Spoiler Halo Mega Thread

So I put the update on to download after finishing the campaign in offline mode. Skipped to 86% in 45 minutes, but it's only gone up to 93% in 7 hours.


The fuck?

Lel. It took me less than an hour to download everything. I don't know how long it was since I went outside during it but it was done when I came back.

Wat

Eh. I'm not too bothered, I played rhe campaign so I did what matters.

How long did it take you? I'm on mission seven at the moment.

About five hours on nornal.

OK, I think I'm at about four hours in right now. Although, I have been exploring more than normal, and I spent about 20 minutes playing with the soccer ball easteregg.

I didn't really go out of my way. I wanted to get the story finshed so less chance of spoilers, so I could get my update installing quicker.

Finished the game around noon yesterday. Here are my thoughts.

- Spartan Team Osiris is kinda 'meh' character wise, Buck is the only redeeming quality
- Kelly is best girl
- Why the fuck did Linda leave her sniper in the ship for Fire Team Osiris to use, but them have it in the mission with the 3 wardens?
- The Warden can go get himself fisted
- Are you telling me that Blue Team just stood around on Genesis not doing anything while Osiris was on Sanghelios?
- The new monitor is 10/10
- Fred can go die in a hole
- The A.I. are worse than Reach if you let them do their own thing. Tanaka specifically kept running into doorways.
- Cortana coming back could have been explained a bit better. Just saying she went throught slipspace and found the domain is a little bit of a stretch.
- Halo 5: The prologue to Halo 6

Multiplayer is fun. Warzone feels empty half way through the match. Arena is great, but I feel the maps are weighted for selection. I played the same 3 maps yesterday. Why can't I just play on Truth or Empire?

Can't wait for forge and actual fun gametypes for custom games. I understand no infection for Matchmaking, as they will add it later. But why couldn't they ship it with custom games? If they don't add something worthwhile soon, that custom game community will go fuck off back to Reach, especially since it's backwards compatible now.

-More of a gameplay thing, I think. There's a legendary weapon on each level.
-Exuberant (Monitor) says that Cortana has basically had them running round in circles throughout the installation the whole time. Maybe trying to hide them from the warden, or to occupy them while she does what she needs to. Either way, they weren't just sitting there the entire time.

I played the first two missions with my friend and it was the most fun I've had in a long time, and definitely worth waiting for him to get out if school (he lives in British Columbia and I'm in EST)

Halo 5 maps are atrocious according to everyone.

Only the forge made ones. All of the normal ones are good.

Some of the breakout maps are terrible tbh

Its an extremely fun game type though

They need to take out BRs and DMRs for pick ups though

They need to get rid of BRs, DMRs, and shotguns. When you have those weapons, it undermines the weapons your given at the start, and that doesn't seem like how breakout should be played. The grenade launcher thingy can stay though.

Getting pretty sick of capture the flag on truth, to be honest

I've concluded, after five games, that arena id shit and I have no plans to play it once I've got my csr

I'd ask to play with you guys, but my mic is just trash right now.

Every time I hear someone in the chat, it either just goes static, or I can't hear it at all. :/

I thought you were being a dick D:

Started campaign. Mission 1+2. Really fucking fun.

First half was great. Second half was the same encounters over and over again.

Spoiler

I swear you fight the Warden like 12 times.

Spoiler

He's a centralised AI with "a few million bodies", a concept not uncommon with the forerunners.

I'm aware. Still boring and repetitive.

why is this game being advertised on IMDb?

Alright. Now that I've managed to play some maps that aren't CTF on Truth, my opinion of arena is higher

I think just the fact that midship is terrible in any shape or form gave me a bad impression of arena

Warzone is bae though

So, let's be honest. I can go get Halo 5 for $50 today, and I've got some spare cash ahead of my paycheck tomorrow.

Is it worth it, or should I just wait for a better deal?

Spoiler

Limited gave me these, which are nice.

P gay

You can put them next to all your anime figures

If I had any...

I can put them in the box where the old Halo wars ones live

I'd assume they're advertising it there because there's a lot of crossover in the consumer base for the film and gaming industries.

I got the limited edition with the metal figure but I can't be fucked to put it together lol

My friend and I only keep getting Coliseum for CTF, it's annoying. So is getting Escape from ARC twenty times in a row. They need the veto system to be honest. I still have yet to play Plaza and Truth.

You could try playing the Team Slayer playlist.

How long until nerds start calling her their waifu?

Spoiler

Finished the campaign...it was just alright.  It didn't really feel like that "dark story" that 343 promised it would be, and the hype was, once again, just hype.

Agreed with above that Osiris team was meh-tier with Buck being the only one I was interested in listening to. 

I am pretty bugged that we have yet another faction to fight against.  We have the Covenant Remnants (I'm sure they'll still be around for a long while), the Forerunners, and now AI.  Also, good job 343 for making an entire "mission" just into just a cutscene.  Spectacular.

Haven't gotten around to playing Mutliplayer yet, may do that tonight since I actually love the new gameplay.

So what the hell ever happened to this Warzone map?
