Nope, just 4 req cards for it.
dude, hell yes. I'll hit you up on Facebook
I've already spent more on H5 than the rest of the Halo's combined, and I don't want to spend any more, but they should have dropped gold pack prices down to spur some sales. Imagine if they went down to $3.43 a gold pack for that anniversary, how much they could have made. But they probably have data or tracking for these things.

Probably would have fewer sales since I'm pretty sure the regular price is only $2.99........
Edit: Also get hyped for HCS Las Vegas in an hour!
Had an awesome Arena match last night. I was playing with my brother and it was our first match and as it was loading there was at least a team of three on the other side and just as the match started a guy on our team bailed.
We got off to s brutal start, I was 0-6, they had over a ten kill lead followed by some tea bags. Then we started to trade kills followed by myself going on a kill streak with the sword and fuel rod. Before we knew it we tied the game. We kept trading kills till 47-47, went into OT and we somehow clutched out the win.
Super satisfying to beat a team that not only had a huge lead but were cocky.
Next game we had two more quitters......

Man, playing MCC and your field of vision feels so restricted after coming from H5. It's been too long since I've played.
I'm assuming you're referring to Halo 3 in particular?
I haven't actually measured FoV for all of the modes in MCC, but I thought they were (mostly) the same as the original games. And Halo 5's FoV isn't unusually high.

Oh I'm sure they're the same, my perception just feels off going from H5 to the older ones. H3 is definitely the worst offender. H2:A seems okay. Those are the only ones people voted for in Team Slayer when I got on.
Still got it tho:
Anyone know if these FFAs are being run on the private server? just had lag/disconnect during one of them on stream.
Please add LAN to Halo 6, 343.

Yeah, opportunity missed. Or They could have sold 3 for $3
Wow, Holmes was with 343 for 7 years. Feels like just yesterday they were producing those motion comics for Evolutions and building the studio.
(And depending on how you count it, come 2019 we'll have been in the 343 Halo epoch as long as we were the Bungie Halo period.)

i did when it launched, not anymore though.
too many annoying lobbies full of effing mongoose sumo match after match after match...
after a few days straight playing customs on PC, all i wanted was to play some fking team arena.
found it really annoying [also lots of fking customs where people remove all spartan abilities and just play fking forged H3 maps...]

You jest, but I could see it. That or a heroes focused arena game, since that's hot shit right now.

I've mentioned it before, but 343's team did an incredible job transitioning from Halo 4 to Halo 5.
They really did respond to most critiques on every aspect of the game, and I imagine Josh had a lot to do with that.
He's also been active in various Halo social communities and on Twitter.
I thank him for that and wish him the best in the future!

Network setup for mainstage was causing some issues - other stations not on mainstage were just fine. The team already reworked it so we should be good for the rest of the weekend.
To be honest, I'm happy to hear he's leaving. From all his interventions, I have never agreed with him and liked his sayings, and I think he is one of the culprits when I say Halo went off for years (with Kenneth Scott). I'm glad to hear they both left, but that doesn't mean 343 is safe now, I still think this studio will never be able to get the mantle of Halo.
Dan Ayoub is the only exception for me.
And as always, this is of course a pov.

Makes anniversary throwback playlist.
Leaves sprint, spartan charge, and ground pound on.
Sprint isnt too bad actually. But everything frustrated the hell out of me playing that new playlist for the first time last night.

I don't get these comments. Go play halo ce in mcc if you want OG halo ce gameplay?
Why is go play MCC a valid statement to throw at people now. Reminds me of the same go play Halo 2 or Halo 3 during the years of Reach and 4. MCC is a dead online game with little to no population that still has many issues.
Halo 5 since launch has had several playlists where every spartan ability is there. Even SWAT. Why are so many of you against the possibility of a temporary throwback playlist actually mirroring classic gameplay. Will you really miss motion tracker that much you cannot play a few days without it, or spartan charge, sprint, or ground pound etc.
See there is a way to play ce, right now, on Mcc. It has some issues for sure, but it's playable. You can have your ce experience any time you want. This is halo 5. It has Spartan abilities. An anniversary playlist in halo 5 with a mix of both games is an interesting, but more importantly unique, experience. Take it or leave it, but don't duplicate what's already available pls.

How long does the Anniversary playlist going to last?

I'm fine with the abilities being present but making the maps to scale with the originals doesn't always make sense, especially with Chill Out. The corridors opposite and connected to snipe room are way too cramped and with sprint the map has an overly chaotic feel. There's a reason they didn't just copy-paste Midship 1:1 with Truth.

Um no that's not it. I do play mcc if I want og halo.
I'm saying is what works and what doesn't for this new Playlist that's frustrating me in my gameplay experience so far. I'm giving feedback. Sprint works and sliding does as well.
I don't understand keeping spartan charge and ground pound. It doesn't make a balanced experience imo.

I watched some videos last night of gameplay with a 4sk Halo 5 Pistol and removed Spartan Abilities; it looked really fun. The 4sk Pistol in particular looked exactly like I wanted/expected it to be, and I think it should be tested as the default H5 Pistol. I've brought it many times in theory, how I think it could help the default sandbox, so to actually see it in action gave me some confidence that it just may be a better option than it being a 5sk.
Now, while I don't hate the Spartan Abilities, I can understand the issues people take with them. The game with "Evolved" settings looks enjoyable and more in line with classic Halo. I too think we could do without sprint and clamber, but thruster is a tricky one because while I enjoy using it, I can understand how frustrating it can be for people who dislike it. That sudden change in direction is a new thing for Halo, something that impacts just about every single encounter, and if you're someone who occasionally struggles with aiming, whether due to game settings like dead zones etc. or just because you bounce between other games, everybody thrusting after you put a few shots in them can be excruciating.
On one hand I enjoy Halo 5 as is, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited for the CGB to test these settings out, and I wouldn't be surprised if they become popular enough to sway many opinions on Halo 6's design.

Wait, so we can get REQ cards that have 4-digit REQ points? since when?! I've been playing this game almost consistently for 10 months and I never got this.
(Also last power weapon until the next content release w00t!)

I think that is for silver tier cards once you should be using them to buy gold? Or something like that.

Oh should've mentioned this was a gold pack, so it didn't come from a Silver pack.
Btw, a microsoft support survey is in our email boxes asking us how they did handling our gold pack purchases. I'm gonna give them a piece of my mind for having to wait 4 days now for these damned codes.

I think that's your refund for having no more permanent items to unlock
That's because there is a lot of awesomeness in this game, but also a lot of terrible decisions were made.

It's to tell you that you bought all cards of that level, so stop haha. Think of it as a refund, since you're out of permanent REQs to unlock. If this was a silver pack, move on to gold.
EDIT: saw you said this was from a Gold pack, so yeah, you're done. If you buy gold packs now, you'll get 6000 to make up for not having anything else to unlock.

It means you've unlocked everything you can. You get refunds in the unlock slots once you have everything. Congrats and welcome to the club.

You should get a 6000rp refund for every gold pack from now on. You basically get REQs faster than you can use them now.
Edit: What he said ^^^. Mobile didn't update and gringo is the winner.

Ah okay, but I still have cosmetic items to unlock so I'm guessing I have to go back to Silvers for a bit. See I really didn't follow "The System" and didn't learn about it until it was too late to do anything about it.
Nearly done with this collect-a-thon, save for Achilles and the special weapon skins and emblems.

Some stuff is only unlocked through commendations (emblems basically), so don't forget to take that into account.
Compared to what though?
GringoSuave89

Yup, most of what you have left is likely locked behind special packs and commendations. Since you got the gold pack refund, you got everything possible to buy with standard packs.
You want to know what's good in h5 compared to the rest of the series or what's bad compared to the rest?
And lack of gametypes, BTB BR starts, basically all competetive DLC maps, the whole discussion about servers, observer and theater mode being terrible and 343i introducing new bugs with almost every update.
Lets not pretend that those things aren't genuinely bad, too.
I guess I forgot to say "imo"
