Looks great when finished. How heavy is it when done?
Looks good, but veto makes MM take way too long. I can't believe there is no party up.
I used to love seeing ranks before matches, it was motivation to play better. My crew would go insane when we won a match above our weight class.
H5s silly matchmaking would probably make things more annoying than it was back in the day though

Hey that's my friend Veeg! Big fan of all the UI concepts he has done. Should check out th rest on his Twitter. He also streams a lot and deserves more viewers because he's really, really good at Halo and does a good job of communicating with his chat.
Look at the scoreboard.. Top place is G.Sager Gamesager.
HE set the previous record and beat it himself, on pc I am able to pull of 26 seconds, on xbox 30
TF2 is the Tits
From r/halo dunno if it's real

Looks fake, but I'd be on board.

I wouldn't be, rather not see Jeff Steitzer out of a job hes been doing for 15 years if this catches on, bad enough we have to listen to Palmer ramble on in Warzone.
Why can't we have Firefight and Arena Spartan voices instead?! fuck I'd be on board for that!

Damn that's cool
I'm 38 year old gold/platinum scrub. If I played more consistently I could be better too. Still love Halo though. Edit: Halo is definitely the hardest FPS to get back in the groove after time away imo.
Also that Mega Blocks vulture is sweet. I have to put together and paint my Halo Ground Command set. Still have some Halo Fleet Battles ships to paint too.
Edit: I looked at the Vulture on Amazon in Canada, $130, lol
If that's real, then they surely had time to record the Voice Overs for Oddball, right? If not, at least add the already existing Voice Overs from previous Halo games, so that the gametype can oficially be supported. An Oddball skin would also be great.
Also, was there a reason we didn't get a CU this week?

It was Thanksgiving so they were probably on a short break.

This is great. Party Up system is sorely missed. The fact that the lobby does not display player's names and ranks boggles my mind to this day.

Really heavy. Lots of sections of just solid bricks. Mega Bloks seems to use way more parts than equivalent Lego sets, which I don't really mind.
Ya bro. Now I just need to buy some more shelves...
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Makes sense.

Yeah, it would be too strange hearing a different voice when playing.
Towey posted a 360 degree cam video of H5 mainstage match against E6. Pretty neat.

SR145 then SR1 Mark 1 to SR145 Mark 1 to SR1 Mark 2 to the holy grail of Mark V. What you get, who knows but that would keep you busy.
Does any game have progression forever, what happens in Overwatch, Destiny etc.?
The devs adding new content, modes should be the main attraction. Raising the bar and unlocks even further is maybe too out of reach for other players even though they will unlikely reach SR145 but it has to look reachable and not intimidating.

when do they stop giving you emblems in SR ranks?
Halo lore geeks:
A random thought popped into my head. Is there any meta story about the Halo universe's use of cryo?
Sort of like how Star Trek used warp drive as a plot device, but then later they turned it into an actual story point with implications:
, has any fiction touched on the implications of cryo? Political figures preserving themselves into a further generation to keep their ideology alive? Use as a way to imprison someone? etc?
Or is it still just "yeah, cryo is just a handy plot pause button" ?

using warp basically fucks up space time and certain systems ban the use of it and the top speed can't be used near any inhabited planet

I think there is still a max age in the halo universe. I.E Even if your in cryo and don't age, you will still die after a certain number of years.
Although the whole forerunner cryo sort of nullifies that. (I.e Didact in halo 4 or what cortana tried to do to master chief at the end of halo 5)

Umm... I'm a little bit behind on the books, but I don't think they've really done anything with that. Human cryo is also kind of tough on the body, too; most people feel pretty shit coming out of a normal length sleep, I could see prolonged freezing being pretty harmful. Chief handled it, but, well, he's a Spartan II, they tank a lot of shit most people couldn't.
(And for the record, Forerunner stasis is more space magic than cryogenics).

Yeah, was watching that. Gears eSports is super fun to watch. I just wish they played more modes then just Escalation.

I'm surprised we still haven't seen a bomb mode or CTF yet.

SR 152 which is the final SR rank.
Probably won't be free. Gamecheat said it was in a testing build of H5Forge I think. Most likely just free to on there to see if it works in the store. They tryna get their money

This way, they can take advantage of the existing customization and content delivery pathways.

I haven't played as much, but going on I think week 8 at SR149.

I know I'm late, but after playing in the CE playlist I feel that the lower TTK is amazing in Halo 5. Solves a lot of frustrations I usually have.
Youd be better off trying to join the main halogaf company.
Just send the request, and mention your Gaf name in the request. If our overlords deem you worthy, theyll get you in.

if its free, someone probably downloaded it to try it right?
Was an amazing event. The fans, the teams and orgs, the production quality. Gears is doing eSports right. Just look at the team skins they have already put out.
Next two events are held in London and Mexico before back to Columbus Ohio and then Paris and then finally Las Vegas next summer.
Edit: For an eSports scene that was nonexistent and barely had any support they had/have a lot of orgs and teams and willingness to be part of Gears and likewise the org support from the Coalition has been great.

I can't find this in the store. (no addons with this name or icon)

Yes. Gears esports has demonstrated nearly flawless execution. They recognized early in development that LAN is a must. They recognized that the esports scene would require separate settings. Their professional circuit prioritizes live events. Most importantly, the up and coming teams have frequent opportunities to prove themselves against top competition.
I just wish 343 could look inside themselves and see that their online heavy approach with esl hasn't worked, and has resulted in minimal interest from orgs.

Again, this all starts at the top. If the people at the top dont hire the right people, it trickles down and ultimately gets the result we got with halo.
They clearly hired the right people at the coalition.
