... I had been wanting to switch to WP later this year to get Cortana, since I have a Band and SP3...
Would this be enough for me to stay with Android?
Any MS peeps know?
By Adam Blade Go To Post… I had been wanting to switch to WP later this year to get Cortana, since I have a Band and SP3…I've been playing with it on my android tablet and it's literally the exact same experience as I get on my Lumia 1520. I moved away from iOS before Siri came into existence, but I've used Google Now quite a bit, and I honestly like Cortana better. I'll definitely not shy from saying that Google Now has more features currently, but I like the way Cortana is designed and it's a more personable interface all around.

I'm not sure if it would or should be the deciding factor for you to switch to WP, but the way Cortana operates and the way its designed will give you a good idea of what WP10 will be like.
If you're going to switch to WP, wait until the Fall. There's going to be a couple higher end WPs that support the Continuum interface- which basically turns your WP into a fully functional PC when connected to an external display.
By Stinkles Go To PostWe will be there with a small presence to support GrifballHub and some other stuff, and I will personally be there, but yeah, no big presence this year because of timing (E3, Gamescon, ChinaJoy etc).
Awesome!
Just bought a PS4 for final fantasy 10 :P got Arkham Knight, destiny and bloodborne aswell. Hoping those + some WoW pvp will hold me until October. Been spending so much money to try to fill the gaps since the beta.
By punchrock Go To PostThat original map containing other previous maps would have been interesting but I totally understand why it was cut.
BUT:
"We drew quite a bit of inspiration from vehicle combat and battles on BTB experiences like" … "Paradiso"
oh…
oh no
Not gonna lie, this is a pretty sweet concept.
Okay maybe not this particular one, but the idea of a massive map subdivided by remakes of classic maps is pretty damn cool. You'd just have to be careful about choosing maps that would compliment each other enough so they'd work together like that.
If no RTX then when do we see forge?
Also really happy the H5 prelease tournies are starting! It will be our first real taste of h5 competitive. Hopefully they throw Fathom and maybe the Remix of it in the map pool, so we don't just see the same beta maps again.

It shows they did toy with the idea to have Warzone maps that could be segmented to BTB (such as Zanzibar), but ultimately didn't do it. Hopefully when they do BTB the maps will be dedicated to the mode, looking at Halo Online gameplay, Avalanche (or Diamonback) works really well with sprint, I think a Sidewinder re-make would me amazing in Halo 5's sandbox.

WP is going full Windows 10 OS, but it won't be in July. Rumors also say that Microsoft may drop making more phones in the future, and focus on getting their apps on Android and iOS devices. Honestly, you're missing nothing yet.
I have the Win10 preview for phones, and it's nice and all, but nothing groundbreaking. It'll all come down to Microsoft beefing up the Store post-10 release.

I like WP, my 1520 has been pretty handy and the os Is pretty snappy for the most part.
I'm having this internal debate on whether to jump in on the Halo5 collectors edition. 250 is pretty steep but part of me just wants to own it.

They are significantly reducing the number of phones they release every year. It'll be more akin to how they do things with the Surface, but with a a tiny bit more variety.
I'm really looking forward to upgrading from my 1520 to one of the Continuum devices.

Finally playing the ODST add-on for the MCC. Man... I forgot how great this looked, for the time it was released.

October is rumored to be the last. Just what I've heard from enough Windows Phone sites.
By GringoSuave89 Go To PostOctober is rumored to be the last. Just what I've heard from enough Windows Phone sites.They won't be the last. They're still going to do 2-4 phones a year as first party releases. 3rd party OEMs will be up to the OEMs themselves.
By Wesleyshark Go To PostFinally playing the ODST add-on for the MCC. Man… I forgot how great this looked, for the time it was released.I agree, it does look really good! Played through the first level when it released. I need to get cracking on my 1-4 play through, but I'm at the mercy of what the group wants to play

Spliced from the Halo Lore Thread:
I've been wondering some things about the Rubicon. There's some major plot yawns with what happened there (aside from the Forerunner Trilogy being possible thanks to them finding the fragment of 343GS in the first place.) I'd love to see it show up in-game, but I'd also think a novel about that adventure, or at least containing, would be cool as well. I just want to know where he went and if he found whom he was looking for there.
"The single team that survived,' the monitor informed her, "returned to the Rubicon with an artifact- another powerful intelligence- and something that proved unforgiving to its entire crew. It took that ship far away from here, and abandoning this human to me. That is what your people do. They pledge loyalty and then they break it. And that is what they have done to you."
Curious about the part I put in bold- as I was re-reading that bit, the line stuck out to me. They returned to the Rubicon with an artifact, which was the fragment of 343GS, but the "and something" bit could imply they brought two things on board? Or perhaps it's just worded oddly, and he was merely referencing their level of ignorance in bringing such a powerful AI on board their ship.
“You and I are brothers in many ways, not least in that we faced the Didact before, and face him now, and perhaps ever after. This is combat eternal, enmity unslaked, unified by only one thing: our love for the elusive Lifeshaper. Without her, humans would have been extinguished many times over. Both I and the Didact love her to this day. Some say she is dead, that she died on Earth. But that is demonstrably untrue. One of you almost certainly carries Vinnevra and Riser’s old spirits within. Only the Lifeshaper can find them and coax my friends back to life. And after a hundred thousand years of exploration and study… I know where to find her.”
It's cool to see the disconnect here, even within such an advanced construct as 343GS. He's clearly speaking more so as Chakas than he is 343GS, and he thinks that the awakened geas within the modern humans, once they are found, will bring back Riser and Vinnevra- quite the contrary as this would awaken the long-dormant seeds of IsoDidact and Chant-To-Green, who are both direct splices of the UrDidact and the Librarian themsevles, and who are both still out there, somewhere beyond the spiral arms of our galaxy.
Curious as to where the Librarian has been in-hiding all of this time, or what 343GS will actually discover when he arrives at where she thinks she is.
And there might be another breadcrumb added via Saint's Testimony but I'm still holding back from reading any lengthy excerpts haha.
This is so gloriously complex. I know it brings out mixed reactions, but the way it's all woven together has been done quite brilliantly. Can't wait to see how this all plays out.

So I'm encountering this glitch in the MCC where games just randomly ends. Anyone else seeing this? And far more laggy games these last few days as well.
By Tha Robbertster Go To PostSo I'm encountering this glitch in the MCC where games just randomly ends. Anyone else seeing this? And far more laggy games these last few days as well.I would get those somewhat regularly before I stopped playing. As for laggy games, most of my matches weren't on dedicated servers, so it was always a tossup if it would be laggy or not.
By Tha Robbertster Go To PostSo I'm encountering this glitch in the MCC where games just randomly ends. Anyone else seeing this? And far more laggy games these last few days as well.That has happened to me a few times- it would kick the entire party to the menu for no reason or warning- but that was a handful of months ago when I was still trying to play multiplayer- I haven't touched MP in a while so I guess that's still happening?
By Tha Robbertster Go To PostSo I'm encountering this glitch in the MCC where games just randomly ends. Anyone else seeing this? And far more laggy games these last few days as well.I used to get that fairly frequently but I haven't encountered it for a few weeks now.
The only problems I get now is the ocassional laggy game, I don't know whether that's because I'm connecting to a US dedicated server or a P2P connection though.
I've completed Silent Cartographer on Legendatry twice now, in 8 minutes and 6 minutes. Though the par time achievement will not unlock. It's not even on "Done...unlocking." I tried using the competitive score and competitive time, does that negate achievements? I don't have any skulls activated so that can't be it.

I guess I'll see Terminator to tide me over till then.
