jesus fuck.
and from what I understand the next game is even more TURNT UP
"franchise" is a fucking joke.

I'd say Black Ops 3 is a bit toned down compared to AW. It's more akin to Destiny. Regardless, I'm pretty done with that franchise - there's no depth.

What Genadier said. Custom game night, since we have 4 weeks left I thought it would be appropriate to feature each of the four halos until the launch of Halo 5.
Speaking of which if you want to save a seat this weekend send me an email with your HaloENT name and GT. I'll add you to the message list.

How late do you guys usually go and how many spots left? I'd be down but I've gotta find my mic...my X1 collected dust for a year after launch until MCC but I'm 99% sure it came with one packaged in :/

Eastern time and you may show up late but if we are full them we are full.
By derpface123 Go To PostYo belushy, there's a solid deal on Xbones on eBay today. Don't know how long it will last so be quick if this is appealing to you:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121770285907?rmvSB=true
$310 for an Xbone with digital code for MCC.
Thanks for the link, derp!

I don't get off until 12PM CST so unless you guys play extremely late I'll prolly miss it. Thanks though!
Hey dudes, I made a video covering all the news from today, let me know what you think! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDaAqqr-4h0
NOTE: THIS IS NOT RELATED TO THE SPOILER ANY RELATION TO THE SPOILER IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL.
I believe Halo 5 will begin in media res. I bet there's one more cutscene before the cinematic theyve shown. It might just be one shot, or like 10 seconds, but it will be there. And then the first half of the game or so will essentially be flashbacks. This is a crazy theory but it'd be pretty sweet to see the outcome and then you see how they got there. Like Uncharted 2 or many episodes of Breaking Bad or my favorite use of it, the second season of Hannibal. It's an effective story telling technique if done right starting the game with tension and giving the viewer/player questions of how that scene fits into the story.

By Mix Go To PostHey dudes, I made a video covering all the news from today, let me know what you think! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDaAqqr-4h0Solid roundup of the news.
I'm 80% sure 343 is fucking with us with that script spoiler. There's just no way they'd make the same mistake twice. I think it'll end up being in the game, but with some twist. Dream, hallucination, etc.
In related news, I think I'm over caring about spoilers with Halo. The way 343 has handled the fiction has made me care a lot less about it in general, though they seem to be doing A LOT of things right with Halo 5. I just really wish they could retcon the Prometheans out of existence.

I enjoy your commentary, but playing devils advocate: "What's wrong with this guy's footage? 30fps or less? I'm outta here."
lol
ps. thanks for making it, I didn't know some of that stuff
If you guys are interested I updated the spoiler thread with top half of the spoiler page. This part is not verified as I was not able to read it myself.

i wish they had made the ce magnum in time for launch and had it with the chiefs campaign loadout instead of the normal pistol. poor guy's stuck with the ar.

Do we know that it's not going to be in there for launch?
I was hoping that the CE magnum would be featured as a power weapon in Arena instead of a Rocket Launcher.
By Fahzgoolin Go To PostDo we know that it's not going to be in there for launch?josh on beyond said their being added post launch "as req content". his phrasing made me suspicious that their not going to be in arena/forge at all. he also said hes seen the "near final spnkr" and since the games already gone gold aparently that means it cant be in at launch

Just because the game has gone gold doesn't mean that the content is finalized.
By Invert Go To PostDay-One-Patchi suppose but i doubt they'll be adding new rec's day one. i believe i read somewhere first batch comes december.

I suspect the CE pistol will be in, no point in showing it off in the sprint that airs before release, and not having it in at release.
These are community favorite weapons, it only benefits them by getting them in the game ASAP.
By FUNKNOWN iXi Go To PostJoke's on us, it's the Halo 3 Magnum.Nah, it's the Halo 2 magnum without dual wielding.

I'm utterly disappointed at the no datacenter selection thing. I understand their logic but still after playing Titanfall I expected it to be the norm.
I don't get what the fuss is - you'd pick the one closest to you, naturally. So the game will do that for you.
You'll only play on one further away if there's no one to match up to you locally. Sounds like a good thing.

So the game will do that for you.I'm not interested in playing with 150ms ping, it simply isn't fun. I want 100% of my ranked matches to be with acceptable ping (under 50-100, depending on the game). I hope 343i's own system works well, but it probably won't, based on my experience with online games on consoles.

Where are you located that ping is such an issue? Might want to look into VPNs; it's possible the backbone infrastructure and routing and contributing factors and with the right VPN you might actually see an improvement.
By dwells Go To PostAssuming you're connected to the same dedicated server, ping time won't vary between games other than normal fluctuations of a millisecond or two.My ping is fine in all games that let me choose the server/region (20ms in CSGO, 25ms in BF4 etc.). The problem is that it won't connect to the nearest server, it will connect to one of the NA servers/NA hosts because matchmaking decides that playing with 150ms ping is acceptable. I see no reason to believe it won't be an issue in Halo 5 when the population drops.

One option would be to use your router to block the IP addresses/URLs of any data centers you don't want to play on. Assuming the game is coded decently, it should detect that they're unreachable and fall back to whatever's reachable. If you block all of them except the one you want to play on, it should force you onto that one.
If you do wind up running into problems when the game is released and need help doing this, let me know. Once I have a free weekend afternoon or something I'll see if I can sniff out the IPs for the Azure servers and step you through the process of configuring your router.

I'm going to be really sad when we don't have our epic stand off as chief and our only weapon is the M6D in all it's explosive glory.
By xXx_sasuke_xXx Go To Posthe also said hes seen the "near final spnkr" and since the games already gone gold aparently that means it cant be in at launch
I said I've seen the near final model for the SPNKR, which is just part of the weapon. Lots to do beyond just building the 3D (gameplay implementation/tuning, animation, UI, visual FX, audio, etc). Building a weapon takes a lot of work from many people across the team.
By tootsi666 Go To PostThe problem is that it won't connect to the nearest server, it will connect to one of the NA servers/NA hosts because matchmaking decides that playing with 150ms ping is acceptable.
It will pick the datacenter closest to you, which will be the lowest ping available. We have local datacenters set up around the globe and in the vast majority of cases that will mean sub-100ms ping (well below 100ms for most players), which is what we feel is the ceiling for "acceptable" latency.
Is there anyone here that works at BBY? If so I would really love it if you could get your hands on an extra preorder code for Halo 5. I will gladly get you a MS point card or something else to compensate you for your troubles. Please let me know if you could help a brotha out.

Didn't that one GameStop packet that was "leaked" (lol) say 343 plans on adding content every month? I'm sure the legendary rocket and magnum will be there by late November or Christmas in one of the req updates.
And seeing the above post from Josh and seeing how they want the iconic "flip", it's clearly not just a texture swap like most of the variants. Plus, it gives some people reasons to come back when the crazy Holiday gaming season comes into full swing and that's always a plus.
