Seriously though Warlock is one of the worst Halo maps ever created. No idea how this mad top 6 for anniversary.
It only shines in FFAs or CTF . Ooh and multiteam and everyone has to be somewhat good.

Also Halo 3 had the best sniper. Halo 2somehow doesn't feel good now to me. I loved it back then

Same with sanctuary.

Whose idea was it to spawn players in a garden of tiny rocks with two snipers looking straight at them, and then put a copious amount of cover on the bridges for them to hide behind so you couldn't ping them, and THEN put rockets on the map?

Halo 5: shots fired, hit %, headshot %, damage dealt stats?!

^From this video.

So fucking hyped.

Did you hear about the ranking system? Supposedly 7 tiers, with the bottom 5 having 3 sub-tiers. Don't really like the smart scope/Sprint/ledge climbing stuff.

This game if it wasn't called Halo, would be super amazing. But I'd still rather have them build off of H2A type gameplay, than what H5 looks like. But I'm keeping an open mind for the beta.

I don't remember the spawns being this bad in halo 2 though. They're terrible on those two in anniversary mp.

I wasnt having any luck yesterday night after the playlists reduction either. I dont think I will see a difference till a patch specific for this issue.

I've been restarting every 5 minutes. I actually just got completely kicked to dashboard and the game crashed. That's a new one.
Not a new one for me happens A lot, another one is inability to invite someone or join them whn you both back out. The game is a steaming pos with bugs crashes and utter shit broken match making. Anyone getting the sound bugs, sometimes ads makes the sound disappear completely for a few seconds.

Got the Collection arriving today. Glad to see they're making small improvements and I think taking out some playlists for now is a smart move to concentrate the population.

My gamertag is itsjoncharles if you want to add me. Won't be playing multiplayer for a while though due to the multiplayer patch I'll need to download.

Good to see people finally posting the cut scenes of Halo 2 with its CGI boost! Saw some of it earlier, its awesome....about as close to a Halo movie we'll get!

...Well Nightfall has already been slated as being "sub-par" sci-fi, so maybe Forward Unto Dawn could come close, but even so with the Halo 2 cut scenes you feel no expenses have been spared ..its near dam photo-realistic quality!

First episode, man. And Blur cutscenes, as good as they are, are still clear CGI. I think both serve their purpose.
 
I really hope they at least attempt to patch the frame rate in the first game. The drops feel ridiculous...

I haven't even tried multiplayer as I'm afraid of getting even more frustrated with my purchase.

I just dont understand how they can actually release a game that's so non-functional. I want to give them time to fix it, but man, the experience is so hit or miss right now

welp went on the Halo forums.

That was a bloody mistake.

How on earth anyone is defending this game is absolutely unbelievable.

I'm a massive Halo fan but quite frankly this being released like this is an absolute crime.

Are there any planned updates to the matchmaking for today?

Yesterday night I received a message saying they would, "this morning", improve their servers again. Now I dont know if "this morning" was yesterdays morning (maybe the message delayed to display for me) or if its gonna be today.

Hopefully I will finally see any improvement, cause till now I cant say that.

I agree. It's no better than being scammed. I honestly don't know how the higher ups at 343 have the courage to show their faces after this. The thing is that once a couple of issues are fixed, people will forget and companies will go on to do the same thing all over again. Selling someone something that does not work should be considered a serious thing, but they get away with it because people want the game badly enough.

You know that episode of south park?

The one about Indiana jones and the crystal skull?

343 are doing that to Halo.
