Yup, we will use this for Halo 5 complains, Company progress, and all that jazz.

Disconnects are still ongoing, at least once per session. In fact it appears to be the first FF game of each night's session that drops. My Internet has no issues on other devices or games etc.

Oh and this sucks balls when you get your Halo party going...
How about some menu UI fuckery to go with the above?

That's... odd. Explains the game mode with Mantis though
Just started. Three forty three studios. This guy gets it
probably has something to do with it being a biped
You also can't Weld it in Forge mode. Hell, you can't even flip it on it's head in Forge mode.

From the CU:
This update will address a few issues but the primary focus is fixing bugs related to Forge.
Welp, guess the majority of issues that keep many of us from matching/loading/not-crashing aren't getting fixed...

I hope at least this means they have a fix for the framerate issues.
And those new AR skins look dope:
Alas, they are rewarded via getting highlighted in the community updates and playing with a 343 employee during a designated community playdate, so the chance of getting them are slim to none which completely sucks and totally destroys my 100% skin collection...

I'm sure there will be some glitched REQ pack to unlock it soon enough.I hope at least this means they have a fix for the framerate issues.

There is only one thing I want in this game. Right now anyway.
Is there a way to get the Halo Wars armor without REQs or was that a one time special event? Please. I neeeed it.

You see it's funny because people generally can't hold their breath for very long
Mk IV? It was never in any special REQ pack, you just gotta' RNG for it.
But why would you want it when there's Mark V now?

I assume that will mean substantial armor design changes, then, because without the colored undersuits a lot of the 343-designed armor would look really weird.

Yeah. As much as I like the removal of the space diaper in many instances, given how much generally sleeker the Spartan-IV armor looks if you removed the color on the undersuit they'd look pretty skeletal.
That's kind of what I figured - then again it'd still be neat to be able to swap the player biped with the Mantis's biped, but lord knows what that would actually end up doing. I remember doing biped swaps in CE and finding out that the marines can't travel on diagonals and silly stuff like that.
Shit, it's been a while, I might go back to that. I always used to replace all of the Marines on every map with other Spartans. That was always a fun time.
Hmm. Well, ideally, we'd be able to to get at least two teams of 4 boosting in Action Sack. We were getting 50+ splatters or vehicle kills per game on Alpine race and the Ghost race. So let's say we get two teams of four, and we each get like two of each game in a night, and we play like three nights a week. That's 600+ of each of those perk week, we'd be done with splatters in no time and would greatly expedite ground vehicle kills. However, Marines are still the most daunting task.
Assuming people are fine playing more Warzone once the other stuff is done it shouldn't be too bad. I've been playing more sitting on top of garages and sniping enemies when they appear (it's also hilarious how much it confuses enemies sometimes) and waiting for the respawn, and it's definitely pretty fast to get 20+ kills a match. The main obstacle going in solo is there's no one to watch your back for enemy vehicles and the like.

Like Fyre said with it being a biped, it's got a lot of mechanical restrictions in place to avoid it breaking as opposed to a "regular" physics asset like a vehicle.
That begs the question, though: if you boost a Chopper into a Mantis, it'll blow up the xbox, right?

Okay HaloGAF explain this, what did the Icarus armor do that would freak 343i out like this?

iirc it doesn't fire off the Thruster VFX / SFX (the little particle effects on the player's back) like all the other suits do. It may affect some of the other effects too, like the thrusters present while sprinting.

So just no sound effects and visual effects coming from the suit, is that right? I guess I can see that an a competitive edge but not by much. did the suit do anything else?

Yeah, our group has been using Icarus for weeks now. When you stabilize there is no in-game indicator that you are doing as such while wearing Icarus. This means you can get around the map more sneakily and quietly without detection.
It's a pretty big deal on Arena maps or during any close-mid range engagements.
Yeah, like I said, it's a pretty big deal. Effective map movement and situational awareness are key at anything but the lowest tiers of play and Icarus provides a big advantage.
No, it's just a bug that let users be more stealthy than everyone else.
I'd say it's a big deal, as skilled players do rely on sound.
They're going to patch it, right? Or is this going to be a Warzone Party thing where they just kindly ask you not to use it?
Also, remember that if you're using Icarus it doesn't show your secondary weapon on your back or your hip, instead rendering it at the model's origin between your feet.

Eh, I hope so, but doubt it. This *may* be an upgrade for them if predev was a negative influence on the team as I've heard (communication and/or attitude) or ogre2's style is a better fit, but overall, I'd say Devon is a better player. I'd even add there are a few players on am teams (not including splyce or allegiance) that would be better than ogre2.
But yeah, I hope so. I'm rocking the e.g. skins again to support.
Out of curosity, with how volatile halo team rosters are, how do they split dlc team pack $$$? Like my e.g. purchase, did that go to the team when the pack launched, wass purchased, or all players involved since it released?
