Halo 5: Guardians |OT| The Trials of Osiris

On the achievements app (snapped version) under locked achievements does it say unlocking?

If it does, could take a while, my mission 4 achievement was like that for 3 days before it unlocked.

Nah that was the first thing I checked. Not sure why I didn't get smart-link one, but does using a stationary turret count as a vehicle? Used one during the firefight at the end, that's the only reason I can think I might not have gotten that one.
 
I would give this kid all the candies!!

I would hold five candies so he can see them, ranging from meh to amazing, appear to consider it and then give him the meh candy, then when he'd gone a couple steps away I'd ask him to come back, whereupon I'd make him go over the 'trick or treat' again, then give him the same candy again. Repeat 10 times, at which point MAYBE he gets the good one.

That's getting fixed as we speak. You will be able to play again shortly.

Let's hope so. Thanks for the heads up.

If you're disconnecting regularly all the time you may want to look at how you are set up.

My connection is unstable until like late at night and I get brief lags (like a 3sec hiccup) every 10-15mins. When that happens while I'm playing other games, the screen either pauses or does some rubber banding, but with Halo 5 it just boots me immediately. I hope that is what you're fixing!
 
Nothing says randoms more then someone in the lobby playing rap music over their headset.

I was playing warzone solo earlier, left chat on just out of curiosity

... nothing but an endless stream of people living in chinese/siberian/cia prison cells, babies crying in the background, kids talking to mom, horrible feedback, echoing, and once in a blue moon, some dude bitching about what killed him

TYOOL 2015 and I still don't think people 'get' microphones, they're hard
 
Both if you saw a small cluster around 530 ish pst. If you're disconnecting regularly all the time you may want to look at how you are set up.
Well it worked flawlessly yesterday. All day today has been disconnects immediately every game. I forwarded ports, reset my modem and router, reset my xbox. Dunno what else to do.

Seen a handful of posters on Reddit with the same issue.

There's one that was recently posted.
 
Beat Glassed again for the 2nd time... Didn't get either achievement for not using Smart-Link or entering a vehicle again... This is getting a bit stupid at this point, it's not even the unlocking bug the achievements are just broken.

I have two that are at 100% that haven't popped yet. I'm sure they will though.

I'm getting desperate here.

Are the servers this bad or is me being on TWC really ruining my experience this much.

I can barely go a game or two without game breaking lag. Hardwire or wireless, same result.
 
What's everyone's split between Warzone and Arena? I thought I'd be playing mostly Arena come launch, but it's split 95% Warzone 5% Arena for me.

More maps 343 ASAP plz, plus randomized AI spawn points as opposed to knowing where they're spawning every time?

Down for some Warzone right now if anyone wants to play.
 
I'm finally understanding the movement in this game and I'm loving it.

It is really nice. I don't think I could go back. I tried in between the beta and it was too jarring not to be able to thrust/clamber. I am really enjoying my time with the game. The req pack system is very addicting. I am ashamed to admit I actually spent money on them...lol at least some of it will go towards the pro prize money.
 
Probably won't be winning too many games when I have 3-5 second disconnects every 30 seconds or so during matches where people are just running through walls.

Fun stuff.

It's a shame that people automatically see "microtransactions" and think it's bad. This system is great. It's fair, fun, addictive, and it doesn't hurt the competitive scene. I've heard arguments from people where they think it's better to pay for a good map than microtransactions in any form. That's ridiculous considering maps splinter the community and microtransactions can be done correctly. Those same people even argue that while this REQ system may be fair right now, it introduces microtransactions to the series which means that 343 will obviously implement a bad version of it eventually because all microtransactions are bad. It's infuriating.

343, please keep the REQ system in future installments in lieu of paid maps.
 
Halo 5: Guardians |OT| Needler for sale. Never used.

Halo 5: Guardians |OT| Mongoose or Mongeese?

Is more like it

Is there any legitimate way for me to watch TFoR that doesn't include me rebuying Halo 5?
Animated series?

No idea. I had some issues and still do with my pre-order and missing 7th armor, XBL support gave me a code for Halo 5 Digital Deluxe edition as compensation, which i realized too late because i redeemed it via the auto redeem link.

So TL;DR they might give you at $84.99 or whatever bundle free, cause reasons. But hey, they made me a happy customer at least. Screw that weapon skin, i got Req packs ya'll!


On another note im starting to git gud in this game.
Started off as 1.1 KD and after todays matches 1.9 KD.

I hope it keeps going this way.
 
I just breezed through the triple Warden fight on Legendary. All the fuss online about it made me expect something controller-breakingly frustrating, but the plentiful amount of Incineration Cannons and Scattershots made it super easy. I don't understand why so many people are raging over this.
For me I was completely clueless about two things:

1) I realized after nearly an hour that charging up the Inceration Cannon was a thing.
2) That you could bait one of them and shooting them in the back was a viable option. I didn't have to resort to that tactic with the previous Wardens, as I killed them with power weapons from afar.
 
Is it widely know in the Halo universe that the human race was super advance many centuries ago? Because you'd think that when not Guilty Spark (forgot it's name) mentioned that the human were as deadly as when "we first walked the stars" it would have made the characters react a little no?
 
"In lieu of" means "in place of" or "instead of."

But yes, I think the REQ system is a great way to support free DLC.

Lol you're right. I even read it as "instead of." I wasn't thinking that through as I meant to put "paid maps" when I made that sentence.

Yeah, the animated one. Also, issue with 7th armor? Is that the armor you're supposed to get if you play prior to Nov. 7th?

Haven't gotten that, so I should contact XBL support about it eh.


Might have to wait for the Blu-ray, or hope it goes on Netflix.

Yeah I was pondering that myself when she said that. Maybe they were too focused on the mission at hand to react (cop out)
 
Not to beat a dead horse, but I caught up with the discussion about spartan charge, while the purist in me is all 'negative Infinity, I don't like it' about giving what is essentially 'melee' a 2 meter range, I don't think it's a hindrance to game play or is anything game breaking or bad design. I've yet to be killed by one more than maybe 2 times, and that's because I wasn't paying attention behind me. And let's face it, they most likely would have assassinated or killed me either way since it's one hit ninja kill from the back.

It's a way to not feel helpless coming out of a sprint as well. Accidentally sprinted into a room and gotten ambushed, quickly spartan charge to take shields away to give yourself a fighting chance.

Don't bother, shouldn't even be called fall of reach since the fall of reach never fucking takes place In the show. It ends WAY too early. It's like th animators were rushed and decided to end the damn thing half way through working on it.
