>he didnt pre-order the ultimate edition
>he has to wait until the 21st to play, meanwhile the rest of us get to start playing at midnight tonight
Point and laugh at him

I suppose we should expect a temporary surge in PC players in the general?
Much like when the Windows 10 version of Halo 5 released?

...

is red team kill? literally all I give a shit about

Reminder to censor all spoilers

someone explain what the fuck's going on

Red Team died on Reach.
To hell with this non-canon spinoff shit.

Uh, looks like you just lit the rings

>implying it made any sense for blue team to be master chief's pals and red team to consist of literally everyone else
>implying there can't be multiple red teams over the course of two decades
>implying games aren't canon but muh books are

>tfw no tracking number

>tfw Wars 2 at midnight
FINALLY

>railgun has 7 rings of light on the barrel before firing

holy shit you're right

My pre order says I can't pick up the game until the 21st...

Debating whether or not to go to the midnight launch and stay up all night playing or just puck it up on the way home from work

Spoilers and ending on the wild so i'm going dark for now. See you on saturday/sunday /hg/.

I’ve played a bit, so far I can say if you liked HW1 you will also like the sequel

BUT HOW?

My local gamestore recieved it yesterday

Jelous/10

I honestly don't like the ultimate edition art as much as tge standard edition. I think the red background looks wierd, but I gotta have Muh Special edition.

I wonder if I can still have access to the definitive edition.

>I wonder if I can still have access to the definitive edition.
You mean through the ultimate edition of Wars 2?
You can definitely still get the digital version of the ultimate edition, not sure about the physical.

>tfw broke and poor college student and cant get HW2

It's 20% off at CD Keys

>"what edition is that"
>game literally says ultimate edition
Cmon man

>got seaason pass?

>edition?

S-Shut up

Fuck user I may have to be irresponsible enough to get it

Though I prefer physical editions

...

>buck-toothed rat-faced boy
I miss old anders

She had a nice body and face.

>he doesn't have a fetish for buck-teeth
get out of my general pleb

The thing you need to know about the physical editions is that the Xbox Physical edition does NOT feature play anywhere, meaning you can't play the game on PC or Xbox, only on Xbox.
The PC physical edition is essebtially just the digital edition again. You install it ince then you can play it anywhere without the discs, and the discs and box essentially then become useless to you outside of being there for your collection.
Note that the PC ohysical version does not retail in the states, you would have to order it from the UK.

The ring at the end of 5 that Cortana finds is a newly built ring, interesting

That's not the way i interpreted it.

PLEASE.
USE.
FUCKING.
SPOILER.
TAGS.

That's a good point. I don't have a good gaming pc now but may soon. Any Xbox play anywhere I should buy digital then

>tfw can't play hw2 because I never (((upgrade)))d to win10

>The ring at the end of 5 that Cortana finds is a newly built ring, interesting
What'd he mean by this? Did i like it?

>not dual booting

Lmaoing @u

If you really want a physical version AND play anywhere, you should get the PC physical version, but it isn't the same box size as Xbox games (PC games use DVD sized cases, Xbox and PS4 use blu ray sizes) and doesn't have the green spine.
So unless you have a lot of PC games, it would look out of place on yiur shelf
granted, the H5 limited edition already does

>legendary armor
>its another copy paste with an ugly skin

What the fuck is the point shouldn't a legendary one be somewhat special?

Eh I always say I want physical, but it is nice having digital and never having to physically switch games.

>Only ~12 more hours until I am finally free of Halo 5 : GayFuckStupid

Everyone who's hyped for this game: prepare to be disappointed. It's got fuck all for content.

Still more than H4 at launch

I'm getting the physical PC edition because I won't have to ever change discs but I want a physical case for my collection.

It'd already GOTY just for the fact that it's a balanced Halo Wars game

...

So, how do we weaponize this?

#hype

It's 13 hours dumbass

>HW2 fags reaching peak delusion

Eastern standard time is launch time

Says increasingly nervous man for the second time

>anime poster

pls

>laughing poster

I just want to fucking play already reeeee

...

FUCKING MICROSOFT RELEASE IT NOW

What is everyone doing to pass the time?

Anybody here /cantbuygamesuntilchristmas/?

Raid training

We don't know this though all we know is at the end of Halo 5 she finds a ring and at the end of Halo Wars 2 there are 7 Halo rings in the Galaxy again, all could be under Cortana's control.

Get a job

Extinction event when?

The cover art looks awful

>when HaaH WaaW 2 is surprisingly good

Stardard edition loses the ugly red hue, but you miss out on early access and all the extra goodies

Damn that looks significantly better

I don't know if the monitors of the halos would agree with her.

I think she got this new Installation 04C because it don't have it's own monitor.

Really doesn't help much.

The framing, everything, it's all bad.

True

Halo 5 was garbage.

They need to follow Chuck Heston's lead and have the Chief blow it all up, hopefully killing off the franchise.

Unfortunately it will limp on for decades, until the reboot fails, then it gets repooped another decade and change later.

Well that makes sense, it was after all a cropped portion of a bigger image

For anyone that cares

Ah, that looks a lot better.

No. Nobody cares

...

Blitz shit is up on the site as well

Hope you played the Beta Good Goy

I couldnt give less of a dhit about Reqs: Card Games edition

Spoilers/synopsis?
>that Isabel
Is BioWare a subcontractor for the models now lmao?

I played the beta extensively.
How do i get forge?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>metascore
Yeah, and Halo 4 was better than 3

Lets wait for a few more reviews to come in before we add it to the official list

>Yeah, and Halo 4 was better than 3
No it wasn't. It didnt even rank close.
Stop making shit up.

Halo 4's metascore is lower than 3's.

Are you a mental invalid?

>H5
>84
>Better than ODST
I don't even care for ODST that much (cue shitposters), but HOW?

I remember a lot of saltiness that ODST was releasing full priced at $60 when people had already bought the maps packs for Halo 3.

There's also a lot hipsters that call Halo 4 good solely because of the relationship of Master Chief and Cortana had throughout the campaign. They just "forget" all the retarded shit

I'll change his argument for him
>I guess Halo 4 is better than ODST

I thought that was Halo 4 instead of 5 but in 5s case, it has the best multiplayer since Halo 2.

I just watched a video showing all units and how come Decimus gets to have his own unit but Atriox and the Elite don't?

Who knows
