>tfw no Halo 5: Master Chief & Friends Superstars Adventures in Dreamland

Perfect OP

>that OP image
I wasn't even hyped for the tourney, but now I am god dammit.

Holy shit pffffhahahahaha

Excellent OP image. Gets the hype train out the station.

what happened to the mountain dew sponsorship?????????

who here /spectator/

DONT FORGET TO UPDATE THE 10.9GB PATCH IF YOURE IN THE TOURNAMENT.

@BIGREDAIDS WHAT IS THE MEME PENALTY ON LATE STARTS

LIT

SCRATCH THAT ITS ACTUALLY 14.5GB

Holy shit i had no idea, Thanks user

>15GB update the day of the tourney

sounds like im joking but we might want to postpone the tournament for a week or two.

im betting half the people wont be able to play tonight because of the update.

spam the discord to let everyone know

All that matters for tonight is that the players in game 1 get it done. We can do the rest over the weekend

WHY
FUCKING
WHY ARE THE UPDATES SO HUGE

Update is already at 13% and my internet is garbage. Where the fuck do you guys live, Australia?

>Halo 5 is now 106.3GB

>day of the tourney
>dead thread
How?

We're going at a pretty good pace for mid day thursday

Is the update really this much of a hassle for you guys?

Dr. Pepper made us an offer we simply couldn't refuse, and one of the clauses was that it has to be the OFFICIAL soft drink of the tournament

Day vs night

Who is day and who is night, though?

>one night only

here

Feels gud
Looks like we might have to wait an extra day or two tho

>14.5GB
For what purpose??????????

Hey Paul sorry I was asleep here's your emblem

4K and a reskin of the Oddball IN FOUR KAY

cheers, man

Oddball is fun. Weapon balance changes feel good. Whatever they did to the BR I like it. Feels beefier.

It's getting THICCER

We need to go thiccer.

Fookkin sweet

There will probably only be one match tonight if that, but they should still be able to get all done throughout the weekend. There's no way 15 gb takes someone that fucking long.

I know someone that said installing halo 5 took a month

Thread picture has no tournament date. How the fuck would they know lol?

I want Halo 6!
Halo Six!

I WANT IT NOW REEEEEE!!!

why?

it'll just be a disappointment like the rest of 343's shit

I've been keeping track of the thread so poorly I don't even know what tournament this is or if I'm actually in it or not.

I'd honestly be pretty surprised if H6 came out in 2018

Any good wallpapers like this one?

...

Well, it's back in. I find it a bit odd that Spartans hold it with one hand now, but beggars can't be choosers.

Why the hell did they add the metal plate to it in campaign?
They're not gonna patch campaign to make it grabbable, are they?

>Dog and ONE BIG RED team up
Could this be, dare I say it...

Hot Dog?

No, it would be Team Clifford.

...

nice

>4K updates will push it to 150+
Fuckig why!? Do they think the game is really good enough to justify taking up 15% of the XboneX's base hard drive?

I thought Ameritard had super fast internet? Why is 15gb making people shit themselves and saying we need to delay the tourney?

I get 40mb downloads average and it took me like 3 hours. They must be a Romanian gypsy or something.

>OP doesn't include the other players in tonights tournament match
Literal whos BTFO!

Anyone else in the Sea of Thieves techical alpha? They just had a massive update this week, you can now
>SOLO SAIL, or play as a duo on the new small ship
>text wheel communications
>can vote to send trolls to the brig
Plus they supposedly added more stuff to the shop

But is it good?

just found this site: armorwatcher.com/armory

useful website

I've been in for about a year now and there's still not been very much to draw me back.

All you do is solve treasuremaps/riddles and then you can dick around with enemy players (that's the best part)

...

That's because the Dog v Dog match got moved to Sunday at the last minute.
There will be a different match tonight.

>he doesn't have at least 3TB external hard drive

>>can vote to send trolls to the brig

or the trolls can vote to send you to the brig

>get home from work
>immidiately start update
>at 1% in under 20 seconds
I live in a one bedroom New York apartment and pay $40 a month for internet. Where in 2017 are you residing that causes you to be unable to play a game for hours, let alone days, because of 15 gigabytes?

rural britbongistan

It's got to be the college anons.
The disparity between some colleges and others is still huge. Some are still running early 2000s speeds in their dorms while others are up to speed with the latest.

mine is between 500kb and 10mb fluctuating.

...

might as well get in on this

>Where in 2017 are you residing that causes you to be unable to play a game for hours, let alone days, because of 15 gigabytes?
Mexican here downloading at 40-50 MB while dodging bullets and earthquakes, there's literally no excuse.

...

o.o

p cool

Agreed.

I want Halo 6 too.

>he has several ext hdds but isn't willing to sacrifice one of them for a single video game
I'd rather just re-install

how rural are we talking?
>it always smells of cow shit and nobody can hear me scream
>nothing but old people, churches and nature walks nearby
>I played in the fields as a kid, then hung out on the streets as a teen

My waifu

Agreed, fucking with other people is definitely the main draw at this point
Not likely, it's typically just one guy and it requires a unanimous vote so the groups smart enough to use mics will quickly come to an agreement about sending them to the brig. As a player who frequently groups up with 2 other XBL friends this will be a godsend, usually we just agree to join a new server if someone keeps anchoring us or won't get off the wheel

Also, forgot to post the 1/2 man ship, it's a comfy little sloop.

Pretty G

>Try to do Halo 4 gamercard
>Keeps timing out
>Try to do it for Halo 5
>Instant
Da fug

Also, looking back, my Reach armor was the best

Is that a dick in the sky?

>trying to record some clips
>h5 theater makes everyone recruit armor
kill me

It's also basically objectively better than the large ships. You can outmanuever them so much easier.

How did you do that? When I try to do mine it just shows the default armor

Just put in my gamertag on that site and it generated

NDA, have to blot out my GT
They're kind of a bitch to dock though, I just tried it myself playing solo.
Plus the big ships have better chest hiding spots

r u a kity cat /hg/?

I'm in it it's actually looks good,it took me a while to figure out the controls. I also got drunk and went to hell.

Why are there so many degenerates in /hg/?

Tourney is still probably over an hour away

Exactly so why aren't we having some customs before watching it?
