By NOKYARD Go To PostThanks to WARHOLIC who proof read it and tossed out about 2/3 of my original draft.
My favorite part about that was that your map's interview basically got carried out like
NOKYARD: "i meticulously ensured everything was as faithful as absolutely possible"
Jeremy Raymond: "i got rid of the top level of the bases and threw in some satellite dishes because reasons"

That's the secret sauce.
That's super awesome if that Halo customs thing actually works like they say. A really unexpected and cool side effect of the API.

Nilla: "So when 343 brought me in to remake some classic Forge maps, my first inclination was to do Turf because I have alot of experience with building it in forge, and I always seem to have a great response"
343 Team: "So after Nilla left we scrapped everything because literally nobody cares, anyways, heres Lockout 4.0!"

There's some good stuff from Brian Reed on Halo 5's campaign in this week's Canon Fodder. Interesting to see how many variables are up in the air until the story comes together.

I still stand by my previous statement: it looks like they used the Photoshop stretch tool on the Shinobi helmet.

So, kind of a weird complaint, but it's something that makes me a little sad everytime I play this game.
Coming off of Counter-Strike as my main game before playing Halo 5:Guardians, It makes me really sad playing this game solo-queue 90% of the time. No one ever talks in game. You see in Warzone 10 people with a mic, out of party chat, but rarely does anyone ever just want to talk. Not even making callouts... but just continuing the fun by interacting with each other and showcasing emotion.
Almost everyone in Counter-Strike has a mic, the whole game it's you and four other people just talking for an hour, trying to win. Be it laughing and having giggles, or raging and fighting with each other, at least it's so interaction. Halo 5 feels so dead and depressing just running around fragging for 10-20 minutes, because no one wants to talk.

People use their mics in arena more and more the higher you go up the ranks, but yeah I get what you mean.
I still stand by the statement that a lot, if not most, people who don't talk or prefer party chat were made fun of when they were younger for their voice or general immaturity (like me) and thus base their online xbox live experiences around those early years and figure that everyone's a bunch of jerks or a kid talking about how he screwed your mom. I've only had one bad experience in Halo 5 with someone who had a mic, and frankly I deserved it cuz i sucked that round and made them lose. (side note: played AGAINST those teammates and won the next game). Honestly, I've made more friends than I've been annoyed through Halo 5.
NOKYARD.... Loving the way the map looks. Can't wait to play on it.
The Headlong remake also... Hnnnnggg

Had one of my worst performance stretches last night. Could not get anything going; was dying way too much; couldn't finish anybody off. Terrible and so frustrating.
I feel you, ive had lots of those in breakout, especially during my placement matches.
And people should use their mics more, its fun sometimes.

Halo 3 DXP Grifball weekends with randoms + game chat was the best.
We had games where the other team recognized us and we spent the final round chatting with them at center court.
We also did this thing where if 3 opposing players bailed once they saw who we were, we would give the 4th player the win.

By NOKYARD Go To PostHalo 3 DXP Grifball weekends with randoms + game chat was the best.I've always wanted to give someone an epic comeback win at 49 kills, but my teams never want to do it lol. As in, say my team has 49 kills and the other team much lower.. throw the match by letting the enemies get all those kills to win the match, that way they'll have a story to tell for the rest of their lives of how they came back from a 49-25 deficit.

Yep, was really interesting to hear. I hope that we ultimately *do* get a H5 postmortem (although we haven't really gotten one for H4, although I might try and address that as best as we can) because these sorts of things are really interesting to me. I'm sad Thorne got the shaft but with the characters we had I think Buck fit in a little better. Hopefully we see Majestic at some point even as minor characters.
By link1201 Go To PostAny new updates in the BTB update? I heard it may have went live but I'm not home to verify.Not sure either, but the community update yesterday said later this week and any specific times/date would be announced on Twitter.
By SpeedyBlueDude Go To PostSo, kind of a weird complaint, but it's something that makes me a little sad everytime I play this game.Most people already have their established group, was different back then when you straight up didn't know anyone.

Now most people find friends via message boards and forums or through other friends.
No game update today. Bravo replied on reddit to people asking. Made it sound like BTB / Shadow and Light is coming out 'later this week' not today.
By YourExWife Go To PostBring back proximity voice. Best trolling weapon of all time.Truth. Loved it as a gameplay tool too when you heard opponents near by.
Fallout 4 is taking too much of my time right now (and 144hz monitor for CSGO that's on the mail won't help) so I don't have too much time to play Halo 5 but I hope they get BtB out before the weekend. I don't enjoy Warzone at all so I could use a more casual gamemode (=gamemode where I can have a bad game and not automatically lose).
By tootsi666 Go To Post(=gamemode where I can have a bad game and not automatically lose).
Playing the wrong game brah.
By TheHunter Go To PostPlaying the wrong game brah.And that's why I'm playing Fallout. I'd like to be able to choose between FO4 and Halo 5 even when I'm just playing for fun.

That said, the game could really use a "social" playlist. Or one (excluding FFA) that you could only go in with a fireteam of max two or solo. As it is now, I feel like I'm punishing myself going into any Arena or Warzone match solo.

the last sprint was a very cool cherry to top an awesome series. I'm really looking forward to playing some BTB with you guys soon. I miss all of y'all.
Same, got a nice break coming up which will hopefully give me some free time. Been stressed the hell out lately
Halo 5 Wraith Killpocalypse (9 kills)

I noticed that they took out the splatter spree medal, I had a killing frenzy with a ghost and only splatters and I didnt get it.
By kaizen gamer Go To PostHalo 5 Wraith Killpocalypse (9 kills)EDIT: Yep, no splatter spree

Haha, was playing a Warzone Assault game. We did pretty poorly initially, attackers pushed us out of the first base pretty quickly and we ended up pushed back to the core quickly. We reassembled and did a good job repulsing them, and a random req card got me a Wraith which earned me a running riot and lasted me until the last few seconds (and utterly annihilated the tanks and ghosts they sent in.) Ended up successfully defending it.
I was kind of iffy on the push towards much slower but more powerful projectiles, but I think the Wraith works pretty well on balance. Still think it looks goofy.

So spent a lot of time yesterday evening on the montage - cool little intro being made with some assistance from Fuchsdh (thanks in advance dude!)
I've had so many submissions, and wanted to be as inclusive as possible - to that end, ANYONE who submitted a clip will be in the montage - even if your clip wasn't that good. (Believe me, there were some duds!) ;)
But this is a community montage, not a pro player tage, and I have opted to reflect that in the editing.
However, due to the huge number of submissions, it's a LOT longer than previously thought. I've still got enough clips for 1 more song - so at this point, despite saying I wouldn't accept any more - I will - drop through your very best if you haven't yet submitted either via pm or email to halogafmontage@gmail.com and I'll make it happen.
Aiming to release later this week, time permitting.

Finally turned it around a bit last night and had some decent games.
Started though with a 3-on-4 which quickly turned into a 1-on-4. Guess who the 1 was? I really wish there was a way for the game to allow you to quit penalty-free in those situations. Just prompt you to forfeit the game. It murked my KDA and it's just not fun.
I echo the statements above about a need for a Social Playlist too. Half the time I don't have a fireteam I don't want to head into Arena and risk situations like yesterday.
