Also for CTF: Stopped Short and Stealth Capture are pretty cool.

By derpface123 Go To PostMelee kills are inherently satisfying, especially since in Halo 5 they appear to have seriously dialed up the impact your melees have on enemies when you kill them with it. Their bodies get pushed back way more when you land a killing punch. I can't wait to punch some folks off the roof of Empire.Yeah, the melee kill itself is satisfying, but idk if I need a medal for it. I know when I got a melee kill, as opposed to a headshot where you might not be sure. I'm just being nitpicky though. It doesn't bother me.
By link1201 Go To PostReversal feels the best Imo especially now that I know you have to be knocked down to 75%. I had assumed you just needed to be shot first by the player you kill.No doubt. That one is going to feel good to get. It's like notifying you that you should teabag that guy.
By derpface123 Go To PostAnd in Halo 5 he won't get to play if he does it there.
Friendly fire is something competitive shooters have. CSGO has it, for example.
Yeah I know. It just warms my heart to play some Halo MP after a couple months away from it and immediately get betrayed several times for picking up a turret and subsequently thereafter lol
Ranking stuff looks awesome
Think I'll start rolling in h4 ranked to try and brush up before h5 gets here.

Yeah I was just deciding on a control scheme I want.

That's what I'll be doing this week. Gotta brush off the layers of dust and cobwebs lol.

By RowdyReverb Go To PostWhat buttons did you remap?
Based off Universal Zoom & Shoot in MCC settings, I remapped from there:
RB: melee
LB: grenades
RS: spartan abilities/equipment/etc
Bumper Jumper 4 life.
I use my index finger (claw?) when I want to use thruster pack. And thankfully I used TP in Halo 4 so i'm used to doing it quickly and efficiently. Only possible problem with bumper jumper is aiming ground pound. :/

By Poodlestrike Go To PostStopping people from playing Destiny?
That's not a bug, that's a feature.
New site, but some things never change...
:-P
I'd rather use the Halo 4 control scheme for H5 than Bumper Jumper and have to use that gross claw nonsense
I don't want my hands to end up like this

I respect the claw users. I couldn't ever play that way but it's definitely interesting and hats off to all the Zoidbergs out there.
By derpface123 Go To PostI'd rather use the Halo 4 control scheme for H5 than Bumper Jumper and have to use that gross claw nonsenseThere's absolutely zero need to claw while using BJ in Halo 5. Clawing is more of a preference thing, I'd say.
I don't want my hands to end up like this
By nillapuddin Go To Postnot like this..:(

I'll be on tonight. Looking forward to it!
Just got home with a Mixamp Pro TR of my own. Gave the GEN2 one I had to my wife since she can use it at her desk for both PC and Xbox; I just really needed the added ability to adjust the mix on the Stream Out port. Party chat was just coming out WAY too quiet on my GEN2 mixamp. :(
Setup should now be complete for streaming come the 27th.

Spending so much money on H5! Collector’s edition comes Tuesday; also bought the A40 Halo 5 headset, I needed a new headset so this is a good excuse. Was thinking about getting an Elite controller, but I still have my Scuf that I bought earlier this year, so I'll hold off on that.
By a zoojoo Go To Post:(
you are joking, though? that isn't the actual split?
By Wesleyshark Go To PostBased off Universal Zoom & Shoot in MCC settings, I remapped from there:Trying to prepare yourself for the Halo 5 default control scheme? Not a bad idea.

By kittens Go To PostGo for it, but it plays SO DIFFERENTLY. The reduction in aim assist alone makes it feel way harder.
I'm sure that is true, but I didn't feel like it was super foreign or anything during the beta. Making it harder to aim doesn't mean to me it is super different.
Also I'm super turned off of destiny pvp right now outside of inferno.
By derpface123 Go To Postyou are joking, though? that isn't the actual split?Judging by the mission descriptions it is, unless they share missions, that's it. I still think it'll be super fun and the story will be interesting, but my hype is pretty deflated.

So when does the button mapping thing go live for everyone... when the new UI drops officially?
I've definitely been looking for a way to unify my Halo and Destiny control schemes (and I'm frankly still kind of pissed that Bungie didn't include a Halo-like control scheme in the first place). That said, would the button mapping be universal or could you do it by game (or like switch from saved setups or something)?
And yes Deddy, #NoMotionTracker is most certainly applicable to games beyond Halo as well. Even the little CoD I played I often rolled the perk where you were invisible to UAV combined with suppressed weapons.

Oh is that the default?? I was just matching the controls to what I use in Destiny haha.

It's not just the motion tracker, it's the fact you don't spawn with special ammo and the special ammo crates only spawn as much as heavy does in normal modes. It's suddenly a game about shooting your guns instead of rushing with shotguns, although the new "all pulse rifles all the time" meta has made that quite a bit less interesting as well...

Never have to worry about special ammo crates ever haha.
Also...gobblerito time!
By kittens Go To PostHow is GP an issue? Melee is on RB…?
Aiming it requires you to hold RB and move the right thumbstick. So it requires too much dexterity for me :(
Also nooby networking question: I moved my Xbox and have 25% signal strength to a new location in my house. I have 78 download speed and 28 upload speed still. Will this affect online play in anyway?

By a zoojoo Go To PostJudging by the mission descriptions it is, unless they share missions, that's it. I still think it'll be super fun and the story will be interesting, but my hype is pretty deflated.
Where have you found all of the mission descriptions? And they explicitly state which team you're playing as? Just because it mentions a team in the mission description doesn't mean you play as them. 343 said it would be 50% Osiris 50% Blue Team, and 12 to 3 is 80% to 20%...
By zoabs Go To PostAiming it requires you to hold RB and move the right thumbstick. So it requires too much dexterity for me :(Up/Down speed don't really make that big a difference, ping and packet loss are the two big lag causers, and that Setup doesn't sound ideal.

You are a horrible person
Invective perk shouldn't work in pvp
But invective isn't nearly as bad as some shotguns
Also why is this site so bad on my iPhone

By Wesleyshark Go To PostOh is that the default?? I was just matching the controls to what I use in Destiny haha.Yeah, the only difference is that RS is crouch and B is thruster pack (at least that's how it was in the beta)
I just realized that it might suck to have thruster as a face button though. I liked having it on the shoulder button. That Elite controller looks more tempting every day.

Hmmm that'll be interesting. I'll have to play around with it to see if I should move thruster or not.
Ok thanks guys. Btw my packet loss is 0% and my latency is 72 ms. Still bad? Do I want a higher packet loss?
By zoabs Go To PostOk thanks guys. Btw my packet loss is 0% and my latency is 72 ms. Still bad? Do I want a higher packet loss?
You want packet loss at 0%. Latency, lower # the better. If you are on the east half of the US, 72ms is pretty normal.
By zoabs Go To PostOk thanks guys. Btw my packet loss is 0% and my latency is 72 ms. Still bad? Do I want a higher packet loss?lol 0% is what you want. If you have packet loss, your wifi transmission is losing data, which causes all sorts of nastiness. Join my party btw.

By Uncle Sensei Go To PostThe new CE 4v4 playlist would be my personal heaven if people would ACTUALLY PLAY TOWARD THE GODDAMN OBJECTIVEThe best playlist comes just over one week from Halo 5.. Time to binge!
I'm not reading the link you gave me, zoojoo (because it is so spoiler heavy) but a CTRL+F found Osiris 13 times, Blue Team 8 times, and Chief 3 times... I don't know what to make of it. I've heard vague but good things from people I've talked to who have played through the campaign themselves, and I don't think that a fifty-fifty split of Osiris and Chief is necessary for it to be a good campaign, but this doesn't line up with what they told us earlier this year.
On the bright side, more Osiris means more Buck, and you can never have too much Buck.
