I Am not able to connect to multiplayer Games
It says "the multiplayer feature is blocked due to your xbox live settings.Please make sure you have the correct Xbox live Account and your family settings are turned off "
but i am only using one account and i tried everything, it still does not not work!!!! (i am allowed able to use xbox live for other games btw)
The account must be the one with the XBL subscription on it. You can't use an accounted granted access to XBL. Check the family settings to see if any of them reverted or restricts your account.

To attempt to get help from 343, go post on the Official Halo forums on Halo Waypoint. However, this glitch seems familiar to me. There may be a solution listed somewhere on the Forgehub forums. Go post there, odds are someone has had the same issue and can help.

After playing 5 or so games of this beta i seeing a game that has the potential to be a great addition the the long list of RTS games. I have played this type of game since westwood studios released Command & Conquer on playstation and followed the C&C series up to C&C Generals zero hour and can honestly say that this franchise is still by far the best RTS games ive played. The halo wars RTS has the potential to be a great game as the defining faction involved in the halo series make for some real strong and also very different armies each with their own strenghts n weaknesses, i am concerned however that this beta posses some potentially damaging aspects that failed some other games in this genre. The first thing i noticed was the unit cap, not only does this limit the unit capacity to 60 (80 after upgrade) this limit is reduced further by the fact that the heavier units reqiure substantial amount of units value, example the scorpion tank counta as 7 units and the vulture counts as 9 restricting the players ability to COMMAND an effective army, some say this increases strategic play, i say this destroys it as a different factions should have the strengpoints and weakpoints EXAMPLE in C&C generals usa use patriot missile base defences effective against vehicles and air craft but can be easily destroyed by even the basic infantry units. I also hate the fact that the game uses a firebase that has very limited structures requiring upgrade of the main base to provide more, this effectively dictates what players can do, how thay do it, how much they can build and where they can build it. They could take the C&C tiberium wars idea that the main construction base has a build area around it and constructs to be placed inside, this would limit building space but still give the player the choice of where to put them, the restriction on resource / unit buildings could b limited numerically,( a firebase giving 2 of each resource n 1 of each unit building, increasing the numbers as the base is upgraded but not dictating where they are placed).The base defences are also limited and restricted to the four corners of the firebase, how do u construct an effective defence from that..... u cant. I also noticed it utilises 2 types of resourses from supply pod and generators and both are used like money to be spent on everything, im not quite sure which is important to have most of, an also if this is a good or bad thing
You might enjoy the Age of Empires series. It is similar in the balancing techniques and general style of play of the Halo Wars series, since the original Halo Wars game was made by Ensemble Studios, who made Age of Empires.
As for which resource is worth more, it depends on the style of play and which units you focus on. Generally Supply is used for practically everything, while Energy is used mainly for upgrades, vehicles and research. Rush or spam builds will focus on just supply, while defensive and juggernaut builds using multiple units will focus more on energy.
Since the game is in beta, odds are the unit cap is purposefully low. Many RTS betas have lower unit caps to test the servers, general play and balance, tactics, etc. I expect ther unit caps to be much higher in the full version.

The Immunity Icon has been claimed. The player with the Immunity Icon can use it as follows.
1. When the Team Council to vote someone off happens, and before the votes are announced, you may play the Icon to grant yourself immunity in the vote. All votes cast against you are voided. However, if you have the icon and do not play it when asked (I will say something to the effect of "Before I announce the results, does anyone have an Immunity Icon they wish to play?"), votes will be counted against you.
2. You may give the Immunity Icon to another player. This can be in private or in public, but you must inform me of who you give it to. Once you give it away, it's gone, unless someone gives it to you.
3. Should you be voted off, the Icon does not transfer to another player, and is removed from the game alongside you.
4. You cannot play the Immunity Icon for another player. You may give it to them, but they must decide whether to play it or not.
5. This Immunity Icon will be void should you reach the individual competitions that the last six players will do.
6. You can lie about having (or not having) the Icon. You can publicly or privately share whether you have an icon (or lie).
7. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Also, if you haven't already, try the Immunity challenge for fun. No one has been able to beat it under an hour so far. I’d like to see a new record.

The Icon has been Released: http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/44255-halo-survivor-immunity-icon/
As for location, do you mean general position or the actual XYZ coordinates?
I'm looking forward to taking down Drako!I will be needing an object description and the location. Coordinates work, but the general location should suffice.
25th I am off at 5:30pm AZ time MTN STD. I will be home and ready at 6:30pm. I know it is late, but that is my only time
thanks for the heads up. Does this time conflict with other people? That would be 8:30 PM EST.

Halo Survivor Immunity Icon Quest
As of this post going up, the map and gametype will be released for the Immunity Icon. Contestants should download each and then hop into a custom game alone to find the hidden object. This will take at least an hour, so feel free to come back to finding it if you don't have the time to spend. Once you find the hidden object, send me a PM here on the forums detailing what the object is and where it is (A description is preferred, but coordinates also work). The first person to correctly answer the identity and location shall earn the Immunity Icon, which will prevent the player from being voted off in a Team Council once. Should the Icon be used, that player is up for elimination again after another challenge.
Map: Journey
Gametype: Travel
Link to sikslik7's Fileshare: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-5-guardians/xbox-one/map-variants?lastModifiedFilter=Everything&sortOrder=BookmarkCount&page=1&gamertag=sikslik7
Follow these clue in order to find the hidden object on the map.
Welcome challenger, to a treasure hunt, for something that will put you in front.
Just follow my clues, for I will not lie, but some brains you may need to apply.
In this countryside I’ve left a clout, for it you use it, you won’t be voted out.
Before you begin, I’ve left you a present. Why? Simply because I am a gent.
Standing at the pedestal, look for a ball in the trees. To begin your journey, go there if you please.
From the orb, look towards the sun, then much below it aim your gun.
It is in your view, so travel to the lone larch, and from there, go through the arch.
Once past the arch, go to your left. There is a challenge to test if you’re deft.
At the summit, the window will show, the location of the next clue, now go.
Now at that place, look for a second button, which should be a breeze. Now go find the rock, hidden in the trees.
From this rock, only one building is in view. There you shall find, your next clue.
A hidden button has now appeared, then look for the change, for its direction has been steered.
Follow the change, and again look for a button, and once pressed, look through a rectangle to find the place next addressed.
At the place in the rectangle, look around, then follow the door, for there the next clue is in store.
Stand at its center, and look out towards sea, the highest cliff is the key.
From this height, don’t lose your grip, just look down to the shadow’s tip.
Now follow the shadow’s peak, as it is the odd tree you must seek.
From this tree, the next place is in view. I’ll give you a hint, it has a hue.
Now at this place is your next clue, of where to be to start the journey anew.
Standing at the bottom, you see a bridge, I can only allege. Look to your left, and there is a ledge.
At the ledge’s edge you find yourself. Look at the tallest peak, and then slowly down, to the first rock you must sneak.
Standing on the peak of this cliff, look at the sun, then straight down, a lone rock you shall see. Go there at once, the next clue it will be.
Crouch on the top, and look for where two peaks consult, one of a mountain, and one of Basalt.
Standing on the closer summit, where you just stood cast your sight. Rotate left, until the left line of the wedge becomes the right.
This wedge is with you all the time, no-matter where it is you climb.
Now walk to the top of that large rock extension. From there the place to go is a small watery reflection.
Follow the tracks away from where you came. Yeah, this clue is fairly lame.
Keep going until you find four of a kind. The one in the wrong direction you should mind.
Stand on the flattest of the small rocks, and look towards the tower. Walk forward till you cannot despite the power.
Now crouch in this bend, until it is negative. The next place you can see, I’m positive.
Once there, look to where it should target. March in that direction until you get wet.
Ten Steps forward is all you now need. Now the object you should take heed.
The on the forums, send me a message. If you answer correctly, you get the leverage.
Tell what I have hidden and where it is seen, and I grant you your wish that this object does bring.
Good Luck and good hunting. Once the Icon is found, I will make an announcement.

The Icon will be given to the first person to complete the Immunity Icon Challenge, which shall be released at 11 AM EST on June 17th. Check here on the forums for the Announcement Thread, which will detail where to find the map and Gametype, as well as a set of clues in order to find the Icon. The First contestant to find the Icon and send me a PM on this site with the correct location and the identity of the hidden object with win the icon. They shall receive a PM detailing how to use the Icon should they want to use it.

If possible, I would like to conduct the first Challenge on Saturday June 25th at 11 AM EST. If that does not work for you, please respond below and offer alternative dates and times for which you will be available that weekend.

Never cheated in my life with halo, I've had nothing but random disconnects (no other games affected just HALO) now I am apparently under matchmaking rules for misconduct? Who do I contact about this?
Thanks
Chris
Sounds like you've been reported by other players or have gotten repeated bans for dropping games. Halo 5's bans for reports and dropping is very harsh for very little. I suggest you go post on Halo Waypoint, and try to get it cleared up there.

I am not worried about Halo Wars 2. Honestly, I don't think 343i is really involved with the project that much, other than from a Lore Perspective. The team that Creative Assembly has working on HW2 made Alien Isolation and is experienced working on games entirely by themselves. I expect a product that is finished and will be updated well.
As for Halo 6, I don't expect any news or trailers, but would not be surprised by a spinoff similar to ODST.
For Halo 5, 343i needs to push gametypes and increase the gametype settings. We have lost settings in CTF, Assault, and Strongholds when you compare them to past gametypes. We still don't have built-in one sided objective gametypes (they have to be forged into the map, and makes the normal version unplayable). We don't have oddball, a true KotH variant, extraction, Regicide/VIP, Stockpile, or other gamemodes in other Halo games. Half of the reason why stuff like Action Sack and minigames in Halo 5 are slowly coming out is the lack of gametypes. Many minigames need a specific gametype to run properly, otherwise heavy honor rules have to be put into effect. Scripting is great, but we also need the gametypes to accompany them.

Sorry, we can't help you, as we are just a community forum, but I suggest you try a few things.
1. Check your connection and router. there may be an issue connecting properly to the servers.
2. Reinstall Halo 5
3. Try Xbox Support
4. Post on HaloWaypoint, 343i's official forums.

Would love to see any cheeky trailers from Rockstar ie Red Dead Redemption 2 and also a bit more on Halo Wars 2.
Would hate to see the crowd go wild for CoD Infinite Warfare over it's regurgitated game mechanics.
Red Dead Redemption is the second game in the Red Dead series. Odds are it will be called Red Dead: "word starting with R"

Good, I've been waiting to see this for many months now. Glad to see it's moved along greatly in the last few months.

I want to see Halo Wars 2 news, gameplay, and lot more. I want to know how it has changed, and if it will be more like the Age of Empires games that Ensemble made which the original Halo Wars was based off of, or will it be more similar to the Total War Series, which Certain Affinity is known for. Although I love both series, I think the Age of Empires route would be better.
I would also be interested in seeing more about the future of Halo 5. I wouldn't be surprised to see some forge or firefight footage, or maybe a DLC pack announcement.
I would be disappointed if we get an announcement that Crackdown 3 is getting delayed or canceled. I would be very upset.

Don't waste your time in Halo Reach ranking up commendations or attempting to rank up if you are playing offline, unless you plan to never get Xbox Live for that account. Once an account gets Xbox live again, and the connects to the Reach servers, it resets tour rank and commendations to what they were the last time the account connected to live. The saved account progress that Xbl has trumps your progress. Only finishing campaigns and achievements, and saved files remain the same.
