>>123140159
>>123139871
I'm better than you guys so why are you trying to give me advice...
Maybe it's a psychological thing, but I swear I get more kills and have steadier aim when my controller is low on batteries and the vibration turns off
>>123140269
How much does the exp requirements go up?
HALO REACH AND WARS FOR XBONE WHEN?

>>123140291
>when my controller is low on batteries and the vibration turns off
>having vibe on ever
no wonder you do poorly
>>123140159
>crouch up and down
I see no way this would help. The difference in height is negligible and you move so slow while crouched.
>>123140849
I wouldn't say poorly; my KDA is 2.5 and my win % is over 70%, so I at least help the team much more than I hurt it. It's weird though. When the vibration dies my aiming is so much smoother, but I have no idea why since the vibration can't possibly throw off the aiming that much.
>>123140862
>he isnt mlg
>>123140603
Wow. I'm so impressed. You placed in Bronze and farmed! Wow!
I've been playing Halo since 2002, beat them all except Halo 2 in Legendary. However the first one I played online was Reach back in 2010/11.
I don't like 4/MCC/5. I want Reach back ;-;
>>123141162
5 is okay though. Reach has backwards compatibility on the way too
>>123141162
>Reach
No thanks, Halo 3 was the pinnacle of the online mode. Reach was a gargantuan step down.
>>123141059
Whats it like to be a shitter?
Maybe if you try real hard youll be able to beat those big bag MLGPRO players
>>123141162
I've been playing since CE came out with friends but played 3 online without ever having played 2 online.
I like 5, and fucking hated Reach.
I'm happy with the way things are.
>>123140849
Does vibration provide extra sensory input that the game audio/visuals can't?
Poorly worded but I think you get what I mean.
>>123141293
If you're asking if vibe helps at all, the short answer is no. To me it's equivalent to someone standing behind me and gently shaking my shoulders while I'm playing. It's a distraction.
Need 2, we got a good party tonight
>>123141293
Makes me feel good when headshotting cunts desu
I fucking loved the Grenade Launcher in Reach. The Plasma caster isn't the exact same but it has this weird familiar feel to it.
tfw no koolaid to carry u on his big turbo shoulders
>>123141387
I didn't mean if it helped or was practical.
I meant that is there any information about the game you get from vibration that you couldn't get from audio/visual. Or is purely extraneous.
WHO KEEPS TAKING THE PLASMA PISTOL IN DEADLOCK ?!
>>123141285
Who cares? Not like being good at FPS is anything impressive.
>>123141637
what map is that? I havent seen that fuckin map once
>>123141249
I mean sure, 5 is ok, but I miss how fun Reach was under Bungie. I stopped playing it shortly after 343 did the Title Update thing.
>>123141254
I played Halo 3, and yeah it's probably better, but Reach was much funner IMO.
Hyped about the backwards comp of Reach/Wars. Will you be able to play online? That will probably boost their populations a lot.
>>123141704
it's a remake of the halo 3 classic "standoff"
>>123141637
Oh wow big man with the overkill from nadespam 0/10 I hope you get turbo-cancer :^)
>>123141668
Oh okay. It's definitely extraneous.
>>123141031
>he is literally autistic
>>123141768
yeah you can play multiplayer on bc
>>123141843
You sure?
I thought maybe there would be times where there would be a vibration source without audio or the audio would get drowned out by some stronger audio but not the vibration.
I was just curious if theoritically you could run the vibe input through a program could you glean any info from it or is just useless.
>>123141929
getting hit sets off vibration I think, that's nice for alerting you
>>123141687

Anything good?
I got a bunch of rare armours, and a Void's Tear cert.
Not as bad as it coulda been.
>>123149501
sounds like you're bad
>>123149784
I guess another SMG is ight, don't really care for either helmets.
Don't care for the Longshot BRs over Regular ones w/ Kinetics/whatever
2 Whiplashes and the Tank + Void's Tear are nice enough, probably won't sell those.
Security Never (because I don't play enough).
>>123149501
>Wall and Terrain Cheats
Proof? Could you go into Theater and make a webm or are you merely whining about some bullshit that never happened/being outskilled?
How's the FoR series going? Any good?
Tfw you will never be actual irl friends with anyone from hg, and know most of us wont stay in touch beyond halo
Remember when we threw matches constantly lads? When scout hogs and fucking around was still funny. Better enjoy this time now while we still can. Love you, faggots.
>tfw Diamond I in BTB even though lost 2 games horribly
>>123151636
Old /hg/ made tons of friends, I still have people added on Steam that I met in Reach through /hg/. I even know some meetups have taken place.
But that was all a long time ago.

>>123148172
>run behind Wraith since they're so slow
>hold X
>congrats, you've destroyed a level 5 vehicle with 1 (one) grenade
Which /hg/ boy is the cutest?
>>123149501
how to single-handedly destroy the enemy core:
1. equip a silenced smg (or 2) and the advanced motion sensor mod
2. sneak into the enemy base when they try to recapture their armory
3. shoot the core with the smg until it blows up (it takes 4 mags)
ez-pz desu. even more so if you were to use camo and/or power weapons
also, you can get into blue's canopy (apex) by sprint-jump+thrusting off the rock directly in front of it
>>123153121

>guys that shoot you from across the map without using ADS
How in the fuck
Also why'd they remove the killcam from the beta? I kinda liked the music it played
>>123154081
Does this work in assault?
>>123154173
they are using the left stick to trace you.
kill cams ruin stealth. im sneaky, i dont like people knowing where i am.
>>123154309
What do you mean tracing? Just strafing alongside me?
>>123154249
I don't think that exit is even there in Assault. Could be wrong though.
>>123154249
there are a few ways to attack the other side.
From the front, you can run off a rock, boost and climb into the window. from the left, you can park a warthog and climb up. from the right you can get onto the rocks under the door and climb onto a piece of metal thats connected to the mountain.
this is the left side.
http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Zebs%203619/video/12874328v
>>123154173
>ADS
very easy to repull the trigger
or they just aimed for centre mass cause its the same damage till your shields come off
>beta killcam
I like those percentages they showed
>>123154472
Okay I will try it.
Did you jsut get lkeky sneaking down the ramp?
>>123154391
yeah. they are using the left stick to follow your movements. you probably know this and have heard this a bunch, but halo relies on using both sticks to aim. More so than other shooters. Aiming with your left stick to smoothly follow a target will let you land long distances shots more easily. if you look at Koolaids clips, you will see that he makes major adjustments with the right stick, then walks the reticle into position with the left.
>>123154527
>54 visors
>"content"
>people think this is acceptable
>>123154602
people generally dont expect you to come from there. your worst enemy will be the Marines. They are all knowing. tho i dont think it would be safe to sneak that whole ramp when there is no cover to hide behind. run down as fast as possible. duck to the sides if you need.
>>123154173
I haven't scoped in since Halo 2. Scope has always been a crutch, ADS even more so. Shitter rely on it too much and once you descope them they fucking panic and shoot every which way
>>123154898
Does ads improve ar, smg, etc accuracy in 5?
>>123154930
I believe so. I know it does with the shotgun.
Again, not really necessary as the damage values are the same and if you're using anything but a dmr/br/magnum at mid-long range you're a dumbass
>>123155048
>I know it does with the shotgun
lame
>>123154391
>>123154712
It's more noticable in this one, with the last guy I never even move my stick, I'm just moving my spartan to aim instead
>>123155048
ads has way too much impact in halo 5, especially considering a lot of people may run the default button laying with fucking trigger for zooming
Pretty much every single gun is better off being used in ads other than rifles/pistol at mid/close range
>>123155174
Again, I rarely ever use ADS and I do fine.
Only time is across the map shots with precision weapons, otherwise I never do. Using it with automatics is fucking stupid, handicapping yourself hard
>>123155174

How does using ads handicap you with automatics? If it improves the spread it seems like it helps.
Any games going? It's 4:30 in the morn and I wanna play with some niggas.
Cool beans got security helmet.

Because the only time you should autos is at a range where spread is irrelevant, any other range you should be using precision weapons
>>123156381
Seems presumptuous.
What if they boost backwards? What if [blank]?
Seems like there's plenty of times. What is downside of using it?

How big is the silver item pool?
Just trying to estimate number of packs you need to finish it.
>>123157694
>How big is the silver item pool?
>>123156825
Halo died w/bungie
>>123157803
pls just tell me, I like numbers so I can estimate number of days etc.
>>123158242
Is there an accurate list of all Common, Uncommon, Rare, Ultra Rare, and Legendary Items?
I was trying to do something like this a few weeks ago, but i couldnt find a decent list.
I wanted to see how many Req points would it take buying Bronze, if each pack had an Item.
then how many points after all the Common Junk was done, to complete Silver then Gold.
then figure out how many wins it would take in Warzone. Then figure out how many games I can play in a day. Then determine what i can actually expect with a 60% win/loss. And how long that would all take.

ok, this spreadsheet is garbage, is whoever made it aware that it calculates including all the emblems? It should be left telling you to buy 35 more silver packs than you need to, to obtain emblems that cannot be obtained from packs themselves... not sure about the gold packs since i'm not done with them. Be sure you factor that in if you actually plan on using it
>>123169003
Just discard the emblem side then since you know you only need the commendations.
>>123169003
I don't even bother counting the emblems due to how many are locked behind commendations.
The fact that there isn't a "commendation" rarity baffles me.
i should probably just save up my warzone packs until I've silvered through all the uncommons, huh
>>123171476
Is it even possible to save those packs up?

>>123171605
I see no reason why it wouldn't be possible - after all, they'll just sit there being unopened until you get around to them.
>>123171605
i would assume so. 2 get dumped into your unopened packs hopper each week, and i dont think they delete each other if they stack up
after preorder bonuses and other promotional stuff, like the HCFP pack and beta participation pack, i had like 13 or so packs stocked up waiting to be opened after i got my hands on the game

Halo's lore would have been better if the forerunners remained a mystery.
Halo after 3 should have been about chief hunting down the rest of the rings and destroying the flood once and for all
Halo 5 should have been the last game, about fighting the OG flood precursor dude.

>tfw no mic or headset

So fucking frustrating, like three people quit every time the enemy scores a flag first or gets two strongholds
Any xbox parties at the moment?

How did they fuck up BTB in halo 5? Halo 4, which had the worst multi player to date, some how managed to get BTB right.

There's three reasons, just to get you started.

Oh please, BTB is fine.

36% of the 343 staff are niggers

The maps are awfully-designed and uninspired, before we even begin to get into the issues we have with player spawns, the gametypes those maps feature, the way everything looks plastic and unfinished.
They look awful, they play terribly, and there's absolutely no reason why we couldn't have had some actual in-house maps that were built specifically for BTB.

That takes time and time is money.
If you want perfect bespoked maps you need to support 343 and buy more packs.
Does anyone else feel the BTB maps are too sniper friendly? I am a shitter so it might just be me.
>>123193257
Only Basin seems to be the problem. Someone /decent/ with the sniper can take the incineration cannon hill and dominate the entire map with little recourse for everyone else. There should just be one sniper at the hill instead of the cannon in my opinion.
>>123191739
I like them except for Recurve. It has no flow and plays like something a ten-year old put together. But overall I'm still having fun with them. It's just a little, different I guess. Basin is very comfy and Guillotine is an excellent remake.
>>123193257
If Koolaids webms have shown me anything, yes
>>123193257
Spawns are 80% of the problem, the other 20% is that I feel the sniper is a little too easy to use, especially with the magnetism
I think they managed to fuck up the xbox UI even more, which is quite a feat if you ask me.
>>123195269
I like it. It's fast and that's all I really cared about.
I know 343 doesn't listen to waypoint
do they listen to reddit?
