I hope Halo 5 has better tools. H2A really needs more maps.
All of my btb games have been fine, other than I think my connection is shitty, but I think that is actually on my isp this time.

Halo 5 Guardians controllers seen at PAX East. No idea if custom or retail.
I believe they were custom made for PAX East for a giveaway.

Looks Star Wars-y to me.
Pretty cool, not so keen on the gloss finish though. I think a matte finish would have been better.
I hope so, too. Though if the Beta is anything to go by, the palette is still just a single color with some customized small stripes like we've had since Reach.
Oooooooo that sounds neato
These have me really interested in the H5 console.
I wonder if they'll focus on an RvB theme for it or try some abstract Forerunner jazz. Just please no more open/close and power up tunes that sound like a transformer with indigestion.

You had good seats. I spent the better part of two hours standing up. I was also behind people who were taller than me and had to constantly shift around to get a good view. Definitely a lot of fun though. First Halo event I've ever been too and I'd definitely go again if there was another one in Boston.
Awesome event. Will def go to one again if they have a boston event. Props to Tashi, bravo, and team

Not really surprised, soulless husks probably make for great marketing tools when they dedicate their existence to filling the emptiness inside with your products.
The Halo 1 AR is MA5B (name based on Marathon's MA-75B).
The Halo 1 pistol is M6D.
Hell if he was 18 (might even try to do it at 16+) and I was an MS executive I would hire that kid at min wage to just be a booth guy and hand out Xbox Lanyards
After HCS and PAX I got the Halo itch. Gonna hop on MCC for a bit. Anyone else wanna play?
Awesome event. Will def go to one again if they have a boston event. Props to Tashi, bravo, and team

I'm still having a lot of games crash, not limited to BTB. Sometimes many in a row. Every single time I play I still have at least two crashes.
Matchmaking works much faster after the patch, but the other problems still remain and are only more noticeable now that we can actually get matches.
Even if the game were released in this state it would be embarrassing. How far we have come. At least I can get games now.
Halo you played Halo CE BTB yet?
There are times where you can literally spawn directly in front of 4-5 enemy players.
Still a step up from CE, which seems like spawning breaks as soon as you go over 3v3 on most maps.

On Sidewinder I spawned and then a half second later a warthog spawned on top of me, killing me.

Alright Hazardous Metal, I'll give ya some attention.
disappoints you, how may I correct myself in becoming a better human bean?
Still though, my apologies for upsetting you somehow. Anyone who is friends with this dingus pliss give him/her a hug for me :]
I really don't care about being 100% serious 100% of the time during a match, especially when I'm streaming and having a good time with friends on Skype. If by somehow only getting 43 kills after a lazy match of Halo and red team teabagging my corpse several times
lol

Yes I have, those spawns are god awful. It's just I played alot of H2 back in the day, and I didn't remember the spawns being so bad. Hopefully 343 is now working on getting the in game stuff fixed. Especially with H2A. Sounds cut out, and on Stonetown the framerate dips big time when looking at the wheel.
Yeah. You can kinda sorta tell Halo 1's spawns were just adjusted until they "worked" good enough for split screen.
They were decent back then because of the party athmosphere and the fact that someone couldn't abuse them because they'd get punched in the arm for being dicks. You notice it a lot more when you aren't in that sort of setting and you're the only one playing on your screen.
Halo 3 was the first Halo with a spawn engine you could tune for good ones potentially. I remember Ghaleon made a better tuned Standoff for Halo 3 that never found it's way to matchmaking.
Reach is still my favorite for Halo spawn possibilities. Almost every issue in Reach could have been fixed with some spawn tweaks and work. And it was logical and distinct enough that I had fun writing posts like these where you could step through and explain why each spawn happened.
Halo 2 definitely did silly crap like spawning you amongst enemies in BTB Slayer. It was like they were trying to go for a spawn system in between modernism and Halo 1's when everyone just wanted to spawn safely and near their team.

One of the constant thorns in a Halo fan's side is how long it took/takes playlist changes when said changes are undeniable improvements.
