Oh dang, well goes to show that the hammer of bans does not discriminate. Shame to see him go he did a lot and I liked him.

I have been reading up on these new creatures (the Covenant's Aliens races are based upon animals from our planet) 343I has the hastags for team Chief and team Locke and inside sources confirm that these are part of another story line (think ODST for covies) with the #otterteam as hashtag.

HOLY MACARONI, THOSE ARE OTTER LIFE FORMS!

This was one of the problems witth the Halo 4 campaig and I had the same problem, you have to restart that level. Sorry to tell ya buddy. Seems the save of that checkpoint has been corrupted in some way.

Dude that skull that you had to jump trough holograms in a certain order, how could anyone ever find that on its own.

Well, it was difficult, I had to do the third skull multiple times with splitscreen, my bro saw it on his screen, I couldn't see it on my screen, it was terrible.

See you on the battlefield, sign me up.

I would have never thought, that I would make an impact on someone on a internet forum, at least big enough to get a mention. I am doing fine and while my boss blocked netflix, the site is still free, life caught up to me and college has been stressfull, running a guild in ESO is quite stressfull as well. But besides that: IT IS GREAT TO SEE YOU BACK FISHY!

In al fairness, big boss ain't solid snake and while his character development is focused upon this. Changing the voice actor was a strange choice, but as someone who has been and still is a long time fan of the series, they picked a great voice voor big boss. Not to mention that there are rumors that Solid Snake will make an appearance. If you play ground zeroes you will notice that this snake is not the Solid snake or naked snake we know. Keither Sutherland delivers a unique voice to an already unique character. Give it a shot, ya might like it.

343I stated that they wanted to give spartans the feeling of being a walking tank. To even the playing field while yet keeping the individual progress of getting your own play style. Some people will focus on the ground pound others on other options like locomotion. I think of what I have seen in the beta, spartans ould easy out manouver an elite. So Elites need their own way of movement, the covenant is a force to be reckoned with or else humanity would not have had trouble with them all. They're going into a direction I quite like, because for the first time I felt like a genuine super soldier.

ESO was never meant to feel like Skyrim, as someone who has been playing the games since daggerfall, I expected a lot more from Skyrim. It is a good game, but I finished it 100 % in three weeks. It is a more linear game than other Elder scrolls games and in terms of mechanic it's one he weakest. Bethesda is currently working with ID on Doom there is no news about a new Elder Scrolls game and Bethesda and Zenimax worked together on ESO it's being managed by Zenimax. Fallout 4 is a game I am hopig to hear some news for since Bethesda is not giving anything away.

You should in no way get an mmo for a console, subs are going a way, I did not say should expect bad PVE, PVE in the game is really good for an mmo and since it's releas the game has been improved a lot.

I get where you're coming from, but the problem with Destiny lies with some rather faulty design choices and Bungie making certain parts of the DLC only available on ps4 and ps3, getting people to buy a dlc for 20 bucks which has some content only available on another platfform, is a bit of a blamage in my opinion.

ESO is a rather good game to be honest, launch wasn't that stable, but it was just playable (most mmo's have a rather rocky launch.) The game does not look or play like skyrim (thank god) and rather plays like one of the older Elder scrolls game. Tons of content has been added, almost everything has been revamped and combat will be adjusted in patch 6.1 (which has no flaws besides some abillities needed to be balanced). which will be launhcing next week. An incredibly large world, every single quest has a story (tutorial alone has more story than Destiny.) The world itself is alive and quests have impact on the world (Save a village, they might help you out later.) The PVP is incredible and puts you against a few hundred other players in full on war and the PVE is responsive and works just as well, class building is really well done, since you class does only pre-eterminse 3 skill lines. I would have put Destiny on there, that game is broken by the developers choice.

I know the xbox one outsold the ps4 in November. Pro players are not the main audience for a game, they are a group to be considered, but for the few that "mastered" the game, a rather small group which holds no merits to the main audience. 343 is using dedicated servers since launch, as Twin explained dedicated servers alone do no solve problems, but there is no host advantage, why hosts then? Because you need a host as measuring point for server stability and client to client measuring, the other reason could be that the "old" games have not been build for dedicated server systems and they needed a workaround. For the rest the games are as similair as the originals The reason Halo 5 runs better than the MCC, is that the game has been build for dedicated servers since development, trying to remodel games which are build for p2p networking, is a monumental task. Bringing apparently the problems which could not have been tested before hand.

You should, it is a really good game. I think 2004 isn't that epxensive anymore, stay away from unreal tournament III

Well 343i won't read it here, we are a fan forum, ya might try on Halowaypoint.com What is your opinion on the plasma grenades, they feel a lot weaker in my opinion.

It can kill someone full shield if he is standing on it. So maybe extra damage, but like you said, without any proper measuring tools, it's just guessing. The radius seems to be the same though, I would notice radius increase to be honest.

Yeah it could be extra bleed through, or an increased radius. But from what I noticed I would go for extra bleed trough, the grenades pack a harder punch. half shield, one grenade is enough to kill if you're approximately a metre or half near it.

I like the grenades, but they do feel a lot more powerfull, I don't why, but it seems like they do way more damage, than I am used to. And though the killcams are faulty, it feels like they are magnetic.

for your info, before competitive shooter actually became something, games such as Doom and Quake already implemented sprint, most shooters have sprint. The first game that coined terms as team deathmatch, capture the flag and arena type shooter is Quake 3 arena. The game allows sprint and toggle sprint. your opinion on sprint is incredibly empty, going to sites which seem to think of themselves as pro, would add nothing to it. Halo 5 feels as Halo should feel to once again be an arena type shooter. Wether you like it or not, most reactions to the beta are extremely positive.

You should try reinstalling the game or restarting the mission, worked with me (the restarting the mission, never had problems big enough to try reinstalling.). I have finished H2 with no problems.besides not reloading my checkpoints, so restarting the mission worked. Define magically disconnected since it sounds like you two are playing co op campaign. Also we are not 343i, we are a fan forum if you wish to contact 343 Industries' support I would recommend going to their official forum: Halowaypoint.com
