Halo 5: Guardians Discussion

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.

That kind of stuff is so minor in the grand scheme of things though.

I honestly thought the Railgun was hella strong in its current state. It didn't need a buff in the slightest.

 

If there was any gun that needed re-balancing in this update it should have been the Storm Rifle.

• Add three more shots to completely drain a shield (would take a fraction of a second to get the three additional shots off at its current fire-rate)
• Significantly reduce the amount of health damage it depletes by like 60%.
• Increase the amount of shots before cooldown (Increase magazine size so to speak).

The ground pound thing will probably just be faster activation time and faster fall speed.

Heads up: I counted 5 spartans in the Warzone Firefight teaser. Looks like we aren't limited to just 4 man co-op

Seeing as it was just a teaser, I would assume it will be 8-12 players since it is still classified as Warzone. That is just what I am thinking though so we'll have to wait and see.

Railgun was already better than rockets. If anything needed a buff it was that.

So stoked for Warzone Firefight.

How? Those are huge and even bigger once you look at higher levels of play. The depth of the game is completely different with each game. Fundamentals are huge

Just finished the update, checking out CE pistol right now

It was. It was a one hit rocket sniper that spawned way too quickly with too much ammo imo.

I'm at 50%. Add me and we can run customs with it when it's done.

Well I was getting "Unable to match" in social flag so I don't know about a better player experience. 

 

Halo 2 and 3 did not have background ranks in the social playlists btw. 

Ahh, I thought at least one of those two did...

 

What they need to do is have it widen the search criteria faster, and take whatever it can get if a match isn't found quickly enough... But I don't think it's a good idea to throw out all skill matching in Social. If low tier players keep getting pure-randomly paired against onyx+, they'll come to hate the game in a heartbeat.

12 man war zone FF please

I have you added. I can't find it in customs :/ but I see it in forge

[Moa]

CE Pistol is a starting weapon option.

That didn't stop people from playing H3,Reach,H4,or MCC.

If anyone is playing CE pistol customs later on, add me.

Are the REQs available to unlock yet? Asking the real questions here. 

[S0UL FLAME]

Somebody please test the CE Magnum thoroughly. Aim assist, bullet mag, draw time, reload time, the works.

 

Thank you.

[Cooper]

Very impressive update 343.

I haven't found info on H2, but it looks like H3 did:

The hype is real

What is this? Is there animated emblems?
