The map on campaign needs a way to get rid of completed activities so that the map is a little cleaner.

As for spawns, I’ll just say I’ve become accustomed to the COD multiplayer spawns the last 5 years where you spawn and die immediately multiple times a match, and I’ve not experienced anything near that. THAT is what I would consider awful.

Also, I’m fairly certain they can and will drop a BR onto this campaign map.

You can get a BR at your FOB's and they are all over the place otherwise.

I started on Normal more so because I'm interested in finding the collectables and I don't want to deal with all the nonsense. I'm not a campaign guy but this open-world one is a ton of fun. I really think they nailed it and I'm sure they will drop additional missions at some point. I'll say I'm pretty good at this game and there are some portions even on Normal that are a bitch.

For collectables, you need to secure FOB's and then they will show up on your map, make sure it's zoomed in. Once you skyjack or find a Banjee it's easy to scoop everything up.

Really? How far in are you? I’m also doing it on normal the first run through and I’ve had very little challenge. I think I died a couple times to bosses but otherwise my other deaths have all been to snipers when I didn’t have a long range weapon on me and was caught in a bad spot. Probably less than 10 deaths total I actually kinda regret not going for heroic.

I completed the campaign this weekend. When you get all the beacons complete and start the sequence, you're locked in for story mode for the remainder of the ( at least a couple hours) campaign. You can go back after and finish other missions after that like HVT's
 
I'm torn on Battle Royale when it inevitably comes to Halo. On one hand it'll split the player base a lot, way more than adding specific playlists could, and I'm personally not at all a fan of the gaming culture that came with Warzone. On the other hand though i can't think of a better game than Halo to handle a BR mode. The TTK is perfect for it because it takes so much more to kill someone.

I could take or leave sprinting.

The only Halo game it really harmed IMO was Halo 4, cause there was no opportunity cost for using it like Reach, and no penalty for using it like Halo 5.

Infinite's sprint in particular is such a small boost in speed over basic run speed. It's a nice help when you need to go a decent distance to catch up to your teammates off spawn, but it's not a fast enough increase to get away from a player that's running after you while shooting. I don't think the game would gain or lose much by getting rid of it honestly.

Haven't had much issue with spawns. Halo (specifically Slayer) has always been about teams pushing to spawn and flipping the map. I guess if they made the spawn AI a bit more aggressive about flipping the spawns sooner, you'd get 'safer' spawns, but you'd also have more time taken by players/opponents finding each other, which slows the pace of matches down.

My biggest issue with the game remains the maps. As I said before, I don't think there are any real stinkers - other than the 1-flag map when it's used for any other mode - but there aren't really any winners either. They're all a solid 6 or 7 out of 10.

When I think about Halo memories, the maps are the first thing I think about. The list is too long to go through from CE to Reach, but for example, I could play 1-flag on Zanzibar/Last Resort or CTF on Valhalla for HOURS. And did. Many times at the expense of schooling, lol.

None of these maps anywhere near as iconic, in any mode. They play well. They flow well. They're very fair and competitive without being simple mirrored or 3-lane layouts. Which is great. But there aren't any legends in this lineup.

So I've been doing a melee only Halo campaign on easy just to see if it can be done. And up to a certain point it can. This boss you can't finish as you can see here so this is as far as I've gotten - the Adjunct Resolution.



For this boss as well you need to get angles on the different parts of the vehicle but the grapple falls short...really short on usability. The range on this is miniscule but the boss disappearing in the final phase is just unwinnable.

This happened to me yesterday. I ran out of ammo and had my sword I tried slashing him and most of his body disappeared. Took me a bunch of tries since I barely had ammo.
 
I am beyond shocked that they did not fix MP when the game was truly released from the beta state. The servers are shambolic the past week, barely can find a BTB because of how bad they currently are. Then when I find a match, it's glitchy and lagging like hell. That's what we get for free I guess, barely a playable MP. Game companies suck nowadays.
 
Yeah, BTB has been wonky the last few days. They’ve posted they’re aware of it and working on it. Had some issues getting into games tonight in BTB that I wasn’t having last week.

Just finished campaign.

That story was...bad? Not as bad as 4/5 but still pretty meh.

I mean it had some good beats and the lore 343 created pretty much restricts them to just Covenant but I dunno I guess they had to start mostly fresh... But this was executed badly.

Can't think how much of a mess this would be without Joe Staten... He only hope I have for the franchise... This supposed to be a 10 year game (no way)? Yearly campaign expansion might flesh things out

Challenges apparently force you to play ranked now?

Seems like outside of that, a majority of the changes are positive though. I see people complaining about swat and FFA not being ranked but iirc the FFA ranked playlist died a pretty quick death in Halo 5


Edit: did a bit more research on the challenge changes. Those ranked ones are sometimes game mode specific. That's uh...not ideal considering ranked already has issues with leavers and is in general resulting in shitstomps for one side. This probably won't help.

Happy to have variety in casual again though at least.

I think the Ranked challenges are to promote the HCS in Raleigh this week. Mine is literally “play one ranked match”. I only like to play ranked when I have a full squad online.

Reddit seemed chill for about three days and now back to some anger.

Edit: Yeah the article I posted says its to promote the HCS. You get more XP for those ones.

Winter event next week then the Fracture event comes back, and I guess they fixed challenges on that too. Then some more events in January and February.

That makes more sense. If it's just free XP for ranked then that's totally fine.


Seems like you could make a big dent into the battle pass then with that and if you're smart enough to save your double XP tokens...which I seem to have 6 of for some reason.

There were already challenges that were based on ranked playlists. Most of mine have been playing 3 ranked matches or win 3 matches. The progression is decent now but encourages you to log in every day. I think many people will be done with this BP in December so I'm curious if they release another in Jan.

You got a bunch if you redeemed the green AR plus you get them in the BP.
 
Is Slayer still in the Quickplay playlist?

If so, thats dumb. Just leave it as Oddball, Strongholds and CTF and rename it Team Objective.

So I played the first mission, found the skull. How do I activate it?
Click to expand...

Start a new game, its in the options there. Or wait for them to implement mission select, that will likely have it.

Im collecting all the skulls, but dont plan on using them til co-op is implemented. Then Ill do a coop LASO run.
