Frankie whilst you're here.
Pls pass on the the fact that pre order REQ packs aren't showing up for some players in the req store no matter how many times the load up the game or install or reinstall the packs.
Also I played swat today, It was aight.

I have lots of legendary gear and unattainable emblems does that count?

Just wrapped up campaign and I'm super impressed. Everything was awesome.
It sucks. Nothing in the rocky area flows as well as it should. It's ugly as fuck too.
Otherwise, mp is amazing.
Yeah, good games.
I accidentally played one more match with randoms and suddenly it was 1 vs 4 and one of them had the audacity to teabag me.

So I just finished watching all the Spartan Ops movies. Anything else I need to know before I resume the campaign? Finished the second campaign mission and Im wondering if the reveal at the end of it was foreshadowed anywhere.
Basically what happened to Halsey between end of Spartan Ops and Halo 5.

The action and gameplay is so much faster in this campaign, do kinda feel like a spartan bad ass seen in the cutscenes with how you can mow through bad guys and keep moving alot. Halo 5 is alot faster paced compared to the previous ones, and the fighting prometheans isn't a slog like it was in 4.
I would love to say that is what I am doing, but I actually just suck. So, maybe?

Finished the campaign on Heroic, and now on level 3 in my legendary run.
Game is lots of fun so far. I love the level design, and the art is great, though doesn't really start to flex it's muscle until level 7.
Me and my cousin played through the story, and we both had a good time with it, though still just not sure how to feel about
It certainly was a huge twist that I never saw coming.
Anyways, I love how chief's character has evolved. I feel like they have done a great job with him, and he has some great lines.

I loved the
....feel like that was one of my favorite moments in the whole campaign.
..sorry my post is long, just so much to take in....the skulls are well hidden (only found the one on Blue team)....and love all the space, scale and alternative routes in campaign...
The Prometheian enemies are so much better now with the new design changes they made.
While there is still nothing quite like fighting the covenant, I feel like they can finally stand on their own now.
It certainly was not a perfect campaign, but overall I have trouble seeing how some people could be so down on it.
The story is controversial sure, but in my opinion, the gameplay is a giant leap ahead of all previous Halos, and there is more replay value than ever.
Excited to continue the adventure in the next game!
But for now, congratulations to 343 and Frankie. I feel this is a solid improvement for Halo 5 and had a blast with it so far!

Seconded. The guy at Xbox Support said they're working on a patch to help get the REQ's showing up in game so you can open them etc. He said that on his end, the content is on the store, shows up in my gamer tag and account as installed and enabled, but that it's not registering in game.

Just finished the campaign.
I'll need to let the dust settle a while but I think this might be my favourite Halo campaign, it's got everything and having completed it on Heroic solo, i can't wait to buddy up and attempt it on Legendary! The 60fps design choice was inspired, Halo has never played this good
Great job to all at 343, you have delivered a damn fine game. I think I'll stick with this as my go to shooter for the foreseeable.

Need one for various Arena things. PM me!
You should be banned from the game for showing off Emblems which us Normies can't get!
Biggest Let-Down is knowing I can't have all the Customisation Items.
343i, why won't you fuel my Collectable-Addiction and keep me playing for years?!

I just logged in and I'm level 1 again with no Req points. Wtf 343...
DUDE MY ENTIRE PROFILE IS RESET WTF.
I lost my rank in everything.
Wtf!
God damnit is 343 incapable of getting this shit right? Like please I just want a decent Halo MP that works. Is that really so difficult?

Ugh, I hate the tuning in this game, just like 4. Playing on Heroic feels all wrong, like this game wants me to spend time in cover, popping out to shoot dudes, instead of strafing and meleeing.
Example: I fired half an AR clip into a soldier, then shotgunned him TWICE. I went down. He meleed me once--I had full shields--which took me down.
I shot an exposed jackal three times with a zoomed-in BR before he went down.
What is even going on here?
Grenade bounces lacks the pinball feel of previous games.
I love the idea of verticality and the cool jetpack dodge feature, 60fps is a great choice, and mantling, when it works, feels good (it's still not as readable as Titanfall's), but the difficulty tuning means I'm supposed to spend way more time taking potshots with ranged weapons. Also not a fan at all of the "wait 35 seconds to spawn" stuff.

IGN gave it a 9/10, with the one negative being story/characters. That seems like great praise because we all know that multiplayer is what will keep this game going in the coming months or even years.
Also, I mentioned it to Josh as well, but 343 staff should really have unique emblems and armor that is unattainable for normal players. Not only will it make it that much better when we play against the devs, but it's a way to reward the team that worked on the game as well.

Just finished the campaign and unfortunately I did not enjoy it except for a few moments. Constantly fighting the soldiers and crawlers was boring. And having to use the alien weapons constantly was not fun at all. I get it, we are on a black op and you have to use what is around but it was painful. The fact that there is no punch to the weapons at all and none of the enemy ai reacted to being hit except for when the soldiers armor popped off or when you hit the weak points on the Knights.
I've played 3 games of war zone and I am enjoying that. I think I will be stuck on that for a while.

Amazon came through and gave me a free download code!
Can someone tell me around what percentage the game becomes "Ready to play?"

I agree that prometheans still feel bullet spongy. Disagree about the rest though. There are loads more enemies, perhaps that's why you feel more punished for risky play and pushed into cover shooting?
Digitally? 100%... But the last 20% goes quickly. Otherwise you're in for a long download, especially if you're on NXOE

Got a sweet AR and SMG for warzone but it's so high up the rec chain I doubt i'll use them more then just trying it out before a base is destroyed, which is rather easy to do with a fuel rod cannon...
Looks like butter smooth.Man, when this game looks good, it really looks good. Swords of Sanghelios is breathtaking and is easily one of the best Halo levels ever. How is this for pretty:
And these do not even do it justice.
Anyone?
It is so much prettier than those screens as well. The color pops more and it is more crisp. Just an incredible level visually and design-wise.
Friend and I played all of our matches together and got level 1 in different tiers.
Make sure you didn't disable it in options but yes it's hold melee while behind target in melee range.

Yes Digitally, and I am... Wtf, NXOE slows down downloads?
I have quite fast internet so hopefully I should get to play a bit tonight.
Are the looks consistent throughout? Bar the places where the resolution drops.
I read that your placement is based more on your individual stats in those 10 games, then after that the only thing that moves you up/down is winning/losing.

Why are the soldiers driving a warthog?
Why does the knight have a hydra?
I love the Prometheans.
