>Halo 5: Guardians has received a major weapons tuning update that radically changes up the gameplay. This update has gone into effect in all arena playlists, warzone playlists, and even custom games. For a full list of changes, see the link here: halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/weapon-tuning-update
Let me know if any YEETs are happening or if anyone here wants to get Monster Hunter party chats going on Friday.

Cameron Jenkins
And awaaaaaaaaaay he goes
Isaac Baker
I'm new. What is the yeet?
Jaxson Powell
Fucking WHY
Wyatt Thomas
I'll get on 5 in a few minutes if you wanna play.
Grayson Wright
>threads lasting 2 days >new anons >more people hosting THE. NEW. GOLDEN. AGE.
Jaxon Cook
Feels good
Owen Russell
Just in time for the holidays too
Jeremiah Martinez
>more new people with no idea of what /hg/ even is A place for Halo fans to talk about and play Halo together? Fuck off with your secret club. Most of you cunts don't even play Halo.
Josiah Bell
Now now. No need to dampen the new thread with unnecessary drama
Jackson Murphy
Not tonight.
Xavier Scott
Secret Club stuff is dumb, but bringing people into "/hg/" who literally don't know what that even means is dumb. If a new person stumbles on this thread and wants in then by all means, let them. But if some random messages on waypoint begging to get achilles or some shit they shouldn't be let in. Maybe they should apply to the thousands of other Spartan Companies that aren't based off of a pre existing community.
Levi Johnson
> >if some random messages on waypoint begging to get achilles or some shit they shouldn't be let in. Good thing that's not what's happening then.
Easton Gray
hahaha whatever you say, sweetie
Xavier Collins
All of the leuitenants are anti-achilles cuck so you have nothing to worry about.
Ethan Clark
Believe what you want to believe. You're wrong though.
Julian Watson
How do I beat prophet of regret on legendary halo 2. I have been in his fucking boss fight for an hour now and I've just about lost my mind Getting 4 mounts so close to killing him and he drops me off by 3 elite honor guards I can't take this shit anymore
Thomas Morales
I don't even know how I did it, user. You have to get really lucky with his teleports and Elite placement/pathing. Try and stick any Elites you see before jumping on his chair.
Kevin Reyes
Sweaty said there was a sword glitch thing for like an instakill when we tried streaming that level.
Charles Lee
Don't try to hide. Keep moving! Have a plasma weapon and carfbine/BR equipped for easy headshots on honor guards.
Samuel Turner
>Have a plasma weapon and carfbine/BR equipped The only way to play legendary.
Camden Bell
Not really. For starters maybe
Ayden Ramirez
Well, no. But that user was having trouble so I thought I'd give him some advice for making it easier.
Joseph Lewis
Happy Holidays, /hg/!
Ryan James
The elites with plasma rifles melt me everytime I touch the ground and no amount of shooting will kill with that much line of sight
Ryder Jenkins
This actually came out really well
Carter Rogers
How well do you know /hg/?

Jacob Butler
Is castle wars even that fun?
Owen Cox
It can be
Daniel Long
Removing the spread from the BR was a mistake
Josiah Ortiz
I mean on one hand at least it's not useless anymore compared to the pistol. But yeah it's dumb that it's a sniper again.
Henry Perez
I don't know why they didn't just slight nerf the magnum instead of breaking the BR again
Evan King
343 is terribly scared of criticism. They backpedal harder and faster and more consistantly to mob mentality than any dev I've ever seen. It's because of this lack of self-belief that I don't have much hope for the narrative of the series going forward. They will just keep sodt-rebooting new story artcs until they finally come up with one as super safe as possible that takes no risks.
Mason Clark
iirc if you kill a certain amount of enemies, it'll spawn more. so if you keep the rooms enemy count at a certain level, it won't spawn more. you should always be moving in that room. jumping between levels, evading sword elites. not really killing any of them, unless they're right in front of you, explicitly shooting at you.
a lot of it is luck, but you can improve your odds by evading. do thinks like throw grenades to change an enemy's path.
Asher Ross
Fast
Kayden Morgan
I don't expect to be known yet because I keep changing my helmet every time I get on and can't decide if I actually like it. Part of me wants to use Mark V helm but too many others already do. I'm just going to say I'm "happy" with it for now until I get the Noble helm
Colton Turner
There's no need to adhere to a non-changing armor set. It's just something some anons do.
Camden Baker
Damn that's pretty impressive
William Collins
>Pre order Halo 5 and you get Hunter armor which is a Legendary set >Jump through a series of increasingly time consuming hoops part of a company to unlock Achilles >Achilles is only an Ultra Rare set >People who pre ordered have a higher tier of armor than all those people who spent ages grindig commendations for an armor set that doesn't even look that nice How can Achillesfags ever recover?
Anthony Sanchez
Achilles is only Ultra Rare because it looks fucking stupid

Bentley Davis
None of them are that much better than any others that they could possibly fend off all the rest. Therefore I choose Saber. At least I'll die pretty.
John Bell
Fuck this is kind of hard
Henry Jones
Unironically bungie
Ian Rodriguez
Is it Nu-Bungie or Classic Bungie?
Jace Ramirez
Yeah this is important If it's just concerning each studio's halo-related work, then I pick Bungie. If it's concerning the studio's entire history, then I'll go with Ensemble. If it's just each studio as they currently operate, then I have to pick Certain Affinity.
Oliver Rogers
if old-Bungie, then them. if nu-Bungie, then Certain Affinity.
Wyatt Watson
I bought the Halo 5 console and all we got was a shitty variant of FOTUS anyone can get in a pack. They could have at least made FOTUS exclusive to collectors editions. Its shit armour anyway though
Isaiah Morgan
This.
Alexander Clark
FOTUS is Reddit-tier meme armor "OMG GUIZ I LOOK LIKE A UNICORN XD"
>what's most popular is shit, therefore everything is shit! Please. All entertainment industries work the same way. TSwift's "Reputation" was the best selling album of this year. There were still plenty of quality records released by other artists. The Last Jedi is the the highest grossing film of the year, but there are still and ways will be plenty of enjoyable movies. The gaming industry is no different. If anything, the only thing people shouild take away from this is that direct democracy is a terrible way to run things. Thank God we live in a Republic.
Luke Hall
Well said
Tyler Young
Each of those industries are motivated by money and what can make them the most money. Nothing else. The thoughts and opinions of consumers are disregarded for greed. Games like WW2 and Destiny 2 making so much money just tells devs that microtransactions are still ok, and that providing a sequel that doesn't really develop on the first as well as shady business tactics like force people to pay for expansions if they still want to actually play the game is perfectly ok. Was their uproar over these things? Sure. But they've still sold really well, so it can't be all bad, right? That's what the companies are thinking. They see these games doing well and think that's what the consumer wants. Casuals are ruining gaming and if you don't see that, you're part of the problem.
Joseph Thomas
The same shit happens in the other industry. Every single movie studio is trying to get their own expanded universe up and running because of the MCU success. Quality films haven't stopped being produced. The same goes with ganes. In fact, 2017 was one of the better years in a while.
Charles Rodriguez
Post GT. Let's see what games your great superior taste enjoys.
Oliver Walker
Chaosdroid2
Angel Cox
The most popular shit has almost always been just as casualized relative to everything else out there. If you think otherwise then it's just your nostalgia getting in the way.
Bentley Green
So confident and forthcoming that you can't even spell your own GT correctly... wow.
Until you're willing to put your opinion where your mouth is and post your GT, then it will be in the trash. But we both know you're not going to because chances are a huge chunk of your playtime is in the very same AAA visualized trash you claim to be so above. You're just a hippocrite.

Nah. You guys are wrong. Cod WW2, Destiny 2, and BattlEAfront II are the high point of gaming.

Juan Cook
>still no social slayer or regular social playlist arena mode >added back castle wars again I just want to play some regular Halo 5 but I hate how sweaty the people are in ranked, why does 343 keep adding and removing different things so the game is never really complete dammit
Easton Gomez
Why don't you play up to competition instead of trying to bring everyone else down to your level?
Ryan Edwards
While I agree with your reasoning, there probably still should be a social slayer option.
Brayden Harris
There's a difference between trying hard and being a tryhard, I don't want raging faggots playing armchair commander as teammates every game. Teammate being a loose word because most people treat their team like total shit if you aren't carrying the match for them. Halo's definition of "competition" is based on matchmaking rank as well, instead of something like TF2's version of comp where you find a team to skirmish and practice with, so it attracts all kinds of cancerous people I don't want to interact with.
