  4. A video explaining the tragic events that have recently happened to wonderful Halo community Youtuber TheCrazedSpartan:

      I was supposed to interview him back in 2014 he was an extremely nice guy the entire process. Sadly I never published the interview(and no longer have the .doc file anymore either)

      When it feels like we're finally getting somewhere life steps in, and reminds us that we were never in control.

       

      I hope the guy pulls through.

  5. Actually in Breakout most players actually use gamechat. I've havent been in a single Halo 5 game since launch where I at least didnt find one person communicating with me in game. Also out of all the Arena gamemodes ANY and ALL Breakout matches are heavily effected by the loss of one person because even your contribution as a distraction can be a deciding factor in a match. I agree with the redundancy I find that fairly odd. I guess its to make up for the current lack of objective modes in Halo 5? Hopefully they remove it in future updates because Breakout can be fairly niche.

  7. The video was obviously satire and poking fun at the people who overly complain. I love that 343i isn't pandering to us. By all means make fun of the fans who complain. If you are offended by a satircal video then it might be best if you reevaluate yourself. A satirical video isnt the place to address concerns about the REQ system. If you have any questions or concerns 343i has dozens of way for you to ask them. I know you find what they did offensive but it isnt like they brushed you under the rug. You can still discuss the REQ system and they will listen(although the majority of the Halo community quite likes the system so I don't believe it is going away for the next game)
  8. Did you post this on r/Halo too because I saw this there too. I haven't had time to use the API yet but thanks for this I'm sure it will come in handy when I finally get around to it
  9. You can get REQ points by playing Arena Just play Warzone or Arena. Earn REQ points and when you have 10k just buy the Gold Pack. Or you can spend $2.99 instead but earning 10k REQ points is easy just do that instead.
  10. This is my favorite thing about Halo 5 because the movement mechanics finally make me feel like I'm a genetically enhanced super soldier. I can zip around, get to locations in a fluid motion, and combat engagements feel so amazing now since you have more options then just strafe shoot n nades.
  11. That is because you get 2 packs every week until all 14 are out. You will get 2 more next week.
  12. The Plasma Caster has never been in any other game except Halo 5. Same with the Forerunner Turret or Mobile Gauss Turret.
  13. Im curious too I am not sure why. Maybe its an offensive word in another language? Or some sort of slang?
  14. I don't know about a clan but how about a company? http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/41775-343i-community-forum-spartan-company/?do=findComment&comment=376196
  15. This isn't a spoiler since we know they're confirmed to not be in the game but theyre not. Brutes are gonna be in Halo Wars 2 though! And I'm sure the Flood aren't done yet
  16. Forge won't be coming out till December due to it not being fully finished when the game was slated for release. source: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/building-the-biggest-forge-yet
  17. Halo 5's campaign while an improvement over Halo 4 in some respects leaves a lot to be desired.

      I'd actually argue that in terms of story Halo 4 actually surpassed Halo 5. But in terms of actual levels, Halo 5 did better.

      I just watched the cut-scenes......disappointed to say the least.

      The only thing I get frustrated about is that the Spartan AI is absolutely terrible on legendary. Everything else is great so far. (I'm at level 9 I think)

  18. Halo 5 spoilers are all over the internet now. A lot of them come in form of pictures of the ending cutscene. Travel safe.

      You forgot to say that if there's any here, you should report it, but make sure you have your eyes closed so you don't see it

      Also due to College the YT channel is on the backburner as my focus is Halo 5 and launch events.

      I couldn't fit it into the status update but we have the Halo 5 livestream hosted by the mods too!

  20. This is the big deal part here. It isn't that 343i couldn't implement Split-Screen its that the current generation of consoles simply are not powerful enough to maintain a high resolution and 60FPS. It is easy to say "Give us split-screen even if the game has to run at 30FPS during split-screen!" and heck I wouldn't mind that either, but the reality is there are much larger implications then just lowering the framerate. i'll run over a couple of scenarios why this most likely isn't possible. 1.)The games physics and mechanics could be tied to the Framerate Since the game is going to be running at a constant 60FPS that means the experience of Halo 5 is fundamentally tied to this. This could be scripted events, cutscenes, actual mechanics, etc. There have been some games where the game physics are tied to the Framerate(The last Need For Speed game that came out for example) and when people doubled the framerate by changing the files the ENTIRE games speed doubled. Cars went twice as fast, flew twice as far, the same logic applies to lowering the framerate. Now I do not believe 343i developers made such a fatal mistake like this since no other Halo game has had this problem but remember that as a possibility. 2.)It could do more harm to the image of the game. Similar to what I said above the experience of Halo 5 could be tied to framerate in a different way. It could very well be that having the game run at 30FPS ruins the player experience more then you might believe. This could tarnish the public reception of the game and hurt sells. Also to the uneducated consumer(which is a lot of the people who buy games) they might not know that Split-Screen will make the game run at 30FPS and they start the game by playing split-screen and their first impression could very well ruined because they were expecting a better performing product. This could lead to them returning the game and not recommending it to friends which leads to more lost sales. I'm not going to like the fact Split-Screen was removed because I don't. I do like how constructive your post was and that you remained positive and offered a solution compared to most other people who just complain. Thanks for that its nice While we won't have Split-Screen for Halo 5 there are some alternatives you could try to still achieve a "co-op" experience. It won't be the same but its still a way of having two people engaged and actively playing. 1.)You each use one half of the controller. Seriously this is so much fun! I do this with my girlfriend a lot since she is not good at games whatsoever and we have a blast. She normally gets the left half and I'll get the right and we have even managed to play through most of Wolfenstein The New Order like this. Sure you won't have that same level of finesse you get with two controllers but this is a nice gimmick that could result in a lot of funny bad communication moments. 2.)You take turns. As simple as it sounds. Just take turns with the controller. I don't recommend the "everytime you die we switch" method. Rather use a timer in intervals like 10 - 15 minutes and be serious about it. Don't say things like "just one extra minute!" because then you ruin it for the other person. You could also take turns playing missions or MP matches like "every 3 CTF matches we switch" or just switch after every campaign mission.
  21. It is my understanding that the weapon model numbers are identical to those used during the events of TFoR and if someone could provide a source that contradicts that go ahead but we know how well 343i has been with maintaining lore I do not think they would make an oversight mistake like that, and if they did oh well it doesn't matter or bother me.
  22. If you're interested in joining the Breakout League but can't find a team just comment on this status update and I will group you in teams. You must be getting Halo 5 on release week.

      I wouldn't mind being paced on a team. Getting the game at midnight on the 27th. I just don't know how many designated games I could make it to with being in college and working.

  23. Warzone is the Firefight/Spartan-Ops replacement for this installment of Halo. If that doesn't fill your needs then be vocal about how you would like to see Firefight return for Halo 6! That isn't true. A very small number of fans wanted Firefight and Spartan-Ops back. More fans wanted Arena and 343i gave us Arena. Warzone is the current replacement for those two modes and we should happy because its everything that made those two gamemodes great with even more stuff!
