By Wesley S Shark Go To PostFallout 4 has consumed everything.Welcome Home
By Wesley S Shark Go To PostFallout 4 has consumed everything.I've played Fallout for about 10 or so hours. I'm really enjoying it but for some reason I've found myself playing through H5 again for the third time instead...
And I only just completed it on legendary a couple of days ago...
Edit: just looked now, I've spent 23 hours playing H5's campaign. That's 4 more hours than I've spent playing Arena. This is easily the most replayable Halo campaign there is IMO.
By Mdot Go To PostGetting Fallout of Christmas. Does it run OK on the Xbox?I haven't had many issues at all, I'm 40 hours in.

Careful now you'll rile gaf up saying nonsense like that.
By Mix Go To PostWelcome Home100+hrs in and I don't want to stop lol
By Mdot Go To PostGetting Fallout of Christmas. Does it run OK on the Xbox?
It has locked up on me three times in the ridiculous amount of time I've played it thus far. That's way less than Skyrim locked up on me lol. I save constantly so it wasn't much of a big deal. Just inconvenient.
Framerate drops sometimes in heavy enemy areas but nothing gamebreaking.
By Mdot Go To PostGetting Fallout of Christmas. Does it run OK on the Xbox?Ive heard it runs well if you have an SSD
By Pancracio17 Go To PostIve heard it runs well if you have an SSDDefinitely better on my external drive.
Regarding Fallout performance, I've had it crash 3 times in the 12 or so hours I've played, framerate can get pretty dicey at points and the loading times are pretty rough.
It's playable though.

Everyone is playing fallout, and I'm sitting here playing elite dangerous...possibly participating in human trafficking
By JBird20022 Go To PostEveryone is playing fallout, and I'm sitting here playing elite dangerous…possibly participating in human traffickingI played the hell out of elite when it came out on Xbone then switched back to Destiny, but I'm very ready to go back when they release the Horizons DLC.
I just have no desire to play anymore. I've achieved Onyx in every playlist possible, I've reached Champion three times and do not care to try and maintain it. I don't really care about Warzone, so REQ packs don't matter to me.
I'm just back at CSGO now trying to improve and get better there. I'm already a really good Halo player, don't care about getting any better.

Something I feel like 343 definitely should be applauded for is just how damn good throwing grenades feels in 5. The grenade throw is straight up the best feeling throw in any game I have ever played. I feel like they go literally exactly where I want them to every time.
Here's a couple of clips I took on my last legendary run:

This second clip I'd already been killed by that guy once so I knew where he was. Wasn't blind luck.

By Wesley S Shark Go To PostI just love bouncing nades around corners. It just works so well.
That works for me too. I got a hail Mary in BTB the other day from a long-shot chucked genade into the other team's base...got a good chuckle out of that.
ok, now that ive played a sufficient amount of halo 5 (i think) im gonna write down what I think should stay, should go, what they did wrong and what they did right
Gameplay
-ground combat is fantastic, among the best (or the best) of the series, shooting, movement and abilities all come together really well except for revive, that needs to go, id rather have more intelligent AI teammates rather than revive.
-vehicles are weak and have surprisingly little focus in this game, considering its a halo game, most vehicles sections are not as good as the rest (with some exceptions) of the series and is one of the worst in the series for this aspect. the campaign has this problem in spades, flying vehicle sections for some reason are super closed off, so are tank sections among others, the only real standout was the mantis section. Even BTB has less of a focus on vehicles than before, the blood gulch re-imagining barely has a warthog, needs to improve. NO UNSC FLYING VEHICLE FOR TWO GAMES STRAIGHT?! WHAT!?
Missed opportunity on not giving the prometheans a chopper and tank type vehicles since they dont have ground ones and they dont need transportation vehicles so offensive vehicles make a ton of sense.
enemies: prometheans are great enemies now and the covenant are as good as they have always been, but the prometheans lack some charm, dunno how to fix this one.
Story
-story, while bareable, has tons of problems, like the handling of cortana, the guardians (what do they do outside of the shockwaves?), every single spartan, etc. This is also a nitpick on my part but we got very little actual human UNSC destruction in this game (outside of the ending), after reading what the kraken actually does, im surprised the never made the kraken pick up a structure or spaceship and destroy it, I dont think I saw a single UNSC pelican get taken down which for me makes it seem like a smaller threat than it actually is, until the end that is. This story did give us exuberant witness tho.
Presentation
-Fantastic, it looks and sounds amazing and runs at an unbreakable 60 at all times, only arena maps suffer from stale environments.
Multiplayer
-I need more modes and maps, I cant enough of the game, tons of missing game modes though.

Tonight, I decided to take a break from Fallout and play me some Halo 5. I decided against trying to party up with anyone and just jumped in solo.
Holy fudgecakes what a terrible idea
This was the second to last match I played, making me think something is probably wrong with the ranking system (I'm plat1 right now, where I was put in plat4 from the start lol)
Now, the fuccbois on the red team and I were all pretty evenly matched, so I'll take that for what it is, but these cumquates on my team who go 9-16 and 9-20 with a quitter had me fuming. At one point, I saw both of them just walk into sniper fire like tweedle-D and tweedle-Dumb.
I did manage to have fun, a lot of stuff I did felt rewarding, and Halo 5 still does a great job of making each encounter feel fair and not like satan just bent me over, but my god if it's not infuriating to lose nearly 15 matches in a row with these same random player results and constant quitters.
TL;DR: Halo 5 needs to punish quitters in arena harder than they do already. It is plaguing the game.
PS: I also did this in the same match I posted the scoreboard from, I laughed at it: http://xboxclips.com/Mixmisterchief/33506906-a6ed-4dfe-b75d-cc36d41143d7

Just wanted to say again Im stoked for Forge (hopefully 2 weeks awayish)
Discombobulated Forge rant-y post incoming, sorry to everyones eyeballs. Just keep scrolling.
I was super critical of the build quality of this batch of BTB maps, and after Warholics post and Noks snippets here and there, I dont necessarily feel better about the whole process. I dont really hold those guys that responsible for any short comings, because even if they laid a turd in that week, (in my opinion) there should have been time to correct/replace/remove it.
Recurve being the most altered by 343, and the fact that it has the most (simple!) mistakes is disappointing, I feel like any boots-on-the-ground walkthrough of that map would have revealed alot of those structural inaccuracies. tbh on a non-forge topic, I just dont like the map at all design wise
Maybe Im hyper critical, maybe 343 doesnt care if there are non-symmetrical terrain pieces, or if rocks jut out of walls inexplicably, or if there are random holes around the map, maybe I just hold Forge too highly, it probably shouldn't matter, but it does to me. No holes, no exploits, no z-fighting, no bumps, etc, etc.
Forge gets such a shitty reputation in the community because it seems its best foot is never put forward, Even though Forge has been making monumental leaps, its handling has been worse and worse.
File Sharing, Community Distribution, Technical Ability. In my opinion I think the first 2 have gotten worse every game since Halo 3.
Although I have never held a position of notoriety in the forge community, I think Ive been around enough and in enough places that some of my phalang-al diarrhea has some merit, atleast starting a discussion and trying to bring issues to light is all i can hope to do. I really hope these maps makers are given the proper chances to improve these maps, and that 343 moves quickly on fixes when it comes to Forge maps.
Probably the single biggest benefit of Forge maps in MM, is that if errors are found, they should be able to be fixed (more quickly than dev maps) but that is never the way it actually happens.
In the past when I would "release" a map and someone says "wtf this spawn" or whatever, I would just fix it and republish. *I have ZERO KNOWLEDGE* on how maps are verified for distribution in MM and pushed into the dedicated servers, but from my understanding, it should be easier than ever.
These Waypoint polls are cool and easy, put it to a vote. Which BTB map do you think needs a review? Take it down, look through it, fix it.
343 is lucky to have such an enormous quantity of stupid fans like me that will just supply and endless chain of free content for them to tap into, I hope they do.
Its super late, I am sure there is zero cohesion in this post, sorry about that, Any other use of this telecast or of any pictures, descriptions, or accounts of the game without the NFL's consent, is prohibited.

Yep. Bugs when I find gaps or holes. Half my map process is flying around in monitor mode until I'm motion sick, looking for gaps in rocks and set pieces.

This and vehicles made out of plywood. Vehicles have never been easier to counter thanks to increased movement options and general vehicle weapon damage nerfs. Why do they have to have such low health on top of that? I can't shake the sinking feeling that for the most part the 343 dev team doesn't like vehicles in the sandbox much at all.
Geez I can't wait until we get some more BTB maps. Hopefully we don't get anymore Recurves. Been having so much fun with BTB still though.

The vehicles could use a damage buff, health isn't an issue for me. Only time you get taken out quickly is when the team decides all fire at you all at once.

By Pancracio17 Go To PostI dont get these arguments, cant you just pick it back up again once they are back?
Sure I could. I will probably still dabble. But I'm through caring about this franchise. Ever since Halo 3 I have been making excuses for this series because I loved the first 2 so much. 343 has made Halo into something I just simply don't enjoy anymore.
Not launching with a better map selection, weak playlists, no BTB, BTB is all forge maps even though we still don't have forge, weak ass story and writing, boring new characters, warzone being over emphasized, req pack whoring, etc. I could go on.
Life is too short to care about a franchise that just continually makes me sad, mad, or disappointed.
Consider these posts my final farewell to this community. Not trying to be dramatic, but I'm just not interested anymore.
