How embarrassing
I mean like a pop up notification. I'll be playing with someone and they'll add me without me realising. Then hours later I'll be at the dashboard and notice the notification
but of course at that time I have no idea who they are
Yah. First like five hours I was bored senseless because I had already grinded through all that stuff in the beta
Speaking of. Destiny feels... empty. Story is terribly weak. I don't know. I feel like I'm reading a children's book while playing

It's a very, very weak story. I mean, the core concepts of each plot line are fairly cool, but the presentation is astoundingly awful.
Seeing multiple people max level already has me glad I didn't buy at launch. Looks like it might make sense to wait for a used copy or GOTY edition.
Why are people surprised? Bungie has been presenting the campaign and <20 level progression as the game's intro.

Fuck having any sort of reachLo 4 style progression ranks.
Nothing like that is needed at all. Ffs that post came from WAYPOINT.

And yet, some people appreciate it. So long as it doesn't contaminate skill ranks, what's the problem?
What's wrong witch having that as an alternative rank style?
You could have it like 3 where each playlist had a skill based rank and your overall rank is like Reach or 4.

Or do it like halo 3 where you had skill based overall rank and skill based playlist rank.

Or have it where you have a skill based overall rank and an XP based "show" rank.
Seriously, not seeing the issue.
Ragnarok Flames

Because a "show" rank doesn't matter because no one gives a shit how long another player has played the game.
It comes down to people wanting shit from R/4. When those games caused halo to shit itself.

Except maybe some people do? Besides, it's a useful system for stuff like the bulk of cosmetic unlocks (though having some stuff tied to skill rank would be cool).
You know that 3 was part XP, right?

Armor Lock is Armor Lock, but max-level Bladedancer Super is Armor Key.

I'm beginning to think Chief may have a whole new suit of armor for 5.

Great, more changes that they could have explained in game get relegated to terrible art comics.

Kame pls. Don't give them ideas. If you wanna play metroid then do that.
You realise adding new mechanics isn't a bad thing...

Just give Chief fifty billion full suit upgrades in the campaign and let us choose the one we want to wear after clearing the campaign. Even Halo 4 managed to crank out the Rogue armor, which is hands-down the best self-contained (as in, doesn't need improved by mix-matching permutations) in the franchise.

You saying Master Chief won't walk out of a cryo chamber, into some narrow hallways, then into a vast open landscape to explore with nothing but a Pistol, AR, some grenades and a Warthog for Halo 5?
;[
Looking at your avatar... i have an idea. Let's give the Chief a dog with Mjolnir armor for Halo 5. I mean, it worked for CoD Ghosts (did it?).
So now you start with a pistol, assault rifle, grenades, Warthog, and a dog with power armor.
EDIT Oh and another thing. Scorpion Mark II, a transforming tank. Transforms into a mech, replacing the Mantis. Overpowered as ever.
I though it looked a bit ugly as the helmet looks out of place with the set I think.

Yeah because loadouts, sprint, screen shake, ordnance, perks, and hand holding waypoints were so well received and needed.

What do you mean?
I don't like it. I'm just sick (flu) and have odd ideas right now. I don't actually want to see either one in Halo...

Yeah that too, but lore wise GS says the type of armor MC uses is compared to a level 1 forerunner armor. H4 has shed some light on the type of armor they wore in the terminals. Curious how much more advanced humans can further evolve their tech. including upgrading Spartan armor.Bit late on that:
