Lets get a Halo 5 thread
Thoughts on the new update? The Warzone Firefight update is good and gives us a challenge.
>>343294351
Pretty fun update. WZ FF is addicting and Molten is cool. I sent out the only Wasp req I got and it fot instantly blown up though. That sucked.
>>343294351
For a game with a lackluster launch but a solid core they really turned it into a solid 10/10 multiplayer.
Firefight is amazing and the best in the series yet depending on taste.
Its good but fuck that boring horseshit when you get "4 Phaetons and 1 Knight located on the other side of the planet, in a closet, behind 99 gruntlings."
Chipping away at the fucking Phaetons with kinetic rifles sucks balls and takes 5ever. Last thing I want to play when I play Halo is god damn Destiny.
My biggest hope was that the Grunt mecha would call out its attacks.
I am a happy Anon.
>>343298348
He's fun to fight really fun
>>343294351
>playing halo after 3 and reach
>>343294351
Haven't played it yet but downloaded yesterday. Played the beta it was cool. Can't wait to fight the grunt mech.
H5 MP is god tier. Anyone who says otherwise is either a contrarian memeing fucktard or a Halo 3 babby with permanent nostalgia goggles.
>>343298870
Still fun
>>343298870
t. Halo 3 babby
>>343294351
I joined a custom with a guy that put banshees inside of the new scenery pelicans. He's working on getting them controllable. I went inside one but it couldn't fly.
>>343294351
dosnt change the fact warzone is infested with a microtransaction system, leading to frustrating situations like >>343295403
just like every other game out now. this is why i didnt get an x1. heard arena was good but i also heard its gotten lagy after the updates?
>>343300467
>infested with a microtransaction system
It's annoying honestly. Takes a long time to unlock everything. I've got roughly 300 hours in Arena/Warzone and I've only got about 75% of the unlocks.
It's never a situation where it's pay2win though. If you're going to get stomped by a 12 man premade it was going to happen either way if they pulled 5 scorpions at once or not.
>>343298870
You know someone is a retarded 3 babby when they even imply that Reach's multiplayer was worth playing or near the level of 5's multiplayer.
>>343300968
>le halo 3 babby
5 is literally nothing like the original trilogy. it's more like 4 and reach than anything
>>343301118
Not at all.
It feels like 2 but with special abilities added. It's much more grounded and fast than the 3 or reach slow and floaty bullshit.
>>343301219
it feels nothing like two holy shit lol
also calling someone an h3 babby when you actualy like halo 5 doesn't make any fucking sense.
>>343294351
It's almost perfect. I think they should tweak the respawn delay and where you spawn a bit. Love the difficulty. It shouldn't be babby easy.
>>343301118
You're obviously retarded. I was 16 when CE came out, played every single one extensively.
Reach and H4 and loadouts and stupid fucking abilities that ruined the classic Halo formula of equal starts and power weapon control. Halo 5 brought that back and added abilities that enhance mobility and options for any scenario.
Halo 3 babbies are the worst. They must have been 9 years old when H3 dropped so they can't clear the nostalgia and look at something objectively.
Also, H5 Forge is the best ever. By far. The customs have been amazing.
>>343301532
reach 4 and 5 are the only ones with sprint and that's a huge change. not only that the maps have been changed. are you that bad that you cant tell?
>>343300835
This. The grind in it is real.
However, it does not impact gameplay at any level, even warzone balanced the rare stuff nicely.
If all you want to play is classic Halo arena then its all just cosmetic.
>>343301383
The BR has a very similar kill speed, there's about the same amount of gravity as two and similar jump height, grenades are very powerful and a useful tool, vehicles aren't ungodly impossible to kill beacons of chaos etc.
3, Reach, and 4 had horrible as shit competitive mp.
CE, 2, and 5 are by far the best at non customs mp. 5 also has the most potential with customs and has some of the best, though the reduced playerbase means there's a bit less content.
>>343301629
Halo 4 was such a shitshow with the way the handled sprint.
In Halo 5 however it actually adds to the gameplay and is in no negative.
>>343301664
>The BR has a very similar kill speed, there's about the same amount of gravity as two and similar jump height, grenades are very powerful and a useful tool,
that's all minor. halo 2/3 are still the two most similar halo's. 5 is the odd retard out. 1 and 2 literally had the same maps which is another huge similarity
I'm going to laugh my ass off when Halo 6 comes out, it's windows 10 + Xbone, it plays extremely similar to 5 (except probably no smart scope if that one leaker was legit), but yet gets praised to high heaven on this board just because all the pcucks that were complaining about 5 can actually play this one.
I'm happy future Halos will be on PC, lets me play it with prettier graphics and M&K which is nice, but jesus people on this board have the worst case of sour grapes ever.
>>343301629
>change is bad
No, you're retarded. Sorry I wanted my favorite franchise to evolve it's gameplay mechanics. If you want to play the same thing for 20 years play CS:GO or a dead arena shooter like Quake or Unreal.
Enhancing movement options isn't a bad thing, especially since the maps are designed around it. If you can't kill someone because they got away from you by sprinting you have no room to complain because you're just bad.
>>343301794
sprint has a huge negative affect. how could you not think otherwise? the maps are stretched making it impossible to get to cover before dyiing slowing the overall gameplay down
>>343301871
literally git gud. nobody fucking likes halo 5. everyone already quit after 3. even the best player in the world just retired for a reason
>>343301842
This. Fucking exactly this.
>>343301984
>nobody fucking likes halo 5. everyone already quit after 3.
So you're shitposting? Alright.
>>343301807
>halo 2 and 3 are the two most similar halos
BAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
You are so full of shit it hurts.
Halo 2/5 has near 0 spread hitscan weapons for the precision stuff, and high spread (though for 5 they have bloom) hitscan weapons for automatics.
Halo 2/5 has good amount of gravity, medium jump height.
Halo 2/5 has relatively fast base run speed.
Halo 2/5 has a fast TTK and quick animations for things like throwing grenades, meleeing, etc. Grenades travel quickly and have a wide AOE.
Halo 3 has medium spread non hitscan precision weapons that have travel time, and super high spread automatics.
Halo 3 has very low gravity which causes floatiness, high jump height.
Halo 3 has a very slow base run speed
Halo 3 has a very slow TTK, medium length animations for everything, grenades that travel slowly and have a small AOE.
>>343301905
>maps are stretched
>impossible to get to cover
Nigga there's cover all over the maps. And that's what dash is for.
>>343301905
You need to git gud.
>>343302224
they still play the same.>>343302314
you die way too fast. its just like cod now only you're too bad to realize it. enjoy it because nobody plays halo anymore
the ranking system is bad
sprint is bad
thrusters are bad and so is smart scope (at least have the option to remove it)
>>343302429
>You die too fast
You die at the same speed as two you faggot. You don't even die as quickly as you do in CE.
The ranking system is a bit simple, but it only sucks if you're a frustrated babby that can't get out of gold.
Sprint is balanced.
Thrusters are good, speed up the gameplay and increase the skill factor.
>>343302183
just because you joined the series late doesn't give you the right to shill this abomination of a halo game
>>343302595
>im going to compare 1 gun from one halo game
are you fucking stupid? the br is also a bit faster than halo 2
the smg is literally a cod gun
>>343302595
>The ranking system is a bit simple, but it only sucks if you're a frustrated babby that can't get out of gold.
I got to diamond and I o nly had the game for a week since I rented it. literally the easiest trash just like the game
>>343302673
>are you fucking stupid? the br is also a bit faster than halo 2
No, it's just about the same. There is a very very slight difference, but it's virtually nothing.
>the smg is literally a cod gun
"Dual smgs in 2 are literally cod guns"
Dual smgs had a faster TTK than the solo smg does in 5. Stop being mad because automatics serve a purpose in Halo for once.
>>343302832
>Diamond in preseason
Fucking lol, literally gold tier, because the placement and scoring values were fucked up.
>>343302673
>just because you joined the series late doesn't give you the right to shill this abomination of a halo game
I stated earlier I was 16 when CE dropped and I've played every single one extensively. Bitching about Halo 5 just proves how little you understand about game mechanics, core gameplay, and balance. The only legitimate gripes about Halo 5 are the shitty art direction, writing, lore rape, and unlock grind. Bungie started the shitty writing and lore rape though.
Just fuck off with your shitty opinions to Bnet.
>>343302991
besides if you have been playing as long as I have how come you have not even noticed the awful aiming? I heard they updated that but still
also I have never seen people suck a company's dick as much as you guys honestly smash 4 people aren't even this bad
kill yourself
>>343303010
As someone else that loves 5, I'd argue that you could also complain about the poor aesthetic map design (though the gameplay design of the maps is golden). A lot are pretty boring and samey to look at.
>>343303087
Because after like the first or second update the game had they allowed complete customization of all aim values, so now it has the best aiming in the series really.
Really? No one posted the glitch yet?
https://youtu.be/q2DyfeipSNs
Easily one of the most fun glitches in any Halo.
>>343303226
still can't get it to work like every other halo. why the fuck even play this shit after shitting on 14 years of muscle memory? seriously
Playing with randos is pretty awful and I don't even have 8 friends left that play this game, last wave is impossible in matchmaking unless half your team pulls out legandary's/mythic'sonly for them to get spawn killed by some random explosive and get pissed enough to not do anything the rest of the match
>>343303226
>I'd argue that you could also complain about the poor aesthetic map design
Some look like crap I'll agree to that. The remixes kind of add to that sentiment.
>>343303320
They've tweaked the aim assist values for every single game in the series. People have had to adjust every time regardless.
And for once you can almost entirely get rid of acceleration, which is god tier.
>>343303373
Go on an LFG site. Plenty of people looking for groups, many of them very damn good.
Also try to hop in a custom. There's usually more customs than anything on LFG sites, and the customs in H5 are fucking amazing.
>>343303563
what are you right now in h5? care to add me? I just downloaded it for free.
>>343303373
/hg/ is pretty good to play with if you can handle all the gayposting and memers.
>>343303664
I haven't played since I moved about a month ago (I'm moving again in two weeks so I just decided to leave my xbone and such packed up)
If I remember right I think I set the acceleration values to like 2 or something, and the sensitivity to 4. It's been a while though.
If you add "IamKS 56" I'll add you back next time I do get on though.And god fucking damn it what is with captcha? Did 4chanx just not update correctly or some shit?
>>343301118
Halo 5 has about as much in common with Halo 2/3 as 2/3 have in common with H1.
>>343303965
Oh, and all deadzones at minimum, that I remember too.
>>343304041
except 2 and 1 have a lot of the same maps which is a huge comparison in an fps...duh
2 and 3 just kinda play the same. except for 3 only being able to hold 4 nades
>>343304254
Halo 1 and 2 only have a handful of similar maps, and many of the returning ones were changed a lot.
Both games have totally different mechanics, and really only share the 2-weapon system.
>>343304426
>Both games have totally different mechanics, and really only share the 2-weapon system.
none as big as sprint
>>343304513
Melee lunge, and a complete revamp of both weapon and player spawn systems.
>all these free silver packs got me finished up with silvers forever and now I'm onto gold packs
>I have like 5 different types of mantises now and call in tanks, ultra ghosts and wraiths every game
>>343301842
/thread
The only people calling 5 bad haven't even played it for more than an hour.
>>343303373
I've won a ton of my firefight matches
just don't be afraid to pull big guns
if you stay back with just stock weapons of course you'll get raped
>>343304591
spawning is pretty minor too. melee lunge...big but not even noticeable by people who never really played
>>343304909
Spawning is a huge factor is how Halo 1 games play out. I understand if you haven't played the game enough to understand its mechanics in depth.
>>343304605
what actually is the reason for the free silver packs?
just for completing a firefight game?
>>343305480
Part of the commendations. You can get gold packs, too.
>>343305063
that's still minor compared to sprint and thrusters
and a bunch of large ass maps nobody likes
>>343307094
Is it really minor, though?
>>343307214
considering the average player wouldn't even notice. yes. even the biggest scrub can notice sprint and the size of the maps
>>343307307
The low-level player will never notice what sprint does to gameplay in the first place.
>>343307412
im talking about something as minor as a spawn system compared to sprint. they can pretend all they want that they nerfed sprint, they didn't tho.
let me know when maps become small again where sprinting has shot stopping and no shield regen and is only a tiny bit faster than base movement then i'll consider playing again
>>343307524
>let me know when maps become small again where sprinting has shot stopping and no shield regen and is only a tiny bit faster than base movement then i'll consider playing again
its like you havent even played the game
>>343307632
ok let me know when sprint makes you commit suicide. 3v4i would be pretty based if they did that as a joke
>>343307524
>they can pretend all they want that they nerfed sprint, they didn't tho
They objectively did.
>>343307975
except it shouldn't even be in the game to begin with so it's not something to brag about or suck their dick about
>>343308047
It's not as damaging as you make it seem. There are worse things in the game.
>>343294351
Halo has been garbage since 343 took over, this update is no different.
>>343308151
the maps are very damaged because of it
seriously can you imagine playing on some of these without sprint? what a joke
>>343308242
I have played on them without sprint.
>new update
>have shit internet
>7gb
well damn
>>343298870
I love Halo 3 but stop putting Reach in the same league. I like Halos 4 & 5 better than that piece of shit. Halo: Reach is the equivalent of Metroid: Other M it's just Halo in name. While Halo 4 mp was garbage at least the sp had the effort to actual feel like a Halo campaign something Reach couldn't even get right. Fucking Reachfags.
>>343308242
>>343308242
>seriously can you imagine playing on some of these without sprint? what a joke
Yes?
people don't sprint much at all in arena actually
jesus you're retarded
>>343308203
Halo went to shit when Bungie decided their garbage vision was better than the fanbase when they released their non existent prequel.
>>343301842
Halo 6 pc source? Halo is what sells the consoles so likely to stay xbox exclusive.
>>343301842
5 is coming to PC this year.
>>343310672
>falling for this meme
No it's not. Forge is, and with it customs to basically playtest Forge. Matchmaking isn't.
>>343294351
who here typing here on /xbox one/
>>343309880
Reach may have been stupid story wise, but at least the gameplay was decent. Something 343 games have never done.
>>343310774
Is customs the actual game on pc?
>>343311417
>but at least the gameplay was decent
>>343303248
They better make this a feature.
I want CE Pistols that fire CE Pistols
>>343311417
No it wasn't from a mp standpoint it was only better than 4, but when it came to sp (for me this is where it matters the most) in Halos 4 & 5 you are as fast as you were and can jump as high as you did in Halos 1-3. In Reach sp Bungie purposely gimped the players movement speed and jump height for fucking armor abilities, the sub 30fps and motion blur didn't help.
