Has anyone seen what weapons we can spawn with in custom games yet?

My digital copy seemed to download the patch earlier today but if I go to "Manage game" it still says 46.2 GB. Do I need to re-install the game or what? 

 

I don't even know if my patch downloaded then. Mine says 46.2 as well

[Mr Grim]

That doesn't even make sense. Of course the lengthy respawn time will exacerbate the downtime problem, because there's nobody on the friggin map.

uh, yeah you're right.

Goofy said he'll be streaming around 2AM CST. Too bad i'll be asleep by then

Saw its a bug, it may or may not actually show you the correct number (56GB). Pretty much as long as you install it today, you should be good. I would keep your Xbox on instant on to be safe.

It's looking like pros are getting their codes at midnight PST.

3 months straight? Damn.

[My Namez BEAST]

Well, I've noticed that SWAT has some terribleeeeee spawns.

[Shekkles]

I did some thinking and I found out why I am interested in this game, but also why I am skeptical about it. 343 have done everything I have wanted for years (For Halo 5):

 

- Interaction with the community

- Dev/Publisher backed tournaments

- Changed things based on feedback

- Early beta

- Dedicated servers

- For the first time ever, got the previous Halo game and refined the crap out of it to make it more balanced and competitive.

 

The problem with all of this is, they based all of that refining on Halo 4. That's where the problem is. They've done everything I want, they just used Halo 4 as a base. If only developers had done that for Halo 2/3/R/4 at the time. 

 

In my opinion that is.

[SuperORANGE]

Some of the text is even from the 4 and it actually grinds my gears a bit...

Is the deal still going on where you can trade in your controller for the Halo 5 one?

[RyanW]

Ccream and whoever has been in his skype with him, Jericho i think his name was, he's off now. And some of the ones earlier that had over 1k viewers. I've personally never heard of any of these people, but they have huge ass followings on twitch.

 

And I personally dont care about their opinions because I've never heard of them, but they have a lot of people watching/listening to them.

Really? I was watching Jericho play with Hutch earlier and he was having a blast

Edit: Goofy just said they will probably be playing customs tonight sooo looks like i'm pulling an all nighter  :ghost:

[My Namez BEAST]

Also, SWATnums looks 10x more difficult than regular SWAT. They really should've made that the standard especially since they are ranking it.

I hate to ask again, but when it the Pro embargo lifted? It's hard to gage times in Australia due to there being 400 different names for timezones. Is it 1 hour away, 2? 12?

I do not understand why 343 didn't give out this information. I understand that the "casual" crowd couldn't care less and probably don't even know that custom game options exists, but why not put this info in a paragraph on their weekly Waypoint updates or something? I would have been a lot more excited in the last month if I knew all these options were there.
