Is there any ETA on when we will get news about the "form" or whatever the process is to exchange the digital version of the Console LE game to a physical copy?

By jem Go To PostAll BTB maps are gunna be post launch DLC:In a way I don't mind, because making it DLC allows them to properly stature it as a niche between tight arena and warzone.

By YouNoMeDawg Go To PostI don't mind either because it worth getting 14 arena maps on the disc.That is indeed also a good point
By YouNoMeDawg Go To PostI don't mind either because it worth getting 14 arena maps on the disc.That's what I'm thinking.
This means we get a full blown arena experience with proper brb coming later. Rather than a half baked arena and btb at launch meaning we have to wait for DLC for either of them to be worthwhile.

WE NEED TO KNOW IF HALO 5 HAS THE ONE AND ONLY Mark V ARMOR IN IT.
By derpface123 Go To PostWE NEED TO KNOW IF HALO 5 HAS THE ONE AND ONLY Mark V ARMOR IN IT.This has been asked 3 times now (myself included), this is truly a critical question at this point
Agreed. ALSO MIX I HAVE ONE MORE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT QUESTION:
Will you be able to unlock the armors of the characters from the campaign (excluding Master Chief) in the multiplayer? Vale's armor and Buck's 'HELLJUMPER' armor in particular are really awesome and I would love to be able to use them.

By derpface123 Go To PostAgreed. ALSO MIX I HAVE ONE MORE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT QUESTION:Yes, you will be able to. I actually think that they're among the reasons why armor customization is more limited now. It allows for suits like Vale's to exist in multiplayer, where they would have required modification otherwise.

As for Mark V, while it's not confirmation at all, the armor was originally planned for Halo 4, and only got cut (alongside one or two others) when they ran out of space. Especially after the armor was added in DLC, I think it's safe to say that 343i understands the importance of it and will include it in the game. Though a definite answer would still be great.
Among those 14 Arena maps, does that include the forge variants we saw in the beta?
I'd also like to ask Frankie if H5 has Mark V. Please for the love of god bring that sexy beast back.

Ask him if you can bring the REQ scopes (just visually) into Arena, or if everyone has to use the same thing.
Got into a radar discussion with my friends....they have yet to tell me why it shouldn't be disabled in standard arena matchmaking - ie 4v4's FFA, ect.

By JBird20022 Go To PostThis is news? Thought we already knew journos pander to devs/pubs so they can get their hands on the game and it's merchandise earlyThis is the first that there's been an actual push by external journalists to bring this to light. Plus, attempting to bring this to light inside the community ended up getting a digital lynch-mob sicked on you.
You want increased competitiveness in halo, yet you only describe how you'd take advantage of no radar in the most handicap ways to benefit you.
Apparently making people git gud is a handicap these days.
Off-topic but does anyone else listen to The Protomen? They just released a new song, and it's absolutely fantastic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZnwojauZ7k

"Lacked" isn't strong enough of a term. I think integrity in video game journalism was shunted through an airlock and left to spin out endlessly in space.
There's going to be 15 DLC maps, 6 of which are Warzone and now BTB will take up a large portion of that, doesn't leave much room for Arena maps. Even if there are 14 arena maps at launch I'd like to see that pool grow to keep things fresh.
By Fahzgoolin Go To PostWhat's the reason behind implementing grenade hitmarkers into competitive Halo? Fahzgoolin is upset. Plz respond..
By M0aHerder Go To PostYes, you will be able to. I actually think that they're among the reasons why armor customization is more limited now. It allows for suits like Vale's to exist in multiplayer, where they would have required modification otherwise.Mk. V not being prioritized was a problem that hopefully won't happen again.

By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostThe fact that classic btb is shoved to "shortly" after launch is disgusting.Lol
I wouldn't say "disgusting", but it is quite disappointing. I can understand why they chose to hold it off until after launch, but I still feel sour about it. I love BTB so I'm biased, but Warzone better be fantastic, or I'm gonna shit a brick and come to Jem's house and do things...evil things...
Also NOBODY listens to Protomen? Man, ya'll are missing out. They're one of the best bands I've ever heard. It's a shame they're not that popular.

Agreed with Rokk, it's a little disappointing, but I wouldn't say "disgusting." 4v4 Arena and 12v12 Warzone will do for me at launch.

So the only way btb players can get their fix is to play this RNG mode. With uneven and game altering stuff. It's just stupid.

And considering the DLC for BTB is gonna be free, I have a tough time complaining. If Warzone doesn't do it for me, I'll switch over to Arena and start playing more when BTB gets added.
From a business standpoint it makes sense but at the same time they are doing to btb what infinity did to Halo.

It's just stupid.I think it's pretty obvious they just don't have the time to get them all out for launch.
It's fair enough they want to focus on their new mode rather than BTB, especially when it's so similar to BTB. A new mode is also gunna get far more hype at launch than standard btb.
I'd also much rather they did it this way than delaying the game.
By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostFrom a business standpoint it makes sense but at the same time they are doing to btb what infinity did to Halo.Uh... making it worse? Because if the alternatives are "slightly underbaked 4v4, BTB, and Warzone all at launch" and "fully baked 4v4 and Warzone with BTB later on," I'm pretty sure that the second option makes it better.

They can hire more people to do this shit. I'd rather they delay the game and have it be feature complete than having a Halo staple relegated to DLC. They have a bad track record with releasing games anyway so I think a delay would be beneficial to the overall product.
I'd rather have Halo 5 on October 27th and wait a few weeks for BTB than have the game entirely delayed to November and wait even longer just to play BTB day one. The wait is already painful enough.
Unless you're rolling as a party of 8, BTB has always been a crapshoot. Warzone and Arena are fine enough for launch, and at the very least BTB gives us something else to look forward to.
By FUNKNOWN iXi Go To PostUnless you're rolling as a party of 8, BTB has always been a crapshoot. Warzone and Arena are fine enough for launch, and at the very least BTB gives us something else to look forward to.
Exactly. Since BTB will be played on new maps, this means new maps shortly after launch which, if well-advertised, could incentivize people who stopped playing Halo 5 for a while to go play Call of Duty or Battlefront or whatever to come back and play Halo 5 again because of the new maps, and maybe when they come back they'll stay for longer.

Rather than having everything but BTB release on October 27th then have btb come out a month later?
Delaying the entire game for a single playlist seems overboard to me.
Warzone's skirmishes are so widespread, instanced and frequent that you could easily win a match for your team with only 3 or 4 competent players. I see it as Invasion-esque skunking / sweeping, just channeled in a positive and more accessible fashion. Depending on your tastes, Warzone skirmishes can potentially appease any player's ideal combat scenario, from campaign to multi to ff, which hasn't really been done before.
By jem Go To PostWho would benefit from the entire game being released a month later? Rather than having everything but BTB release on October 27th then have btb come out a month later?If you want a game with missing classic features then more power.
