D behaviours for modelling on the fly.

Of course it's delayed. Fucking embarrassing, goes to show how far they were from being in a releasable state last week.

Can't believe I will have not played a competitive, even multiplayer game with my 3 Halo buddies until the damn week after Thanksgiving. It's a complete joke of a launch and it isn't doing this franchise any favors.

Even though I am able to get into MP games on my own, it's not worth if if every single one has uneven teams, which leads to a lopsided game which leads to a fucking sooze-fest. Unbelievable.

The CU better be a fucking godsend.

/anger, ran out of patience

I would rather they update the community and get things right. Sure it's frustrating but what would be more frustrating is a game update that doesn't dramatically improve or stabilise things.

2 days. come on.

Ok? And then after the patch is released and it breaks something else or doesn't fix a majority of the problems like people are expecting it to?

"2 weeks, come on."

Slippery slope. Issues within one launch week, though unacceptable, are manageable in my opinion as it's something that plagues many games. My patience sort of runs out after that time.

Too bad I can't do anything about it, they have my money!
