By Fahzzy Go To PostSure 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.Bye! ✌✌✌
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.
LOOK. When someone reaches apathy instead of hate or anger towards something they love, that is a big glaring warning. The product needs polishing and more content.
I feel it too, but am waiting for more game modes and Forge. I and my friends agreed we we on a little break from gaming on the console in general this past week. Sleep and catching up on "Once Upon a Time" were more important LOL.

Congrats mate!
This comes with a blanket assumption that a media franchise must remain static because people might dislike it.
People fall in and out of love with franchises all the time, and that's irrelevant to the actual quality of the franchise.
It's no secret that most people's favorite Halos are the ones they grew up playing the most, or the online experience that had the most free time and friends around to play with. Times change, and do games and the people who play them.

Once they add a Social Playlist, I'm going to be a lot more happy with the game. It might just be me, but I get stressed playing ranked matches alone, which is the majority of time. Couple that with the quitting issue that plagues the game. I guess it's just the competitive side of me, but I take my ranking and stats to heart and not having the option to just play "for fun" is a little lame.
Overall though, I'm still enjoying the hell out of the game and with the continued support, expect to do so for a while. I can overlook the small-ish map count with expectations that more will continue to be added. The gameplay itself has me hooked and barring any drastic changes to that, I think I'll keep enjoying it.

you're welcome, Snipedown
EDIT:
"The HCS REQ Pack will be available for 72 hours only, until 12:00 PM PT on Sunday, 12/6/15."
Better grind fast B O Y S
Apparently the rarities displayed on Waypoint are wrong; they are actually all Legendary
lol @ the flavor text

My friends are really ass mad about the price lol.
HCS has my donation. It's sorta one of the few competitive halo outlets left....maybe if we throw enough money they'll have a tourney in Texas.
Game tourneys NEVER happen here D:

There are tourneys all the time here, just none quite as big as HCS. But MLG Dallas is huge.
Guess I'll click around and see what the fighting scene in Dallas is like, if it's good I might have to take a trip with the guys and bring a camera.
I think i saw you can keep buying the REQ pack and instead of the HCS stuff after the first time, you get five rare or higher cosmetic items. I wonder if that is a better deal than buying Golds/Silvers

Only if you REALLY don't want any Warzone-only cards. Or if you REALLY want to donate more to the HCS prize pool
December update sneak peak will be on during the TGAs. Not sure if that is the only Halo related thing coming out of TGA, though.
By thornXBL Go To PostOnly if you REALLY don't want any Warzone-only cards. Or if you REALLY want to donate more to the HCS prize pool
To be honest, I want to opt out of the HCS skins and just get those 5 guaranteed REQ unlocks.
EDIT: A similar thing returning in the future - say, an "Unlock REQ Pack" that provided you with 7 REQ items with rarities varying anywhere from Silver to Gold pack options, and no Warzone equipment, for 20,000 REQ Points - is something I would totally back. I never use anything other than loadout unlocks and the occasional weapon cert freebies in Warzone.

1) Congratulations on the new bundle of joy Crimson!
2) @fuchsdh: I said, and quote: "...The product needs polishing and more content.

Not saying the game has to be static, actually stated its lacking content, which is a reason I am seeing over and over again for dissatisfaction and now apathy from multiple gamers. I actually played some custom games today, and had some fun. We were agreeing that we wanted more gametypes, and new maps for some concepts we were playing around with.
By SpeedyBlueDude Go To PostGianna Michaels tho? Shit would be throwing a hot dog down a STD infested hallway.
and my mother and father told me my skills in halo will never get my laid
I feel the same way as Fahz. I will still check back whenever there's a new update and I'm sure Halo 5 will be quite the package this time next year, but I have other games to play, other things to do, and as soon as Uncharted 4 comes out my PS4 is coming out of storage and my Xbox will be packed away in its place.
You guys are nice though so I will try to remember to come back on occasion. Maybe when Forge comes out we can get together and play some wacky custom mode and map combinations.

Halo 5 bums me out. Either I get teamed with shit randos, or starting a match doesn't connect me. Just disappointing. I played two games tonight then called it quits, and that was the first time playing Halo in like 2 weeks.
No one post the trailer and info from the Game Awards?
OFFICIAL Trailer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxbCtx3a0Fo
It's great that we're getting more free stuff but the more I think about it, the more its annoying me.
Free forge mode.. Which has been there at launch in past games.
Free Warzone map... That was shown in the E3 trailer.
Free Arena map.. Another remix of one already in the game.
Free BTB maps... Forge variants mainly done by community cartographers.

Halo 5: Guardians is expanding! New details about the next free update coming to Halo 5: Guardians later this month – The Cartographer’s Gift – were revealed at The Game Awards. The Cartographer’s Gift will add the biggest and most improved Forge mode ever to Halo 5: Guardians, in addition to brand-new Warzone (Battle of Noctus), Arena (Overgrowth) and Big Team Battle (Antifreeze and Burial Mounds) maps, and more than 25 new REQs for armors, weapons, emblems and more.
Additionally, the Halo World Championship 2016 begins Sunday, Dec. 6 with the launch of online tournament ladders around the world. The biggest Halo eSports competition in franchise history is centered on the ultra-competitive Arena multiplayer mode of Halo 5: Guardians, with a prize pool that has now reached $2 million dollars and growing. Starting today, in celebration of the Halo World Championship, a special Halo Championship Series (HCS) Premium REQ Pack – including HCS themed weapon skins, armor, and emblem – will be available for purchase. Fans will need to act fast though as this will only be available through Sunday at 12pm PST. As with all REQ Packs a portion of each purchase will go directly to the Halo World Championship prize pool.

...Do you even Halo?
By jem Go To PostI still don't see the problem with remixes.
cause there isnt one, anytime the dev gives a name to a part of the dev process/game feature, fans use it to complain
So happy they hit $2 Mil. Was getting scared they were not going to. Now to stress that they won't get to $3 Mil by the time HWC finals starts.
Remixes are not an issue for me either, to be honest.
Can't wait for forge of course, you all know that already.

By Silky Go To PostI'm not calling forge map creators 'cartographers'OK.
I think the $2mil figure is before including any HCS pack sales, so... it will go up another bump at least
By Silky Go To PostI'm not calling forge map creators 'cartographers'
yeah thats fucking stupid, all they do is make maps, why act like its something fancy
oohhh...
