Here is a quick comparison of the Mark V helmet



I really don't like the new design on Halo 5 it looks very different to the others
*sigh* all this time for this , what do you think guys do you like the redesign?
The armour looks fine but I hate the helmet.

uuuuugh, I waited all this time for it, and it doesn't even look good. ;_;
I would've been totally fine with a straight port of the H4 version.

Well, it'll probably be mythic anyway, so it's not like I'll ever get it anyway...

Isn't this the Mark IV, not the Mark V?

In any case, as the least attractive of the classic Halo armors, I'm fine with it.

But I can see the differences. The 'sides' of helmet on the right and left of the visor are thicker, and the visor itself doesn't extent as far forward towards the edge of the 'mouth' as in previous versions.

Why is there a radar in arena breakout?

I'm very impressed. I look forward to seeing talented forgers do their thing.

Eh, not a fan of that... That's part of the fun with Breakout. Maybe because the maps are bigger? But still... Stalemates and such are solved by the flag.

Halo 3 is the GOAT Mark V armor.

It looks pretty similar to the OG low-poly CE version, I guess. Got that squared off mouth area.

Probably should have followed the H3 design guideline, that's what people were actually asking for.

 

[Welfare]

Not liking the Halo 5 Mark V. Below the visor protrudes too much.

 

[blamite]

CE-era Chief was wearing MK V. H5G's new armor perm is Mk IV, which has only really been seen in super high-res on the Spartans in Halo Wars and (I think) on the cover of the Fall of Reach reissue.

Mk IV is the one coming in the December update. The one on the image you quoted is Mk V, from a preview of the January update.

No this is the Mark IV from Halo Wars

and this is the Mark IV from Halo 5

Hm yeah I wanted something like the Halo 3 version. Dang.

Currently, this value defaults to 3. For Halo 5's launch, we made the Look Acceleration a tad faster than it has been in past games and the Halo 5 Multiplayer Beta. This was done in part to help you make large aim corrections a bit faster (for example, if someone is attacking you from behind it allows you to more quickly do a 180). If you would like the Look Acceleration to match the Multiplayer Beta, use a setting of 2 here.

Oh, good idea to give us the beta setting.

It doesn't look like the original Halo CE helmet at all, at least not for me, in fact if that was the case I would be very happy but sadly that is not the case

 

[The Antitype]

If we get a Needle Rifle complete with the option to go for the headshot OR super combine, all is forgiven 343i.

Well, not all. But a lot.

Oh, didn't realize they had already revealed Mk V for January. Whoops.

FORGE GIFS

Object panning

'Paint' Selection Tool

Terrain Projecting

Base Duplication

Mass Colour Swap (On group)

Mass Colour Swap (Per item type on group)

Magnet Snaps

Glass Tints

Man Cannon Adjusting

Easily Recognisable Volumes

Light Projection

New lights

Wouldn't say no to a few forge gifs, the map copy and paste and changing the entire colour of the base was huge.

Knock yourself out

Okay I'm really loving Arena Breakout, can we please have this permanently 343?

 

[Shrennin]

Arena Breakout needs to let teams switch sides though.

 

[curiouscharles]

holy hell people it's not mark V please stop whining!

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

holy hell people it's not mark V please stop whining!

Yes it is the december update will bring the Mark IV helmet and armour next week and the January update will bring the "Mark V"

 

[Glass]

You the real mvp.

Wonder how many pieces we saw altogether in the stream, bearing in mind theres 1700 in total.

 

[link1201]

The more I see this the more I like it lol. Hope we get some other silly designs in January not just these two.

 

[buddha0991]

Arena Breakout really is much more entertaining than Breakout to me.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Arena Breakout really is much more entertaining than Breakout to me.

Played my first match, and yes I like it a lot more than normal breakout.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Anyone wanna team in Breakout Arena? I'm consistently getting bad teams.

 

[TCKaos]

Have they posted any of the stream anywhere yet? I missed it.

I heard something about Blood Gulch, Mark V and the Needle Rifle and I need an explanation.

 

[Tawpgun]

Umm Halo 1 pistol please

 

[Plywood]

I'll take a 31 inch master chief lol

Hah!

Theater is buggy as hell in Halo 5 compared to other Halo titles. After every 2 rounds, it shifts what player is the focus. You can't change to a player's perspective that is dead. If you rewind while the clip is still playing, there's a high chance it goes to a black screen and no UI elements will go on top of it. The UI element telling you what player you were following is tied to the outlines, not to the playback controls. There is no time scrubber. When you quit a Theater game, it sends you back to the Solo Campaign menu. The Theater lobby is unlike any other menu section in that when you select an individual film, it automatically starts playing it instead of selecting it and then hitting the play button. There's a Play Film button at the bottom of the lobby, but it only plays the last film that you played, it doesn't pull from Recent Films all the time.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

I keep getting friggen Diamonds cause I have no good players to play with this shit is infuriating.

January update has a kind of off looking version of Mk V helmet and armor, an alternate Carbine that shoots needles (shown on an Arena map), a super American eagle AR skin, and a wolf pistol skin. Not sure where the Blood Gulch part comes from, nothing particularly Gulchy was in the clip they showed.

 

[Fata1moose]

:lol I just had a Breakout game on Regret where I couldn't kill anyone so I was just pushing flags. There's something about Regret where I can not play well, I usually go negative on that map and can't finish for the life of me. People seem to be able to run away far too easily, such short sightlines. Anyway, the whole match I had been taking the flag the front and bottom door. So on the final round I decided to take the trap door instead, their team was guarding the front and I just walked up behind them. I think one of their players went AFK, so it's not as funny, but still pretty great seeing three other Spartans oblivious.

Umm Halo 1 pistol please

It's coming on a future update

Play with me more often playboy.

That Carbine is cool. I hope they call it the needle rifle.

me too, lost my last two games because of it and I was on a winning streak...

wanna team up? GT: dark silver89

 

[Fata1moose]

Pretty disappointed with how Mk. V turned out, that bottom portion of the helmet looks bad. It's especially disappointing as it wasn't there at launch and then they butcher it. The armor looks alright, I guess I'll go Mk V armor + Mk IV helmet. Blood Gulch in an update is going to be bad. Map will have so much cross mapping with the Halo 5 BR range, it's going to play like shit. Valhalla has a similar problem, but it's just people cross mapping on the hill.

Also this pistol showed up on my Req list and I haven't seen it in any community updates, though we did see it pre-release.

Also, can we pull Rig from everything? Map is too small for anything more than 4 players. Even without respawns it still devolves into the 2 areas of the map.

 

[DarthWalden]

Did they say anything about quitters on the stream?

 

[Samurai G0SU]

I liked how overgrown looked. I wanna play in the water.

I like the Rig, I also think it has a pretty good flow to it, Strongholds is the only mode where power positions get nailed down, otherwise there's multiple locations you can kill people from.

 

[Glass]

As I'm seeing more objects in forge pop up from arena maps (the prophet hologram from truth, signs etc) I'm wondering what else we've already seen that could be a forge item. I'd LOVE posters decals like these, would add so much to town/city type maps like Guillotine.

Also the billboards on Plaza look a lot like the giant yellow Warthog billboard from Guillotine, hope that's another one.

 

[TCKaos]

I'll need to get used to the helmet, but otherwise the Mark V looks more or less like a liberal interpretation of the original game geometry. It kinda' looks like a Joyride Halo CE figure.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Yea add DefendTheCasual. Need diamond/onyx dudes friends.

 

[Karl2177]

Why does this happen?

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Why does this happen?

A problem with the dedicated servers?

 

[Fahzgoolin]

Make Arena Breakout a 10 round match, 5 round half, first to 6 rounds and I'll pay the crap outta this game.

I love it. Might be the most fun I have had in the game.

 

[Nori Chan]

Yo, I'm loving these daily req packs. They just gave me like 5 arena/warzone rp/xp cards.

I need those man!

 

[curiouscharles]

Why does this happen?

been like this all night for me - LEMME SPEND RP DAMNIT

 

[Strider]

I definitely feel the biggest flaw with arena breakout at the moment is that the teams do not swap sides at any point. Would make the game type more balanced...

I really enjoyed the games I played today though. Liked it Enough that I wouldn't mind if it replaced breakout in Team Arena instead of just removing the breakout type from the playlist altogether.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Daily req packs??? I didnt hear that in the stream.

Tell me morree

 

[xxjuicesxx]

I can photoshop fake errors too!

 

[Strider]

So the daily packs give you a small number of req points + boosts (that give you an incentive to keep playing for even more req points)...? I like it.
