By Fahzgoolin Go To PostDouble post, but I don't care.For sure dude.
I'm sorry mate. I'm in school when my copy arrives if that makes you feel any better =P
If we can we should definitely hit some co-op up if I'm available. I would like someone to do an Insane run with me. I don't want to deal with Dom's shenanigans of sheer stupidity while soloing ever again lol
I've never actually played any of the games other than the first so this game is a fantastic deal for me.
On the bright side Jem, by the time you get the game all of the matchmaking issues (if any) will be resolved.

By derpface123 Go To PostYeah, a sarcastic 'Whoops'. How do you think I missed the fact that Greenskull talks at the very beginning? It's on the ReadyUpLive channel too. I really need to stop being sarcastic on the internet, it doesn't work through text.Because you don't have good context. Not to mention, after the reaction to my Greenskull/Heckfu post, why would I think you were sarcastic?

Would you mind explaining why Heckfu is horrible? And why it's bad Greenskull did a video with him?

I personally think this is the best Halo, all up, as a package. Previously I'd have maybe said 3. Hard to say. This is a personal opinion, not a claim. Come at me.

Halo 5 looks great but it's not going to be the complete package if it doesn't have some damn good Forge content creation and content sharing capabilities. Don't let us down.
That said, I would be lying if I said this wasn't the most excited I've ever been for a Halo game. Cannot wait to play the campaign, and Warzone as well.
Speaking of Warzone, I hadn't seen these screenshots yet. They are of the new snowy Warzone map, March on Stormbreak.
Take a look:
I have always had a certain affinity for snow maps, especially big ones like Avalanche (Battlefield 4's snow maps are also good examples).

You have no idea how excited I am. My only wish was there was some more PvE focused content (not campaign or warzone) such as firefight. But frankly, everything already is worth my money and this is easily the Halo I am most excited for.
Have they changed the Warzone bases slightly so that you can spawn vehicles from every base? I swear at E3 you could only spawn vehicles in the garage and your home base.
At the start of this clip they capture an armoury and the announcer says they can spawn in vehicles...

Not certain but I'm pretty sure you can spawn vehicles from every base. Every Warzone video I watch, whenever they capture a base it's the same announcer lady saying "REQ stations at this base can now be used to call in weapons, vehicles, and power-ups."

Come at me.I don't think I've ever been this hyped for a Halo game, or perhaps it's been a while since I've been excited for a game in general. Everything I read about the campaign sounds like my bread and butter. Hope it delivers, I think it will. Halo CE is my favorite in the series, this could certainly challenge that from my experiences in the beta. We just need Mk V, a shiny pistol and Sidewinder.
By derpface123 Go To PostHalo 5 looks great but it's not going to be the complete package if it doesn't have some damn good Forge content creation and content sharing capabilities. Don't let us down.I see what you did there, anyway yeah I like snow maps as well. Sidewinder/Avalanche is the best BTB map in Halo's history. It blows the likes of Blood Gulch/Valhalla out of the water. #BringBackSidewinder

August 27th? Redmond, Washington? Special opportunity for Halo 5 Guardians Arena multiplayer?
Expect new Arena footage around there, folks. Hopefully we'll see some gameplay on some previously unrecorded maps like The Rig, Plaza, Coliseum to some extent... should be good.

Another factor is campaign and scale, something I think Halo 3 did incredibly well. But I believe you've talked before about the scale of the campaign and it's all sounding good so far...
By derpface123 Go To PostDouble quote because RoKKeR means business. I like it.Not even sure how I did that but you're damn right I do!
By Stinkles Go To PostI personally think this is the best Halo, all up, as a package. Previously I'd have maybe said 3. Hard to say. This is a personal opinion, not a claim. Come at me.I would agree from what we've gotten to play. Even without all the excellent changes you guys have announced I thought the beta was an even better arena multiplayer experience than I had even with Halo 2.
I'm just hoping for quality maps from the rest of the package (please no more remakes), a solid replayable campaign, timely BTB playlist, and a Warzone announcer voice pack for Hamish Beamish.

Amen.
Remakes can be good sometimes, but we don't want a Nuketown in Black Ops 2 situation, or worse yet, a Ragnarok in Halo 4 situation. All people EVER voted for in Halo 4 was Ragnarok if it was an option, and more often than not, it was.
How will we ever come to love new map designs if we just keep playing old ones?
By derpface123 Go To PostAmen.Right after they bring back Sidewinder I'll be okay with this.

I've felt this way ever since the beta ended. The old games were great in their day, but they have not aged well at all to me. The H5 beta was the most fun I've had in MP since the H3 glory days on GAF.
By LoopOfHenle Go To PostGet rid of voting. Hope 343 sticks with that direction.Yup, it comes off as a nice feature, but when people actually get to vote they make bad decisions, SMG starts, AR starts, Halo 3, etc...

I'm an definitely interested. Also any hints about forge would be appreciated.

I like AR starts in Halo 5. They might not have worked in previous Halo games but for whatever reason, I think they work well now. Also I'm a little attached to the idea of AR/pistol starts. It's classic Halo in my book.
The new mobility makes remakes of smaller maps much less rational. Like,m Lockout would be broken for example, without significant rethinking, to the point where it would basically be a new map.

Just remake Chiron Tl-34 already.

Midship works pretty well due to being very simple and open. I think you guys nailed it in updating an old map for the new hotness. Good to hear we likely won't be seeing any more remakes though. Bring on the new maps for me to fall in love with then we can talk about remaking those in Halo 6 haha.

Doesn't mean you WON'T ever see remakes, just means the traditional way of doing them verbatim (or not verbatim but similar a la Blackout) wouldn't make sense any more for smaller maps.

Stinkles, y u gotta do this tho.
I have high hopes. The beta was incredible. Gameplay was Halo perfection to me. The only thing that could stand in its way are the maps but The Rig looks like a blast so i'm not too worried. (And the beta maps minus Eden were much better than most of Halo 4's offerings already.)
On the topic of Reach, as I said before, Halo needs to develop its characters better. I was sad when Jorge and Emile died but that's it. And Emile was mainly because of his awesome helmet. When Carter and Kat died, I couldn't be more indifferent than I was. Also I felt the directing in Reach felt rushed. It's been a while since I've played it, but Kat and Carter's death felt so anticlimactic. And the game didn't feel as hopeless as I would've expected it to and I think that's largely because I wasn't emotionally invested. LOVED the ending though although once again the directing could've been better.
By Stinkles Go To PostDoesn't mean you WON'T ever see remakes, just means the traditional way of doing them verbatim (or not verbatim but similar a la Blackout) wouldn't make sense any more for smaller maps.
I'm all for radical re-imaginings of maps. Add a third tower on lockout or a ramp that goes from Blue 2 to BR 2 for all i care. Obviously if it's forgeable and removable for the people who would complain that'd be better, but yeah, go crazy when you do these "remakes-but-not-remakes" please.
By Fata1moose Go To PostYup, it comes off as a nice feature, but when people actually get to vote they make bad decisions, SMG starts, AR starts, Halo 3, etc…I dunno about "bad decisions" but you end up playing only a handful of maps. Even if the best maps are the most popular, and I'd argue this is generally true, you still miss out on variety. And if you disagree with the masses you are unlikely to play what you want, well... Ever. This seems to me to be even more of an issue with objective game types where I legitimately have fun in nearly all and love a good mix without splintering play lists into self contained playlists.
Has there been any mention of how the vehicles can be upgraded? I want my warthog to have reactive armor....well maybe I don't lol but would love to know what 343 are thinking in this regard.
By belushy Go To PostI want to see a Construct re-imagining…You misspelled colossus.
By LoopOfHenle Go To PostYou misspelled colossus.
That would be cool too. Though I think Colossus might work just fine in the Halo 5 sandbox as-is.
By FollowTheWind Go To PostCan we have a remake of Gemini please?Really!? Can you elaborate on why? Im not big on the communities favorite and least favorite maps, but I'd put Gemini at, or very near, my personal bottom. I don't think I ever had a fun time on that map - felt like a massive cluster fuck of no flow and chaos.
By JBird20022 Go To PostStinkles plz, you guys have to add a Countdown remake as DLCI enjoyed countdown, despite the sword and shotty camping. In for that, after colossus. And a boat load of new maps.
By JBird20022 Go To PostStinkles plz, you guys have to add a Countdown remake as DLC
Damn, yeah I want a Countdown remake too. I think that map would be fine as-is too.
Nail the dedis coop and dedis multi with quick and stable party/lobby systems and you've got me addicted. If objective gets new life I'll be a happier man than usual. If Forge/file sharing really takes a step up the game will last a looong time.
I know y'all have the mechanics down with H5 (the beta movement and gunplay was incredible while being the best evolution from Reach TU/H4 experience. You also have the story (if including terminals/books), cut-scenes, graphics, animations, audio (as long as mixing levels are drastically improved or customisable sliders), physics, medals, announcer, controls and more on lock down.
Very excited for H5. Also really enjoyed watching HCS1&2 from time to time and looking forward to the evolution of the $1Mil tournies.
As for H3 I have to disagree for current day, the netcode simply = lopsided games and gunplay. As for when H3 launched the maps, file share, theatre, objective/ranked games and forge were all top shelf. Halo 2 still takes the cake campaign and multiplayer wise.
Please for all that is sacred to Halo really lock down quitters with H5. Quitting and backing out during voting is a major blight on the experience and always has been in any Halo game version.

Not sure if you can talk about this, but the 15 new maps delivered by June 2016... are those all going to be new maps, or will some of them potentially be remakes of previous Halo maps? Just looking for some clarity.
