Halo 5: Guardians is available now!
Hello, and welcome to the HaloSLAENT Official Thread. Here, many like minded people gather to play, talk about, and hate on the number one game on Xbox, Halo. We are still relatively young, having migrated over from NeoGAF once the thread we had over there was closed up, but we're loyal to our new home.
Why Are We Here?
Halo has always been a great game to sit down with some friends and have a great time. Now, 14 years since the release of Halo Combat Evolved, it is a billion dollar franchise with a huge competitive scene and spans multiple mediums and platforms. We here on HaloSLAENT regularly get together and have weekly Throwdowns hosted by our own xCliQuEx. If you'd like to add your name to our list of people who don't suck, make sure you throw your name into this OneDrive hat we have here for ya: http://1drv.ms/1WntVyq
Reporting For Duty, Cap'in!
343 was kind enough to design a clan system for Halo 5: Guardians called "Spartan Companies". Each company allows up to 100 members as of launch and has no in-game counterpart, making it more of a super secret special club for you and 99 of your best Halo buds. HaloSLAENT was fast on the draw, thanks to the original founder, Ukumio, and we sit high and mighty on the front page of the results, but incase that's not easy enough for you to find, I've conveniently linked the original HaloSLAENT Spartan Company right here for you. You're welcome.
The FNG; The Rookie
This is important to us, especially now with Halo 5: Guardians right around the corner. We'd appreciate it if you'd take this time to fill one of these bad boys out. Shouldn't take long, and you don't have to be super specific, and I recommend you don't be. Keep it short and sweet, and we may read it after all.
How long have you been a member of SLAENT? How long have you lurked?Just keep in mind, not everyone is as nice as some, and the proof is in the pudding:
How old are you? What country or state are you posting from? (Optional)
How long have you been a Halo fan? Have you played all the games?
What mode do you spend most of your time in?
(i.e. Multiplayer, Campaign, Forge, Firefight, Theater)
What is your favorite playlist?
(i.e. MLG, Action Sack)
Help us get to know you better. (Optional)
Examples of things to include:
– Any HaloENTists you know in real life.
– Other Halo sites/forums you have been a member of.
– Any other games you spend a lot of time playing.
– Personal bio stuff. (occupation/hobbies/etc.)
By Fahzgoolin Go To PostCuz it's a new Halo game with new opinions. Opinions aren't welcome around here ;)
Expanded Community
The Halo community is massive, and while most of us here like to think that we're the only ones in the world, we're definitely not. Places like Halo Waypoint, Halo.Bungie.Org, Team Beyond, Customs Night, and many more are all great places to meet and group up with Halo players of every kind. Be it Campaign loyalists, or Competitive tryhards, you can find any player you want on these sites, so make sure you check it out.
While those other guys are great, no one beats the homegrown taste of Halo nerds. ReclaimerHub is a group of nerds who like to talk about Halo, so we got together and started a podcast called Reclaimer Radio, then in March of 2015 we rebranded ourselves as ReclaimerHub and began producing content in multiple forms such as write-ups, videos for youtube and more on the website. Check us out @ReclaimerHub on Twitter, at ReclaimerHub.com, and Youtube.com/ReclaimerHub.
Help! Help!
If you need to get in touch with one of us who help run the site, either to promote something or otherwise important, hit us up on twitter @HaloSLAENT.

Halo I Confess I've Done Unspeakable Things

I changed it because we don't need the [OT] monicker. We are actually going away from it because in the future we will introduce a tag system that does some UI sugar to showcase an OT.understandable. It just looks like a capital i the way it's laid out currently.

By Granadier Go To PostEveryone, get in here!All of that will be tweaked in the future, PMs are just occupying my time. Once PMs are done, which I consider the last "core" feature, I can focus on introducing smaller features that enhance the experience over time.

By Trey Go To PostReilo, subscriptions whenThere's a technical hurdle to overcome with that because of caching. Sharp is in charge of looking into a solution for that.
Hey Reilo, is it cool if we keep the naming convention? It's just fun to see the number go up :) If not, that's cool too man

I promise not to fill the first few pages of this OT with pointless shitposting this time.
also, dat thread title.
By Mix Go To PostHey Reilo, is it cool if we keep the naming convention? It's just fun to see the number go up :) If not, that's cool too manMy real objection is the "OT" monicker... it's kinda self explanatory that a thread is an OT. Feels redundant, but if you wanna do some sort of version, e.g. "v2" or "2.0" that's more than fine by me.
In fact, the nerdy side of me would love if people did semver e.g. "2.0.0" (major.minor.patch) whenever they update the OP: http://semver.org/
By Cliq Go To PostWow they closed the other one fast.
Let's finish the Maw bro
By nillapuddin Go To PostFor your bookmarks everyoneI disagree with your tag.

Halo 2.0: I Got 343 Problems and Halo 5 Ain't One

Feels redundant, but if you wanna do some sort of version, e.g. "v2" or "2.0" that's more than fine by me.lol it's funny you said this, because I was actually going to do this with the last one since I'd been updating the days to go every night, just never got to it, I think I said it would've been on like 1.1.12 or something the last time I thought about it. I'll definitely do it with this one.

Serious question: what do people use Subscriptions for? I just pin everything.
EDIT: my nomination is Halo | 2.0.0 | Chief Just Blue Himself

Mmmmm that new thread smell.
Back on topic, is there going to be an official H5 app or is everything done through the Halo Channel app? (I don't see a Waypoint one other than the mobile site)

That new thread smell. I can't believe there are 76 members of the company. I'm guessing people are discovering SLAENT via that GAF companies thread?
By Mix Go To Postwell guys, going to work for the night. Gonna pick up my console after the midnight ends.
See you nerds on the other side.
Hook us up with a fat ReclaimerHub unboxing video of the console, yo.
Or maybe just an imgur album of some pictures of it.
By link1201 Go To PostWere "Spartan Companyies" the thing Frankie was talking about over the weekend?The "mildly amusing" thing? I'd guess so
By RowdyReverb Go To PostThe "mildly amusing" thing? I'd guess so

By Ukumio Go To PostHoly shit, we reached 343 really fast, guess it was the clans stuff.Aye, the group blew up to. We had 7 when I went to bed O.o
By Fata1moose Go To PostIt made the bodies float which was awesome.I had a game of H2A Assault on Shrine where the bomb got dropped in the creek in front of my team's base and floated closer to the base. I was not pleased, lol.
Just a heads up for the SC, but you need to change the Site link to the new thread.
Also how awesome would it be if we could just go to slaent.com/halo and it'd take you to the latest Halo OT.
