- The BR is a snoozefest and I dislike using it at mid to long range; I'd rather have a 2x zoom single shot weapon
- So much damn B L O O M on some of these maps
- While Forge maps are great and steadily improving, they can't function as a replacement to dev-made BTB maps
- And would it hurt to try Pistol starts, at least as a couple of gametypes thrown into rotation?? Jesus..

WHY THE HELL ISN'T AVALANCHE IN ROTATION? 343 WHAT ARE YOU DOING

I'd agree that all forged BTB leaves much to be desired. I'd rather have real BTB maps over Warzone.
this is the correct answer

Combine BTB and Warzone imo. Have some gametypes that make sense for 12v12, some great for 8v8, others great for 6v6

EDIT:
I use it sparingly just to remind people that once it happens, I'm the main reason why this franchise is back on track. Who the hell else ever talks about that? No one, that's who! Just like no one spoke about AR/Pistol starts from 2004-2015 until 343 listened to my personal emails, hand-written letters and PM's, proving it can be done right. So you can all thank me for less BR's. You're welcome.

Little OT, but I made some danger zone tiles in UE4 for blocks that instakill you on contact. I had originally tried doing the same thing in H5's Forge a long time ago, but due to performance hitches I had to use grids instead.
Damn Donald, slow your roll.

Framerate fixed yet?
I've only noticed drops in the old maps thus far
I slogged through at least half a dozen ga.es and didn't see a single new map. Got recurve 3 times in a row, then remembered I like to play for fun and extermination is going away, so I played that instead.
Why is 343 so slow to at least try new settings like brb pistol starts?
Also, had some HORRIFIC frame drops behind one of the Valhalla based. I got the drop on the enemy then shut the bed when it turned into a stuttering mess and got corpse jumped by a kid thinking he outplayed me :/
Edit: so many autocorrect fails. Sorry
You'd think they'd be weighted really high right now. Luckily I only got 1 old map (Valhalla) during my last play through. Framerate blew

26 gig update for Halo Wars 2?? Wut, why? Lol

ya me too, was 26 gigs for an update

I'm guessing it's pre installing dlc before you unlock it? Cuz that's an absurd amount for an update.
Yeah the leader DLC packs in the store are only 10-15MB. Even if you don't buy the DLC you're going to be playing against people who do so you still need it.

Yeah, my internet was running slow the other day and I couldn't figure out why. Then I realized HW 2 was downloading in the background. No notification or anything, it just does it. I said fuck that and uninstalled it. I really don't understand why 343i games are always so fucking bloated when it comes to the size. It's a RTS ffs. Whatever, I'm playing DoW 3 anyways. It's a better game and it'll have somewhat of a community unlike HW 2.
GOOD! He deserves a lot for building an amazing forge mode. Hope he hears loud and clear about new and returning gametypes.
Yeah. Maybe the Matchmaking Team will finally be as awesome as the Forge Team.

Anyone have constant server issues, as well as profile sync issues? It's been like this since last night for me.
Extermination is one of the most fun playlists Halo 5 has to offer, BTW. Loving the map design as well.

Yes, this is happening to me as well. Typical for halo 5. It often hangs for ~30 sec sometimes after games or backing out of a lobby.
But like, halo 5 mp would automatically pause all downloads right? I had a particularly shitty evening of lag and noticed the update downloading afterwards.
Uhh is this why (requested) changes are being made finally? Tom French for President 2020

Halo 6 multiplayer has the potential to be damn amazing if they improve upon Halo 5. And with Tom at the helm let's hope we'll see that same greatness applied elsewhere as it was for Forge.

No sprint, no Spartan charge, increased movement speed, classic scopes, thruster and ground pound retained.

And Good Aiming, and I hope you mean no spartan charge as well?

Counteroffer: no sprint or Spartan charge, increased movement speed, classic scopes on some guns but not all (anything with a scope is clean zoom, anything without is Smart Scope, no spread reduction on most autos), yes on thruster and ground pound.

Agreed, this is what I had in mind with smart scope, it will be entirely aesthetic essentially. If it wasn't clear I meant no spartan charge. Clamber is fine, it helps you stay alive if you use it right, but it's easy to kill someone clambering too. That being said, clamber could be removed and I'd be fine with it.
I'm mot so much worried about aiming in Halo 6 as it works in Halo 5: Forge. It seems like they know the issue too, so hopefully nothing like that will happen.

I'd like them to keep clamber but make it so that it can be done when facing in any direction (ie: you can be facing away from the ledge and still clamber up). It makes vertical movement so much smoother.
Good.
Pack it up.

Same.
"Please play Halo 2?"
What a bitchy response.
Off to a good start 343...oh wait.
I know what you're saying, but I honestly think it would be fine if they shrunk the "window" of time you can clamber something. It should just be tweaked to be super precise, imo. Maybe make it to where it has to be in front of you, and you have to be practically humping it. People can pretty much clamber sideways with how it works at the moment. I think shrinking the window, and maybe putting it on a cooldown similar to thruster would help. If its paired with no sprint and increase jump height, then crouch jumping would still be just as viable. You could string crouch jumping and clamber together for other skill jumps as well.
