Just to think it's been 25 years...

Good choice, I vote Nihon. The investigation was me.

SD did it. Kill him!

YOshi1176, I will pay you $14.43 if you let me be Warden Internal

DMR is 5 shots, sir. Carbine is 7, 6 only breaks the shields. (Not a loadout weapon, so this shouldn't matter.) Also, SMG is 20 shots AR is 16.

10/10, dat sexy MKV @

4/12, -2 for posting before I could reply to Melody and give her a 6/10.

Nope, shields drop just fine for me. You should definitely find people to play with though, since Halo 5 does circulate around team playing. That's probably why you die so fast, you're just going out on your own. That, or you're lagging a lot.

Fiesta is in Team Arena

Yup, that's exactly how I picture Mr Sar Wart to look like. ggnore

What.

Alrighty, great event you guys. Thanks for playing you guys! It wasn't as eventful as the last two years, but it was plenty of fun. It even lasted 4 hours! (1 less than the other two events) Thanks a lot for attending, New Team won this time, making the score 2-1. Alrighty, now for the list of those who attended and then one who gets to take home the mystery gift. ($3 Gift Card, enough for a Gold Pack!) Ardent Prayer Ni Nihon Drizzy_Dan Edward Kenway Yoshi1176 fattwam Bnus Sparky The Dumb Marine Orbis Also, as always. I did a RNG generator, and the numbers that matched 3 times in a row, between the numbers 1 and 10 selected the winner. Each player was listed, exactly as the list is above. 1 starting with Ardent Prayer and 10 ending with Orbis... The number that matched 3 times first, goes to Number 9, The Dumb Marine!

Alphabetized (English) the list Miscellaneous: Resolved an issue that occurred when switching profiles on the new Xbox One dashboard while Halo 5 was suspended Fixed an issue that caused various Campaign Service Record stats to appear incorrect or as zero after a completed playthrough

Simple solution, exploit the map yourself and get out there and kill the exploiter with the ball so the game can continue. If you don't know about it, and the match has 8 minutes. This 1 minute video is enough time to figure it out. However, yes it does needs patched. But you're gonna have to wait until March now for it to be fixed.

Alongside the Hammer Storm update, it seems to appear we got a True Light update that's available to ALL players in-game. This small update includes an emblem and what could be referred to sad easter eggs. For those of you don't know, probably because it's on Waypoint, I'll post below quotes from Joshingtonstate: 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 Link of the Source

So the other day Sparky and I were talking about a UNSC Aircraft being included into Halo 5, as they said in the Sprint that they had plans of including a UNSC Aircraft but it didn't make it in. Anyways, as Spark and I went through and dug up some research we found this: http://i.imgur.com/Q8qtRkJ.png Believe it or not, we're getting a UNSC Aircraft finally!

My bad, it wasn't an attachment. It was a skin, however I assume there will be a new attachment.

So in the March Update Teaser which is revealed here: We see a few new things. New armor, looks like EOD but is not. New weapon skin, presumably shark and piranha As well as new weapon attachments. What we also see is a NEW WARZONE MAP and a NEW SUPPRESSOR, with the Shatter Skin. We also see what appears to be a NEW MANTIS, which has what seems to be a railgun replacing the chaingun, coincided with the rocket pod. It appears to have a new skin with a crawler emblem on the the side. Thoughts on the update teaser?

I'll take Number 6, please.

I TOLD YOU GUYS! I'M THE REAL BARON 'SRAOM!

Bungie patched it? Never knew that. However, a glitch is a glitch. All known glitches were patched in the Halo 2 anniversary maps as well as most of the "Classic" Halo 2 glitches cannot be performed due to the frame rate change.

Well then that's life, you still joined the game and quit. If something was coming up, but you didn't know when. You should've took the precautions and not have done it. Also, every person on Waypoint who claims they were banned for no reason have a reason. Just view their game histories, they'll usually have a couple DNF's. One of those matches from being a life-relative reason to quit. Oh well. Like I said before, you have to quit THREE matches in order to get banned. I don't care what your excuse is, if you've quit THREE matches for life-related reasons. You should've stopped playing all together, because something was gonna happen again. I don't care what the reason is, if you quit. You deserve the ban. You should either finish what you started, or don't start at all. Quitters are the reason why the fun games are ruined. As he stated though, his friend was booted and then banned as well as he was because he QUIT the game to join his friend's fireteam. Therefore his quitting deserved him a ban. Also, here's his Game history for reference: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-5-guardians/xbox-one/mode/arena/matches/43be399b-f734-4202-af59-18f8df90028a/players/mosesofwar?gameHistoryMatchIndex=5&gameHistoryGameModeFilter=All
