With the Infinity's Armor update just around the corner, let's all take a moment to try and predict what all the blurred Requisitions are in the photo above! I'll post my list, and feel free to agree / disagree with me on any item. Armor (skins): Two Atlas Variants One Gungnir Variant One Stalker Variant Weapon (skins): Vault Boy Colored Skins Wolf Magnum Boomco. Assault Rifle Blaster Orange Flame Skins (?) 'Murica Skin Scratched Magnum Skin Visor: Something that resembles Olympia Vale's visor Stances: Stance 1: Holding Spartan Laser, ready to assault. Stance 2: Holding an AR, posed as if walking into the battlefield. Assassinations: Assassination 1: They try to attack you, but you counter and make them stab themselves. Assassination 2: Something reminiscent of the classic Red vs. Blue "Grif in a headlock". Warzone Weapons: Mythic Battle Rifle - Probably a Halo 2 or Halo 3 Variant Two Carbine Variants - One acting like a Needle Rifle Emblems: I have no idea. Alright everyone, that's my list. What do you all think? Any different opinions? Source of photo: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/infinitys-armory-preview-2

How many years minimum do you need to have been on the site to be fighting for the team of elders?

Name: Leonard C. Connor Age: 27 Type of Soldier: Engineer Weapon of Preference: Primary: The M6D Magnum (For field combat) If you need a backstory for this one, just PM me. I've got it all down. Secondary: Rail-Gun (For emergencies only) Melee: Blow torch (This thing will really hurt at the end of the day) Armor Abilities: Drop Shield -- The Halo: Reach styled regenerative over time kind of shield. Characteristics: Hair Color: Black Gender: Male Personality Traits: Normally shy, very quiet when he's near Spartans, as they intimidate him. Can get angry easily, causing that timidness to wither away, feels guilty after he gets angry, since it's something that can be uncontrollable and can make him think differently as if it's the heat of the moment and a life or death situation. Giving him something to do or work on normally calms him down. General Mood: Shy Combat Wounds: Diagonal scar across the chest - Plasma scarring Handicaps: Prosthetic left hand -- Still hasn't gotten very used to it, so some of his moves can be clunky or wonky when it comes to combat. Favorite Hobby: Reverse engineering vehicles of Sangheili or possible Promethean origin. Social: Shy, but normally laid back when he's comfortable and feeling like talking more. Extra Details: Often questions a lot of things to himself but in the end, will probably do what he was told anyway.

It's about time you got the title you deserved, buddy! We all knew you'd end up in Pink one day! ....As a matter of fact, we also weren't sure when, as with every member, but I can absolutely ensure you we were preparing a party every month for you, just in case. You are the Offbeat king, my friend. Keep it classy.

In my opinion, I'm pretty much fine with Halo 5's armor customization. Although, I did love what Reach had to offer, there is more than just armor that really comes into play, aesthetic wise. Halo 5, aside from armor sets, will feature the following cosmetic items; Armor / Weapon Skins, Assassination Animations, Stances, and on the rare occasion - Vehicle skins. And on top of that, everything that is seen can be earned in game through extensive play (like Reach), so I'm honestly perfectly fine with it. I kind of look at it like, one step forward, but two steps back. Sure, we're limited armor wise, but there is just so much more that comes into play. TL;DR - Halo 5 has my vote.

Ultimate power has surely been unleashed... Congrats Ash, nice to see another member join the moderating team! The website is now one step closer to safety and prosperity.

CoD does outsell Halo, that is pure fact. But if you're looking at what CoD is now doing, it's trying to morph into a little bit of every genre of shooter. Once they stepped into the future territory, that was their chance to start taking concepts from other games, like Titanfall, Halo... Any sci-fi shooter out there, without making it look like their just mooching off of those concepts. Halo borrowed Ground Pound from a certain move in Titanfall (Something similar to ground pound) - But it made it seem easier to work. Honestly, in my opinion, Halo is just fine. It's fresh, it plays great, and on top of all of that it's just fun. It's not too hard to operate, it's actually really simple once you get around the learning curve. If anything, everyone will benefit much better by judging the game after at least a month of it being out. Now.. I'd appreciate it if my news thread had become less of a house toward debate.. :

Tim Longo has confirmed in the Warzone ViDoc that anything you unlock that is cosmetic will carry over to both Arena and Warzone. But any variants will not for the sake of balance. EDIT: I edited the original post to fix the "Silence" issue.

Banned for assuming he took it literally.

​Space magic, precisely.

I am very wary of this fact and will try my absolute best to be here as much as I can. Not in an obsessive way, but in a healthy way. You can expect to see me tons around here though.

Anyone around here been wondering what types of items we can see within the new REQ pack reward system? Well, luckily there is a site out there that posted additional photos and information about these weapons. All sources linked below this post. First up, we have the GameStop exclusive rifle. Here, we have the BR85 service rifle decorated in the Bloodthirst battle rifle skin, with a laser target and scope! This weapon has extra accuracy. Our next weapon comes straight from the Amazon pre-order. This is the SMG, with a Long-barrel and the skin called Potence! It is assumed this weapon has longer range. Next up, for those of you who pre-ordered directly from Best Buy, you will be given the Longshot Assault Rifle with a Recoil Compensator. Decorated with the Steel skin! This weapon has less recoil. And for anyone here who pre-ordered from the Microsoft store, you will be given one of the coolest looking weapons I've ever laid eyes on... The Recon Assault Rifle with an Energy Bayonet, decorated with the Lagrange skin! This weapon has a buff on melee attacks. As of now, there is still one weapon that doesn't have a pre-order location yet, and that is the Recon DMR, with a silencer and decorated with the Clash skin! This weapon is suppressed, and most likely will not have many effects due to it. And for anyone who is worried about never getting these, don't fret! Josh has confirmed that you can indeed, get these skins in variations from normal playtime. All you need is a little luck with your REQ packs.

I'll do all I can to try and remain here.

I'd be honored to participate. And I'll keep Ricco Harbor in mind, it's been a while since I forged a map.

Hey everyone. I know that some of you must know me, the older members at least. I really wouldn't expect a newer member to remember me, given I'm barely here anymore oppose to how much I used to be here in the past. And lately, I've been making more frequent visits, lurking among the shadows of the forum just to see that all of you are safe and okay. Because despite how distant I have gotten I still care about every single one of you, dearly. You guys were all my friends, and I still see you as friends, even if we don't talk often. With this member ranking structure update, I've come back with the goal to get to Legendary status, yes. Who wouldn't have that goal? But I just want all of you to know that me coming back isn't just because of a fancy color and title. It's because I miss this place, I truly do. I miss the countless hours of fun in the shoutbox. The events. The members. The moderators. ...Art week.. The one thing I did for this forum that no other succeeded at. Everything in this place that you can even imagine, because the possibilities are endless with the creativity and devotion of all of you. But at the same time, I find it hard to come back, because as I grow older I'm starting to do different things. I'm starting to get more and more friends outside of my digital life. I have parents that are slowly starting to rely on me, because sooner or later I'll be the one taking the torch. And most of all, I've just gotten so many priorities to the point where I don't know where to start. I would sit here and make another promise to come back, and stay back. But at the same moment, I can't. Because I don't know where my life is going to take me. I just go day by day, and whatever happens is going to happen. I have a goal to try and come back, because I feel that I need to do it for all of you. You all showed me how fun it is to be within a community. And with the time I was here, I was at my peak of happiness. And ever since I left, I feel like that happiness just left. And on top of that, you all are amazing people that I miss being around. Because this place is diverse, and flowing with as much cheeriness and prosperity as possible. And it's amazing how no matter what happens here, that mood maintains. I don't know if this is a thank-you, a speech, or even a declaration of home-coming. But I know one thing, and that is for sure. I should be here, and I should be doing as much as I can to pay back all the respect, and kindness I've received over these two years. But rather, I'm sitting and thinking of what to do, rather than just doing what I should've been doing this entire time - ..Just being here. I owe it to all of you, to be here. Because you all cleared up my dark and stormy nights. No matter how little interaction you had. I will come back, because I know I have to. And I know I've said this before, but at the time I was too incompetent and immature to understand. But now I do, and I will apply as much effort as possible to be able to be here. Not only for myself, but for all of you. Thanks for the wild ride these past two years. And let's look forward to the roller coasters ahead. - The Friendly A.I Here's some complementary art, for all of you.

Challenge accepted...

Just to quickly, and cleanly clarify - We are NOT the legitimate 343 Industries. We are a community forum who are very big fans of Halo, and other games in the industry. I mean, of course. You are entitled to your opinion and that is a good opinion, if you ask me. But just at least be wary of the fact that we are just fans. You can always use the official split-screen thread on Waypoint to show your disgust towards the issue. Thanks, and best regards. - T.I.M
