Well you are on a team with 11 others. It would be equally shitty if you were fighting against 11 scorpions at once right? There must be balance padawan...
They're taking a knife to the visor. Makes sense it'd be weaker. And apparently those knives when wielded by Chief can punch straight through the armor of a Lich, so... *shrug* Close enough for me.
Did annoy me that in the cutscenes sometimes in Halo 5 the damage output of the weapons was wacky compared to the in-game power (that fight with 'Mdama's group especially.)

Would like some advice from good players!
I am not very good at this game. I don't have the time I did when I was younger to play 4 hours a day and git gud, so I thought I'd try to break down people's general strategy.
Do you aim for the head?
What is your usual evasion strategy? Example -- I usually end up jumping and trying to keep my reticle on my opponents head during a one on one exchange. Do you guys strafe? Zig-zag? Hover in mid air? Duck (this one seems to work better than you'd think it would)?
What is your preferred weapon between Pistol and Auto Rifle, and why?
What is up with the pistol? It seems insanely overpowered and seems to work better at a distance than the Assault Rifle.
Thanks guys, I'd actually like everyone to answer these questions if possible, very curious to see how you guys/gals get down.

Yes, aim for the head. Strafe. Use your thruster packs. A big part of getting good is learning map flow and spawns.

But to have your Halo skills bashed is just hurtful and personal.

Yes, aim for the head. Try not to continue the habit of jumping. This actually makes you easier to hit. It's one of the biggest rookie mistakes. Strafe and use thrusters. Also mix in standing still with your strafing. Strafe a bit and they expect you to continue strafing stopping in your tracks can throw them off and cause them to miss shots.
Update tomorrow, two new episodes of The Sprint soon too right? Hype!

I'm only platinum but this is how I do things...
Aim for the body until you see the shields flare, then for the head.
Don't jump if you're out in the open, your "path" will be determined until you land/thruster after that so it's easy to hit you. Use the thruster to try to force the enemy to miss shots. Crouching works but don't stay crouched for more than a moment (don't use crouch toggle).
The pistol is a very good all-around weapon and can go head-to-head with other precision weapons at mid range. It's much harder to use than the Assault Rifle at close range though, so use them accordingly. The assault rifle also does extra damage for headshots after shields are down by the way, it's not a one shot kill like the pistol though.
Yeah I'm getting this at least once a match, so freaking weird.

You guys seem to be convinced the BTB update is tomorrow and I hope that's true, but where was this confirmed?
All I have ever heard about the update's release is that it's coming this week, no further details. What did I miss?

Wasn't it Dec 10th or something?
I feel like this needs more support:

It's not that bad really... Rail guns are a common req, so are plasma pistols...
Just make sure you spend a massive load on Bronze before you start buying anything else... It'll give you everything you need to be competitive in Warzone.

Great advice from everyone, please keep it coming!
By thrusters you mean B, right? Does anyone hover and shoot? Seems kinda lame since you're stationary

I need that Shinobi armor
Hover, when used in the right situations, is an amazing tool in your arsenal.

(unless you have a seriously good reason for the late entry - that, or your clip is amazing)
I am looking forward to getting stuck in.
71 Spartans have submitted clips, including myself.
Averages at about 4 clips per Spartan, at 30 seconds per clip. (Some users have submitted 10 or more clips)
Works out around 2 hours 15 minutes worth of footage to edit, not that I'll use all of it.
Wish I could put a more exciting intro together (I have a cool idea) - anyone here any good with Aftereffects or anything like that?

Holy crap, good luck with that! My clips were pretty average compared to some of the great clips posted here, hope to make the cut regardless!
lol, wtf??
You get a standard amount of points for completing the match...
Then the rest of your score is dependant on where you land in the standings...
Can you this clip in?
THIS is the reason I haven't completed the campaign yet. Because I was foolish enough to think I'd do it on legendary... with THIS guy:

One clip per user should be enough I think lmao.
Damn. Only sent in 3 myself.

So nobody has any evidence supporting the claim that BTB comes out tomorrow? All I've heard is that it's this week, but that could be Friday.
I think you are right

I read that when it was originally posted, and I was thinking omorrow was the day too... Wishful thinking...
I do wish 343i could be better with dates and confirmations.

Finally got around to finishing my solo legendary playthrough, took about 14 hours. I think there's slightly too many fights against prometheans in very similar arenas towards the end but otherwise it's a very solid campaign and one of the least frustrating ones on legendary without being any easier. Your team mates are actually quite useful if you target enemies for them and micromanage their positions a bit, I wiped fewer times on legendary than I did on heroic once I got the hang of it.
Edit: skipped the three Warden fight because fuck that.
