What do certs and Mods do?

Certs give you more of the weapons in that category.
For example a shotgun cert.
Mods are like one time use, faster reload, better radar etc.

Just finished campaign a couple of hours ago...
That being said, the actual gameplay in this is the greatest in the series, and the campaign itself was incredibly fun to actually play.
Honestly, I have no idea what they were thinking with the Locke stuff. There's a semblance of an interesting story going on in the game, with the Chief initially setting out to 'rescue' Cortana only to come to the slow realisation that she's nuts. But you don't actually get to see any of that because 80% of the screentime is wasted on the insanely dull Team Osiris who just wander around wondering what's going on.
There's a bit near the end where Osiris catch up with Blue Team and Chief says "She's dangerous. We know." and I was just like, fucking hell, Master Chief realising that would probably have been a really powerful moment if I'd gotten to see it. Shame I was stuck listening to these arseholes make dumb jokes about who's buying the first round instead.

Same. Getting tired of Slayer, 1-Life Slayer, and Territories. Flag is fun but would it have killed them to actually include Oddball or Bomb with a lower weighting.

Diamond 1 in SWAT now. What way does placing even work? And why when I am getting my placement am I coming up against Onyx/Diamond/Champion ranked people?

I noticed some weird acceleration when turning when I first started playing, at sensitivity 5. I switched to 6 and that seemed to smooth things out. Don't know if that's a real fix or workaround, but I didn't notice the problem after that.
I've noticed this and it's fucked me over in so many 1v1 fights. Aiming in the middle of a fight will suddenly go super slow and have what almost seems like negative aim assist. I'll get the first two shots perfect, and then my reticle just doesn't want to go on their head anymore and I get wrecked.

I watched them walk right past them a few times. I think there was no straight sightline to him (he was in one of the aboveground nooks) so the ones that did notice him would get pistoled.
Also "donging". lmfao

My K/D is 1.6, KDA is 7.8 and i went 7-3 for the placement matches and got placed in freakin Gold. Go 343. Thanks for the info Kalentan.
Oh I see. I am more interested in the customization items. Yesterday got an awesome ultra rare stance called "assassination" or something.
I played the multiplayer last night for about 4 hours and the game was fun as hell but I'd be lying to myself if I said the game doesn't look bad. Some of these maps are so barren and uninspired with Pegasus being the worst offender with grass looking like it belongs on the ps2.
In MCC Halo 2, I had to re-complete a finished level, which had somehow ended up with a negative score, before the achievement would pop. Maybe check your scores for each level here, too?

Do you save your REQ points for gold? I feel they are pretty easy to get so I've been saving them for gold.

Same, I didn't know if it was latency because I am Canadian and the "pros" live in Cali with fiber lol, or what. I had to knock aim up to 5 (might try 6 today) just to keep up with moving targets.
Something feels off, do they do the dynamic resolution stuff with pvp too? Maybe it's messing with our x and y aiming?

So I use these REQ cards while playing Warzone right? I keep getting duplicates of the weapons it seems. Just go up to one of the stations and use them?

I got a nifty AR gun with an aiming sight. Is that reusable or can only be used once?
Sniffynose

Yup those are likely special weapons so you only get as many as you have cards for sorta thing. If you hate a certain gun or card you can also sel them for 50-150ish req points too
Because it's halo

right on let's play later!
Yeah but your REQ level increases throughout each match (from 1 to 8), so you can't use the higher-level REQs until the the level is high enough.
Things like weapons are one use thing. You use that card, it's gone. That's why you get duplicates. You can also press Y whilst youre dead to choose a REQ. The stations are for when you want to change or buy something new whilst youre alive.
Another pr0 tip is you can choose where to spawn if you have multiple bases.

Does all Halo Online have Friendly Fire?
wasn't it off in the beta?
Another poster on this page said it's not bad to buy Bronze as it can give you certs, which then allow you to get more stuff in Gold and Silver.
Edit: Oops, this post went onto the next page. Last page, 101.

Ok, could somebody please tell me where the hell the BR spawns on the Blue/Yellow breakout map?
It's not really a mode I have time to go hunting for it.
Pistol is obviously great, but I feel naked at medium-long range without one.

Friendly fire has always been a Halo standard.

Yes because they didn't have a boot/ban system in place.

Yeah im not sure. All i know is when the game is rendering the graphics and im playing or customizing the spartan, it gets louder. When im in the menu it becomes whisper quiet.
I only noticed it when i was playing really late last night and had the volume really low.
i'll check today and see what is going on. It might be due to it being on almost all day and kind of in an enclosed tv stand.. even though the only thing that's on during the day is tv, netflix or youtube. =/
I could be wrong but I think it's off for Warzone. Too much chaos to have it on most likely. It's on for every arena mode tho

Thats good to know. I probably would of shot anything that moved and pissed off team mates
I thought I was the only one experiencing this. Had me feeling like I got out of tune with Halo after some years
It was pretty much 1.0
First 4 games were a breeze, and lost the next 3, won 1 and finally lost 2. That said first 4 were stomps and the rest were pretty close.
Not meant as a 'subtle brag' at all either, there is no way I'm close to Onyx as there were quite a few better people in the games I played
EDIT: Oh sorry you said KDA, not sure, won't be very high(if anything different to my KD?) as I pretty much only played SWAT

Warzone is what I was thinking of playing. (Probably won't get to it till the weekend)
and I don't want to be rude and kill my own teammates but not understanding the "rules"

Funny to hear different people write things like that. Halo for different people means different things. Especially as the series has progressed through it's various styles and now developers. I know my opinions on what "Halo is" differs from others since I've been playing Halo since 2001. Although I'm probably unique in that I've liked all of the Halo games, for different reasons.
After playing Halo 5 for a bit over a day now (MP only), and playing a lot of Halo 1-4 MP on MCC recently, I feel confident in putting this up there near the top of my favorite Halo MP games so far.
Can't comment on the single player yet as I'm still working through all of the campaigns again in MCC (damn my life that gets in way!).

BTB is coming in December. I wonder if Big Team Slayer is coming with it, as well?

I noticed it when using the carbine but not the pistol for some reason.
I played 1 Team Slayer game going 22-6-5, Pistol felt great, but for some reason, it's like I couldn't get the last headshot with carbine, wonder if that's the problem.
lol it's ok 10 outta 13 wins excuses it lmfao
Ah makes sense. Never been a fan of it, but I don't mind.
