At least it can play decent games in 720p and have some exclusives
Best deal for 359$ including 2 games and 1 controller
>>333168249
None of the req bullshit is in normal multiplayer, it's just for a single special mode and even then it's probably the fairest microtranaction system around, you earn enough in game currency to buy a pack after every single match. The only reason to ever use real money is to unlock cosmetic shit faster.
Also MCC's campaigns have always worked and the MP mostly does now.
>>333168290
Arbiter was an alien and obviously deuteragonist just used to show the story from other angle.
Locke is forgettable nigger who in their misleading marketing and the campaign challenged the chief for spot of protagonist.
>>333168581
nobody bought the collection for the campaigns, they bought it because they wanted to play halo 2 online again.

No you don't unless you mean just barely getting a shitty bronze pack.

The MP is still full of bugs and 343 refuses to even acknowledge it exists since it's such an embarrassment. Not that matters since their neglect and horrible launch made the dead as a doornail after months.
>>333168682
>who in their misleading marketing
I want newfags to leave, 5's marketing was far less misleading then 2 and 3''s.
2's was litterally about time traveling AI's and a second group of s2's, none of it is even canon and had absolutely nothing to do with the events of the game. 3's, while canon, still had nothing to do with 3.
with 5's at least it was still somewhat related.

>>333169136
All of what you are saying about the missing conttent on launch and 343 abandoning MCC is is absolutely true, but for that anon and for you to say the MP is "p2w microtransactions" is bullshit: The req system only matters in a single damn mode and you don't need to buy anything to do well.
I haven't bought a single req pack with real money and I still get enough cards to do well in warzone
>>333169516
Yeah but the guy who can spawn oni scorpions and ultra banshees every game is gonna do better.
I don't get to play Halo 5 as much as the previous entries since my brother has the Xbox One back at home while I'm at uni. Even when I'm home, I have literally only ever seen him play Warzone, but I gave Team Arena a shot this weekend and I have to say it's still pretty solid. I'm a little upset about missing modes like KotH and Infection and so forth, hell, I'd kill for Regicide or Juggernaut to be added to the FFA playlist, but at least the team games like Assault and CTF are still more or less intact.
There is NOTHING wrong with having a black protagonist.
>>333169087
You're just making shit up.
Two and three's marketing was mostly vague and cool.
Five's basically directly said that the story would revolve around locke chasing down chief.
I think it all got rewritten into retarded evil ai plot near release.
>>333166707
>bothering with Halo after the canon ended and the fanfiction began
I guess you get exactly what you pay for anon.
>>333169516
If this is how you feel, so be it, but I honestly can't comprehend what you're saying here.
You're talking like 343 just sat back and said "Ahh that'll do guys. Just leave 'em like that."
>We need to push microsoft and 343i to deliver a true next gen experience
A you f'ing kidding me?? I dare you to walk into 343 and tell the devs, to their faces, that they're not working hard enough to deliver us a next gen experience.
Your whole post is littered with comments like that which just makes you sound ignorant. 343 is one of the best developers in the world from a technical point of view. Microsoft only hire the best. It's their flagship franchise.
IF, and that's a big IF, the textures end up looking as bad as they do in these cobbled together screenshots, they'll be a damn good reason why they do.
Someone sitting behind and keyboard saying "come on guys, it's easy enough, just do it better! lol" isn't going to change anything.

How is warzone the mode which 343 pushes the most not pay to win?
>>333169876
People play war zone more is because you get a fuck ton more xp and req points and it's also pretty casual in a good sense game mode, arena on the other hand is very fun if you have a team or a buddy,can be very competitive

Say what you will about the franchise now... but overall the mp in 5 is pretty fun.
Also I would destroy Kiki Wolfkill's butt.
>>333171629
It's not pay to win, honestly it's sort of a scam since here you pay for high tier shit when they only give 3 time uses for each ofthem and other common to "rare " stuff that you could have easily gotton if you simply played the game more its pretty much a way to waste your money on commons to "rare" shit and maybe a few ultra rare and legendary goodies when you could have simply PLAYED THE FUCKING GAME long enough to get that shit all for free and also in abundance,
Summary 343 is marketing to idiots/kids who don't realize you could get EVERYTHING for free if you played the game long enough fucking genius
>>333173181
How competitive can it be when you're not even playing against people who can fight back?

Lol not unless you shell out cash anon.
>>333173341
It's very fun my only complaint is the fucking pistol needs to be a side arm and not a fucking mini Dmr if they fixed that it would be perfect
>>333173181
It's fucking extremely casual your team pushing them with scorpions , banshees and ultra wraths and you sit back with a norn fang or other sniper just picking of stragglers fucking comfy

Magnum is great dude.
>>333173782
You don't have to shell out money at all dude just don't be stupid and over use them constantly I have a mad stock of ultra rare to legendary shit by getting daily wins and playing constantly and getting more gold packs by playing the game
>>333174859
How many legendaries do you actually have?
I doubt it's an abundance m8.
>>333174998
Not that anon, but I haven't spent any money on reqs. I just play a lot.
>>333174372
>>333174405
I know it is great it's too good for its caliber of usage, the pistol should be used in a secondary manner not a primary I see more pistol in the kill feed than any other gun and it's ridiculous people don't go for br's or any other percition weapon because why would you,your mini dmr is all you'll need the arena Playlist is pretty much turning into a sudo Halo 1 pistol and power weapon only game
>>333166707
It coud be worst ,like a lesbo black women who shout out female empowerment quotes at each kill
>>333175247
><5
>abundance
How many hours have you put in for single digit amounts of those weapons?
>>333168249
I bought the 5 xbone thinking 5 would have an outstanding choice of gamemodes and amazing customs.
Boy was I wrong. We're up to what, 6 gamemodes counting warzone now? And req items still aren't usable in customs?. I thought halo 4s drop off would be impossible to top, boy was I not counting on 343 and their multiplayer designer flat out saying social gametypes are not true halo it should be arena hardcore modes only.
Wars 2 is the only halo game I'll ever buy again, fuck 343.
>>333175568

>>333175626
Warzone Turbo has been eating up a lot of my good weapons, and I haven't bought any packs in a while because I'm saving up for the update this week.
More often than not I just use my loadout weapons.
>>333175449
>I know it is great it's too good for its caliber of usage
How so? Halo has always centered around headshot weapons, and this is no different.
>the pistol should be used in a secondary manner not a primary
Why?
>people don't go for br's
Sure they do.
because why would you
They're easier to aim, have better scopes, and get more kills per magazine.
>the arena Playlist is pretty much turning into a sudo Halo 1 pistol and power weapon only game
So how is that any different than the BR/DMR-only games? Not that you're even remotely correct; the only weapons that truly get neglected in 5 are the Suppressor, Hydra, and Boltshot.
Is the storm rifle the shittiest gun in the game?
Why do they even bother placing it on maps.
>>333175778
Because you know, an alien species would have the same social problems as us. Jesus they really shoe horned that quote in.
>>333176129
It's the best gun in the game 2bh. It kills incredibly fast, and never runs out of battery. You must be using it wrong.
>>333175984
Like how helioskrill was supposed to be in packs to begin with? Like how that guy has supposedly been yelling infection at the MP designer for the last 7 months?
343i puts Todd to shame in regards to flat out lying. Maybe after the fucking shambles of MCC WHICH STILL DOES NOT FUCKING WORK PROPERLY coupled with 5s awful awful launch 343 won't make it to 6.
>>333176148
Well, that and the fact in the books the females defended the home planet while they were away at war. They have always been in the ranks.
>>333176236
Rocket launcher and smg are better.
>>333168249
I still play MCC all the time. There are always people playing Big Team Battle.
I still have not seen a game that does vehicular big arena combat like Halo.
>>333176281
>that guy has supposedly been yelling infection at the MP designer for the last 7 months

For me Halo 5 was Halo 4 but backwards. I liked 4s campaign but hated 5s campaign and I liked 5s mp but hated 4s mp.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAX3y6zU9Wg&feature=youtu.be
HALO 5 FORGE IS THE FUCKING BEES KNEES
>>333176306
>Rocket launcher
They're not even comparable.
>SMG
They're about even. The Storm Rifle needs to land less shots overall and only needs like 2 shots before a melee kills.
>>333176281
That's way more interesting than 'deciding to let them in their ranks'. It seems like something the elites would do too. And I never would've known because they don't explain shit in halo 4 or 5
Why is halo poop?
>>333176445
>another novelty custom that's fun for at most two matches
Just like the frying pan one.
Halo 5 forge can't measure up until they actually add gametypes and options.
>instead of adding random weapon starts they add a specific fiesta mode preventing random weapons being used anywhere else
343 raises the bar on stupidity.
>>333176687
Reminder they had the main villain from 4 fall into a black hole only to have him fully killed off IN THE COMIC
>>333176526
>mfw top tier arena play is camping with automatics
>>333176765
Halo 4 is the Phantom Menace of the series. Nothing important happens in it, and it's almost all forgotten in the sequel.
>People are still falling for the 343 meme
They're a fucking garbage developer, the only thing I ever bought from them was the MCC, and only because I lost my Halo 1 and 2 discs
I have no idea how they managed to make the Halo 1 Anniversary thing look MAGNITUDES worse than the original
>>333176946

You need more than just normal kills to get Achilles. The worst part is actually the grenade kills and first strikes. The grenades seem OP when you get hit by one from an enemy, but when you use them yourselves they are fucking marshmellow. What me and my company does occasinally to get grenade kills is we take a gungoose and drive around with a guy in the passenger seat throwing grenades everywhere.
>People care about Halo's story and characters.
But why
>>333177083
Reminder.
>We had people who we hired who hated Halo because of 'X,'" says O'Connor. "But what that really meant was, 'I feel like this game could be awesome because of 'Y input' that I'm going to bring into it. I want to prove it, and I'm passionate about proving it.' So we ended up with a bunch of people who were genuinely passionate about the product. That is a huge advantage, and that helped in hiring and forming our team.
>"It's during that time you're questioning yourself: 'How is this going to work, will it be as I envision it in my head?" says Holmes. For Halo 4, he says there were a few epiphany moments that helped boost the morale of the team. One of the earlier ones that Holmes recalls was when the team completed a small piece of the Halo experience that he described as a "very traditional" Halo. User research showed that people thought it was a lot of fun, and it showed that the team was capable of making a Halo game that was true to what the series was about. 343 scrapped it, Holmes says, as it was too traditional. But that first build showed the new team that this amalgamation of different studio cultures could work together and achieve a common goal.
They made a traditional sequel and everyone enjoyed it then they scrapped it.
NEVER
FORGET
>>333177481

Dude fuck this "here read hundreds of novels and shitty comics written by failed artists and morons just so you can understand the piece of shit false grandiose story and forced characters that we're churning out yearly" bullshit. Why not keep it simple like the first three games? You can always expand your universe with spin-off GAMES like ODST and Reach and not this tripe.
This is even more shit with RPGs. Mass Effect and fucking Dragon Age constantly do this shit. Like, what in the fuck is the point of even trying to play the story heavy game like those without this filler content that's focused on in the sequels, fuck. Fuck west.

>>333176148
I didn't see it as shoehorning. The elites are dimorphic like us, and so their culture has evolved to have male warriors. I thought that perhaps 'Vadam saw the benefit of an army that isn't entirely uniform and homogenous during his time with the Covenant, so it would be okay to recruit females for his new regime. The one female sangheili you encounter in Halo5 is a pilot. She isn't sword zealot, so it doesn't matter if she's female and not as strong as male elites.
>>333176148
>>333185149
It was shoehorned alright, but not in the most apparent manner. It was already established that female Sanghelii acted as warriors for the sole purpose of the defense of Sanghelios - they didn't serve in their military in the same sense that the males did, but they were combat-capable in the case that fighting ever broke out on their homeworld and they were needed to defend it. Having Vale say "It's weird that Arbiter has female soldiers" is not only straight up wrong, but it makes Vale seem like a fucking idiot since she's supposed to be an expert on alien species and their languages and so forth - she ought to know about this sort of thing.
If they wanted to make a point about the elites having female warriors (since I don't think it's mentioned in any other Halo game) they could've had another squad member ask something like "was that a female on the comms just now?" and then have Vale explain exactly what we just talked about. But it's 343, we can't have nice things.
>>333186440
Oh okay. So it's again just a case of "343 don't know their shit"
>>333177516
The only other appeal of Halo is multiplayer, and liking a gamepad console multiplayer fps is pretty disgusting. What else is there to like?
