Halo 5

Numbers don't lie. Everyone said it would fall off after launch.

Because selling the REQs is their priority. Look at BTB. It likely will only ever have Forge maps. The amount of modes is lower than ever. The amount of content in general is arguably lower than it has been in a long time. The microtransactions certainly aren't fair in Warzone and yeah you can ignore it and play Arena and that is true but without Warzone the game is more bare bones in content than any Halo.

I agree the variety of maps and games modes can be improved, and hopefully it will. But the REQ system itself seems fair to me and I have no problems getting tons of req points in Warzone. I only ever bought gold req packs for cash once and that was to support the Halo 5 Championships. I'm having tons of fun in H5 and that what matters.
 
I don't think the microtransactions are unfair, it's still a crapshoot as to what you'll get, and you can't use them outta the gate.

Its not the worst and the mode is fun regardless but people with good stuff are at an advantage. No question.

Good players with good reqs are definitely at an advantage. But, someone like me, I get raped one or two kills into my use of a power weapon eight times out of ten. Tanks and Banshees really do wreck s*** though.
 
I'm really starting to get pissed at MP. I'll be getting ready to put the flag in place n teammates will kill me then put the flag in. This is just one example of the BS.
 
...So.. Never heard this one before :D



Also, had a great night playin' with randoms in arena

THE GROUPS
hwc_16_groups_newlogos-36d290d1b5e64917aebf1be23dc74323.jpg


The top sixteen teams from around the world have fought tooth and nail to gain entry into the Halo World Championship 2016 Finals. Based on their placings in their respective regions, each team was placed into one of four pools where they would then be randomly drawn into their groups to determine the Round Robin style matchups. The top two teams from each group of four will advance into the Quarterfinals, while the bottom two will be eliminated from the tournament. (More here)

CROWDFUNDED PRIZE POOL LANDS AT $2.5 MILLION
Since we first announced a starting prize pool of $1 million at Gamescom 2015, the winnings for the Halo World Championship has grown immensely due to community crowdfunding via the Halo 5: Guardians REQ System. The final prize pool is now locked and players will compete to win their slice of $2.5 million at the Halo World Championship. And if being the best Halo team in the world wasn’t enough of an incentive, this might be: the first place team will take home a total of $1 million – the biggest individual prize pool in console esports history!

Test and play with friends? I love it! I wonder if you will be required to login in order to use the tools. You know, to make sure you aren't using the power of PC to modify it into its own monstrosity.
 
I think Halo 6 will come to PC, but in the interim I hope this leads to better maps and M & KB come to XBOne soon with this functionality.

As do millions of others. :-)

Until Microsoft has other news to announce, however, the Forge community has been clamoring for a way to build/modify maps on PC with Forge, and now they get that.

Plus, you can play full custom games with friends in the Windows 10 Forge experience, across all maps, and with all the different possible game modes custom games offers.

4K capture the flag anyone? ;-)
 
It looks like its free to play from now until the 5th, I got excited thinking it was free to keep but new it was to good to be true....I had this but traded it a while back, wouldn't mind playing again if it was free but not sure I want to buy again
 
I wanted to like Halo 5 mp but I have never been this bad at a shooter in my life. I'm never been beast or much above average but in this game I have like a .22 kd and that just isn't enjoyable getting owned like that consistently. I have tried tweaking controls and changing up weapons and strategies and nothing works. :(
