when 343 showed up they screwed with the entire game like WTF!!!

Little something I picked up from MoaHerder on HaloArchive to help people out in making speculations and such. 

Also if anyone wants to mention obesity, they can. But the post can't solely be about obesity.

But Im going to start making a forge map that I plan to work with infection as the main game mode for it and then swat and breakout.

This will look like a home depot building so a loy of racks and shelves with some small vehicles. My plan is you can climb on top of some of the shelves and such.

Anyways. Anyone is welcome to join me in this I plan to start tonight after work just add my gamertag: HOUOUIN KYOUMA7

Thank you all for letting me Rant.

Recruit

Recruit armour used by basic Spartan IVs in Halo 4 has returned in Halo 5: Guardians Very little discernible difference for this armour.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Starter armour

Air Assault

This is another armour returning nearly exactly as it's precursor in Halo 5, with a mostly similar design with slight indents that make it stand out. However, if you were hoping for a return to it's Halo: Reach format, you'll be disappointed.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs.

Recon

The classic armour is making a comeback from Halo 4 with a mostly similar helmet and slicker body details such as improved shoulder plates.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs.

Aviator

Clear cut remastering of the original armour utilized by Spartan IVs with little noticeable change, the shoulders bear a slight difference to their original form though.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs.

Recruit (BRN)

This armour is partially different with a skull paintjob on the helmet and the same details on the gauntlets and chest piece.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs.

Athlon

This is an armour new to the Halo franchise, bearing some similarities to the previously seen Bullseye armour in the Halo 4 Champions Bundle. It seems to be a common set used among spartans during training for it's durability and ease of use.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Best Buy Pre-Order Bonus; Earn in REQ Packs.

Warrior

This set was first used in Halo 4 as an early starter armour, and now follows a near exact asthetic look.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs.

Scout

Another fan-favourite armour set returning from as early as Halo 3, this remodel bears more resemblance to it's Halo 4 incarnation rather than other previous installments.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs.

Defender

Another clear remake nearly exactly akin to it's original model, the Defender armour received little aesthetic change.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs.

Centurion [Legendary]

Centurion armour was introduced in Halo 2: Anniversary in a much slimmer form than its current form. The armour became much bulkier and more akin to Mark VI designs. It is used by Spartan Fred in the campaign.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs.

Mark VI (Clean) [Legendary]

Bears resemblance to the Halo 3 version featuring a crotch piece and belt. Technically obsolete, the Mark VI [GEN1] Mjolnir armor maintains a legendary luster among Spartans and the general public.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn the “Your Journey Begins” Achievement in MCC (Unlocks Helmet & Armour) or REQs.

Mark VI (Scarred) [Legendary]

Features a shattered visor and overall rough outline to armour. The Mark VI was able to remain functional until all of its triply-redundant auto-repair and bypass nodes failed.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn the “Cairo Station" Achievement in MCC (Unlocks Helmet & Armour) or REQs.

Nightfall [Legendary]

Resembles Halo 2 and Halo 3 armour utilized by ODSTs. Spartans with Marine experience prefer NIGHTFALL armor when stationed on inhospitable worlds, due to its best-of-class life support. Not to be confused with Spartan Buck's Helljumper armour, which is bears much more of a resemblance to the typical ODST gear.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Watching the Halo: Nightfall Episode 1 Second Story unlocks the Helmet, watching all 5 episodes of Halo: Nightfall unlocks Armour. Can also be earned in REQs.

Helioskrill [Legendary]

Utilizes a slick ninja-esque design similar to the previously used Hayabusa. The HELIOSKRILL is a work of art crafted by a Sangheili prodigy inspired to test her skill against the best that humanity could muster.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn the “Legend” Achievement in MCC (Unlocks Helmet & Armour) or REQs.

Hunter [Legendary]

Hunter armour is extremely powerful and highly classified, mainly used by Fireteam Osiris’ leader Spartan Locke. Sophisticated and lethal, Hunter-class armor incorporates Watershed Division's latest warfighting technology.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Pre-Order via GameStop, etc; Can also be unlocked through the REQ system.

Noble [Legendary]

This armour very clearly derives itself from the classic Commando gear used by Spartan Carter during the Reach campaign, dedicated to the memory of Noble Team’s efforts. It retains little changes to the original form besides more plating on the chest.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs.

Breaker

A new piece of gear in the Halo franchise, Breaker has a very thinly wire plated body and is used for mainly tactical purposes. Void-hardened and sealed to meet the demanding requirements of Spartan naval intercept operation (NIO) boarding teams, Breaker armor is also well suited for missions in environmentally compromised zones.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs.

Anubis

Anubis follows in the naming style of Fireteam Osiris and bears a massive resemblance to Mark V worn by Noble Six during the fall of Reach.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs. 

Mako

Mako is a new armour set to the Halo series that has a very Oceanic feel to it with a spherical shaped head. There is also a sharkfaced variant unlockable through the REQs.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs.

EVA

The classic variant of EVA is returning once again identical to it's style in Halo 4 with the heavily armoured backside and the exposed front. Not to be confused with Hermes, Buccaneer, and Orbital which are also wide faced visor. 

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs.

Copperhead [Legendary]

Likely named after the famous snake, Copperhead is a very sleek alien-like armour design used by Spartan Vale in the campaign. A multipurpose armor system built from the ground-up for covert "special activities," COPPERHEAD armor is rarely seen since it is jealously guarded by ONI’s direct action teams.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs.

Helljumper [Legendary]

Designed as a monument to the gear used by Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, Helljumper is bulky and dauntless armour used by Spartan Buck in the campaign. The official description states that it is a pet project of Cascade's CEO, a former ODST, and that a small number of HELLJUMPER prototypes have entered Spartan service under a research partnership between the UNSC and Cascade Stronghold Technology.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs.

Technician [Legendary]

A specialized suit of armour, this is most notably used by Spartan Tanaka in the campaign. The variant is used by Spartan combat engineers and field techs. The Technician Mjolnir system features a battlenet node and custom machine interlink that can process and curate vast amounts of data.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs.

Hermes [Legendary]

The Hermes armour bears an extensive resemblance to the Buccaneer, Orbital, and EVA suits, and is worn notably by Spartan Kelly. The Enhanced Mobility Subsystem embedded in the Hermes prototype is so powerful that only a handful of Spartans can use it safely.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ Packs.

Argus [Legendary]

The Argus armor is suited for longer range engagements where a better tactical view is necessary, and is notably used by Spartan Linda. The ARGUS suit's sophisticated battlenet control node provides situational and threat awareness in all environments, as well as hardware-accelerated cyberlink connections for intelligence collection networks.

HOW TO UNLOCK: Earn in REQ packs.
 

I'll be sure to update the list as time goes on and the rest of the REQs are revealed along with how to unlock them. Let me know down below if anything new comes up that I've missed and what your favourite set so far is! Thanks for reading!

The armor unlocks in Halo 5. The armor unlocks to me are an effort to please the people who think that the way you should get armor is to unlock it and in a way it did please me... until i learned how you have to unlock them. In order to unlock the unlock able armor in Halo 5 you have to buy the Master chief collection. From what i understand you get nothing for completing the campaign on legendary because the armor you would get for completing the campaign is now impossible to get unless the bought the master chief collection and beat every Halo game on legendary. This is wrong. Someone bought your game so they shouldn't have to give you more money to get the other part of the game they already bought. You know Bungie ,the old makers of Halo and the ones who made the armor earning system perfect and the gameplay amazing, also tried to take their players money in a similar way. Do you know what happen to them? Over half the people who played their game stopped playing and actually sold their game. I couldn't even sell the game. Not even to the game store that buys games for consoles or devise that aren't around anymore because they already had twenty three copies of the game. The fact that you made it to where all the older armor was only unlock able through the master chief collection really made me mad. New players to Halo don't have the master chief collection so you just gave them a big middle finger and people who cant afford the master chief collection cant get the armor too so now you guys are taking away their ability to take their mind off of life and the stresses of it because the immersion of the game just got hit by a ******* truck. When i played Halo Reach i never once fell out of immersion. I played Halo Reach's campaign multiple times and each time i always feel like i am part of the Noble team. I have yet to be immersed by Halo 5's campaign. I stopped playing after i decided that while the campaign was better than i thought it would be it is still pretty terrible and needs a better story. There is a big gap between Halo 4 and Halo 5's campaign. While it was okay to leave a gap between Halo Reach and Halo 4 because master chief was a freezer burrito and didn't know what happen it is not okay to do the same to halo 5 because a lot has happened since then. Through the whole line of Halo games there has never been a gap in campaigns that wasn't at least mentioned. As i said the Halo 5 campaign is repetitive and i stopped playing because all my team mates are only useful to get me up when an enemy grunt pulls out his shiny new dying ******* star of some far away place that i don't know because i bought the game for fun and i only catch up on the history of halo when it directly relates to the game. The campaign is easy the only hard part is trying to find the ammo to fire back at the enemy and trying to not die from a heat seeking nuclear bomb.

Honestly i think REQ packs could be useful if used correctly. I think that REQ packs should only be used for weapon skins, weapon variants,  and vehicle variants. While we are on the subject of weapon variants i think that you shouldn't have to open a REQ pack for a DMR because in every Halo with the DMR in it you could've used the DMR just as easily as you could've used the assault rifle. I also think that you should go back to military ranks instead of spartan ranks because it feels more immersive and it feels like you accomplished something, not just ranked up. One thing that i think everyone should keep in mind is that Halo Reach succeeded because everything in the game ran with each other. Everything from the ranking system to the armor design to even the map design all ran with each other making it feel like you were actually at someplace during a time. Each set of armor was different but still had the same rouged feel, and every map was different but still felt like they were built during an industrial age. The colors reflected the mood which was serious and sad. As the campaign progressed the world was crumbling and the feeling of helplessness started to set.Each mission had an important task to do not a get from point a to b but a get from point a to b by going around massive maps and completing objective which now in Halo 5 would be considered a mission per objective, but in Halo Reach one mission had possibly over twenty objectives. The ending where you die showed just enough to show that you've died but it showed so little that it would make you want to redo the campaign because you felt like maybe the second time it will be different, maybe the second time Noble team will live. No two missions were the same thanks to those and that is what Halo 5 is lacking and to be perfectly honest Halo 4 too. Even though the Halo Reach campaign was one of the hardest campaigns to complete people still played it because it was fun and it hooked people. People ended up playing Halo Reach's campaign for the story not the challenge or the fun. That's what Halo 5 is lacking. Even in the matchmaking you are reminded of the campaign in many different ways. You guys also changed so much about the armor that is to honor Noble team by changing the names and the look. Commando is now Noble and you now look like an iron man rip off. and the same with the others too. You should've made the recruit armor from Halo Reach and named it Noble 6.

There is a lot to complain about in Halo 5 but i'm thankful that i can play a Halo 5 because with out 343 Halo  probably would've stopped or for all we know would've been complete trash. One last thing. Maybe next Halo game they should make like stances or something that you only get if you live in a certain state. I also mainly was sort of yelling at 343 so i said you a lot but if someone would like to add or comment on something i said its a free country so go ahead and voice your opinion on the matter.

Overall the most bugging thing to me is that your teammates get the boss take down while you don't even though you rushed in and risked your life. There is just a guy from across the map shooting with an AR and gets the take down. Please address this 343! 

The only real big idea I had was it is split between 3 teams: Blue Team, Osiris, and The Swords of Sanghelios. That team has Thel 'Vadam, Rtas 'Vadum, Makhee 'Chava, and Tul 'Juran.

Now! If Micro$oft holds true to their word then supposedly EVERY Xbox one game will be available on PC as well, thus more profits for Micro$oft from PC gamers!

​I firmly believe Micro$oft will effectively kill Xbox in the long run with this program because what was once an 'Exclusive' game will now be available to all PC gamers everywhere! SO! Why would anyone want a inferior experience on a console when they can get the best possible experience on a reliable PC for a fraction of the cost of a console and upgradeable options in the future.

Consoles are a dying breed and Micro$oft should turn their attention to their PC fan base, just look at Halo 5: Forge... sure it doesn't have campaign or a REAL matchmaking system but darn it! It's beautiful on the PC and it's common knowledge that games WILL run better on a gaming PC anyway.

Anyway enough about my rant but I'm just about to jump ships once the next Halo game releases on PC.

Felt like writing more but I'm sleepy so meh.

March 22nd, following the loss to CLG in HWC, Cratos and Suspector left Team Allegiance. Commonly of Evil Geniuses left this same day and was replaced by Cratos who left ALG.

March 23rd, Naded also leaves Allegiance leaving El Town to be the only member left.

On April 5th, El Town also left Team Allegiance leaving them without a roster. Naded joined Optic Gaming this same day after a couple of its members left joining Halo 3 vets Ace (who didn't rejoin until April 9th) and Flamesword and competitive player since Halo 2: MaNiaC.

April 9th, alongside Ace leaving Team Liquid to rejoin Optic Gaming, Huke and bubu dubu are released from Denial. They didn't leave they were released! The two best players!

In wake of this, two days later on April 11th, Huke and bubu dubu join Cratos (previously from Allegiance) and Shooter (previously from a not-well-known team named Winterfox) to create a brand new team named Enigma6.

April 14th, two members left Renegades and those spots have been filled by Commonly (previously from EG) and Penguin (previously from eLevate).

This thread is for Halo 5: Guardians eSports news, roster changes, tournament and general discussions including favorite teams, players, etc. Personally I've been a fan of Snip3down, Roy, and Lunchbox since Halo 3 and that makes me a pretty big, but disappointed, EG fan.

The next event will be a mini-tournament at PAX East on April 24th featuring:

Evil Geniuses

Snip3down

Roy

Lunchbox

Suspector

Team EnVyUs

Mikwen

Rayne

iGotUrPistola

eL TowN

Enigma6

Huke

bubu dubu

Cratos

Shooter

Optic Gaming

Ace

Naded

See for one thing i think games in general are just time wasters... to me video games are those things that just fill in gaps in between time that i have zero **** to do and want to exert the most minut amount of intlectual power possible.

not saying they are a complete wate of time just that they are good for wasting time to get you to that next stage in the day when you have to actually be productive and something you do will actually effect your life or society in general.

So to the point we all have played plenty of warzone to know that there re times when the boss kill seems like a very annoying random bad referee call.

For example the last game I'm playing on Skirmish of Darkstar or whatever its called, I go and get me my REQ saw The Answer, a very bad ass SAW and I'm doing great because at this point endurance of will has spawned and has been around for some time...

so I rush to his location I run a few rounds into him pop around cover as a teammate gets blasted and dies. I Reload then continue my attack... I repeat this one more time... now I'm n my last clip I'm blasting this thing it goes boom but palmer says the enemy eliminated endurance of will ... and my whole team is DEFUQ... yes like 5 teammates and me all were baffled because we were giving constant firepower into him one with a fuel rod cannon me with The Answer and several BR shots but go figure one dufus runs up with a regular magnum ( I know this because I killed him and saw he had a AR and a magnum ). and yes the magnum was the paper to our Rock,

Now I know some are like well that's just skill or its your fault you didn't kill him first but lets think more logically and use this perspective... you want to promote more REQS as a company to sell them to make that side profit right... well when you have people use REQs over and over and over again and not gain anything well people buy less REQS.

Think of it this way when I heard palmer say the enemy killed him and we essentially lost the lead it wasn't that we lost the kill because the enemy overwhelmed us and they destroyed him no it was because eon guy got the lucky ini mini miny mo choice and they got the full 150 while we got spent REQS and pointless efforts

and that's just the point is that a player in halo 5 puts in x amount of effort and should be compensated for such effort in some form. not saying we should get points but there has to be a better way to determine the win on that perhaps if on team only lands one shot they don't get full points... I don't know really

the thing is when I heard they eliminated them all I heard was hey you know that REQ you used it was for nothing you know that time you put in it was for nothing, the time it took to even get to that level of REQ was for nothing meaning f you used a level 6 REQ and now you are at zero its tkes time to get back to at least 5 RQ points to use nothing in the game based on skill effects the reload time of req points so essentially if you use a req and you die instantly your SOL.

Now you have enough reqs to get the saw I had you pull it out waste more points and are one less REQ richer, you destroy the boss nicely but the kill goes to the other team even though you saw you bullets spray him he gooes boom and you get no candy.

for people like me I just goo its just a game to some point but at one point you have to realize you put in some form of time and effort into this and there comes a point where the kill ofa boss is not down to skill rather just luck its not like you can time the shot a split second faster than the pistol shot the jhuman eye cannot process that quickly.

so what happens is people will start to just hord HIgh level REQ stuff because things like flying vehicles are easy to spawn camp 343 put no effort in making multiple spawn points for them they spwn In the same place at the same time hell I spawned camped 3 banshees and a phaeton that's not really a strategy when a 5 year old can decipher it. Hey my team is winning and all the air vehicls spawn there let me sit back with my Spartan laser and just go to town and while I wait I can go and spawn a second Spartan laser variant and have zero cool down time yay. also hide in  my base be safe from inomng fire and still camp vehicles that have zero chance to evade

I mean  iv seen less and less vehiles be spawned by a team at one point because people don't see the point I mean yea it could turn the tide but really will it if the team gets a random shot and wins the game by luck because yes warzone is part skill and mostly luck. sometimes your in the right spot for things to happen and sometimes you have a skilled team but iv seen skilled teams lose the boss kill to some random pistol guy.

so that's my rant I'm just a bit annoyed and feel like having two life bars for each team is a simple way of putting it so if one team does less effort to attack the boss they get rewarded less. you get what you worked for ye I understand this takes away the whole boss steal stuff but let me point this out.

people say its sucks when the second team has better and higher REQS but defend it by saying its because they are putting in the effort bt why is it when it comes to bosses the whole idea of separate life bars to rewards team effort is bad is kinda  confuses me and seems biased see the team with higher reqs is not complaining because they mad that effort.

Also I can see people saying well if the team with higher reqs is dominated the other team will lose moral and quit... yea id rather lose moral over being dominated than lose moral over the most random of things impacting a win or loss.

and for gods sakes please give us another voice besides sarah palmer and I kinda wish she wasn't so cheerleadery like let hr say your falling behind get your ass into gear **** like that that way its not like ok guys we may be losers but we can still get to the enemy core seriously no military would do that if you fall back your leadership digs into your ass. or will peoples feelings get hurt to easily.

Why am I even being paired into a game with someone ranked as an onyx when I'm ranked as a silver 2.

Also, I find it quite frustrating to be paired into a game with two people...un-ranked on their apparent first halo 5 game they ever played. The two people were shown as 2's after the game, and it indicated in their service record that this was their first and only game thus far, yet they destroyed myself and another way more experienced player 25:0 in a 2v2 game.

Just curious!

Thanks
