Whose idea was it to make certifications permanent REQ unlocks? In the long run they're completely pointless because eventually every weapon will have a certification, and it's frustrating to wait a week to buy a Silver pack by selling off the stuff in the dailies only to get certs instead of armor unlocks.
Thinking of buying ODST on the xbox one, anyone know if Firefight is still played on it?

It's pretty dead yeah.

I'm pretty sure MCC ODST has no firefight
It doesn't.

In hindsight, doesn't this mean Warzone Firefight on Halo 5 is the only Firefight on Xbox One, REQ system and its warts included?

What about Reach?

Reach?

[QUOTE=AbbaDee;51288867]What about Reach?[/QUOTE]
Well, right by Backwards Compatibility I realize. I had meant 'natively', but then I also forgot about Reach being on BC, so I guess i'm wrong.
natively, yes, no firefight on One. I don't count Reach as a XO game, I mean we can still play it on XO but it wasn't made for XO. It's kind of like calling RDR an XO game
I split a One S and ended up getting the Halo edition and have been playing Warzone a lot.
There are a lot of really bad players
Lootcrate #3 has been announced.

The announced contents are pretty standard, exclusive figure, t-shirt, Legendary REQ pack, etc. I find the art fairly interesting though, they're using the original CE style instead of CEA's ghastly look, yet Chief himself is wearing Reach-style Mjolnir Mk V.
I want a full size image of that.

You should add me, I'm on fairly consistently and I'm looking for more people to play with.

I like Reach Style Mk V. more then any other Mk. V
A quick question. Did anyone ever extract the halo wars sound files? I want FORGE IS DOWN as my notification sound for memes, but I can't find anything about it.

Ive just remembered that I got a trial version of professional photo upscaling software. Ive already bumped up the res to 1080p and 4k, but I have a day left on the trial.
Tell me what res you guys want before the trial runs out, and ill do what I can. Once the trial runs out ill upload everything on cubeupload.

It looks much better than the Buck figure from last time.

New community update: [url]https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/back-in-the-saddle[/url]
Lot of stuff, so I'll just highlight the most important parts. Most of this is just Q&A with Ske7ch now that he's community manager again.
[QUOTE]@GreenTwatter asks “Why can’t we get black undersuits?”
I was surprised to find that this is such a prevalent thing. But yeah, turns out a lot of folks just want a black techsuit for their Spartan, which I’ll admit seems like a perfectly reasonable ask. Why can’t you get one? I don’t have a firm answer as I have to assume it’s far less trivial from a production standpoint than it would seem to you or I. It’s definitely a known issue though. In my first two weeks I’ve been in multiple meetings across the studio where this exact topic has come up and in some ways seems to have even become an internal meme of sorts. I assure you that the development teams are painfully aware of the community’s sentiments surrounding the techsuit and I feel pretty confident that this will influence their work in the future.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]@Zeouterlimits asks “Is it time to dust off the podcast mics?”
It is indeed! I’ve already talked with Frankie and he’s totally on board. Thankfully Grim has already put together everything needed to create a podcast (in fact it’s used regularly to create the “HCS Listen-In” show) so this is definitely something we will be doing. When? I’m not totally certain yet but if we can’t pull it together before the holidays then I’d expect it to begin in earnest at the start of the year. I’ll be spinning up a thread on our forums to solicit your ideas and input on show topics, guests and more. Stay tuned.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Many people asked some variation of “will the Halo 5 servers be fixed?”
I think there are a few different underlying issues that parts of the player base have experienced that have been lumped into “fix the servers!” Overall the online experience for Halo 5 is pretty great but the team is aware of a few specific issues that seem to be increasing in prominence. As a commitment to sustaining a fun and enjoyable online experience along with a consistent and fair competitive landscape, the team is actively investigating these reports. In fact, I’m told there will be a very small update pushed out tentatively as early as next week that’s strictly under-the-hood work to further assist in identifying the root causes of reported instances of higher-than-usual latency, disconnects as well as melee registration to help facilitate a fix. I expect to be able to share more on this front in the coming days.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Multiple people asked some variation of “What’s going on with the Master Chief Collection?”
That’s a great question and something I’ve been working to better understand during my first two weeks at the studio. What I do know is that nobody here has forgotten the launch issues and how it impacted the Halo community. It’s something that everyone in this studio lives through every day.
MCC continues to be played and enjoyed by a lot of people to this day, and while its been greatly improved since release…it’s not perfect. I know some people still experience oddities and inconsistent behaviors that hamper their enjoyment, while others play and enjoy it just fine.
Many of you just want to know what’s going on and if you can expect further patches and updates in the future. While I can’t definitively commit to specific fixes at this exact moment, rest assured that MCC continues to be discussed and researched internally as part of the broader “Halo sustain” plans and priorities, including the potential of playlist refreshes.
The studio as a whole shares my own personal desire to improve transparency with fans, so our community team will continue to help facilitate that dialog and share any and all news, even if it might not be what (or when!) the community ideally wants to hear, as soon as we have something to share. [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]SPROCKET42 asks “will there ever be a solo Firefight mode in Halo 5 (like in Halo Reach), if not, will there be one in Halo 6?”
There are currently no plans to add a new “Reach-style” Firefight mode to Halo 5. As for the future, who knows, I haven’t been here long enough to rank up my security clearance to know all the cool things the team is working on…. Yet. [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]DAXSEVEN09 asks “My question for you is will you try and organize 343i game nights with the community? They were a regular thing back during Reach, and I would love to see them return on a regular basis.”
Heck yeah! We’ve already talked about this and it’s going to happen. I’m personally excited to check out the upcoming Xbox platform update that introduces “Clubs” and “LFG” as new features that will hopefully make it easier to meet up and play with gamers across the Halo community. But we will definitely be having some new version of the old “Humpday Challenge” / “Game Nights” with scheduled games between 343 and groups across the Halo community.[/QUOTE]
tl;dr: Black undersuits are coming back but probably not in Halo 5, the Podcast should be returning sometime soon, they're looking into the complaints regarding Halo 5's servers and a patch should be out next week to help them find the issue, MCC is still considered an issue but may or may not be fixed, solo Firefight is not coming back for Halo 5 at this point and game nights with the devs are coming back.

To let you guys know, eldewrito got a population boost from a AskReddit thread so now is a good time to play.
I'm still trying to figure out how to host a game of Halo: Online from my computer for myself and a few friends to just dick around in. I've tried following the instructions before, but they couldn't find the server or join via console when I had it up, which is extremely odd since I have all of the necessary ports forwarded to allow everything to work.

did you serverannounce?
[QUOTE=FlandersNed;51331291]did you serverannounce?[/QUOTE]
No. I don't intend to make it a public server, it's just for me and a few friends. I just can't seem to get a server up properly for us to play on, so we keep jumping into servers that have relatively terrible ping for our respective locations. Out of the 4 of us, I seem to have the best connection for hosting a server from my system, which is a bit of a problem since I can't even get the damn server to let them join.

Oh wait, you meant the command in the game. My bad, on a bunch of meds right now, so I wasn't thinking straight.
Yeah, I've made sure each time to do that as well. Still doesn't seem to work for me, so I don't know what the hell to do about it.
