Someone seems to have found something called "Spartan Companies"

Its not from Gamecheat or Lord Zedd so I don't know if I can believe it to be honest. Never heard of Livven.

Guys, I made a new Halo 5 trailer that is also a tribute to Master Chief. If you want to relive all his adventures in few minutes before Halo 5, this is the video for you! Hope you enjoy and that the ending will hype you!

By jem Go To PostProbably similar to Destiny's clan system on Bungie.net.Man, I hope not, that'd be useless.
By Sikamikanico Go To PostOh please be in game clans with emblem designing and stuff like that.Not bad! I woulda used the H2A cutscenes, but that's just me.
Feelin' the hyyyyyyype
By -Ryn Go To PostIt's pretty cool but I don't know that I'd say it has taken Destiny's story from "utter dog shit" to "great". The grimoire cards are a good read but Destiny doesn't get points for that because it's never made use of them in the actual game :p
Until now anyway which is a nice improvement.
Well... I should clarify that when I say "great" it's on a scale of comparing TTK against the vanilla haha. Anything would have been an improvement, but they really did put some effort into changing things. House of Wolves was a good indication of them listening to the community, and I think TTK was already in production when they started to drop the vague and hub-blubbery of generic plot points to be explained later. I think whatever content they produce next will be even further integrated. Like I said, still lots of room for improvement but they are on the right track.

That would be boss.
By -Ryn Go To PostI remember a while back HaloGAF was having an interesting discussion about how it could be improved. I don't remember any of it.
While ramping up the damage / EMPing vehicles would be the obvious solution, I think it'd make the Pulse Grenade way more practical and dangerous if the damage was only slightly increased (making note to turn the ending explosion into something more lethal) and then reducing the horizontal and vertical movement speeds of anyone down to an eighth of their normal speeds (so 12.5%). It'd work on yourself, too - so while on one hand it'd kind of work like spider web in Minecraft where it slows enemies down on both axes, with proper timing you could also use it to withstand falls, catch enemies mid-mancannon on places like Haven and leave them for dead in the air, etc.
There appears to be a timer above a revived person; if that runs out do they die? So far I have yet to see any footage which shows that timer running out.
I hope that the Iron skull has an option to disable revives independent of restarting the mission. The game might be too easy otherwise...

I suspect that the reason we haven't seen it too many times is because people aren't posting footage of all the times they... y'know, die.
By J-Twelve Go To PostWhat does the splinter grenade do? Is it like the spike grenade?
Forms like small mines in the sphere of its detonation area for a few seconds, damaging anyone that approaches. Not like the spike grenade.
The splinter grenade is also an instant kill if you hit someone directly with it, according to Greenskull's commentated Coliseum CTF video.
By Blueblur1 Go To PostLook at the Spartan walking towards the player in this 3 second portion. It looks perfectly fine.
https://youtu.be/rOj0M5naC_g?t=3m27s
Now look at this Spartan behind the wall. His character model doesn't move as fluidly (as seen in the link above) until the player chases him around the corner and gets close to him.
https://youtu.be/rOj0M5naC_g?t=3m37s
I've noticed this in the campaign videos as well. I first noticed it with the Jackals.
Its more noticeable here with this blue Spartan at 9:00. He looks all jittery, then they cut the red guy running up the stairs and he's smooth
https://youtu.be/rOj0M5naC_g?t=9m
Frankie pls explain

Had to be done to make 60 fps happen.
Anyone care to play some Halo?

I'll never forget the telenade though. Would've been rad. Not that it was ever a grenade to begin with :(

As much as I was disappointed with the game for the past... forever, TTK is a major move in the right direction which they hopefully won't let up on.
By Wahrer Go To PostMuch cooler version of the Pulse grenadeOh yeaaaahhh. That sounds so much cooler (and more useful) I'm sad they didn't keep it in. We need an EMP/Gravity grenade. Love the "catch" effect you just described.

*Sigh* I do want to play some Halo.
But you're not even on right now. D:
By Fata1moose Go To Post*Sigh* I do want to play some Halo.Well then let's do it the best way. thebuttTOGETHER!!
By Granadier Go To PostI must be blind. Can't see shit.You! Get your ass on here and play Halo with us!!!
By singhr1 Go To PostForms like small mines in the sphere of its detonation area for a few seconds, damaging anyone that approaches. Not like the spike grenade.According to greenskull it is instakill on direct impact, instakill non-shielded targets if they walk into the mines too.
I'm not seeing whatever jitter you guys are saying you're seeing. So I must conclude either I'm stupid or you're all crazy.
I have chosen the latter.

By derpface123 Go To PostHalo 5 is basically Destiny but with better armor designs.
nope
Lol there is a medal for "Nadeshot" i.e. headshot someone after you grenade their shields out.

Yeah I'm watching the videos and staring at the enemy Spartans and I just don't see it. Stuff like that usually bugs the hell out of me too, so maybe we're the only sane ones here.
By singhr1 Go To PostLol there is a medal for "Nadeshot" i.e. headshot someone after you grenade their shields out.
Ahhhh, love it. Bring more medals like this if they nail the core of Halo.
It would be cool if there was an achievement for getting one of every single medal in the game, but a bunch of medals were secret and didn't appear in your stats until you got one for the first time. Nadeshot and Combat Evolved could be secret medals. The community would have to work together to figure out how to get all of the secret medals before anyone could 100% gamerscore Halo 5.

How am I supposed to have time to play Halo, Destiny and Elder Scrolls, sleep and watch the premiere of season 5 of Once Upon A Time when I get off at 9:15 pm PST tonight?
WHY SLEEP WHY?

By Fahzgoolin Go To PostI don't see it either.
It's probably just video problems on some people's end.
Its in almost every uploader videos. And people who actually played it at EGX complained of the same thing.

You and I both know that filthy casuals don't deserve 100% gamerscore completion.

If someone can provide more video examples that would be appreciated.
The main issue I have seen is that there seems to be a real lack of anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering.
I would like to see a video showing how the button mapping works in Halo 5 with the Elite controller. There's some questions I have about granular I can be with mapping. For example can I map GP to one button and Melee to another?
By Granadier Go To Postthey got me famWhat for?
By Poodlestrike Go To PostWhat for?Calling out the lack of outrage over frame drops in a Sony game.
Good games Ryn!

For example can I map GP to one button and Melee to another?Technically you'd map both to two separate buttons, as duplicate button mappings are allowed on the Elite. You'd just have to train yourself to use one button for a press-for-melee, and the other button a hold-to-gp.
The Elite's app, as of now, can't split multiple functions mapped to the same button, so that's as good as you can get. Unless, of course, the Halo Elite whatever-it-is is updated to have functionality splitting as well, but I seriously seriously doubt that .

Halo 5 might be the first game in the series where I play the MP before the campaign. It just looks so good.
I'm having a week off with a 3 day 4 man LAN at the end of it. We'll do the campaign together Legendary Co-op, hunt down all the skulls, and then hit Arena for the rest of said 72 hours. Can't wait.
I saw the Blue team opening cinematic...
