Halo 5

SnakeEyeSS · October 25, 2015

So who is getting it?

I'm playing MCC to brush up. I have never been very good at halos goofy physics and format. Battlefield I can practice to get very good, but never at halo.

The marketing has got me, story and graphics look great, even preordered the LE just for the Fall of Reach feature(figure it will be $15 or more itself so why not).

I may get it, but it will be in a backlog behind fallout 4, ride to the tomb raider, and the uncharted collection

Im a PS4 guy....no Halo for me....lol

Played through uncharted once. Great series. Waiting for big sale on collection.

Tomb raider I can wait for PS plus or xbox games with gold, and I'll have halo 5 beat long befor F4 releases.

Played Ryse on One this week. Repetitive but good graphics and great story IMO( ending is disappointing, if it's going to be a mythic alternate history, let it end better!)

Just got 2nd in a free for all and 2nd in a warzone, back to back. Lost the lead in last few min of both games.

Think I'm getting a knack for this

No. You got 2nd because of LAG

No I had 5 BOSS takedowns, one was legendary, 2 base captures and 15 kills. Roughly.

I didn't even know Halo 5 was out yet... I'll have to get it soon here and make time to play it. If you have Chris, I'm on his friends list.

Played it some today. Got through a chunk of the campaign, liked it so far, especially the return of the SMG and the addition of grenade launchers on Mongoose. Not sure whether I like the COD controls yet. But the air slam and boosted melee are cool.

Anyone want to give me a rundown of the multiplayer? The one mode I tried was confusing, fighting aliens and another team? Where is regular big team?

BTB hasn't been finished yet. They say next update.

Warzone is two teams fighting for domination of the map, with alien invasions thrown in from time to time. You want to attack the aliens for the VP, first team to 1000 wins. Alternate way is to capture all based with lowers the shields at the opposing team's home base. If you can get in and blow up the core you win. It's like Battlefields territory control modes except with AI enemies throw in(and only individuals gets points for base captures).

The main benefit of base captures is using them as spawn point options.

I don't understand how the req system works. I liked how halo 4 was set up, all by levels with loadouts. I guess the controls for 5 haven't clicked yet for me, because I'm plain awful at multiplayer. Bad enough to be frustrating.

It's like burn cards in titanfall. Otherwise, you just need to use it a while to understand.

You get cards for permanent weapons, and cards for req weapons. There are no overlaps as far as I know. All vehicles and powerful weapons are Only obtained by using a card.

So when I "buy" a pack, and it gives me 5 warthog cards, I should "sell" them all since I already have 20?
