>Ive played CE and 5 more than any other game Feels good
Lincoln Young
meemmeeesss
Jason Moore
>best of platinum hits So they had a special grouping of games for their already special grouping of games? Or was CE the only gane to get branded this?
Camden Collins
anybody have a problem when they back out of the menu in halo 5 be it postgame summary or start menu where it will freeze on the screen and not allow inputs to back out anymore?
i tried googling but nothing about my specific problem came up.
Leo Cox
Happens a lot since the weapon tuning update, rarely happened before that
Asher Evans
yea that happens. I just hit start or b twice and i can get out of it
Julian Bell
I weighed the options and I just won't be making it on tonight. I wanted to make it, but seeing as I'll be alone a lot of the weekend I thought it best to not force vidya into my schedule tonight. I'll be on tomorrow. I hope you guys had fun tonight.

Kayden Murphy
>tfw no Halo 5: Master Chief & Friends Superstars Adventures in Dreamland
Caleb Scott
We had some amazing Warzone victories tonight. We had close matches and pulled back matches from Achilles teams. It was just like the old days, I hope this happens more often even if its just a weekend thing
Robert Watson
>when you 1v1 your old Halo buddy after playing only with /hg/ for a month
David Reed
Warzone is objectively the best mode for /hg/ to work together in a coherent way.
Cooper Price
Careful with that power level
James Brooks
>halo disc is broken who know this feel

Robert Flores
>the rise of /hg/ has begun
Jace Williams
>tfw played like poopy tonight Sorry lads, I promise to get good at halo again soon ;~;
Robert Reed
>16 deaths
not sure you should be bragging about beating this guy
Nathan Russell
Months of planning and hard work by Red paid off. And he did it for free. The hero /hg/ needs but doesn't deserve
Liam Harris
>And he did it for free What are you talking about? He's a company leutienent, a mod in the discord, and an admin in the club. He's overall probably the second most "powerful" person in /hg/

>try to upload a video to OneDrive >stuck at zero >do the upload studio method, quality worsens but it works >after about 30 minutes of fiddling finally get shit to work and finished >10 minutes later and the first initial OneDrive upload uploaded Is it always this fucked? Never used it before so I'm not sure if I did something wrong or not.
Sebastian Powell
But everyone played fine tonight...?
Evan White
You were fine bruh. Maybe just play more arena when you have time.
Joseph Reed
I missed him tonight
Isaiah White
This box art pissed me off. It's so cluttered with extra shit.
Kayden Wilson
>when I'm not around, people have fun in warzone >when I show up, they abandon it within one or two matches
Am I the problem, or is it /hg/ who is wrong?
Blake Watson
I always refused to buy platinum hits varients for that reason. Even though they were cheaper
Xavier Robinson
It just keeps getting worse
Julian Moore
>Halo is completely obscured in the platinum hits versions I can't help but see this as a huge oversight
Nathan Long
Honestly, I was just titled by that point in the night. I was wrecking ass earlier in the day. Just get on a bit earlier m8
Ian Murphy
The rule of thumb generally is for CE the oldest version is best but foe every other games get the limited/legendary version
Caleb Powell
Good time tonight, boys
Ayden Martinez
Probably just terrible timing, the party imploding after a couple people got off killed it. People were trying to rejoin which I assume meant maybe they could have stayed but the party refused to cooperate.
Nathan Cruz
Maybe the problem is the party itself.. At least its not on /hg/....
Michael Morales
Fear not, /hg/ is on the rise. There will be plenty of opportunities going forward
Jonathan James
There are those who said this day would never be here. What are they to say now?
Wyatt Stewart

Samuel Campbell
Who would doubt Red? What has he foretold that has not come to pass?
Justin Fisher
Soon the Great Journey shall begin. But when it does, the weight of your heresy will stay your feet. And you shall be left behind.
Adrian Lopez
Can anyone else admit that they've never laso'd a Halo game? I tried solo and felt like crying...I'm 27 btw...I feel less of a man for attempting. And it was the first stage of halo 2...friggin Johnson.
Hudson Nguyen
yee
Jackson Green
You can do it. Every level gets easier since you become more familiar with it. It's a confidence thing. Beat the first level and you can beat the whole thing. I might organize a 4-player ODST runthrough.
Eli Jones
It's that time of night. Let's see some new ones.

Halo 4/5 secondary armor color schemes are so trash....
This music touches my soul and brings me back a decade and longer
Asher Myers
jesus christ
the oldest version is the best because it came with a demo for Fusion Frenzy.
patience and time, Daniel-san. your immediate goal is to reach the next checkpoint. if you feel like you've had enough after that checkpoint, you can stop for a while and continue later. the plasma pistol is your only friend.
>Beat the first level and you can beat the whole thing except on Halo 2. every mission is its own unique challenge. >4-player ODST runthrough on MCC? count me in!
Jacob Sullivan
Is there any hope for a vehicle in a future halo installment that can hold 4 or more people?
Mason Gray
Pelican
Jason Allen
i guess i should add i would want it ingame and playable and not just for one mission in the campaign.
like a falcon with ridable seats or a working pelican in forge.
Elijah Watson
I'm not sure I'd trust my pilot.
Gabriel Williams
Post webms
Brody Clark
yeah i can see a lot of battlefield like moments of full helicopters falling then blowing up due to pilot error, but in halo the vehicles take damage from getting hit not from dropping during gameplay.
like if i were to spawn a banshee in forge and drop it even from high up it won't just explode the moment it touches the ground or at least not when i have tried.

Sup user. New?
Asher Walker
Time to spend the day getting good
William Cook
Old, just bumping the thread this morning
Noah Hill
Reminder that it will take more than a day As long as you don't give up!
What playlist are you going to main?
Colton Walker
Trudging through slayer today. Trying to focus on not sprinting as much and staying with teammates/watching for spawn flips and not getting flanked
Aiden Jenkins
Slayer alone can be frustrating. It is however less of a clusterfuck leachfest than FRA. Good luck, user
Carson Williams
>spawn flips ?
Logan Harris
When one team starts spawning in the other team's initial spawn area. A lot of games do this. Gears of War actually announces when it happens.
Logan Williams
How does this game pass for $1 thing work? Best way to exploit?
Gabriel Sanders
>halo esports scene starts growing >halo 5's maps become smaller, dull and generic >gears of war esports scene starts growing >gears of war maps become smaller, dull and generic >CoD esports scene starts growing >CoD maps become smaller, dull and generic Hmm...interesting, i'm starting to notice a pattern here, i'll let you know when i finish my research.
Josiah Hill

Landon Butler
I know i'm like 12 hours late but use xboxdvr.com instead, it's much better and faster.
Lincoln Carter
>12 hours ago
Nathan Torres
God dammit, i walked right into that one.
Ryder Baker
>halo esports scene starts growing This is false though. They've thrown so much money at it, advertising and ridiculous cash prizes and still gets no interest. They even put team skins in the fame which is laughable.
They built the game around esports and it flopped massively. Their star game mode, Breakout, also flopped. They built it up to be massive with marketing and a hype train.
Hopefully they dial it back a bit in 6. All they had to do was add ranks and ranked playlists which were missing from reach and 4 and balance the gameplay instead of marketing and developing the core gameplay around esports and esports teams.
Daniel Hill
The Halo esports scene is virtually nonexistent. The only reason HCS exists is because Microsoft is propping it up themselves. There is essentially zero professional fielding outside of it.
Aiden Murphy
future 2v2 league winners coming through
Blake Nelson
I thought all that was funded using payments.
Ian Moore
*blocks your path*
Landon Brooks
Micro payments*

>A lot of games do this >Gears of War actually announces when it happens. how horrifying. not being able to make a balanced spawn influencer shouldn't be a "feature".
there's a free two week trial, so try that first. you could work out how to min-max your time playing those games before you start the trial, to get the most out of it.
Benjamin Gray
i miss it so much bros halo 3 reminds me of the time when the subscribe button and video description was on the right on youtube and everyone made machinimas
