There's a leak/rumour that an achievement with the next DLC includes camping in one spot for 60 seconds. I give up.

Camo AA + Boltshot + Corner of map

9.8/10. Feels like Halo

 

[TheOddOne]

Did somebody check it already on the Waypoint app?

 

[Gui_PT]

I'll go check on da xbawx

 

[Vico]

Did somebody check it already on the Waypoint app?

Yep (from the french waypoint app - Credits to Sympheria):

 

[TheOddOne]

Ewwwwwwwwwwwww. 343 stalp.

 

[J10]

I think Halo is in the wrong hands. Please give it back.

 

[m23]

At this point, I think 343 are just trying to make us not play the game, I have no idea.

 

[Gui_PT]

 

[TheOddOne]

You should finish Spartan Ops, Crimson.

 

[Blueblur1]

343 Industries. Ha ha ha.

 

[Omni]

GIF is surprisingly relevant. 343 tries to kill an already weakened Halo (portrayed by Master Chief).

 

[FyreWulff]

You're forgetting the other one that requires you to intentionally grief your own team by deploying the EMP on your side of the map

look forward to that one every time new DLC owners show up in a match.

 

[The Henery]

Please, please be true

Either they're trolling or they're completely out of touch with reality

 

[squidhands]

Wow, that is...I don't even know how to qualify how terrible that is.

 

[Tawpgun]

Embarrassing.

 

[FyreWulff]

Either they're trolling or they're completely out of touch with reality

"We've learned our lesson on achievements that influence how the game is played. We've rectified the issue by outright directing how the game is played, so there's no confusion"

 

[J10]

Either they're trolling or they're completely out of touch with reality

They'd never admit to either one.

 

[Gui_PT]

I have actually finished all missions, I don't know what the hell is up with that

"We've learned our lesson on achievements that influence how the game is played. We've rectified the issue by outright directing how the game is played, so there's no confusion"

Everytime I think of 343 nowadays this song comes to mind

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

That achievement is real? What the fuck 343. I mean, I defend a lot of shit but an achievement for camping? I think that's where the line is drawn...

I hope it's fake.

It's on Waypoint so I highly doubt it. And the other ones are pretty bad too, especially the one fyrew..authoritative shark mentioned.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Does an intern make the achievements? Frank, Ellis, pls. Crowdsource the achievements if you need to.

 

[The Henery]

No no seriously it must be fake. Like, if I worked for 343 I'd be ashamed if it was real

 

[Gui_PT]

I remember when we used to make fun of Shishka

 

[TheOddOne]

Congrats on the emmy nomination, 343.

Now make gud game.

 

[squidhands]

As I mentioned in the other thread, the more egregious problem for players is the map that 343 built/ commissioned that has two switches that fundamentally change any gametype to SWAT (or worse; their promo video showed a player just dropping dead after the switch was flipped). Unbelievable.

Frankie SWAT O connor's in charge of the entire franchise m80.

 

[willow ve]

Our only hope is the achievements are glitched and can be done in split screen. Because otherwise fuck this noise. Why would anyone ever green light these achievements? Ever.

I keep telling people this is why Halo 5 is not going to have shields as a base player trait. Watch shields end up being a fucking perk next game.

You absolutely have to get used to it.

Zero hope for Halo 5 at this point. Won't be fooled by a Conan BR GIF either. Never again. I'll probably still buy the game at some point, but used of course. This once great franchise deserves none of my money anymore.

That would explain the broken Chief armor in the E3 video. Halo 5 will be not a fight to the finish, but to the next shield recharge station.

Also they need to be more clear this time before release. There have to be proper vidocs, proper explanation. A BETA!!!

If they will say in the Multiplayer reveal Armor Mods, Loadouts and the infinity system are back.... well goodbye Halo

Paid DLC specialisation that lets you hold a third weapon (reflective of your own personal playstyle). Stay crouched for 90 seconds while staring at snipe spawn for an auto-overshield (you've earned it). Grenade throw jammer AA. Jump jammer AA. Smoke grenades. ADS which gives you literal auto-aim - "in tests only very new and inexperienced players chose to use it, better players don't need it". Pro's invited to play and use it exclusively.

I hope you rub xxjuicesxx nose in your soon-to-be new job at 343, good sir.

 

[m23]

I wonder how Bravo feels about this achievement, he must have fought for this not to be in the game.

Bravo's dead and locked in 343's basement.

 

[Steelyuhas]

I've got to watch the opening titles, I don't remember them.

 

[squidhands]

Also weird that 343 retconned the look of Chief's armor in Halo 4, but didn't do it for FUD.












yeah, I'm in a non-work mode today.

This gif makes me miss good Halo. RIP.

He's wearing the MK IV in FuD. I still think that they should have went with the Halo Wars model - which looks much, much cooler. Wouldn't make sense to have him wear the new armour (He's wearing MK VI in H2/3/4)

Why can't I download Spartan Assault yet? When I go to games it shows up but the link to buy it goes nowhere.

You were expecting the release of something Halo to go smoothly? Where have you been the past nine months?

I took from the opening cinematic of Halo 4 that all Spartans looked like Chief at the time of the initial Covenant invasion. Maybe I misunderstood what I was looking at.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I still am on a "wait and see" basis for Halo 5. I like the campaigns enough to buy the game still and I have had fun with Halo 4 despite it not being a "true" Halo game, so I will likely have 5 at launch. It's just disappointing that Halo has almost turned into two franchises, "Old Halo" and "New Halo." New Halo isn't bad as a game if you disassociate it from the Halo name, it's well made for sure, but it's not classic Halo.

Make Halo 5 "old Halo" please.

 

[Omni]

I think we came to the conclusion that 343i were just using the same models out of convenience for the pre-rendered stuff. With the exception of the Brutes, all the models used were from Halo 4

Doesn't even show up for me. (I think I'm in the correct menu?)

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Spartan Assault shows up for me, but clicking on it takes me to the app store where it doesn't show up.

Yeah, click on it and hit "Play." That takes me to the app store where the game doesn't show up.
