I'm going to have to wipe my computer to install Windows 10 Anniversary apparently. The normal update gets stuck at 99% the ISO gets stuck on "checking for updates." Then the media creation tool gets stuck at 48%. It's really silly that Anniversary is a requirement for Halo 5: Forge.
In my experience I just installed and did a "refresh" did this for normal and anniversary updates. Fixes most issues as it just re-installs the OS
EDIT: Also there was a new Windows 10 update today

Eh, I think of it as military utilitarianism by design. Why would you have a bright shiny Warthog on a battlefield or parked at a base etc. To me matte is all over military equipment and vehicles. While aesthetically less pleasing to the eye it's designed that way for practicality.
When I see shiny Covie designs I think they just throw all that to the wind, sort of how they bring a plasma sword and shields to a gun fight. Split lip attention seekers

I just hate how the UNSC's weapons and vehicles have their logo printed on EVERYTHING. The Pelican has the logo on the inside of the door....Why? The Hydra has the UNSC logo printed on the side...Why?

I hate so many other things, like the borked MCC. You should put your hate in that my young padewan. Let it floow through you.
343 art changes I guess mainly its very borderlands esque and really bizarre.

How do you do a refresh? I don't want everything to be uninstalled though which is what that sounds like.

Now that we've had ample time to experience Warzone Firefight, how do you feel about the length of the respawn timers? Would you like them shortened or do you think it's fine how we have it?
Personally, I think 15-20 secs should be the max respawn time. Perhaps only 20 for betrayals, with 15 being Round 3-5. 25-30 seconds feels excessive imo.

Ok, assuming it actually updates itself, that'll be good. *Goes to check computer* 23% right now...
It'd be nice if you could burn some REQ points to spawn in, but other than that I don't really have an issue.

I'd like to see one of two things:
1. the last rounds have a slighter shorter timer, as you say 15-20secs
2. you can choose your respawn location when not in a vehicle
I feel like in round 4 or 5 where it really matters so much of your time is taken in a 30 second respawn then trudging your vehicle all the way across the map, some of them take near 45-60secs to get back to the action e.g. a tank.

Definitely shorter. It's really stupid to punish the player more for dying when it's easiest to die, and when they already probably dropped something valuable.

Thing is, is 343 even listening? I haven't heard a peep from them regarding balancing Firefight.
They do some things well like the free dlc, but other things like complaints they often dont say anything. I wish they just acknowledged whether they were working on something or not. Whats the fucking secrecy??

Ugh yes shorten please, I hate being punished for this games cheap attempts at difficulty (a boltshot sniped me what?!) or a team member being a dickwad especially when I just pulled out a good REQ that I don't have much of (thats controller smashing rage right there).
this, I'm not caring about this update soo much due to it mainly updating a component I don't use (Forge) I just want to know when are they going to start focusing on fixing Firefight's issues. I'd love infection to get some balancing too but I feel thats a lost cause and we haven't heard anything about the objective gametype issue as of late.
Hopefully after this update we can finally start seeing some issues addressed before the next DLC update.

Getting a survival bonus should not add 5 more seconds to your respawn time.

Not being able to choose spawn location is really really stupid. And even for vehicles we should be able to choose as well since most maps have more than one vehicle spawn anyway, plus it could be extremely useful in scenarios like enemies spawning in base, or rounds with powerful air enemies. I mean at least I won't die like this any more.
Also I just found out jumper was banned lol.
I think it'd be neat to have firefight allow you to pick your spawn and also implement a timer that increases the more you die, to a maximum of 20-25 seconds. That way, if you're playing well you don't die too often until the end you get a far better chance to wrap up the game, but poor performance and playing recklessly still has a penalty.
It's essentially an alternative to limiting the number of lives.

Loot crate arrived today unexpectedly, really happy with the Halo Loot and overall quality. The figurines especially are extremely well done, I feel like they're more fun than the legendary H5 statue of Chief and Locke. Can't wait to get the other figurines now.
My son claimed the satchel bag already, imma let him have that one but the Mister Chief plushy stays with me
Yes, on the 6th

Hopefully they don't consider actually putting Overgrowth and Riptide in Team Arena. Those maps should be regulated to social playlists. They're fundamentally broken for competitive play .
Oh they ARE considering it, but it's based on feedback, so hopefully people have voiced the appropriate opinions.
Ofcourse whatever makes it into Team Arena will also be the HCS playlist, and the competitive scene has spoken loudly against.

Even if your at your best this game's difficulty in this mode is cheap, it fluctuates between Heroic to Legendary to WTFHOW?! each round. if you want this idea to happen the difficulty has to be lessened as well.

At the same time sony does their neo thing? Eeesh. Or is that the 7th?
That's on the 7th so they are fine
While the artistic choice is probably up to 343i, they still have to work within the confines of FH3's renderer (not that they can't do metal/gloss).
Maybe the wormhole stripped the wax coating.

This is HaloGaf.
Speaking of ranks, is there any particular reason they got rid of 1-50? I mean doesn't it function almost exactly the same? You rank up when you win, rank down when you lose, and the game tries to match you with people around the same rank as you.
Kind of off-topic, but I'm looking at getting an external HD and I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations. Currently looking at this one. WD My Book 4TB

My first match was all solo vs a full team in Achilles. Off to a great start I see.

We won this time.

Yep, the biggest thing with me is I've hit a wall with improving. You cant learn how to prevent a guy with a SMG/BR wrecking you off spawn because your AR/Pistol is much harder to use, you cant learn how prevent the guy with snipe/rail/scattershot from wrecking your team because its so OP, you cant learn how to deal with people crouching aroudn corners. Theres just no clear way to improve at the level im at. Makes it very discouraging. Then add the awful aiming mechanics, trash maps and bad MM and its MEHHH. If h6 isn't a big improvement, I'm done with halo.
I played 2 times against the same Champions once again on my 1st and 2nd match of the day.

Now I just had someone from 343i go 3-14 on my team. Maybe they are testing their shitty matchmaking.
Ok, I'm done with my salt for now.
Ok, my salt isn't fucking done. I just played the same people four times in a row. FOUR TIMES. Are you seriously trying to tell me there is nobody else for me to play?
New forge map is in slayer. It's pretty, it seems to play ok, I need to play it more

wtf is siege ranking?
It's not exclusive to Halo 5. In MCC a couple weeks ago I faced off against a team of people who were ranked 30 and atleast one 50 when I'm Level 1 in that playlist.
