nah
depends who ya ask, hasn't been broke for me in a long time but other people seem to still have issues
Nope, it still randomly crashes, co-op still has a downgraded netcode in Halo 2 and Halo 3 and the dedicated servers are spotty at best.

I omitted any that can be earned in solo play, but I'll happily work on all of those if you're interested.
Diagonal aiming in Halo 3 is still broken. Curiously though, that's not the case in ODST.
Master Chief Collection: give up hope, all ye who download.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.

Ugh I cant wait. Really glad they chose Urban for a Firefight map, nighttime is always more fun.

Man, I really love some of these new colors schemes. I was never a fan of the Promethean Knight model, but I love this.

If there's one thing I like about promethians it's how they look, same with the weapons
Stream is at 11pm Central European time.
Kinda disappointed by only 8 achievements for 250GS. Should be a lot more. Why doesn't it have par time and score for every level, instead of just one? The Firefight ones are also kinda lame.
Not sure what they have, but Forge Team always has some good stuff. Looking forward to that.

FORGE!

I'd like some surprises
Like a good competitive version of Assualt
Or rather the opening of the obj gametype flood gates

i know this update is HUGE, but im really hoping we FINALLY get some form of weekly/daily challenges or something, or maybe some news on where that file browser is.
MCC was one of the biggest scams this generation. I think they got off too easy; way too easy.
Trying to forget that garbage.

Yeah, we can do that. Im a little occupied atm, but when have time
Stream is an hour early?
Rather the achievements be simple to polish off and mostly just time-based (like Halo 5's) versus fiddly luck-based ones or requiring punishing slogs (hello, LASO.)

When match making in this game decides to shit on you, it doesn't hold back. I was pushing my way to Diamond 1 yesterday, only to get a really bad string with quitters and Silvers(wut?) on my team. At one point, I dropped down to Platinum 3 after being close to Diamond 1. Seriously, if somebody quits, my rank shouldn't move after taking the L, or hell give us a forfeit option if half the team or more quits. Multiple times it was 4v2 fighting it out, trying not to die too much because the quit penalty is huge.
It is a huge plus that 343i didn't add other horrible MP achievements like 100 Splatters and 250 Killsjoys. But getting par time and score would make people want to play the campaign a little more and it wouldn't be as bad as LASO for example.
Anyways, still better than nothing.

Dead tired and minutes away from passing out, but I played a few games after getting off my night shift. Had enough req points to open a gold pack and it gives me to warthog vehicle certs... I now have all 28 or however many there are in the game. Extremely annoyed at how long the game is making me wait to unlock some more weapon certs. I wonder if 343 realizes or minds thay they have effectively locked away a bunch of content (reqs) from the player population. If console games were relevant for more than a year on average it would be different. But here we are going on one year and I'm still grinding out reqs and i feel like i have been fairly deducated to the req grind. I habw no H2BR and lots of stuff still to unlock. For someone just picking up the game they're never gonna get everything unlocked before halo 6 comes out. Needs to be a better way to get the items you want. Not just pay more money. I like the idea of being able to spend large amounts of req points on specific items. Needs to be a thing.

im hoping halo 6 has a mix of this system. Most of the content locked behind reqs is fine, but let me spend the reqs ive earned to unlock a few specific ones please.
Also, im hoping were gonna get a bigger variety of packs to buy from. even just a "reload" pack containing only single use items would be nice for warzone
Yeah well a similar thing happened to me the other day. I was knocking on the door to diamond 1 and went on a rediculous losing streak brought on by matching multiple teams of 4. Ended up plat 2 I think.
Switched over to Warzone and kept matching teams of 12.
It was horrible
sounds like 5

Huh, I didn't see that one. I must have been thinking of one of the two other times teammates fucked up our flag run.
~60K-70K if my math is correct. Depending on if you get an emblem in the 3rd slot of your pack or not.
nice, I have 75k right now.
Did they announce the prices for the skin packs yet? Def. going to buy the CLG one

I havent played in a month or so. Its good though because I needed the break. I have 400k ready for tomorrow and Im pretty excited for it. However, Im not looking forward to the update size. Im guessing its going to be at least 10 GB.

It turns out the same in the end, right? Unless you are done with gold packs, saving now for the update has no benefit over continuing to buy gold packs when you can and then dropping back to silver once the update drops. You will get to the same place in the same amount of time.

But it's more fun to get the shiny new stuff first
There are 13 Uncommon/Rare items. 2 of them are Emblems.
So 35K if you never get an Emblem in the 3rd Spot.
Danke.
Really miss the Gravemind H4-style weapon pointers for Infection. No idea where all the pistols or spare shotguns are.
Not when you're still trying to unlock Vale's helmetBut it's more fun to get the shiny new stuff first
I've given up on getting Mk IV or Buck's helmet any time soon. I got my DMR quickly, and this is my penance.

All the kill commendations are finally at the 5/5 level. It'll still be awhile though to progress through that level for some of the harder commendations.
