Halo 5 Memories of Reach Update Details

Deesbee · April 29, 2016, 11:13:04 PM

https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/memories-of-reach-preview

Quick summary of everything in it:
Infection, with medals and a new custom game option called "last squad standing"
Most of Noble's armor returning (I finally get to wear the best scout helmet again!)
Post Game Medals and stats
New Forge stuff (dead bodies, pestilence effect)
Remix of a map nobody likes
What seems to be the Focus Rifle (or Jorge's MG)?
A new legendary req (Falcon???)
Brute Plasma Rifle
Balance of weapons (mostly reqs)
Update will not be out next week as there is still final testing that needs to happen

Super hyped for that forge stuff and armor. Having post game medals back will also be nice I guess.

I remember when Alpha Zombies were not a thing when it first came out.

ummm

There was also 2 sharktooth assault rifles. Bravo rushed the team to get him the graphic and is getting them to fix it now. St8 savage.

I mean It might as well be considering the bloom

big dog · April 30, 2016, 03:21:13 AM

Another fucking remix.

Rest up the update sounds good. Much better than GoM, anyway.

BaconShelf · April 30, 2016, 03:53:24 AM

Oh, hey, an update that's actually decent!

This looks like a solid update

RadicalClass32 · April 30, 2016, 08:49:45 AM

Hmmm, has a LOT more content compared to Ghosts of Meridian, which I am positively sure was only composed of skins. I see that they infused nostalgia by fully blocking out a req with the ONI symbol. My guess is honestly either the Falcon or the Reach DMR.

Then again, I don't dare want to see that terrible bloom and iron sights again, so I will pray that it's indeed a falcon.

BaconShelf · April 30, 2016, 09:19:53 AM

Oh, boy, the number ten!

Wait. They added numbers one through nine, then just went straight to eleven and twelve? The fuck?

The hidden one is obviously armor locke.

Nice to see the worst noble team member is getting the most stuff. I want the auntie dot emblem

Spartan · April 30, 2016, 06:12:19 PM

Bit weird that we're getting the Brute Plasma Rifle that wasn't even in Reach, but not Emile's Shotgun or Jun's Sniper that have concept art for Halo 5.

Azure · April 30, 2016, 06:50:50 PM

They slapped me on the guns, help

True Turquoise · April 30, 2016, 06:53:00 PM

So Jorge's Chaingun as the super duper
And 343 seem to like Emile

And whats the point in BLURING OUT THE ARMOURS WHEN ITS BLOODY OBVIOUS.

I thought you said 343 never rushes anything

Way to try to start shit for no reason.

g💚jira · May 01, 2016, 12:10:42 AM

Looks good. If only we got the real plasma rifle and not the trash redesign employed by a trash species

Zonda · May 01, 2016, 04:14:25 AM

Would've liked to have seen a return of the Pro Pipe and the Plasma Launcher tbh
