By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostI just remember the Army in reach.
By Lord of Admirals Go To PostAir Force is a part of UNICOM. Technically the Sabre pilots were Air Force.
So they would be featured in the Long Night of Solace mission, wouldn't they? Before the actual takeoff sequence.
By GringoSuave89 Go To PostSo they would be featured in the Long Night of Solace mission, wouldn't they? Before the actual takeoff sequence.Before the take off? I don't know. It's hard to say with such similar BDUs for the entire military presence on Reach.

Very true
Cowboy Bebop was my favorite anime series. Frankie, tell me more of your love for Halo 3, its melting my cold bitch heart. Halo.
By GringoSuave89 Go To PostSo they would be featured in the Long Night of Solace mission, wouldn't they? Before the actual takeoff sequence.You could argue the base itself was garrisoned by Army personnel - the saber pilots which we know for sure are air force had slightly toned down BDUs, but we don't know if the whole airforce on Reach shared that sort of gear.
By FUNKNOWN iXi Go To PostHow do you weapon slide in Gears again?
Just get close to a piece of cover to slide into or be on cover and hold [A]+[X] together. Of course you have to be on the weapon too.
Played Gears for 2 1/2 hours, started playing it right as it unlocked. Time to get some sleep... a question though, has anyone else not gotten their golden weapon skin yet? I saw some people with it but after playing at least 10 matches I still don't have it.
Hoping for some kind of vidoc next week. Hopefully not about campaign, but I guess anything is good.
Yeah I think Brute Chopper NEEDS to be in the game. I mean just imagine taking off into the air with one (via lifts) and boosting into a Phaeton and obliterating the shit out of a forerunner gunship? Yup. Bad. Ass.

Cowboy Bebop was ace. That and Deathnote are my favorites.
By Deadly Cyclone Go To PostSo. Halo? Am I in the right place?
Yep. But due to the current drought of new information we've been off topic a bit lol
By Deadly Cyclone Go To PostSo. Halo? Am I in the right place?Nah, this is just another stealth Destiny OT.
By Poodlestrike Go To PostNah, this is just another stealth Destiny OT.Halo, Destiny, airing Ragnarok grievances. OT 1
By Wesleyshark Go To PostYep. But due to the current drought of new information we've been off topic a bit lol

edit: Found a new evolution of chief which includes anniversary models (if anyone interested)
(https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/3i7k7b/evolution_of_the_chief_updated_includes/)Since H2:A is the only one which doesn't use real time cinematic.
By FollowTheWind Go To PostFound this on /r/Halo (https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/3i5fax/i_used_my_shitty_photoshop_skills_to_make_a_halo/)
What does everyone think. I actually really like it, there is definitely an artistic change from Halo 4 to Halo 5, and imo it's more reminiscent of old Halos.
It's funny how many parallels you can draw in design philosophy between 2 /4 and 5 / 3.

Don't forget to smack that.. well, nevermind.

We have to see Brutes in Halo 5 right? It would be strange for them to be absent when this seems to be a more galaxy-wide conflict.
By J-Twelve Go To PostI figured Brute society was on the verge of imploding without Prophet guidance.
The homeworld is in shambles, but there are a handful of intelligent Brute leaders out there that have managed to unify various numbers of the population.
Chieftan Lydus runs a "master-pack" (roughly equivalent to governing a city-state) and attempted peace talks with the UNSC and Elites post-war, though (Escalation spoilers I guess) one of the Spartans defected and attempted to hold the delegates hostage. Ultimately the fate of the peace talks are left ambiguous, though Lydus does specify that the Brute homeworld's resources are already dwindling.
By Devolution Go To PostDid y'all miss me?
By J-Twelve Go To PostI figured Brute society was on the verge of imploding without Prophet guidance.
The Brute society as a whole is in absolute chaos as of the current, save for a few exceptions... Not sure if we'll see them in Halo 5 or not, given that large swaths of the game take place on Human and Elite worlds and assumingly Forerunner locales as well.
But at least we do have Halo Wars 2 to look forward to for more Brute action.

Cheers! It is indeed haha.

Imagine a Halo equivalent of Nazi zombies. Where you get wave after wave of grunts increasing in strength ripping apart your fortifications.
By J-Twelve Go To PostImagine if Nazi zombies was fun to play.WAW and Black Ops 1 had great nazi zombies.
How's everyone feeling about the new weapons? Just watched the gamescom tourneys and barely any of the pro's used the Plasma Caster. Also during the beta I found a lot of people skipping on the Hydra. I like that they're not ridiculously OP but I feel disappointed that pro's are specifically not picking up those weapons because they believe a BR+Shotty is a better choice.
I get balance is still in progress, but I'm hoping people aren't picking up those weapons because they're not used to them.

I liked the Hydra. It was used a lot in my games. I suspect it's primarily down to unfamiliarity - hopefully.
By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostCaster is gonna be the GL replacement.
Lol I've been thinking real hard, but wtf is a GL again?
edit: nvm Grenade Launcher
By J-Twelve Go To PostImagine if Nazi zombies was fun to play.It was slow paced repetitive garbage, never understood the love for the gametype.
By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostCaster is gonna be the GL replacement.I still want a Sticky Detonator + GL hybrid that you control when the shots detonate, unlike the Caster where it feels like a Concussion Rifle upgrade. Looks fun though.
By Fata1moose Go To PostIt was slow paced repetitive garbage, never understood the love for the gametype.Nazi Zombies is amazing. It needs to be played with good friends and a couple of beers though.
Crouching with your weapon trained on a doorway listening to hordes of zombies tear down your barricades was awesome.
By FUNKNOWN iXi Go To PostI still want a Sticky Detonator + GL hybrid that you control when the shots detonate, unlike the Chaster where it feels like a Concussion Rifle upgrade. Looks fun though.Iirc, you can already control the GL detonations.
By YourExWife Go To PostIirc, you can already control the GL detonations.You can. I'm saying you can't with the Plasma Caster, unlike the GL. I could have worded it better.
By FUNKNOWN iXi Go To PostYou can. I'm saying you can't with the Plasma Caster, unlike the GL. I could have worded it better.I mean have we seen all of the weapons yet? And the issue with the Caster is that it essentially fires plasma Grenades. But I agree that we should have a "dead man switch" to manually detonate the blueberry
I have faith in the balance team. SMG's and AR's seem way more tame compared to the beta. Loved watching the gamescom tourney and seeing all the pro's focus on their pistol. Make's AR starts fun (and to an extent I preferred it over BR starts).
'Caster is less a Grenade Launcher replacement and more a Brute Shot / Torque Bow hybrid. It's an interesting idea, certainly, though from the Invitational it's pretty clear that it needs balance tweaks; even when you say it picked up the performance was... less than great.
By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostI mean have we seen all of the weapons yet? And the issue with the Caster is that it essentially fires plasma Grenades. But I agree that we should have a "dead man switch" to manually detonate the blueberryJosh and Tim both described the Caster as a GL/SD hybrid IIRC, so I doubt any form of the GL or SD will be in the game despite that not being a totally accurate comparison.
Remote detonation is what makes the GL such a fun weapon to use, so hopefully the Caster will at least tickle that feeling. The Torque Bow comparison by Poodle was a good one, and that weapon is extremely satisfying to use so that makes me excited.
Hydra was weird, though if you were in an open area you could get a lock and aim up a little and rain down missiles of death like Doom in UMvC3.
Btw I've been lazy in keeping up with halo 5 (been too busy gawking at Phantom Pain) but does the shotgun have smart scope? I feel like it shouldn't/doesn't .

It just zooms in the reticle. Not exactly sure if it has any effect on range. Doesn't really seem to have any large advantage in the gamescom videos. Although the range on the shotgun as a whole needs to go down (as Josh Holme's already promised).
Going back to the topic of reimaginings had anyone thought to combine two maps together in forge? For example have half of one map (or even a quarter) like a mix of lockout and guardian? Maybe i don't know anything about map flow but I feel like that'd be an interesting thing to do with a forge map if it hasn't been properly done already....
Man, they need to show off some of these other legendary weapons in this news drought.
There better be a giant shiny M6D!

8 player FFA map. Each player spawns in one room at random. Each room is designed to a specific "theme," one desert, one Forerunner, one Covenant, and so on. Fairly small spaces. No power weapons on map. Each room also contains a number of teleporters; on the event that more than one player occupies a room, the teleporters shut down, forcing a fight to the death.

I'm so glad they made a Warzone map based on The Silent Cartographer. Can't wait to see screenshots of it that show more than a rocky corner and some Spartans.
