Halo | Just Dustin Echoes

I'll fuck with Warzone if it lets me be a total prick to Grunts during a multiplayer match.

I wonder if the AI will have in-fighting?

I sweat just thinking about all the FUN we'll be having with this game. So many improvements, I can't wait to play.

Who cares about fun? Think about the 60fps EXPERIENCE

Warzone looks top tier amounts of FUN.

For Warzone, can we group up with 23 friends or does it limit the first team to 12? I'm sure there isn't 24 of us, but it would be cool to just face each other sometimes. For bragging rights.

Team SLRP versus Team Salt

Would Warzone be a part of customs

We could definitely easily roll a 12 person team. Make a HaloENT clan, too.

Can't wait to try out the CE Pistol in Halo 5. Gun b gud.

I wonder if it would be possible for 343 to make a firefight style gametype with Warzone where there is one team of Spartans vs a bunch of AI...

Someone said that news broadcast is dated 2 years after the date of the Swords of Sanghelios intro.

Make of that what you will.

This would be such a relatively easy win for them (says he who has no idea). I seriously think that with the objective and REQ mechanics already in, and the size and range of the maps, and the toughness of the AI in Warzone (hooboy them hunters), you could create something spectacular in this way.

The way each video shows many Spartans taking down the Warden Eternal reminds me of how disappointing the public events are in Destiny.

Getting a group of people who were doing other things, not necessarily on the same team, converge to a single point to take down a boss and his posse. Shit hits the fan, explosions everywhere, teammates that are too close dying left and right.

It'd be like generator defense on crack! With those capture and defend objectives it would be soooo much fun to split up into 3 teams and go take each base, then go fight a boss if you manage to hold them long enough. Or you can try and hold as many as possible without losing all of the base generators. If necessary you could call for backup from your fellow Spartans or maybe (never happening) an ODST drop.

I'm still sad we don't spawn back in by dropping from the sky... would be so fucking cool especially after that opening for Osiris. Calling it for Halo 6. Warzone with destructible environments and high altitude drops.

It'd be interesting if they made it so you could revive each other in Warzone. Perhaps only in certain game modes. I gotta say I love it in Destiny.

You go to bed and Warzone shit comes out. ugh. But yea Warzone while nothing new certainly looks very addictive and fun. In fact I'd be willing to bet that it will cause weekends to be extremely fun ;). I do agree though it's not as original as some think. It really is Titanfall without the Titans. Course it looks like it's a well done Titanfall without Titans.

Interestingly I think what's unique about it is how it married all the ideas together and not the ideas themselves. I don't really k ow of another game that does it like Warzone.

I don't find them disappointing lately- the vanilla ones got stale eventually, but the new ones and periodic ones are great! Also... My friends and I set challenges for ourselves, such as "only use x type of weapon" or "melee only" etc lol. And now that swords are mainstays.....

Court of Oryx is also a good time. Easy to spend a good hour just doing those over and over and trying to one up each other in total godmode orb generation lol.

Oh cool, glad they improved it in TTK. I haven't had a chance to try it much since it came out.

Nothing quite like a warsat dropping while the Hive and Fallen are at war as you're trying to kill Taken lieutenants and zealots in Skywatch. It's a perfect storm moment.

By AllIsOneIsNone Go To PostLooks fun as shit…but is it just me or does the lighting in Apex seem really over-saturated or something?

The internet, three years ago: "God Halo 4 is so desaturated and pastel-colored. Where are my vibrant colors?"

Nnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

The cycle continues.

Are the initial bases the same as the last map? Layout looks extremely familiar

Yeah, officially not feeling the hype on Warzone. I don't like the randomness of 12 on 12 with all these AI things running about, dudes spawning with rockets or tanks or shield regens, people just running all over the place to random bases or fighting AI or just shooting each other. BTB wasn't as serious as the traditional 4v4, but it still worked on the same rules. There were a certain amount of power weapons the map to keep track of, there were only two tanks at the most, and with the size of the player counts and the maps made it more focused. Plus, they always had one objective everybody went after. There were two flags, go get them. We got a bomb, lets plant it. There are 3 territories on the map, they're not housed inside a bunch of bases where people can pick-up their Ultra Shotguns and Banshees, try to cap 2 out of 3 of those. Even the Slayer variants had more order, once again due to the size of the map, limited power weapons/vehicles, and player count.

This is gonna be alright for the casuals fresh off of Witcher 3 who think Halo is like...warthogs and shit flying everywhere and random "fun" just exploding from every corner, but personally...meh. If anything can happen and you can go do anything, then nothing matters and its just a bunch of random bullshit you don't get invested in.

Get me a release date on traditional BTB, lyterboy/stinkles.

I agree with JC. It will be occasionally fun, but no matter how casual and silly the fun is, randomness doesn't make for a good experience for my personality. It will quickly devolve into frustration and the enemies are massive bullet sponges.

That's exactly why most of people, including myself, are excited to play warzone. To each their own.

It's funny because as chaotic and random Warzone looks I feel like it's more of a team gametype than all other gametypes. A well coordinated team can really own that mode. It's going to take time for everyone to catch on all the different ways you can win.

By edymont Go To PostThat's exactly why most of people, including myself, are excited to play warzone. To each their own.

Yep. Something new and fresh and fun.

A group of randoms will most likely fail miserably against a well coordinated team of at least 5 or 6. Lots of strategy and tactics are in play- lots of layers. Multiple ways to win. Will be interesting to jump into a match with all randoms on both sides- it's going to be a glorious zoo in the first week or two as everyone figures things out.

Well coordinated teams generally won't exist in Warzone. Those kinds of players will be in Team Slayer or CTF.

The casual randies will move on to African-American Cops 3 before the mode gets too competitive anyway.

the casuals will play Warzone until Battlefront drops, which is just an entire game of this concept on a larger scale, with a more popular license, especially pre-The Force Awakens.

That's when 343 should drop BTB, for all the Halo players still around

Agreed. I'm not feeling the whole Warzone thing.

I see Warzone as a big team Destiny PvP gametype with Halo gameplay. It could go either way for me. I think I'll really like getting new stuff and playing with buddies for a while, then the frustration of imbalanced shit may start to shine through. Either way it looks good to me.

Any of you nerds have TTK on PS4? Just got it, gonna be raid ready by Friday. Me and my buddy wanna try the raid. PSN ID: vinftw22

I echo this statement.

How about both? Warzone is fun.

Sup randies.

Gungoose is in Halo 5?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Warzone looks like a fun dicking around romp with the family

Warzone footage from Raid on Apex 7 looks fun. I enjoy the aesthetic more than the E3 one.

Hope Halo 5 has a steady population because I don't know how much I'll get to play it this year.

looks like the gravity hammer got cut, greenskull got what looks like a final build to look through all the rec cards and its not there, while everything else is. rip griffball players. i see the gungoose and rocket hog made it in tho. one of my main complaints about 4 was the lack of vehicles. looks like all the vehicles/weapons from 4 are back except the sticky detonator, grav hammer and concussion rifle (which i wont really miss tbh)

Apparently Grifball has been confirmed as in...

The Binary rifle is now like a focus rifle, it has two shots, not sure if it's a one bullet kill if you have it on them for the duration of its firing sequence.

We know there's a legendary SPNKR in the game, yet it wasn't in the video.

Yeah they definitely haven't shown us everything. There is got to be some surprises left when the game launches.

By Silky Go To PostWould Warzone be a part of customs

It exists in a separate sub-menu but has its own lobby to play customs, e.g. Firefight.

By Fahzgoolin Go To PostYeah they definitely haven't shown us everything. There is got to be some surprises left when the game launches.

I need a new enemy type .

It's not a final build at all, there are several weapons that are missing, as well as a Forge mode in the main menu.

The Battle Rifle looks so much better with the scope. Wish that they would just replace the default with the scoped BR for Arena.

I just cannot stand the amount of pop in and shadow flickering and abrupt LOD changes to the textures. My eyes are constantly darting all over the screen because of it. It's really distracting. =(

Really hope they smooth out those issues...it's a big problem for my eyes. Some levels of Halo 2 Anniversary had the same problem.

Anyone want to talk about how terrifying the Forerunner weapons are? Especially the Warzone modifications to them?

Man, Warzone looks so great. Probably will play that the vast majority of the time unless I have a team on to pull me away and actually have to try.

Can't wait for this to bleed Into Arena in Halo 6.

By Fata1moose Go To PostWe know there's a legendary SPNKR in the game, yet it wasn't in the video.

josh might have spoken too soon in that blog post, or it could be coming later. i hope if they do add new weapons/legendary versions later that they'll be in arena/forge too. not much good having the spnkr in the game if you can only use it once in a blue moon in warzone.
