There is no mission, that I can even remember being good. Heck, I don't even remember any mission at all.
Worst part is, that you have to play through them solo Legendary for an achievement, so it's just:
Kill some enemies -> press buttons -> kill more enemies -> die and respawn -> kill more enemies -> press more buttons -> repeat until mission is done
Sorry, but this mode is the worst mode ever and these achievements are an imposition.

It's much better with teammates. Solo was always for challenge grindingand never much fun. I can join you this afternoon if you're available

Yeah, ODST and Reach Firefight were much better.
Plus they don't even have matchmaking for SO in MCC.
Not like it would work lol.
oh
What's you're point with this?

I smell HaloGAF drama coming. *sniff sniff*
Then I would have to play them twice, because the achievement requires SOLO Legendary. I would rather play them with a coupple people, but 343i is being silly again with these nonsense achievements.
Just look at the other achievements they added. 100 Splatter medals in H2A matchmaking... I mean, what in the actual fuck?
ODST Firefight > Reach Firefight
I played Reach Firefight like once and only for the 1.000.000 point achievement. There was no challenge to it and the maps were terrible.
:lol :lolBiggy is a scrub ass BK.
oh
I'd just like to know what was his point with posting it. He was in disagreement with me in earlier posts discussing Halo...and then he pops that up.

Ground pound is a satisfying flourish.
I just wish I could get more charge kills. I can never get them to follow through for the kill, despite hitting them dead on. They just get pushed back. :/

I almost wish you could choose between unlimited lives and a checkpoint system - if you die somewhere hard to get in Spartan Ops, you can basically say goodbye to whatever you're holding. I also drove the Hog off of the Lich and down a cliff during Seize The Power, expecting a checkpoint to reload me... only to respawn and be short a Hog.
Stay scrub tier as long as you can.
Playing against semi pro tier people can be tiring. Some real fun close high level games.... but sometimes you just wanna dong.
Also LOL at snipers spawning every 30 seconds jesus sounds like a disaster. I want more stuff to control on the map also, but the short spawn times are just dumb.
Pretty sure I'm still holding the sniper I picked up after 30 seconds with quite a bit more shots in it.
I think 2 minutes is the minimum time for stuff to respawn. I thought controlling stuff in Reach/3 worked well and those were on 3 minute timers I think.

So did the MCC patch add a killcam to Halo 2 Anny? Because last night there totally was one.

It's "supposed" to be in by default but doesn't show up due to the myriad of other technical problems at play iirc.

What? Oh god I think there are like 2 missions you can actually fail if you dont defend the cores enough and you need at least another guy to distract them on the second generator.
Trifecta.
Someone posted it some where else last night, I found it funny. It tells me to never bother arguing with you, even if you have evolved past that caveman at a keyboard you displayed there. You still think CE is the one and only game to draw from when evolving a new Halo, showcasing that you think your opinion is fact. So...no reason to bother!
Hat trick.
Getting spawn trapped by Knights and Crawlers with Snipers in one Spartan Ops mission and getting Spawn trapped by Elites with Fuel Rod Guns and Concussion Rifles in an other one.

Playing SpOps in the first place
Hope 343 revamp all that. It was super underwhelming.

Can't help it. Gotta get all achievements, because I have nothing else to do.
Did you see these?
Also I think we might be getting time of day finally (based on the interview with one of the 343 dudes when they mentioned "new lighting"). Not weather effects though. That'll come when H6 drops.

It was worth it for the Eva Helmet reward.

SpOps was much better as it went, and they stopped re-using maps. A better option would be to bring firefight back, and let users customize it to make their own scenarios. Then 343 could do some officially scenarios and tie some story around it with cutscenes or something.
I'm only really intent about 100% games with the Halo series, really. I've put my 20 hours in boosting General... on the plus side I made a lot of friends to stave off the boredom.
Spartan Ops is pretty much the same as I remember it. Some good, some bad, mostly just a lot of repetition until the last few chapters. Simply cutting down the missions for each episode to maybe just 3 would probably have resulted in a better product.
I'm still hopeful for a return to episodic story content, with an increased focus on replay value. Limited lives, scoring, et al.
Didn't they also mention palette swapping? If you can change pieces from generic -> human -> Covenant -> Forerunner, even if only on a map-by-map global basis, that'd be an awesome addition.
For what game?

EVA is one of the worst helms though. >_>
They did mention pallets yeah.
I don't remember if he said there would be a lot but there is a focus on them at the least.

It was the last and hardest item to unlock in that time. It needed to have all the Halo Achievements, Halo Wars incluyed. I probably didnt care but I like the EVA helmet so much I did it.

I buy this Xbox One headset adapter so I can plug my mic into the adapter and my headset into the PC (through which my Xbox One sound is piped). Turns out it doesn't work that way, it only takes headsets that pipe both channels through the same jack. I didn't even know that existed, for fuck's sake. Now I'm stuck with this useless piece of hardware unless I go buy even more adapter cables. That's just ridiculous.
So sorry...I look at things from a completely different view than you do. You don't like my opinions, so instead of actually discussing, you choose to insult and bring up a damn gif from years ago...
You fail to realize that in pretty much all of my posts of Halo 5, I've said I enjoy the gameplay mechanics and I think the gun play is spot on. For some reason, you think it's wrong of me to say I'm bored in Halo 5 because it doesn't have static spawning power ups and power weapons.
Sorry to disagree with your idea of fun...and while you may not like my idea of fun, it is fun to me to time and control powerups and power weapons in Halo, which is why I enjoy Halo CE the most because it gives me that feeling of Quake 3, which in my opinion is one of the best designed FPS games of all time.
I don't play shit games just because their new...I actually need to enjoy them.

BR/AR start is great.
I'll never understand, why they can't just make chat work via USB...
Why do I have make my controller three times bigger, than it is already? What's the point of it, because it certainly isn't functional/practical?
There's nothing to discuss, your viewpoint is on a very narrow CE path with little to no room for deviation from that formula.
You're the one that started spouting off about people conforming because they actually enjoy the game.
Dude...I said ONE thing that was missing from Halo 5, and that's static timed powerups and a better diversity of power weapons and that's narrow?
What the game really needs...is a Boltshot.
