If you're the only one left on your team and you leave you shouldn't get banned. That's bullshit.

They should add a surrender option, works pretty well in R6 Seige

Are those flamethrowers I see?
I don't remember any map in Halo CE having them but then again I never really played much on Wizard.
It always felt too small

Halo 5 isn't even in the fucking windows store for me. Why not?

You need the anniversary update, apparently.
I had the same issue

It says my device is up to date.

Halo Combat Evolved didn't have flamethrowers.

>tfw wanna play H5F but the anniversary update fucks up at 80-90%
How long until this shit is mandatory?

PC did, it had fuel rod cannon too.

Well then sucks to be you Ayy LMAO wow rekt

Did Combat Evolved on PC have them or did Custom Edition have them?

>Halo Combat Evolved didn't have flamethrowers.
Yes it did. The PC version has them on roughly half the maps, even the ones from the console version that didn't have them.
In addition to this it has other things on multiplayer maps that were exclusive to campaign, such as fuel rods (which ran on a battery) and banshees.
It also introduced the rocket hog.

Post forge wishlists
>custom powerup
>trait zone
>concussion rifle/grenade launcher
>sentinal beam
>flamethrower

I was referring to the canonical combat evolved which would be the xbox version I think.

>Did Combat Evolved on PC have them or did Custom Edition have them?
PC, which means by association also Custom Edition, but they were in the default PC release.

The MCC actually uses the PC versions of the maps, so if you go play Halo CE multiplayer maps on MCC, there's things like flamethrowers and fuel rods lying around, which were not there on original Xbox.

To expand on the other guy, you'll need to download the Anniversary Update manually.

I know this is a joke but if any version is canonical it's actually the PC version because that's the version used in MCC

Combat Evolved

>The fuel rod originally used a battery instead of ammo
I wonder if this was a bungie thing and then they for this reason kept it out of multiplayer or if it's just yet another example of Gearbox being incompitent.

*touch*

I think it's a bit silly to use MCC as the judge since it was/is such a hodge podge.
I assume they chose the versions for MCC based on what was easiest to work with and what code they still had on hand.
CE on xbox is the original.

>tfw tom french doesn't reply to your tweet

The great debate

Since you have twitter can you ask this guy if 343 just retextures the gun model or if they're all different models like one user claimed?
twitter.com/Wunkolo

Is this the least used weapon in the series?

I like the slightly bigger letters in the bottom Subtitle more.
Also "Guardians" reminds me too much of that abysmal campaign

They literally just flipped the planet from the beta menu.
Lazy fucks.

Features look different to me user.

>Is this the least used weapon in the series?
Only because they never made the gold one available in multiplayer.
That thing is fucking deadly. Controls like a focus rifle.

It was one of the weaker weapons in the game, it didn't help that so many Halo 2 games had BR starts and there was no reason pick up anything else unless it was just rocket sword sniper or something when BR was better. I don't even think most maps had it as a default weapon, I know backwash did and maybe ivy tower, but I might be remembering wrong.

Nah the sentinel beam is pretty GOAT

The plasma repeater on the other hand

What are the waypoint videos that give you free cash?
I just downloaded the Forge Bundle last night.

Dual Wielding is superior to BR in most circumstances on Lockout, Midship, Beaver Creek, Warlock, Turf, and Elongation.

fuck you shit eater! the plasma repeater was one for the best things to come out of reach!

>pro pipe
>falcon
>concussion rifle
>plasma repeater
>power gap
>dmr

This.
Plus many of the maps where BR is the preferable option have snipers or vehicles on them which in turn shit on the BR.
There are definitely still some maps where it's just BRs: The game, though. Like Foundation and Ivory Tower.

It's actually true.

Backwash was also pulled from matchmaking

This. I just joined it and I got a shiny new helmet because of it.

that shit cleaned house against flood

the correct answer is either the Spiker or Focus Rifle

no

Yes actually. In fact some maps like Turf which has the BPR make the BR pretty irrelevant

What in the fuck is this pack bullshit?
Do I just sell these cards or what?

Just for Droid since he was saying he didn't know how to change the name, just click edit the same way you change the bio and you can type where the company name is. Halo General PC seems to be taken but HaloGeneral PC isn't if you were to go with that

Nice to see so many PC players jumping into the company

>when wars definitive edition releases it'll leave reach as the ONLY halo game not at 60fps

Shame

For some maps, dual wielding absolutely wrecks house against BR

If you're on PC, just sell all of them. You get a free Daily Login pack per day, and they can have stuff like minor armors and expensive stuff to sell.

>Halo 2 co-op starts you off at Cairo Station instead of The Heretic

holy shit for WHAT purpose

>We don't want PC players shitting all over us so we made a Jim Crow's containment company for you
Yeah... no thanks.
I'll join the regular company thank you very much.

Alright, thanks.

I was thinking this as well. I don't want to be regulated to some 2nd rate company due to my platform.

Maybe if you can't aim

The regular company is at capacity, and there are certain differences in how matchmaking commendations work that just kinda fucks both groups if PC-only players join.

You don't understand. There's no reason for you to be in the normal company. See, companies have commendations to unlock by completing certain challenges and statistics within halo 5 matchmaking. PC players literally can't contribute to that.

What rank were you guys? Duel wielding is not that great. PP + Magnum is nice but most is mediocre.
You can easily control lockout with a br vs some guy trying to duel wield.

I got up to rank 38.
It really depends on the game type a lot more than the map.
Team Slayer varients tend to be all about the BR.
Free For All will often benefit you more if you dual wield

I got to 40 and then hit a wall.
Some maps are absolutely BR fests, no doubt.
Others it's the exact opposite.

Oh yeah, I never payed much ffa. I can see it working there since small maps turn into cluster fucks.

>play halo 5
>literally nobody on except faggots nobody plays with
I hate every single one of you normies.

>People struggling to play this
I have a 660Ti and I can run this 60fps 1080p. What's going on?

>hates normies
>plays halo

>Lockout is not a BR map

I'm actually ok with customs general but I like Halo PC General more than Halo General PC

I think having this PC release is awesome

It really can revitalize the series

Don't count on it

Cawfee

Chances are most people having trouble are using pre-built shit.
I'll bet a lot of them have notebooks they got for college, which tend to shit the bed in the gaming and compatibility department after a year or less due to terrible assembly.

I don't know, Customs General just isn't fit for its purpose and without the description you wouldn't even know it was for PC players. Customs work in both companies. Retards don't bother reading descriptions they should both be Halo General and Halo General PC if you ask me but apparently the latter is taken so anything with hg and pc in would be an ideal name

Brook or GGG lads?

Halo PC General

Taken, only free combinations I can see are

HaloGeneral PC
HGeneral PC

I hope Ark is here to see this.
Also, you can't have two spaces in your company name, so I'm thinking HaloPC General. Any input? I can only change it once a month.

>tfw Tom does reply to you
I'm @happyfaggot btw.

Is there a way to get past the minimum requirement warning when I start Halo 5 Forge?

Why do droid's webms always involve "fucking" other anons?

upgrade your rig

You can totally have multiple spaces

Only two of them are named that.

haha funny meme

You can have multiple spaces

I'd be down with HaloGeneral PC since its close to the original company name that rabbit fucked up and lost. Either is fine with me

Well, not with these word combinations.

Why is 343 so terrible?

Everyone who was in the company is still in here.

Any anons playing forge pc right now? The /v/ thread died.

>Tfw when they released the Defiant map pack with this fucking achievement

Even tried boosting it and it just wouldn't fucking unlock.

Nice, updated the company bio

ask him if we're ever getting the custom powerup and/or trait zones
