Halo 5 has gone gold

super-heated plasma said:
I traded in my refurbed console for the new halo 5 bundle with a promotion that EB games has on where you get an extra $60 in trade in value. I cant wait to get it. I've never had a special edition console before. Plus I get all the physical goodies(minus the statue) and a digital version of the game just like I wanted. My only regret is having to miss the Battlefront Beta. :(

What did you end up having to spend?

Congrats

How much did they give you for the console?

EDIT: Never mind just saw the trade in value is 175.00, but I couldn't find the promotion you were talking about on the site.
 
Congrats to 343. Halo 5 is moving up my radar especially with the Forge news. I'm still not sure whether I'll pick this up in a few weeks, but I'm definitely optimistic about it.
 
I am so bummed Halo is my favorite franchise and 5 looks insane. But I only have a PS4 and can't afford an xbox one just for Halo. I need to ask around and see if I can borrow an xbox from someone

Who would be foolish enough to give up their box during this holiday gaming season? Good luck brother.
 
One of my friends has an xbox and ps4 and doesn't like the xbox at all, plus he's always working. I might ask him but I doubt he'll let me physically take it away for a week

You know what I'm over? Lockout. Fuck that map. It sucks, and it always has. Turns into a BR camping fest right off the bat.

It's just been remade or used a bit too much. Still plays great. I would be okay with a reimagining of it with the new mechanics of H5. Something that is maybe 70% direct Lockout with the rest changed to add different modes of attack, different areas to hold, maybe breaking up the long sight lines, adding areas to ground and pound, clamber.

But yeah, because of H5 and what Frank has said before, old maps will be tough to remake now because of unlimited sprint, thrust, ground pound, clamber etc.
 
15 missions sounds good. I think that is the same as Halo 2.
I just hope they can nail the story. So far, everything I have seen/heard looks good though, and this seems to be a much more mature game made by a much more mature team.

I always thought that Halo 4 was impressive for what it was.....343 was in a state of constant growth throughout it's entire development, and Halo 4 was their first game as a studio, so I would imagine that Halo 5 will be much improved.

Anyways, congratz frankie & rest of 343. I anticipate trying the game out when it releases on Oct 27th.

Hope there's some remakes in the BTB maps.

I'm just hoping BTB is more then 16 players. I can see why there is a current limitation of 16 for customs (because you will only be playing on Arena maps until BTB and Forge release). A minimum of 24 players is required, I believe anyway (although 32 would be better).

Edit: Don't know if this has been posted, but IGN has a 7:24 Q&A with 343i (Kevin Franklin). Haven't seen it yet, so I don't know what questions are asked and answered: http://www.ign.com/videos/2015/10/0...=Xbox One&utm_content=5&utm_campaign=Blogroll

He answered a couple of interesting questions.

Omg, you are right. I enjoyed it for one flag shenanigans in h2, but yeah, shitty ping fest map. Definitely my least favorite popular halo map. By a landslide.

Sanctuary I'm just sick of. It's a good map though.

I like the H2A version of the map because it's got icicles.
 
Cautiously optimistic. If it gets good scores and a good reception from users I'll jump right in. I need a reason to fire up the Xbox.
 
Never played a halo game. Always been ps through and through but I'm very interested in seeing how this game plays.

I may get an xbox one and play though them all

You can bet they will put some collectables in these higher places, should be fun.

There's that and stuff with breakable pieces from the shoulder charge and ground pound. There's a few videos on Youtube that show you how to get the skull on the mission Blue Team and it demonstrates how they can hide stuff with both clamber and the ground pound needed to get to it.
 
Halo is my favorite franchise as well. I am really excited for Halo 5 and don't fully know what to expect. I can remember every single Halo game launching and me being excited though. Well all except the original that is, I didn't get into that until like 6 months after launch.

I'm going to the midnight launch at Best Buy and have the 27th off so I can not wait to relive my childhood once again.

After Half Life they are the best fps games on console. Now that MCC works you absolutely should.

BR starts ruined Lockout... Ruined everything for me honestly... Made just about every map a BR camp fest... You couldn't move, and since everyone already had the best weapon on the map, there was no reason to move anyway...

I loved the map at H2 launch though,

I'm so glad that the pistol is now a valid starting weapon... We'll have proper map movement again!

I still can't believe the 21 launching maps # - it's good stuff.

How many of those maps have we seen thus far?
Click to expand...

Yeah I'm wondering if we've seen all the arena maps or if there's some surprises in there. Maybe its possible to count what we know and work it out.
