Reinstalled Halo 5 yesterday enjoyed my first day back. I’ve been woeful trying to get back into it but this helped

Who else misses the old Shield Charging sound?

Posted: 16 Feb 2018 06:26 PM PST

I barely even hear the charging of my shields in the latest game, simply because it feels so generic, so basic. The extent to which I hear is 'okay, my shields are done.'

But the original sound just gave me this fuzzy feeling, even if only slight. That warbling thrum was so very recognisable, more so than any of the newer sounds.

Lost in the nostalgia

I've been frustrated with SW Battlefront II multiplayer so I decided to give H5 a shot. This streak I had got me hooked.

Haven’t played since Halo 3. Just got a One X and MCC and Halo 5 today. WTF! Forge is inane!

Posted: 16 Feb 2018 07:42 PM PST

I haven't touched forge or custom games since the good old Halo 3 Days. I played Reach and ODST but only for the campaign. I played 4 and managed to play 5 on my friend's Xbox when it came out to keep up with the story since I love Halo but got a PS4.

Wtf! Forge in Halo 5 is insane. All I wanna do is play custom games.

Seriously this is amazing. How is it so good? What are the funnest custom games to find in the browser?

IMO there should be armor that CANNOT be bought via microtransactions in the next Halo.

Posted: 16 Feb 2018 02:00 PM PST

I used to love earning armor in Halo, as well as earning a rank. Both of those gameplay aspects got kinda shit on in Halo 5. There's no challenge and this lowers a game's replay value quite a lot for some of the players. I played the literal shit out of Halo 3 and Halo: Reach, I disappeared for Halo 4, and I struggled to load up Halo 5.

There's no replay value, and wanting me to pull out my wallet isn't gonna fix that. I don't want shit just thrown at me because I got lucky with a loot box. I would think there are many others who agree.

I have a proposal for the current xtransaction situation. How about the loot crates give skinned versions of armors, different versions of an armor after you've unlocked the original armor itself through gameplay?

Can you imagine getting all the achievements for the Katana in Halo 3, then being able to change it to a different sword? I would welcome cosmetic microtransactions in Halo if there were still challenges in order to even obtain armor in the game first.

I despise the voting system of MCC

Posted: 16 Feb 2018 10:40 PM PST

I know some of you have to feel this way. When you're queuing up a game of Halo 2 or 3 and Team BRs comes up, of course the overwhelming majority just HAS to pick Team Slayer....Just got done playing Team Slayer on Lockout and it was exhausting. It's almost painful spawning without a precision weapon. SMG and AR gameplay is so spastic IDK how anybody can enjoy it. I'm not sure how somebody would willingly put themselves through the waterboarding that is known as "Team Slayer"...Just had to get that off my chest, let me know if you feel the same pain! :D

A few things I feel 343 did right with halo 5

Posted: 16 Feb 2018 01:48 PM PST

I do not like many aspects of halo 5 and I feel a good percentage of people agree, so I would like to point out a few good things so that they hopefully don't go unnoticed for the next halo game.
It would be criminal if the Swords of Sanghelios are neglected in halo 6, I really love the faction and hope it is used. The few missions that you had elites helping in halo 3 was awesome and it was disappointing how little they helped in halo 5. I was really hyped to meet the Swords but then they really only help when your trying to save the Arbiter. I don't believe I've seen it mentioned here but the reward for doing the "Enemy of my Enemy" achievement is that the surviving storm soldiers ally with you against the prometheans in the next area. I think this is a really cool concept that hasn't been in halo before in this way, it can't be implemented in much but it was awesome completing the achievement to be awarded with help from the enemy. It's like if the help from the flood in halo 3 was optional. When I first found out that all weapons had ADS it was really awesome seeing all the different designs and animations for when you used it in different weapons, BUT I feel that that is all they should be, designs and animations, it gives them more personality then in previous games where it was mostly just zoom with your visor/hud, but for some weapons I think it affects gameplay to much. I've seen plenty of debates about armors and such so I won't go into the looks, but I do love that each piece has at least a little lore with it. I am glad that people are vocal about what they do and don't want in the next halo because I see a lot of passion behind a lot of it, halo means a lot to me and I wrote this to hopefully show that somewhat. I want 343 to know that there is some middle ground, as in not everything is perfect or ruined, in the love them vs hate them debate. Sorry this is probably long and hideous, I'm new to reddit and on mobile.

Halo 5 Country Flag weapons skins release delayed indefinitely

Posted: 16 Feb 2018 02:30 PM PST

This week we were putting the finishing touches on plans to release a small collection of decorative national flag skins for the UK, Australia, Canada, Mexico and the United States, but in light of the seriousness of the current climate, and with input and feedback from some of our regional partners, we have decided to delay the release indefinitely.

Lots of folks worked hard to make the decorative decals, and we know that players were anticipating them in the spirit of fun and competition in which they were originally intended, however, we feel that releasing these items now would be inappropriate. The rest of our HaloWC tournament activity will continue as planned, and we'd like to take this moment to say simply, "be good to each other."

Anyone remember the nerd rap group "futuristic sex robotz"? They were amazing. This halo track was dropped in 2006. I believe several of the members went onto work at bungie after this album was released. :)

Posted: 16 Feb 2018 09:51 PM PST

What is the most impressive thing you’ve done across all the bungie games?

Halo: Silentium is my favorite story in the Halo Universe ever

Posted: 16 Feb 2018 01:12 PM PST

Ever since the Halo Universe began, everyone has their favorite story in the franchise. While I love the majority of the installments, there's one that has always stuck out above all the others. That one is Halo: Silentium, which I say is the best story in the Halo Universe ever. Greg Bear wrote nothing short of an absolute masterpiece. The story has such heavy weight and emotion. It's such a sad end to the Forerunner-Flood War, with so much lost. I love where Greg took the characters, especially the main three: the Ur-Didact, Librarian, and IsoDidact. I never felt an installment in the Halo Universe was a satisfactory as this one, and would recommend to everyone read it, both fans of Halo and readers in general. All I have to say is, thank you so much Greg Bear!!
