The Halo Thread V13: Great, this guy's OP again?

[CSG172]

Just a heads up, you guys can get a free cosmetic pack today since it's Halo 5's launch anniversary.

[Wickerman123]

Oh boy that was nice.

God damnit I got 3 weapon skins, which I can't use since I only play on PC.

[blz-Killjoy]

Ugh, damnit. Just got Variations of armor I already have, Rogue and Mark VI.
I thought for sure I had a good chance of getting Mark V or some Reach armor.

[XUZUL]

I got the Wetwork Cleaner set :saxout:

Nice! Shame I only play on PC though...

[chipsnapper]

Ayy Mark V…the good one!
(How many rehashes of helmets are there?)

[ScriptKitt3h]

[QUOTE=chipsnapper2;51271014]Ayy Mark V…the good one!

It's technically a Halo 5 version of Jun's helmet, but yes. It is technically a Mark V [b] variant.

I think he was saying he got a Mark V in his pack.

REQs look good, about to open mine. Fingers crossed for Emile's armor... anyway, full quote on the anniversary from the Waypoint blog for anyone who cares:

[QUOTE]Today marks the one year anniversary of the release of Halo 5: Guardians! We can’t believe how much the game has grown over the first year of play and it’s thanks to you, our fans. You are the reason we do what we do, you challenge and inspire us every day and we love you for it.

Since launch last year, we’ve delivered nine updates, expanding the content and experiences available to all players. We’ve released fifteen new multiplayer maps, six new game modes and many hundreds of new REQ items. We’ve lit up new features such as the completely overhauled Forge mode, which is now more powerful than ever. Since its release, we’ve featured more than sixty community-created maps in matchmaking, highlighting the talent and imagination of our many creators. We’ve also expanded our support for Halo 5: Guardians to include public APIs and Halo 5: Forge – bringing the powerful mapmaking tool to users for free on Windows 10 PC.

On the competitive side of things, Halo esports has been an area of focus since the beginning, and it’s been exciting to watch professional players from around the world compete in Halo 5. Working with our partners at ESL, PGL, MLG, and others, we’ve held over fifty Halo 5 tournaments including online events, with a combined prize pool of more than $3 million (plus a handful of X-Games medals thrown in for good measure).

[B]And while we’ve been busily supporting and expanding Halo 5: Guardians over the past year, we’re not quite finished. We still have more goodness coming down the pipe, including the ability to browse and join live custom games on both Windows 10 PC and Xbox One, the introduction of more maps into the Warzone Firefight rotation, new Forge canvases, an improved spectator experience, and more. In addition to new experiences and features for both Halo 5 and Halo 5: Forge, we’re also working on matchmaking and server improvements. Look for more details on what's still to come in the not-so-distant future.

Finally, as a special gift to celebrate Halo 5: Guardian’s birthday, anyone who logs in today will receive the just-released Greatest Hits Customization REQ Pack for free.[/B]

Thank you for making Halo 5: Guardians awesome!

Eh, could've been worse. Shame most of this is useless to me because of customization options on PC.

Stances and weapon loadouts aren't usable on Waypoint, only colors, helmets, armor, visor and gender.

If you don't want to torrent it you can just make a copy of your disc files on another computer.

I forgot how bad the animations and camera work could get in Halo 2, they're fine most of the time but scenes like Miranda taking the Icon are awful. I always thought Blur did an amazing job, but this just makes me appreciate their work even more.

EDIT: Good news! Bravo (community manager at 343 for the past 4 years) has been promoted to Senior Producer, and Ske7ch is now the community manager again. For anyone who doesn't know or doesn't remember, he was community manager for Bungie for almost the entirety of their run with Halo.

[chipsnapper]

100% more weekly Mister Chief or bust.

[FlandersNed]

Did Ske7ch ever comment on major complaints if they ever came up?

[robotman5]

Anyone still play Halo 5 Forge on PC?

[Itauske]

I've been unable to since I can't open the windows store to download it.

[CSG172]

[QUOTE=robotman5;51281124]Anyone still play Halo 5 Forge on PC?[/QUOTE]

I do occasionally, but only ever to play with my friends who don't have an xbone.

[Wickerman123]

[QUOTE=robotman5;51281124]Anyone still play Halo 5 Forge on PC?[/QUOTE]

I would if I wasn't drowning in work and stress.

[QUOTE=robotman5;51281124]Anyone still play Halo 5 Forge on PC?[/QUOTE]
Yeah. I just use the insane amount of people I added as friends from various Discord servers and drop in if I can see there's a game going and feel like playing.

[XUZUL]

r/Halo discord usually has players, me and my buddies start lobbies and we get to 16 players easily
