First for Warzone announcer packs would be okay

Wait, it's not real?

>tf no Tommy Wiseu pack

>Oh, hi spartan

Die

Would you watch/play Halo: The Room?

>spend 30,000 REQ points on golds, including the 6000 refund
>get ONE wasp

Only if it's free.

I don't give a good hard cucking about Jul 'Mlady. It's just that this was a waste of effort and essentially made years of lore a total waste. 343 has a habit of that, don't they?

Are you saying that writing an entire book to explain why the Rookie isn't our S4 nominee protagonist is a BAD idea???!?

Give me a second.
I haven't decided on the map yet.

wasps are hidden mythic I think

>tfw Wasps are the rarest item

It better be a good one.

>three flying vehicles in the game
>all of them are rare as shit

Or maybe I've just got shitty luck. I've found 50 scorpions in 13 months, so I'm going with that one.

See, if fun was allowed, you'd unlock more sets of reqs at a set rate as you level up, and eventually everyone would have unlimited access to all items.

Just make them harder to earn in-game, especially the ultra rares and legendaries.

Any time now, faggot.
Let's go!

Fucking 3 AM tunnel vision.

Oh yeah, I meant to ask this last night: did Halo 5 always look this asstacular, or is my install corrupt, or what?

Looks fairly normal. those shadows are fucking bonkers though

He didn't fly so good!

Who wants to try next?

fug wrong webm

Anyone wanna get in an hour or two of Warzone before bed?

Count me in after I finish my warzone nofunerfight game.

so how you guys feel now that the gow general is dead?

>Using a Needler against a soldier
>Not thrusting to the side before you start to descend into that area so you don't get fucked

0/10 See me after respawn.

Sure, might as well unload these REQs that are shit for WZFF.

It was 3 AM and I was out of it, please do not bully.

It's always time for bullying, user.

...

Sorry, forgot my name.

Now just invite us to the fireteam, you fug. We going to do a party or nah?

I sent Spank and Fish invites. I don't care about party or not.

...

fuck you we're not dead

What's that turkey thing from?

>reach fags

>343 cucks

>3 babies

>more than four people in a party

WE BACK BABY!?!?

What you guys playan?

2017: The Year of the Linux Desktop, The Year of Halo

Warzone currently

>people start playing halo 5 again
>343 Servers crash after first game
>tfw don't know how to spell "servers"

>CHANGE OF PLANS
We MCC now

We had this yesterday, too.

>Xbox live services limited
Welp

Are MCC servers down RN?

>MCC with limited services
aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAHHH

Xbox Live is down.

And just to really dock my dick, the party crashed too. I hate Microsoft so much.

Have you ever considered playing better?

...

Okay, but have you considered not being Sigmund?

Have we considered that road trip to the 343 offices?

I already told you what to do. Make cosplay with c4 in the pouches and the patented 343 industries overly-large shoulder pads that don't cover your shoulder.

I'll pack the gummy bears

>tank world
>minotaur maze

Make it an Agent Locke cosplay, then they'll be SURE to let you in

>any Fiesta that isn't pre-patch Riftball

Alright, we'll go as Osiris and some Spartan 4s. Nobody can be a Bungie character. It has to all be 343 stuff. Unfortunately this means that Buck must die, but for a good cause.
I'll cosplay as the Destiny warlock.

So is MCC dead? Getting the urge to play Halo as of late.

Xbox live is dead, better luck tomorrow

Oh I'm not really trying to play tonight, I guess what I mean is if it still has an active playerbase or not.

>MCC
>active
It has less than Halo 5.

You can find games, just not for h4 slayer

Or Halo 2 anything.

Ah, it's a shame to hear H2 is dead. At least I could maybe find some CE games.

...

>You will never explore the galaxy with your unsc bros

Good. I like it here on earth.

I'll explore earth with my real bros.

Picking up an Xbone to play Halo 5 and some other shit. Three quick questions:

>1
Halo: MCC worth picking up?

>2
I can get Halo 5 standard for $40, limited for $60, is Limited worth the extra $?

>3
Should I get BF1 or GoW4 Xbone bunduru?

MCC is decent, if you like campaigns you'll love it aside from the occasional buggy achievement. MP usually works fine although some playlists are rather low populated. Glitches are encountered occasionally.

Get standard Halo 5, limited isn't worth it

>MCC is decent, if you like campaigns you'll love it aside from the occasional buggy achievement
Like buggy how? I do love muh cheevos.

>limited isn't worth it
How bad is the microtransaction jewery? Is it hard to unlock stuff without spending money?

People need to cease this stupid idea that if someone sees an enemy rank will the game is loading they're more likely to leave, its beyond fucking retarded.

Just occasional weird bugs like everyone being invisible, the screen and UI displaying incorrectly, and other stuff.

None of it is too bad because you can just reset the game or your Xbox to fix it. But it's still in there and happens sometimes.


You can unlock stuff without spending a single dollar, I've never bought a REQ back and I have more REQS than I could use.

Maybe 343 removed it because they knew their ranking system was fucked and that golds would match with onyxes.

...

Shield worlds are artificial. Why would you build a bridge in a spot subject to damage from eventual rockslides by erosion?

Because they wanted to?

Forerunners made a lot of wacky shit just for the hell of it. I'm sure a bridge is easy.

Still though, I dislike the floaty bits the new style portrays.

Yeah, I suppose it does look "advanced" though, whicheck is what they were going for

No, it just looks dumb and over designed.

>how to we take this style known for it's angular architecture and ancient almost monolithic style and update it's visuals

>oh I know, we give everything super rounded and organic shapes and everything has a million moving floating pieces on it and we make it all shiny and grey with neon stripes everywhere

Never said it was good, user.

I kinda like the orange, although I'd prefer if the designs weren't so damn weird in the first place

>Soldiers
>Soldier commandos

pls no

I'm getting WZFF flashbacks

Bump

Soldiers were a fucking mistake, they're too bullet spongy just like the knights used to be

They'll probably be revamped entirely for Halo 6

I'd really hope so, then maybe the Campaign could be fun again

something something i wanna fuck a thicc elite

Not sure if you're serious or not, but I no joke wanna fugg an elite.

xboxdvr.com/gamer/Twenty Sevens/video/23958209

i am serious tbqh, i think elites in 2 and 3 are qt

>I can get Halo 5 standard for $40, limited for $60, is Limited worth the extra $?
wut

Fucking RIP.
Tankworld is worst action sack.

What did the limited come with, anyway?

I think it was a REQ pack

Tankworld is fine if you play with other people

Might have been the Warzone REQ Pack

Goddamn I've been playing this game on and off for about a year now. Only level 70 but I still haven't gotten the helmet I wanted (Security). Man, fuck this Req system, I'm losing hope.

>Halo: MCC worth picking up?
From what I've experienced after putting in 600 hours, I'd say it's worth it. Even if you can't find multiplayer games, you can still enjoy 4 campaigns, 5 if you buy ODST which I think is $5 as DLC.
From what I've seen the multiplayer is still alive, at least in H2A, Team Slayer, BTB, and few others. 343i put the playlists with the most population on the top of the selection so pick one of those if you're gonna play the multiplayer.

>I can get Halo 5 standard for $40, limited for $60, is Limited worth the extra $?
I can see the limited edition on amazon right now for $35. I didn't buy the limited edition and I don't regret it but here's what you can get if you do decide to buy it
>physical disc of Halo 5: Guardians
>Warzone REQ Bundle (14 Premium Requisition packs to enhance Spartan combat) >uniquely-designed Spartan-themed SteelBook®
>Guardian model by Metal Earth®
>Dossiers on Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris >Spartan Locke’s Classified Orders + Halo: >The Fall of Reach (Animated Series)
>Xbox Live Gold 14-day Trial.
At $35, I'd say it's worth it but I'm sure you can find standard Halo 5 selling for a lot less.

>Should I get BF1 or GoW4 Xbone bunduru?
I've never been a fan of either so I can't say.
