Warzone Firefight drops Wednesday. Highly rumored to be the final Halo 5 free content download.

Didn't they say ALL content would be free? If they go back on that... man...
>>146799546
Payed DLC was confirmed months ago
>>146799546
It's fine as long as it's actual content.

Pretty cool that REQ points rewarded is based off how far you go rather than other factors. Is there a round cap in Firefight?

Wow. Seems short. Guess we'll see tomorrowassuming they play a full match.
>>146802573
Did you not play the beta?
>>146802647
Nope. I'm guessing that's something you had to sign up for. Was it fun?
>>146802316
Not this shit again
>>146802474
I'm not that anon, but you were the one who brought this up in the first place. Either provide some evidence to support your claim or fuck off.

1st of all, it's been known for a long time this would be the last free content drop.
But in case you need more recent proof:
http://www.nationaldailypress.com/2016/06/24/here-is-a-final-biggest-free-content-update-for-halo-5-warzone-firefight/
There's your fucking "citation"

>>146803557
Not that anon, but it's been mentioned that support will be carrying on past WZF. Whether that means 'free' or not has yet to be determined, but given the hubbub the Forge team has been making about extra content, I wouldn't be surprised if they bundle extra maps and cosmetics to beef up the drops.
>Tfw keep getting BTFO in Gold (Au) slayer
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee
>>146803975
I could see them switching from monthly content to once every few months
http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Buyatoe/videos
The old cyclopeses were pretty funny.
I'm glad Halo Wars 2 is keeping their accents.
>>146804110
That probably will be what happens. Unless they announce a new set of updates during tomorrow's stream.
Anyone want to play warzone or something
>>146804094
>having trouble in Gold slayer
I suck and even I do fine
>>146804229
End-of-stream usually has a teaser for the next set of content, sure, but I can see them probably settling down to work on community requests such as extra armour downloads and general housekeeping

It's a hassan to complete, for sure, but it's one of those things that once you really set out to do it, and get underway, it feels like an adventure with various seemingly impossible feats, and when you conquer them it feels really rewarding.
Work with one game at a time.
Also, online activity seems to have returned to the MCC so the multiplayer achievements are once again obtainable.
Save the LASO runthroughs for last. If everything else is completed, sheer strive will force you through them to completion.
>>146803193

Nobody will believe me but I work at Ubi and I have the exact numbers for daily unique users for Division and R6, Halo 5 is currently right between them so it could give us an idea how many people play, Last I checked R6 had around 250k daily unique players on xbox.

I'm not a fan of their games, R6 is very good though. I love working there.
>>146809842
The building is shit, it's currently going through major renovations. but yeah, it's a shit hole right now.
>>146809574
Hang on a minute, there's no way that there's more player on The Crew than R6, not even close. that list may not be accurate.
>>146810738
I'd doubt it too, although it might be inflated a bunch since it went free with gold
>>146810738
It's free currently. I can believe it.
So aside from saving the art-style from 343, what are you guys thoughts on HW2? I missed the beta.
>>146811907
I thought it was alright. Maybe a bit too easy to roll around and stomp, but that's probably just the playerbase. They're actively taking feedback and making changes too, so I'm hopeful.
>>146810354
Can you tell us abouy any upcoming unrevealed / in development games
Not anything serious of course just a little hint
>>146811907
It felt really the same. The new Domination mode needs fixing. It goes on too short.
>>146812159

Same with DMR swat.
>>146813254
Why dislike dmr swat?
>>146813091
I have no idea, all I know is that nobody is complaining, most employees actually like what they've done with WD2, it boggles my mind, I think most people who think its shit just keep quiet.
>>146813436
Because cross map bullshit
>>146813254
Yes fucking please. DMR swat has got to go.
>>146813436
>even more range to get spawnkilled from

It's shit.
>>146813602
BR Swat should go first.
>b-but muh how it was in halo 2
Who else thinks they need to bring back the halo 3 pistol as a REQ
WHAT THE FUCK
>>146813628
git gud?
>>146813672
It's literally unusable. Why would anyone think that?
>>146813672
None of the Halo 3 weapons should return because they're all the shittiest incarnations of each respective weapon.
>>146813808
I usually win. DMR swat is just not fun.
RIP el Lord Chapo.
>>146813852
H3's Brute Shot was better than 2s
new thread new lockout
>>146813990
And it was worse than either incarnation of the Concussion Rifle.
>>146813831
Because the current pistol is too accurate
All the maps are just hallway fests because the second you get a slightly open space it's a death zone
>>146814114
>game has shit map design
>the solution is to nerf the pistol, but not the BR or DMR
>>146814103
dat bayonet tho
>>146814234
More damage per shot > high melee damage
>>146814103
Brute Shot > Concussion Rifle
Incineration cannon is a different weapon
>>146814103
You're wrong.
>>146814227
The shit Map design is the product of everyone spawning with a mini-DMR in their pocket
Open spaces are death zones
>>146814103
Brute shot is better than concussion rifle T B H.
>>146814481
Or the map design is just shit. Every 343 map is just one giant open space with a long hallway circling around it.
all sangheili are actually mechs piloted by mind broken lolis

>>146814738

>>146815480
Oh, you mean Tyrant, which is often regarded as the worst map in Halo?
>>146815632
By who?
>>146815714
Nobody likes Tyrant. Everyone used to say that Torque was the worst Halo map ever, but then Tyrant came out.
>>146816150
Can't be worse than Snowbound.
>>146816198
It's hated for every reason Snowbound was, but it's a map made of those complaints.
And I say this as a guy who didn't mind Snowbound.
>>146816659
But it doesn't have shield doors.
>>146816198
I like snowbound. That underground room and tunnekls gets fucking chaotic, especially on KOTH and there's just grenades and shotguns everywhere
It fucking hurts my eyes to play on at night though
>>146816150
Tyrant really did make Torque seem bearable
>>146805085
i wrote off halo 2 laso when i found out they included all the bullshit new skulls in the playlist
like honestly you can fuck right off 343. give me the classic lineup and i'll inch my way through over a few days of hardship, but fuck your new skulls and fuck removing envy like hooly hell what on earth were they thinking
>>146817468
Anything that makes Halo 2 LASO harder can fuck off
>>146817468
>i wrote off halo 2 laso when i found out they included all the bullshit new skulls in the playlist
They actually updated it to only use the classic laso playlist due to criticisms about just that. It was literally pretty much an impossible task.
So now it's back to how it always was.
Still by far the hardest to LASO of all the campaigns.
For the record, pic related is more difficult than LASOing Halo 2.

I've attempted the 3 hour H2 achievement. They're asking you to basically perform roughly 30 minutes within the world record. It's fucking daunting, especially when Gravemind usually takes most people 40 minutes to an hour even if you do everything perfectly.

Thankfully, these individuals will grow out of it. Upon one's first exposure to 4chan, the attraction to moe/harem shit is too strong. It triggers man's inner attraction to all things cute while appearing to be a sort of high-class way of posting as these images are more often than not accompanied by satirical posts. Basically newfag shit. As they continue to watch it, the realization of its worthlessness comes sson enough.

It takes your best time from each mission and adds them up. So no, you don't have to play the whole campaign in one sitting or even in level order.
There are a few caveats though.
1. You can't mix and match different difficulties. MCC will record your best time and score for every mission on every difficulty, but it won't combine times on different difficulties, obviously.
2. Likewise, you also can't merge co-op and solo runthrough times. You can't play Half of Halo CE on legendary solo and half co op and hope for the time achievement.
3. Skulls with 0x multipliers will disable scoring and time related achievemnts. You can however use other skulls to your advantage, such as Boom, Grunt Funeral, Feather, and Sputnik.

Oh, I forgot something very important.
The timer will pause when you hit pause, but it will NOT reset at checkpoints after deaths or checkpoint reverts. This means if you get to a checkpoint with 20 minutes clocked, then you play for exactly another 10 minutes but die before you r3ach another checkpoint, then you will revert to the previous checkpoint you reach at 20 minutes but your timer will count 30 minutes.

Has /hg/ ever actually bought req packs with real money?
What's the most you spent?
Highest tier you bought?
>>146835593
I haven't.
I earned all of mine through blood, sweat, and tears.
So does H5 have the worst ranking system in any halo game?
I ask this because I'm genuinely curious. I'm an onyx/champion player and I decided to play on my friend's account, because he said that no matter how well he performed the game seemed to just keep him in platinum. I figured I would play his 10 games for him and see where he got placed. I ended up playing 11 because during one of the ten the enemy team quit out. Here are the important stats:
10/11 games won
2.17 k/d
2.87 k+a/d
My buddy placed platinum 1 in the previous season
I even went through and kept track of the division of the other players I ended up against (at the end I was exclusively facing diamond/onyx players) - 5 onyx, 16 diamond, 17 platinum, 5 gold, and 1 unranked player.
At the end, I ended up getting placed in platinum 5. I have to ask, /hg/, what is the point in this season nonsense if it seems like it has such a heavy influence over your future games. If your placement resets, shouldn't the previous placement have little impact on your new one? I think the CSR system once you break into Onyx seems solid, but it would seem that the divisions are completely pointless and extremely punishing to new players. I can post more game details as needed/the gamertag I used, but I figured I would check in with you guys. Thanks.

I haven't personally (currently have 160k saved up) but I know a guy who has bought every special pack that's come out and has considered buying the $100 special. He has spent an easy $60 on the in-game market.
>>146835593
I bought the limited edition and got the Warzone pack from that.
I also spent $12 on the Arena bundle when it was on sale.
>>146836523
I was happy enough with the arena bundle, since it gave me some decent cosmetic items.

semi-related, but in slayer playlists they need to drastically reduce the effect of win ratio on rank, I'm sick of getting put in gold because my teammates are shitty or quit out. I shouldn't be dropped in rank just because we lost even though I performed better than anyone on the winning team.

>only 160k
I just hit 800k, get on my level, nerd
