Hammers
Only 1 new map
All possible Ball modes
UI changes
Fiesta Slayer

UI changes are nice to know about but Lack of any other maps in this update or any mention of infection sucks.

Too little too late

They really dropped the ball on good content.

>No infection

At least there is fiesta.

I think Ball modes are good enough to hold me at least over for infection.
Still I'm trying to sort out weather 343i are indeed just holding back on the gamemodes intentionaly or they are actualy taking forever to really develop for whatever reason.

The skeptical part of me thinks they are holding them back to fill the free content quota, but It just seems to odd to do it in the way they are. If they saw that the lack of content was already hurting there server numbers you'd think they would just bring as much out ahead of schedule to stabilize the player count. Iv'e also heard from one of the community cartographers that 343 has a bare minimum crew actually working on the Custom game and Forge stuff (Like 2 guys bare minimum) and on top of that we already know how notoriously slow 343 have been with development of gamemodes in the past. Just look at Race in Halo 4.

It's all mighty fishy but I honestly do want to think the best of 343i. I just don't know how much longer I can excuse alot of there nonsense at this point.

You know of all the things missing from launch, the lack of random weapon Spawns in customs is the most baffling. It's not like it it's something that needed an update, we already had it in war zone, and I dont see any conceivable reason for 343 to hold it back.

Looks decent. But......

It's truly sad when Deviant Art has better artists than 343i.

You will be fined twenty dollars for not wearing a seatbelt. Here is your ticket, I am the law.

Ok but where is 1 flag ctf?

RomanGladiator · February 13, 2016, 05:51:55 AM

Imagine if we could buy REQs with cR like in Reach. Hey guys check out all these new things to play with...too bad you'll never actually get them unless you want to pay for microtransactions.

big dog · February 13, 2016, 06:00:18 AM

The REQ system is fucking shit. Sadly, it'll be in Halo 6, in an even worse form.

BaconShelf · February 13, 2016, 07:43:04 AM

343 have gone rapidly from one of my favourite developers to one of my least-favourite. How sad.

Mr. Psychologist · February 13, 2016, 08:07:18 AM

Almost as bad as the PS+ lineup for the month.

The race to the bottom continues, thank you microtransactions for paving the way to free* content!

How is it so hard to include Infection?

I really want to like Halo 5 because it really is fun, but the lack of launch content butchered the game.

It's been in the game since launch. Look in custom games.

To be fair, it does look like one of the artists set out with the express intention of turning Mark V (B) into autism.

Probably because Mk. VII looks similar to Mk. V(B).

Probably because that's what the cosmetic look was based off of.
