I played some Forge on PC tonight and I didn't encounter any issues other than the game not backing out properly after one match. Everything else was silky smooth.
Was a nice change of pace but man everyone on pc is just shit still. Not many actually fun matches.

Too many people just fuck around and not set up actual matches. Kinda gets old fast.

Nah dude, played some "CE" btb, fiesta, gun game, h2/h3 remake matches. Everything was a fun, real gametype, just no real challenges.

Getting worse!
You can see when mine starts by looking at my recharging shield meter.

At least yours has a reason ("Player left"). These ones that happen for literally no reason are somehow more annoying.
EDIT: Please do your part to stop GAF-on-GAF violence!

Does the pack include ALL of the classic helmets?
Yes. As in all the ones they announced,
Yup, that was the main point of my post, which I somehow omitted!
Apparently it'll award the HCS stuff though first, but I already had all of those.

Here is a clearer in-game screenshot I just made, I didn't even notice it up close until you mentioned it.
I don't want to say it's embarrassing because that would totally happen to me as well if I was a game developer.

Hmm, 150K RP for 9 Legendary Arena XP boosts is too steep, though.
Now, if they were Warzone boosts, I'd spend my 2.5 million RP on them. Fast track to SR 152!
Not yet. They just updated some maps with the new Team Arena settings.
they weren't there in the preview image

I'm up to 103,000 so close :/Still have some little time to grind. I have saved 75k
The thing is that it's clearly supposed to be there because the sides of the lights are modeled and textured, but not the front face. So that means that had to have missed it.
I'll pile that in with the other graphical glitches no one seemed to give a shit about. The Halo CE pistol reload animation is broken, the Halo CE pistol menu stance animation is broken, and the Arclight's charging animation is still broken, so I don't think we'll ever get those fixed.

Haha, yeah, I have... 57K. That's what I get for spending my 10K as soon as I get it, all the time.
Ok, I laughed a little at this HW2 ad:

I think they fixed the CE pistol stance? It no longer has the arm-popping that it used to have for a period of time.

Yeah me too. Need to save up a lot.
I counted up how much I have spent on REQ packs since launch, and it was over $107 not counting the actual game and original warzone REQ pack. I didn't buy the voices pack and I won't spend another dime, but this was easily more than I wanted to spend. I am sure others here probably spent 2 or 3 times what I did. So it seems like the REQ system was profitable for them no?
I've spent $35, including the Voices of War pack, which when you compare its pure cost when compared to the arena pack or whatever it was called that I bought, was an insanely better value.
How much they've actually made off it though is hard to say since we don't know how much it costs in art/programming resources, nor do we have any idea of intangible factorshow many people aren't willing to touch Halo 5 because they're so micro-transaction averse?

I bet the req system made this one of the most profitable halos of all despite the declining sales.
Which is why I'm surprised at how many technical issue have cropped up and persisted over time. Its extremely counter productive when you've got a system that can encourage players to repeatedly spend.
I've never seen a game degrade like this.
I'm also suprised that there havent been more digital promotions (sales, free weekends, trials)... would help with req revenue.

Yeah, I can dig it.
All I bought was the Voices pack and I think maybe some stuff with credit, but I'm always on the low end of these things purchase wise. I gotta imagine that just through whales and dedicated Achilles teams they've picked up a pretty penny.

So for how long is this helmet pack gonna be available? I was under the impression that it would stay up, but now I'm worried I'll have to start hoarding like crazy (I'm at 5k RP lol) to get it in time...
