I know they confirmed that there won't be warzone weapons in the campaign, but have they said if there will there be variants of the standard weapons like the BR with DMR scope?

We also saw a picture where Buck is holding the legendary silver pistol (though not the CE one) and we've seen Kelly use the shotgun with the Promethean attachment, so I don't know what they meant when they said Warzone weapons won't be in campaign. Frankie or Josh, please elaborate.

They might just mean that REQs aren't used
A breakdown of the sandboxes (campaign, matchmade multiplayer, and customs) would be great. Can I set an all Legendary weapons custom with the CE pistol and Rocket Launcher? These are the questions that need to be answered!
That leak back then showed 17 assassinations to unlock, so I'm assuming since one is default, there will be 18 total? I kind of want the backbreaker one. Go around like Bane breaking everyone's back.

The other thing I'd like to know is if multiple assassinations can be used at once (once unlocked), or if you can only have one equipped at a time. I honestly like it playing a random one better than having one play over and over again, of course you could change it out every game, but that would be a needless chore. It's ultimately not that big of a deal and I usually go for back smacks anyway.
The fact that it comes with the code is old news. The fact that the console comes with a different steelbook than the one in the Limited Edition, one that doesn't even have a slot for the disc, is unexpected.
But thanks bro...
I agree at first, but then I think about a glorious moment like getting a triple kill assassination with 3 of these slams in a row like some WWE shit, and im like.......nah.
Still, good points.

I got mine $10 off because of a recent Ebay deal. They were selling $60 GameStop Digital Gift Cards for $50. So I used the $60 GameStop Digital Gift Card on a $60 Xbox Gift Card and applied that to my account (GameStop didn't charge tax for it). I still had $4.80 in my account, so Halo 5 is all paid off... unfortunately the deal is over

I saved 20% off any new game with the best buy gamers club. idk if people still jumping on that glorious deal.
it was only $30 bucks for a 2 year membership.
I used some of my BB rewards and my LE went down to $70 after tax.

I got the standard edition for the low low price of $85 Canadian with tax. Go Canada.
Though I did save a lot pre-ordering other games like Destiny: TTK, Battlefront, Gears 4, Mass Effect Andromeda etc. Amazon Canada had a 30% off any game if you pre-ordered during E3 announce week. But I had credit that would've gone to waste from EBGames that I used towards H5 instead, plus I'd want to play at midnight after launch, not wait till morning or few days after for game to reach.

I like the idea of you can't enter another game until the game you quit out of finishes. Of course this would only apply to Arena since Warzone has drop in. If you quit out of an Arena match you should not be able to go into anything matchmade until that Arena match finishes.

I wish I could just play what ever map I like in the mode I enjoy instead of having to play thru numerous other maps/modes that I dont like.
I hate map rotation and the veto system. Give me a server browser over all others.

I don't ever see Halo having a server browser for Ranked Multiplayer as it completely eliminates skill based matches. I could see them implementing a Custom Games Browser, a feature that has been requested since Halo 2 (please Stinkles, get it patched in at the least).

I like that idea a lot. Seems very fair considering matches usually last between 8-12 minutes.
The only complication I see is for people who get disconnected. That would suck to have them wait due to a network error.

With everything running on dedis now, including customs, I can actually see this happening.

Well I broke down and did it. Ordered the digital version of the standard edition. Preloading now 😀 (I think it is, or is that just preorder bonus stuff?)
Side note: how much will that Fall of Reach animation cost?

Wait... the preload is available? Been waiting for an official announcement as I have seen a few people here and there say they had preloaded.

Not sure exactly. It started downloading stuff and one said preorder bonus but the other just said Halo 5 Guardians.

Ah, I see. I'll continue waiting for an official announcement before preordering digitally.

Does a preload show up in the download queu?
Download was very very small so unless it downloads in the background and doesnt show in the queu I'd say preloading hasnt started.

Someone on the Waypoint forums claims preload begins on the 20th.
Preload starts once the game is gold. It should be soon if not already.

I hear this term a lot but what does it mean for a game to "be gold"?
Whatever the developer/publisher deems to be their shipping product (not including the inevitable day one patch). It has to pass console certification (meaning it won't break the system or online services, QA isn't a part of that) first and once they get through that, the code is sent out to manufacturing and put up for digital downloads.

No that's when the huge 250 buck edition is going out so people who purchased it can preload since it comes with a digital copy. It's been up for a day or 2. You'll notice that your size is now I want to say 46.2GB. Before the preload it was like 123mb or something like that.
They haven't said but if you decide to buy the Warzone REQ Pack bundle that comes with the LE and CLE, it's $24.99 for 14 packs of what seems to be some of the better things.

Oh shit I didn't know about this, good find. I was only contemplating LE for the REQ bundle, looks like standard digital download is the way I'm going.
I saw the cards for the full game and the Warzone REQ bundle at Walmart today. If I wasn't getting the LCE, I was just going to do those together.
That's good to know. Looks like the packs may be priced at roughly $2 per pack. I'll be getting the LE.
Damn, they're packing everything halo 5 with req packs.

Whats does showing the file size mean? Mine has not preloaded anything but it does say 46.2GB like you said.

Probably getting ready for the preload to go live. I am guessing by the 7th (the latest) it will be up.
