The importance of free map packs can't be understated. To balance it, heck yeah give me cosmetic weapon mods, skins, so long as it keeps with the overall aesthetic. Shit is fun in CS.

Pretty sure that's all just a commissioned artist's mistakes highlighted against the models.

But what about Freds DMR without a scope?

Community weapon skins? Now there's an idea...

But what about Freds DMR without a scope?

We know the Spartan's look different and start with different weapons, might be a personal one? Though I think we were told they wouldn't play differently, so maybe it is just the artist taking liberties.

You know what would be nice? The ability to choose our own server region. That would be nice.

Thank fuck they listened! BTB local will be great.

I actually like the idea of playing on an EU server for once. Not every time, but the idea is appealing.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Thank fuck they listened! BTB local will be great.

I know, I was so happy when they announced that. The Master Chief Collection still has issues with server selection, so it was definitely better to allow us to choose rather then relying on the matchmaking system.

@ pantsonhead, playing on an EU server makes a massive difference.

@ Jessie, yep the MCC still has issues unfortunately.

Now I'll have nightmares... thanks.

Well usually I'm US West (California), I'm just really interested in meeting new people. And then being killed by them multiple times.

Is it monday yet guys? argh agonizing waits.

Lol if you are on the west coast, then pop in for a game. Feel the frustration of needing six br headshots to drop someone when they can drop you in three!!! It is horrible.

I'm in the EU, it is like what I just described for me 90% of the time as I get put in US servers... Choosing where you play will be bliss in halo 5.

There's probably some cosmic justice involved, getting my just deserts for being part of the US Server bourgeoise all these years and feeling the pain of the across-the-pond players.

The new MP mode will likely 99.9% have weapon customization.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

The new MP mode will likely 99.9% have weapon customization.

I personally would not be against Primary Weapon customization in the Arena Combat if it is just cosmetic (and doesn't affect gameplay). Like changing the way Smart Scope looks by adding/changing scopes on primary weapons (BR, DMR, AR, Pistol, etc).

I wouldn't either, but I could see them not allowing it to avoid man babies throwing tantrums.

 

[Raide]

If the new MP mode is larger scale Battlefield style combat (I so hope!!) then I hope it is class based and added customisation. Start as a Grunt, prove your worth, get to be a slightly shiner grunt with a sparkly gun!

 

[jelly]

Team killing should change you into a grunt but people may love that so maybe not.

Turns you into a Sleeping Grunt.

You don't just add a holosight to the AR like that by mistake or by artistic error.

You guys think we'll ever get the pro-pipe back? Getting triple kills with it was the best

I wish, pretty much the only thing from Reach I loved. But I think they released some data saying no one ever used it, too hard of a weapon for AR kids.

That's a shame. :/

The Grenade Launcher was probably the best thing about Reach, would love to have it back.

And about weapon customization, I wouldn't mind if it was purely cosmetic. Halo 4 already had some of that and it didn't bother me at all.

They had little butt jet-packs in Halo 4 and I defy someone to tell me that shit wasn't adorable as fuck.

I just wanna play a Medic Grunt!

Cosmetic micro transactions incoming.

Not that I think that's a problem, I welcome cosmetic micro transactions in lieu of free map DLC.

I'd rather they stick to the new grunts. Just add the humor of the old.

Our in depth market research and focus groups tell us funny grunts arent dark or gritty enough.

Aren't there usually multiple models for grunts in Halo games? #teamgruntdiversity

I think the baby shark looking grunt is adorable.

Just let us play as a grunt and when you do the assassination move, whisper something really nasty.

 

[Overdoziz]

The grenade launcher is easily the best gun in any Halo.
