Haemorrhage Posted February 24, 2016 I really hope this isn't related to the announcement today... Halo in Minecraft is just meh... Halo skins already exist in the Xbox 360 and Xbox One version of Minecraft. Quote Share this post Link to post
SweetNSavery Posted February 24, 2016 So the update coming out today would be a good guess?I'm betting it'll be either Halo Wars or MCC news. Quote Share this post Link to post
Moa Posted February 24, 2016 So the update coming out today would be a good guess? I don't doubt the update is coming today, but I think it's something else. Quote Share this post Link to post
EagleBurn Posted February 24, 2016 I think it's going to be an Infection announcement. Quote Share this post Link to post
Hot Juicy Pie Posted February 24, 2016 Good thing they are buffing the Spartan Laser They are kills with ground vehicles, mongeese, hogs, ghosts, etc... Destroying vehicles we've already completed. Quote Share this post Link to post
zZunair Posted February 24, 2016 You're splitting hairs though. Especially considering the things you listed only hold true at high level play for a tiny minority of people. It's not like this stuff wasn't known to players outside of level 50s/onyx level. This was how players played the game. Any somewhat competent player understands the BR doesn't work well in mid to long in h3. Which, well, forced standard aggression of moving forward (or complete passive play) Most players in h2 at like level 25 up knew the weapon spawn, call outs any players emphasizing team shot was a big thing at most level. Hell I remember memorizing call outs in 4th grade and I sucked lol. I think you're discrediting players being able to critically think, a lot of people are able to do it even in lower levels of play.

TTUVAPOR Posted February 24, 2016 It's nothing wrong with the game, it's essentially what issues I have with smash Bros melee. I've played the game for far too long and would prefer to play something different. It doesn't mean I dislike the game or anything necessarily, it's just the game has been out since 2001 and I would like to play something different. that's definitely an agreement i have. vo0 and other quake pros are really hoping for a new arena dm game but to be honest, nothing has really been able to topple quake, unless its niche games on steam that barely have a community. I like. halo 5 but i think it needs to go back to the core... it's like a keg of untapped potential. Quote Share this post Link to post
Moa Posted February 24, 2016 Dunno how long its been there for but Torque is showing up on the API and so are the following weapons: "Halo One Pistol", "Gravity Hammer" and "Ball". Quote Share this post Link to post
Moa Posted February 24, 2016 New playlists showing up in the API too. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post
Infinity Posted February 24, 2016 Hopefully Social SWAT and Social Slayer replace their Ranked counterparts. Duplicate playlists would be super annoying. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
TonyDHFC Posted February 24, 2016 Dunno how long its been there for but Torque is showing up on the API and so are the following weapons: "Halo One Pistol", "Gravity Hammer" and "Ball". Looks like a fucking water gun in a waterfight porno set in the 90s. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
xSociety Posted February 24, 2016 If the Assault variant allows for Oddball to be created why wouldn't they just create it and put it in MM? How soon do the new playlist/gametypes show up in the API to the new update normally? Quote Share this post Link to post

NavG123 Posted February 24, 2016 New playlists showing up in the API too. Seems like these are all supposed to be individual playlists. Wonder what the idea behind it is, given the population is what it is. casual, judgment-free zone And it also seems like THEY FIGURED OUT HOW TO ADJUST THEIR MATCHMAKING PARAMETERS. :weback: halo is sev boys Quote Share this post Link to post
xSociety Posted February 24, 2016 So the pistol can be fired in automatic, and it's hitscan. Oh no. Quote Share this post Link to post
iTz 26 Posted February 24, 2016 Hopefully Social SWAT and Social Slayer replace their Ranked counterparts. Duplicate playlists would be super annoying. Ranked and Social Slayer would be fine. But not Ranked/Social SWAT, that is just pointless in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post
Haruko Posted February 24, 2016 https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/spartans-never-walk-alone BY JOSHINGTONSTATE - 21 MINUTES AGO Last month we learned about a community member's tragic loss. Adam (aka thecrzedspartan) and his wife Rebecca lost their daughters Trinity and Lena when their lives were claimed by an electrical fire in their family home. As a father, I can only imagine the heartache and pain caused by this loss. In the days following the tragedy, it was inspiring to see the Halo community come together to support Adam and Rebecca in a variety of ways. 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. As well we have included a special feature in our new Arena map, Torque. As players look up and scan the stars above, the names Trinity and Lena will be visible in the night sky. These are but small gestures meant to honor Adam's daughters, ensuring that their memories are always close at hand within the universe he loves. /Josh 22 Quote Share this post Link to post
-DeucEy- Posted February 24, 2016 Maybe the update today will be the fact that there are actual social playlist now? Because otherwise the playlist don't make any sense. Quote Share this post Link to post
Haemorrhage Posted February 24, 2016 Can someone please explain to me the point of these so called "Social" playlists? Why bother having, Social CTF, Socal Slayer, Social Assault etc. without ranks. They playlists just end up being tryhard pubstomping anyways. I hate to break it to you, but simply removing the ranks does not make a playlist "Social". Making a Social gametypes, makes it Socal. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
-DeucEy- Posted February 24, 2016 They made the Railgun BETTER?! My god... Well.. I know Fathom is going to start to piss me off now. One of the few maps I actually didn't have a lot problems with outside of that damn power weapon. Quote Share this post Link to post
