At the very least it's a very solid playing Halo that promises free DLC over time. Doesn't seem like we'll ever have to pay for maps and armor.

Considering picking this up. Been watching a lot of videos and it looks pretty great.

Kalyx triaD 12-02-2015 01:31 PM

Pick it up after the Forge update.

Forgot how pissed I get when I go into Legendary mode. 4 levels left though.

Newest update for the game includes Forge mode and a few new multiplayer maps.

Quote:

The map creation sandbox debuts with some 1,700 objects and will continue to change as 343 Industries takes in feedback from players. Knowing how ridiculously good people have gotten with these tools in prior games, I bet we'll see a bunch of impressive stuff out of the holiday break.

Today's "Cartographer's Gift" update also adds SPNKr rocket launchers, several maps (one for Warzone, one for Overgrowth, and two for Big Team Battle), and more in-depth control options. Well, that, and a ton of other smaller but still important things. Plus fixes for existing content.
List of all the stuff in the update inside the link itself.

Forge will take some getting used to, but it is very much an improvement. Shame I can't test out my stuff with SPLITSCREEN customs.

Time to make friends.

Beat this in Legendary. Ran into two tough spots but that was it. The solo watcher and then when there were 3 of them. The solo one was the worst though by far.

Alot of guys named dog.

Bight this on a whim as I saw it for £25 and wanted something with a lot of buttons that was fast to really get used to the Elite controller. After hating Halo 4, I was pleasantly surprised that they seem to have nailed the feel of this one.

Sucking horribly, but hey, I'm having fun. Cards feel like bullshit for vehicles though.

Kalyx triaD 02-04-2016 09:06 AM

The reqs in warzone are done well enough. Nothing really broken about it yet.

drave 02-25-2016 07:18 AM

This trailer alone kinda makes me wanna get the game

Slowly but surely turning into a halo game. Nice new Forge stuff too.

Recent update by 343 Industries for the game included a couple of tributes for a community member who lost his children from an accident.

Halo 5: Guardians developer 343 Industries has included a tribute for a fan who lost his children in a tragic accident in the latest update.

Community member Adam (thecrzedspartan) lost his two girls, Trinity and Lena, in an electrical fire last month.

To honour Adam’s children, if you look up into the sky whilst playing new map Torque, you’ll see their names written in the stars.
Quote:

“In honor of Adam's family and his daughters, Trinity and Lena, we've created the Spartans Never Walk Alone pack. This pack contains the True Light emblem, which is named after the first initial of each of his daughters' names, and is the first animated emblem to come to Halo 5. All players will receive this pack as part of this month's free update."

How do you rate this, Kalyx?
Personally I think it's my favourite Halo in terms of gameplay and how smooth it feels.
Shame none of my old Halo 3 friends have Xbox's :/

Kalyx triaD 05-16-2016 01:45 PM

Gameplay wise it is easily the best and smoothest. The faster time-to-kill worried me but it is still 'Halo', just faster. I love it.

If it wasn't for the amazing Forge, this might have had the worst maps since Reach multiplayer (launch maps). Forge has put fun maps in there and there's virtually no past maps that can't be remade. Somebody made Containment from Halo 2. If that can be made anything can be made.

Warzone is nice lounge gametype with occasional spurts of close games. I play that most. BTB is BTB. Arena is the most fierce Halo's ever been.

The REQ reward system can go fuck itself but I have a general bias against loot/RNG systems popping up in games. I know what I want, I hate gambling for it.

As you seen I'm diving in to Forge finally and given time, I got some wild stuff coming. So long as I can actually get my guys together.

Won't mention lack of splitscreen, trying to have a good day today.

Extreme Angle 05-19-2016 04:40 AM

I'm not the biggest fan of Warzone, or even big team for that matter... Maybe I just prefer CQC.

I always wear ODST armour which you get from watching Nightfall on the Halo Channel, so the REQ system doesn't really bother me because i've got what I want.

Forge is great. Just waiting on an action sack playlist to have a go at some of the wacky custom games i've seen.

Kalyx triaD 05-19-2016 11:49 AM

They don't have my EOD set and if they added it I'm gambling to get it. Fuck REQ.

I played some Arena last night and promptly paid for avoiding it with my blood. Will take a bit to adjust.

Ruien 05-19-2016 09:44 PM

War zone is fun. Hate how you can't get rid of certification on crap that I don't want like the Mongoose or the shitty ghost. It's like I am being punished for getting more packs.

Extreme Angle 05-20-2016 03:26 AM

Forge is coming to Windows 10, I guess we can expect a reveal at E3 for the full game?

Kalyx triaD 05-20-2016 01:17 PM

I was just thinking of such a thing.

While the new forge controls excellent, I imagine doing it on a PC would open it up for more people.

WrestleRacer91 04-24-2019 02:25 PM

This game gets so much crap but I enjoy(ed) it.

Kalyx triaD 04-24-2019 03:58 PM

It's aight. Forge is still amazing.
