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

We'll make it.
Just post memes and webms

might as well post these again for them bumps

...

Anybody wanna play? I'm free for the next couple minutes or so unless everyone's going to sleep.

...

>didn;t teabag Red
Wasted opportunity, son. That boy sucks.

go to bed jeff ur drunk

gotta show a bit of pity for the man so bad he had to cheat in a 1v1 againt me

Badass*

Halo 5 will literally not let me leave the lobby of Rathalisk and BackupBeast,

Restarting game.

I think everyone jumped off.
Goin' to Killing Floor 2 unless anyone wants to play.

why the fuck isn't full game on PC yet?

...

>The reaction when the wasp was discovered

>C0's reaction when he gets run over by a rally hog in ffa snipers

Neverm8nd I'mq go pass out. See _'all in 2 wweks or somethin'.

>"Why the fuck is there a Mantis?!"

>Someone get Sigmund out of that ghost

Lots of people are saying that Halo 5 runs at a lower resolution since the Overtime update. Has anyone noticed this?

Personally, it doesn't look different to me.

...

...

...

1) new face of halo after chief is gone
2) ONI perspective
3) never before seen Spartan fight

...

Also you might see more squad mechanics added like republic commando or gears

...

The 360 games that got updates for the One X look absolutely gorgeous in these side by side videos, even on a 1080p monitor.

I'm actually considering stomaching another playthrough of Fallout 3 just to soak everything in person.

...

I rather some news games like SOT or SOD2

...

I thought chief was holding back because of the prime directive being to get to Cortana and not wanting to hurt another spartan just because they each had different orders? Or am I just so deep in halo lore that I’ll literally justify anything at this point?

...

...

That too as well

...

Looks great. Can't wait

>you will never be a spartan

Only few of them are enhanced though

>SOD2
I always forget the this game exist.

...

thank god

...

Why? Why would you not be one of them?

>they're still using Reach falling animations
huh

Stop expecting 343 to do work. Clearly they need to spend more time on making six variants of Athlon armor.

...

Painful

Who did it best?

Bungie

The Halo 5 frigate literally looks like a giant railgun

N-NANI!

Cross between railgun and light rifle

...

Do back compat games play this animation??

...

Why is Kirby green?

Yes

...

When is the /hg/ spartan company getting the Achilles helmet?

...

When we step up to the plate

REMINDER THAT IF EVERYONE GOT GRENADE KILLS

Is that all we need? I dont know what the requirements are for the helmet

Actually never

This is where we sit according to Waypoint. We're really not far off. If people played a bit more, we'd have had it by now.

...

We need to complete all those challenges?

>his game isn't 300% loaded

Yes.

Never seen that before

>Could have easily gotten these with the warzone in customs glitch
>Everybody just wanted to play custom games warzone edition

I'm pretty sure we deduced that they didn't count towards the commendations.

>kill the driver of a moving vehicle using a sniper rifle
>need to do it 573 more times
if people genuinely care about that armour, they should join another company.

just being realistic.

I’m playing halo 3 social slayer rn. please add me if you ever wanna play h3

my gamertag is iieu

what map? Loving that burning effect to it.

Ask Red. He's the one who chose it. You can probably find it in the server browser by looking up "Isolation" like he did.

nah we need to play a shit ton more grifball and infection to even have a chance of completing this before halo 6 comes out

Are people actually going to play Halo today?

I will
When I finish my homework

Im up for a game or two later. If someone is hosting.

I'll host
in MCC

>If people played a bit more, we'd have had it by now
Nah. There's a reason only the sweatiest companies have it. Even if hg kept the same activity as in the first 6 months we still wouldn't have it. Just look at some of those commendations. Besides farming, some of those are incredibly situational. Achilles was a fun little goal to work towards but if anyone wants the full set they're in the wrong place. Even letting randos join would do jack shit unless hg and all of the randos had top tier communication

Sounds dandy. But what game/game modes?

>at least 12 members of /hg/ are online
>they're not playing Halo
>the few that are aren't playing together
JUST

Why did it look like this? Aren't slipspace craters supposed to be surgical in shape? The FUD wasn't blown up, it was cut in half.

Swat maybe some H2A

if you look at it in Halo 3's end it was a clean cut, glowing a bit red.
343 doesn't care about what makes sense or what we expect from a long standing series.

just finished watching Dark City (1998) for the first time.
I feel like the Stranger's goal would've been a better goal for the Flood, instead of "we are the master race, lets consume."
from CE onward, ignoring all the Precursor stuff.

The Long Night of Solace didn't fare much better. It's possible that when slipspace fields collapse unexpectedly such as during the halo firing and LNoS, the are unclean and violent in what they take with them. When a slipspace rupture's collapse is controlled as it's designed to, it leaves the surgical crater behind, as was the case of Regret's Solemn Penance when it made it's jump on earth.

solo queue in halo 5 is one of the worst experiences in all of gaming.

that last one

>THE ONE BIG RED
>blue team

8/12 for Warzone, join on THE ONE BIG RED.

I thought there was a 6 player fireteam limit?

It's fixed
