As much as I like the idea of the 4 player co-op built into the story, I'm wondering if we'll miss just the solo Chief missions. Both from a gameplay standpoint along with story. I always liked the more intimate missions that had that vast scope of you being alone against crazy odds.
Just a thought; I'm bored.

Has there been any new word on ranking in the last week and a half? I've been away and want to be sure I hadn't missed anything.

By Mdot Go To Post…I know I will. I can also see myself getting annoyed at my ai teammates getting in the way. I hope they are smarter than the ai we've seen in the past.

Just that everything in Arena will be ranked, including BTB.
The era of Guests contaminating playlists is about to be over.
There are some days I regret eating a large double-pack burrito with bacon and shredded cheese.
Today was that day.

I think Gears showed that you can have friendly NPCs while still making you feel alone in a hostile world. Maybe with these big open campaign maps they'll have some instances where the team spreads out a bit or splits up to give you some space.

By thornXBL Go To PostJust that everything in Arena will be ranked, including BTB.I hadn't thought of that implication of removing split screen. No more quitters taking half your team with them.

Maybe with these big open campaign maps they'll have some instances where the team spreads out a bit or splits up to give you some space.That's a good example actually. They did scale back in some instances though when it was just you and one other guy. Would like to see that dynamic in 5, but we assume that won't happen with the way it's being toted.
As for the rankings, are they keeping the leagues from the beta (I forget the proper name for the Steel, Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc) or is it going to be number based?

Last we heard (and it's been a while), Semi Pro and Pro were getting renamed, but Iron through Onyx were staying the same.
My guess is Platinum and Diamond, or something.
By thornXBL Go To PostLast we heard (and it's been a while), Semi Pro and Pro were getting renamed, but Iron through Onyx were staying the same.Cool, thanks. Do we know if that is for each playlist or an overall rank?

Each playlist will have its own ranking
By Sikamikanico Go To PostBelushy - you sound fucking stoned lol.
EDIT: Actual feedback - good info, but it did sound like you were reading off a page - so you perhaps didn't sound as excited as you said you were. :)
I just have no idea how to project my voice or express more emotion. This is definitely going to be a learning process for me but I'm excited to continue and am thankful for Mix and the rest of the crew for giving me a chance.
Thank you for the feedback Sik
By Cliq Go To PostI posted this a few days ago. Please tell me you all took the time to watch it (especially you Funknown). Probably the best Halo Montage I've ever seen. So funny and some pretty good clips.Yup, saw it recently. Might be one of my favorite montages ever, at least in recent memory lol

It's simple, yet extremely clever. Just how I like my Halo games :]

By Rokklaggio Go To PostThere are some days I regret eating a large double-pack burrito with bacon and shredded cheese.
Today was that day.
I had a gobblerito today. What is a gobblerito you might ask?
Well.
It's a burrito. But it's packed with mashed potatoes, stuffing, turkey, corn, black beans and smothered with gravy and has cranberry sauce on the side.
It's a seasonal burrito at Mad Mex here in Pittsburgh (and surrounding areas) and it's my favorite thing ever haha.
By Wesleyshark Go To PostI had a gobblerito today.
I had one on my visit to Philly last fall. It was pretty great. No way I could finish one in a single sitting though; it was like the size of a plate-sized fat pillow

Oh man they are massive. All of Mad Mex's burritos see gigantic... But that one is packed with just a little extra haha. I somehow ate the whole thing at lunch today. Needless to say I won't be eating dinner.

Oh yeah baby. It's legit.
When you order pickup they come in handy little containers that double as giant dishes. Also, make sure to ask for extra gravy and cranberry sauce.

From Team Beyond about Spectator mode:
We can also live spectate Warzone matches
http://teambeyond.net/forum/topic/5443-halo-5-guardians-discussion/page-2252#entry572930
We can also live spectate Warzone matches
You can spectate your friends in matchmaking or customs, in Arena or Warzone. It's a live Theater save film that streams directly from the server, with all of the Theater controls & camera options (1st person, 3rd person, Free cam). You can rewind, fast forward, adjust playback speed, etc. Player outines can be toggled on or off (as they can in Theater now).
There is theoretically no limit to the number of clients that can spectate on any given session, so long as you are friends with one of the players. The is a delay of 15-30 seconds from the live gameplay because the server is writing out the save film as it simulates the session, streaming it out to attached clients which are then replaying the film from there. This delay is configurable to make it longer, but we figure that 15-30 seconds is sufficient to address concerns RE: cheating.
We'll keep augmenting spectator mode over time based on feedback from casters & TOs. Just getting it to work as a streamed save film in the cloud without any impact to server perf was a big engineering effort.

By belushy Go To PostFrom Team Beyond about Spectator mode:I really hope that the Halo Channel gets a big 2.0 update for the H5G release, and that this spectator mode (and maybe "Spartan Companies"?) is properly implemented into the suite of features the HC offers (and that it works well). I'm hopeful that the W10 X1 update will also help the HC be much less of the lagfest it currently is.

Oh shit! Cortana is "active" in the Xbox One preview.
Double tap the home button. Go to settings. Tap left. Tap up about five times. Then hit the A button. And Cortana will activate.
Cortana synced with my windows phone settings automatically. Pretty damn cool.
It's super buggy... But again... It's completely hidden so it's not supposed to be used lol.

Sounds awesome for spectator mode. I really hope that they have special pro matches and stuff that are featured events everyone can watch instead of just limiting it to your friends. Would be cool to see events scheduled on the main MP screen or whatever that you can join and view.
So, I like Star Wars.
I also don't mind Battlefield-type games. Nothing on Halo, but they got a charm of their own.
Battlefront is enormously... boring.
Oh well.

That would be insanely awesome. I also hope we can spectate games during actual tournaments (since they can't use LAN anyway...)

Picked up the Locke controller for my wife since her previous controller had her constantly looking at the sky, really nice. Definitely like what they did to the new bumpers, feels more solid too.
Will trade in my shitty sticking buttons day one controller for the MC version.

The new rank does look pretty good. Looks more like a tank and less like a mess of metal parts slapped together.
