which is very easy to get if you dont suck

How good you are doesn't really matter either.
You can be on the losing team, near the bottom of the leaderboard, and still get a good amount of REQ points.

I like how more often than not I'm spawning in front of enemies in arena

Top notch banter

I can't wait to get this strongholds achievent so I don't have to play again.

I've spent the last hour playing arena for achievements and I've basically spent an hour wandering round looking at skyboxes and trying to get as many ground pound kills as possible.

I honestly don't know If it's worse or better than spawning into nonstop BR spam in Warzone

Strongholds so far seem to have the best spawns at least in my experience

At least you can choose your spawn in warzone.

Ehh. If that's happening, I spawn at home base and rethink what I'm doing.

That's a really stupid thing to do.

Sounds like something Roman would do.

Not really. If you don't play warzone, you have no use for REQs.

Here's a theory.

Spoilers by the way.


Halo 5 opens with a voice overed exchange between Spartan Locke and Catherine Halsey. The conversation reads "Spartan Locke... I have spent enough years with ONI to know the truth, once this is over, after all I have done... They'll order you to kill us both."
During the voice over, a scene plays out where Halsey walks through an underground ONI base and enter her office. We know its hers by the picture of her daughter, the journal she places on the table and the presence of an AI in a containment pedestal. Catherine removes a storage cylinder and places it in the pedestal before revealing an AI smiling up at her. She smiles back and then twists the cylinder storing the AI inside.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmRm2LHJB-o
This scene is then followed up by a spectacular mountainside intro for Fireteam Osiris and the intro is completey forgotten in the hubbub that follows.
This scene is intriguing however because it doesn't seem like anything important is being shown. A couple of questions begin to take place. When is this happening? Where is this happening? And who is the AI?
It is reasonable to assume that this video takes place on Reach, during or prior to the Covenant invasion. However the final question is a bit of a mystery.
Like many players I assumed that this was Cortana, until I stumbled across this fact while poking around the Halo Nation Wiktionary. http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Kalmiya
"Kalmiya was a Smart artificial intelligence construct created by Dr. Catherine Halsey. She served as a host for prototype routines to test the software intrusion routines and software that would later be integrated into the specialized AI, Cortana. In a sense, Kalmiya was Cortana's older "sister."
UNSC protocol demands that prototypes such as Kalmiya must be destroyed promptly after their material goes into general use. Dr. Halsey promptly disobeyed this order. She kept Kalmiya around, likely because her previous AIs, Déjà and Cortana, had been reassigned (to an unknown position and as John-117's attaché, respectively.)
Kalmiya resided in Halsey's office in ONI's CASTLE Base. She was left there with Dr. Halsey during the Fall of Reach and proved very useful in helping Halsey and her SPARTAN-IIs escape the facility.
She was somewhat disturbed, though, when Dr. Halsey used a hidden fail-safe to destroy Colonel Ackerson's personal AI, Araquiel: she asked if her own code included such a fail-safe. Dr. Halsey carefully told her (Kalmiya would possibly stress-analyze her voice to verify that she wasn't lying) that not every A.I. had the fail-safe, which was the truth, just not the whole truth. Kalmiya had to be destroyed as part of Operation: WHITE GLOVE to prevent the Covenant from collecting any information in the base. Dr. Halsey activated the fail-safe in her Riemann Matrix, revealing to her that not every A.I. has such a fail-safe, only the ones that matter."
So is the AI shown in the beginning really Cortana, or is it Kalmiya?
A third possibility present itself when this piece of lore comes in. We learn from a different page that during the Fall of Reach Cortana was "split" during the fall of Reach
"On August 3, Halsey split Cortana into two, assigning her "copy" to work on the decryption of the Forerunner data in the underground facility below Sword Base, while her other half would prepare for the Spartans' mission."
We assume that this copy is the one which Noble team delivers to the EDIT: Pillar of Autumn prior to the events of Halo 1.
These leads us to four possiblities 1) Throughout the games, Cortana has been 100% Cortana and the scene in the beginning is just meant to show us a bond between Creator and Created (keeping with the theme of the game) 2) Throughout the games, Cortana hasn't been Cortana but Kalmiya her sister AI. 3) When Cortana was split, she never recovered her other half and has been incomplete the entire series. 4) When Cortana was split she was somehow recombined with Kalmiya to form one AI which may be responsible for her erratic behavior in Halo 5.

At least you can choose your spawn in warzone.

Half the time the spawns don't even put you where you chose. You'll pick West Armory and spawn in your base or chose Spire and spawn on the beach

Just started campaign on legendary, I'm at the end of blue team right now and I'm already absolutely fucking sick of blue team's AI.
It's like they search for the exact thing they should not be doing and proceed to do it.

I cant stop them from either jumping in front of Hunters and getting themselves all instakilled or they will stand at the worst possible spot in the room to that it's impossible for anyone to get revived.

Started glassed....fucking Buck wont get in the damn Hog Gun so now I'm dying by his driving

Sounds like they got the Halo-tier AI down pat! I haven't played, but if you let an AI drive, do they locate the nearest kill zone to drive into as well?

I really don't know If they are worse than Noble Team or not. I mean I haven't been splattered or sniped in the middle of an assassination yet...but, fuck at least Noble's plot armor let them soak up bullets while they were being retarded/

So you can break Orion.

Surprisingly the second Warden fight was easier than the first. I ended up running to the bridge and hiding behind that shield projector for it. Nobody went behind me, just in front of me so I went out of cover to pop them off. The only times I got killed was when I went out off cover to get a gun and a knight fallowed me back sometimes. When it come to the Warden since he was the only one left Blue Team was able to kill him. He kept trying to stomp me which didn't work so he was ignoring the group behind him. God damn the AI for this game is shit.

For SWAT can the spawns get any worse? Instead of spawning in safe zones you end up spawning at times right across the enemy. Last night I ended up spawning in between two red team players who were shooting at the guy I spawned next to. I died not even withing a second because I spawned in gunfire.

I hate March on Stormbreak.

Rank isn't based entirely on wins

got 9/10 wins  in shotty snipes and got put in platinum while my other teammate got onyx
