I don't think the mission split (if true) is really a major issue. The gameplay is exactly the same and there's no reason why it'll make the story worse.
By derpface123 Go To PostOn the bright side, more Osiris means more Buck, and you can never have too much Buck.
Was just about to say if 343 can use Fillion the way Bungie did in Taken King we'll be in for a good time.
He's simply fantastic.
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 nonsenseI learned Claw back in the H3 days and didn't look back. The hardest part wasn't pressing the ABXY with the index. The hardest part for me was learning to shoot precisely with my aiming thumb on its side (instead of flat on the RS).
I don't want my hands to end up like this
In preparation for H5G, I've switched back to thumb for RS and ABXY in the MCC, because I'm getting an Elite and will be duping ABX (and also RS click) to the paddles, leaving only Y (switch weapons) default. I've also gone to using Universal Zoom & Shoot to better prepare me for the default H5G layout.
I'll be using something a lot like Wes's setup: Aim/Smart Scope - LT, Grenades - LB, Shoot, RT, Melee - RB, Crouch - Left Paddle 1, Reload/Action - Left Paddle 2, Jump/Clamber - Right Paddle 1, Thruster - Right Paddle 2.
I'm anxious to give it a try :)
By a zoojoo Go To Posthttp://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=182001863Without spoiling what the link said, there are a few of those which could be from Blue Team's perspective for an interesting mixup. Also, there's no confirmation that we might not get to control both teams within one mission, is there (at least, before reviewers confirm :P)?

Exactly. He's so good in TTK.
Nathan Fillion will be at that Halo 5 launch YT livestream event thing that runs from 6 PM to midnight on the 26th, so I might just have to watch it.
I only have one day I can take off for Halo 5 and I haven't decided whether I want to do Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday. I'm having such trouble deciding which day to take...
Tuesday:
PROS - It's the day the game comes out and the wait is agonizing already, getting any work done if I go in on Tuesday will be impossible because I will be so distracted.
CONS - Potential launch hiccups that days later in the week may not have, less total time to play than other days.
Wednesday:
PROS - More time to play because I come home on Tuesday, start playing, and then keep playing thru Wednesday. Hiccups are probably gone.
CONS - Waiting another day after launch to completely dig into the game.
Friday:
PROS - Most interrupted days of playing the game possible (3 day weekend after coming home on Thursday to start playing)
CONS - Longest wait from launch day to start seriously playing the game.

My friend has already decided to take Wednesday off, if that's any help.

By derpface123 Go To PostI'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.No, I totally agree, I still think it'll be awesome, I'm just disappointed, they've spent one game and 3 years hyping up the Chief's role in this game, and I just expected we'd spend more time as him. :/

While we may not play as him all that much in comparison, he still has a huge role in the plot.
By M0aHerder Go To PostTo be fair, the entire plot revolves around him, and we seemingly play as Blue Team during all of the major plot points. While we may not play as him all that much in comparison, he still has a huge role in the plot.
He is central to the story, whether we're playing as him or not. Osiris's missions obviously involve their hunt for the Chief and his team.
Another thing to consider is that Halo 5 will be the first time we really get a good view of Locke as a character, and we wouldn't want to be in a position where we're saying "I guess we won't know much about Locke until Halo 6 because so much of the game was just more Master Chief".
I don't see the team split being a huge deal before I play the game. I'm excited to see Blue Team in a game but Locke and Osiris could easily be better characters.
This is exactly what I knew was going to happen. It's totally a falsehood that we'd get equal time with Chief vs Shoehorned new "chief". The guy that said it was raiden vs Snake in MGS 2 was right.
Bollocks to that
Bollocks to that
I wonder how the rankings adjust to population sizes. Is it just like a bell curve and a certain percentage will always be bronze vs silver vs gold etc.?

Definitely do Wednesday. Launch day is always rocky no matter the game, especially one this big. I generally don't even bother with games right at midnight release because I know there will be issues. Personally I'm trading in my digital code from my CE for a physical copy, so I don't know how long it'll take Microsoft it send it to me. If I don't get it on Tuesday, oh well I can wait a day or two.
If that split is correct then frankie did not tell the truth when refuting the guy on GAF about Playtime as chief vs Locke.
the guy said 80% to 20% Locke to chief exactly like MGS2 and Frankie climbed in his ass.

I'm not concerned. So long as the story is good and game play is excellent, I'll be happy.
What is the point of that spoiler thread if there's still discussion of the campaign in this thread?
If that split is true I'm going to be pretty bummed out. Im sure it will be a cool campaign, but I want to play as Chief. They've made it sound like this is going to be a big story for him. Plus, fuckin BLUE TEAM.
I don't mind giving Locke a shot at becoming a good character and I like his team, but they aren't what I'm there for.

Ok time for my splash.
How many people here beat all the Lasos? Anyone else beat H2 SLASO?
Lastly who here is a H1/H2 vet? The only one I know of is Funknown and his love of the pistol(the best).

By FUNKNOWN iXi Go To PostWhat is the point of that spoiler thread if there's still discussion of the campaign in this thread?Well that's what I'm saying. I'd prefer it most campaign stuff stayed in the spoiler thread. The Osiris/Blue Team mission split is a pretty big detail imo. I know not everyone will be annoyed by / sensitive to the same stuff tho.
That was my bad I didn't think that was spoilery. I moved it to the spoiler thread but it got quoted already haha. I'll just not mention anything campaign related going forward, unless it's posted by 343i themselves, to make sure the absolute purists can still come here 👍
Im queuing up to join kittens in the next match, which means if your reading this kittens, wait for me!

By Fahzgoolin Go To PostHalo 5 is so much fun guys.A little over a week now :)
Yeah...
So, already had Tuesday - Friday off for Halo 5. I just found out I got Sunday the 25th off, yay! Monday the 26th is still pending....anxiety builds at having to spend time with my mom on Sunday w/out Monday off (love you momsy!)

Finding matches in the h4 playlist takes like 20sec. Finding matches in the Halo CE 4v4 playlist... Been waiting for about 2 minutes now and has only found one person lol.

By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostIf that split is correct then frankie did not tell the truth when refuting the guy on GAF about Playtime as chief vs Locke.Number of missions isn't the same as playtime. Osiris' missions seem to be a bit shorter (Swords of Sangheilios seems to be about 25 minutes on average, when the average should inside at least 30). I wouldn't surprised if each Blue Team mission was at least 40 minutes (and Blue Team is consistent with that).

And yes, please.
How did y'all go with your MCC throwdown customs? Did they work ok? Did party chat work?
I'm interested as we fired up MCC for the first time in a while two nights ago...things started ok, 6 in a party and BTB found a match in about 7mins, pretty good considering Aussie population is no where. Sandtrap 2 flag and quitters ruin it as we capped the first flag too easily. No luck finding any games after that with a party of 7. So we increase our party to 8 with a party chat of 12 for customs and the whole thing just shits itself for 45mins straight. Literally could not even load customs of H2A, what a fucking mess TBH. Chat dropped, game froze for one, restarts for everyone and the clusterfuck continued with every shit flavour variant going. We finally got into one custom and then appropriately left MCC behind after that. This was also after we all had the 733Mb patch at the beginning of the night too.
I wish I could uninstall multiplayer but keep the campaigns on the HDD. Fuck this Halo MP. Onward to Halo 5 already please.
