Update/blog wise, is the second Friday of the month when we get the new REQ tease? Main thing has got to be the CE pistol right? That new pose from the Arena pack, when SPNKr dropped it had a pose to go with it too.

Curious as well. When do all these new game types drop as well? So excited for Assault, Fiesta and Grifball!

They should bring back Gungoose CTF
1.0


GUNGOOSE CTF CAPTURE THE ENEMY FLAG ON A GUNGOOSE!

God I hated Gungoose from MCC. Every time I played BTB in MCC it got picked.

I heard they are going to be using a updated version of spec mode for the NA regional's. So maybe the update will drop before the 19th.

They already used different versions of the game on LAN.
UK regionals used the February build 2 weeks ( I think) before it dropped, so that means nothing..

What are the chances that if the main body of Halo 5 post-development ends in June, we'll see a Halo 5 Complete Edition for Windows 10?

I mean, the possibilities for E3 are LIT right now.

Hmm, I think they will keep Halo 5 as exclusive to Xbox.
If that happens and has cross play, I may sell the xbox

Forgot to post it, but my friends found out how to survive stuck grenades. Seems to only work, when you get stuck from the front, though.

All you need to do is Thrust into a wall, when it's about to explode. That way, the Grenade will actually explode in the wall and won't damage you. It also works with walking into a wall and Spartan Charge, but the timing is really really difficult on the SC.

Here is a short video: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/AkaiGAF/video/14695265

It doesn't appear to work on all walls and the possibility that you pull this off in a game, is kinda low. Try it out before it gets patched, though.

Has any got into an Oni Mantis? I did a few days ago. I didn't realize you could lock on to infantry as well as vehicles. It was great fun until I got greedy and got boarded :(

Oh I got this thing too, it any good?

It's okay, but it's main point is that it deals damage to armored targets rather than bouncing. In Warzone by the point people are pulling out heavy vehicles you'll have better reqs, so I guess except for Warzone bosses it's not the better choice. The Hailstorm is a better Needler variant and it's available at REQ level 3, one lower than the Talon. I go for that one every time.

Wouldn't be surprised. We found it that way, too.



Yeah, the one time I got it, I had 56 kills in Warzone. Lost the game by 3 points, too. :(
Click to expand...
The game I used it I had the most kills 30 ish and I killed the Warden and we still lost by 200 points. :/ lol some games are just meant to be losses.

I started searching for a Warzone Assault Match, decided to use a Rare Warzone RP Boost, matchmaking decided to throw me into a losing match with only 30 seconds left to capture the garage, I then got spawn killed and then the game decided not to record stats.... I hate 343i crappy Join In progress shit. I should be bale to disable JIP for myself.

Thank you 343i for making me waste another RP Boost.

People have shrugged off stickies in the past, that must be what causes it. 343 pls fix.

Hi people.
Sorry to jump in suddenly with this but me and many other players are experiencing very long searching times finding a game, especially in BTB this leads to the "not enough players in this playlist" error.
In other playlists situation is better because probably they are more populated.
All this started right after the February servers tweak made by 343, before that it took seconds (not minutes with random timeouts) to find match.
Anyone else noticed that?
I also red that this is affecting principally people outside USA.

Best regards.

Where are you from?

I'm from Europe and I noticed this after 1am during the week, but since the tweak they made I don't have laggy games, so I prefer how the servers are now. At least I know I'm playing with Europeans.

Doesn't boost just give you a set amount anyway?

I'm from Italy. Yeah on the connection side things are better now but it's also so much frustrating when in day peak time (I usually play after 9:00 PM) it takes 10 minutes to find a BTB match (if it finds one because as I said many times it shows the not sufficient players error)
It must be a server issue, I cannot believe that there aren't 16 players available on evening in a playlist such BTB.

I can find BTB matches at that hour and I'm from Portugal. I don't know what's happening to you, but I'll try to find a match today to see what happens.

I can find them too but with all the explained difficulties...
I really cannot explain that. It seems not a regular behaviour but certainly started with February servers tweaks.
