[QUOTE=death2sarge;49075741]So i haven't played the game (don't own an xbox one), but came across this on halopedia:
From what i've seen of the plot, did they remove this from the final product? I saw a bit of how John was coping with the missions he was going on after her "death".[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Winner;49074825]I fucking hate the warzone beach map because once one team captures the spire, they pretty much just win - it's nearly impossible to retake[/QUOTE]
What if I told you this is pretty much all the warzone maps
Why they made an objective based game mode have linear point layout while also making it so the middle point (which is in perfect range of ALL the objectives in the game mode) is the most defensible position on the whole map is beyond me
Warzone comes down to whoever get the middle point first in 90% of matches. Especially when the capture mechanics are all or nothing - you have to literally landslide destroy everyone at a location to even start capturing it it, which by the way doesn't block those same people from spawning there 10 seconds later. Which wouldn't be a problem if the points weren't so hard to attack and weren't so big in capture area.

It only comes down that way because people don't understand you've gotta go for the bosses to win. All you need is one base so your core's protected, and if you can drop the major bosses, it's your team's game regardless of who has middle base or even the other armory.

That's not said any were in the game and is only a theory

That's great but the middle point has easy access to all the bosses and all the bases. If bosses always spawned far from the middle and there were objectives that weren't centralized on the map then this wouldn't be a big deal but that isn't the case
It's so much easier when you have the middle base. Spawning there gives you good access to NPC bosses, is close to both capture point bases (so even if you lose the one near your HQ it's comparatively much easier to capture the other or recap the one you lost), and has easy access to most of the map. And you aren't likely to lose it because of how the capture mechanics work and the fact that the middle bases are for some reason the most defendable positions on the map.
I wish Game DVR recorded voice because I cried so hard I nearly choked on my tears.

Uhhh, no. Thats a fan theory with no evidence to support it.

Shit, it was really low quality when I watched it on OneDrive so I couldn't tell the difference.

I would say no, but I can't find any good game on the Xbox One you could buy instead.

Well, I did it. Wasn't dissapointed, but no new special guns... And only 1 mongoose.

Me pissing people off with a super ghost in warzone.
Can you "force" checkpoints in Halo 5 campaign?
As in, if I sit around for a while without enemies around, will it trigger a checkpoint?
I'm playing Halo: Reach and I really miss this art style and the amount of customization you get.
Would anyone be willing on helping me get the multiplayer achievements of previous Halo games?
The achievements are super hard to get, and the multiplayer is dead at this point.
So after playing Halo 5 at a friend today I'll have to say that the gameplay is top notch. The missions are quite fun to play too, even if the story might be kind of off. Can't really say for myself since I only played the first 2 missions, but it seems there's some quite neat setpieces and gameplay environments. Shame about the splitscreen though, I always played the campaigns splitscreen with a friend.

The level design and scenery is amazing in the Campaign, its just the story and lack of Blue Team that are bad.
Halo online eldorito Halo 3 pc port. Its getting there!

I honestly think 343 has struck a perfect balance with all the weapons. Every single weapon I pick up in arena feels good to use. I forgive 343 for halo 4 because 5 is so damn good.
A lot of people just brushed off 343's team being brand new and half set up as an excuse for Halo 4, but you can really see that in Halo 5. It might not be your style or have enough to keep you interested, but you can't deny Halo 5 is put together a lot better than Halo 4 was. Really makes a massive difference when you got an actual team, and not just a bunch of co-workers.
Just gotta hope that the post-launch support is solid. The base game has a decent amount of stuff missing for a full scale Halo release, and they can say that a bunch of maps will come out afterwards, and show videos of the new Forge, but we really got to see if they can go through with it.

Well, it's lookin pretty good so far. Not even a month out of launch and we're getting a gamemode + 4 maps and req gear. Granted the maps are forge made, but still. Nice to get more conetent so soon.
This was my first game on day 1 of Arena.

[QUOTE=Winner;49081385]forge world was the coolest thing tbh[/QUOTE]
I wish I'd gotten a chance to actually play the maps I made with it though... my XBL ran out a month or so after I got Reach, I think

That and they listened to the community and pulled a map. They are currently addressing the aim bug too. Apparently on Elite controllers, your can't even reach full horizontal speed ( I never heard about this but it was on the waypoint post)
[QUOTE=Winner;49081564]ok why the hell is there no overtime in warzone assault? i.e. when time's up, the defending team has to get the attackers completely out of the point before they win, like TF2 does.[/QUOTE]
Because then winning as defender would be nearly impossible. It's 12 people throwing their suicidal bodies at your base, having even one inside leaves enough time for 3 more to join
[editline]9th November 2015[/editline]
That would make more sense if the capture progress was reset without anyone inside like regular Warzone
I wish we just had invasion tbh
Halo reach isn't part of the initial release of BC on the XB1. But it is coming
