What is Reddit's opinion of
Halo?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
I'm in the top 1% of Halo 3... with over a year and a half of in game time. I've played over 13,000 ranked matches. I'm no longer proud of it.
Here's slight proof. Just this account's worth of play time. I had 9 accounts. https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-3/xbox-360/service-records/players/tangyaffliction

This is Clogged Toilet by Littlemonk5. It is a classic minigame that has been in every Halo game since Halo 3 and has been remade once again for Halo 5 (with a quite impressive face lift). What happens is that the humans have to survive for 2 minutes while the zombies come up from the toilet and try to infect them. It might seem that it's simple to survive but once a few people get infected it's next to impossible to hold off the zombies coming from the toilet. It's a ton a fun and you should definitely give it a try if you own Halo 5.
Hey all, thanks for putting this together. We are aware of and are investigating all current issues and working around the clock to deliver fixes. We've deployed a server side update which should begin to improve Matchmaking. Additionally, please keep an eye on this thread: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/85d779d52cfd46918b4f8b638f2e3c7b/topics/the-master-chief-collection-bug-investigation/e024f78f-6022-4a49-99ea-67562ec5b4ca/posts for official updates. Thanks for all of the feedback, and sincere apologies for the issues. As stated above, issuing fixes, especially updates to Matchmaking, are our top priority.
Hey everyone. If you're seeing any lag similar to this and are able to assist with some info, please consider posting to this thread, where we're tracking this issue with the below info, as we have network engineers combing (insert Spaceballs GIF here) this thread to determine exactly what's occurring here and what types of changes can be made to improve.
Here's the info that our guys are looking for, if you're able to provide:
- What region are you located in?
- How often are you experiencing this? (every game, every other game?)
- Does this happen multiple times per game?
- Description of your experience (Warping, delayed registration, walking into walls, etc.)
- Xbox DVR / YouTube / Twitch VoD / etc is extremely helpful
- Make / model of your router
- Firmware version of your router
- ISP & Bandwidth speeds (Up / Down)
Posting in the above thread is the best way to compile this info to make sure it's all in the same place. Thanks all.
That guy was the only player left, so we gave him a few memorable moments; the one-stick-troc, a Killionaire with only assassinations, and one hell of a dance party in the middle of the map.
Edit: Apparently, you can see the videos on his XboxDVR.
Hey all! We're hanging out today on Waypoint, twitter, and reddit and standing by. We hope we don't hear from you, because that means you're playing and enjoying. But if you do find anything that needs attention, drop us a line! <3 Patch notes here
Hey friends! This one is indeed the real deal. You can read more details about the update here -- we'll be hangin' here on reddit as well as Waypoint and Twitter all day. Let us know if you run into anything unexpected, anything you enjoy, and everything in between! See you online!
Hey Reddit! I made this video and directly collaborated with the forger of this map by giving him tips following extensive testing. FYI, we tried adding a snitch by welding a weapon (Rockets) to some scripted wings that would fly around the map, but there were many issues. If y'all wanna try this out in game, feel free to add me! My gamertag is Hipoppotamus.

Here's another Halo 5 custom map by the same creator, Hugabear. I present Halo Beer Pong - https://youtu.be/5CGwJjKUeC8

- Title of next Halo game: Halo: Guardians
- Title of the prequel mini series to the next Halo Game: Halo: Nightfall (https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/halo-channel/shows/halo-nightfall/season-1)
- And now revealed that Halo 5 has a "Fireteam Osiris" in it.
At minimum it's a nod and wink at each other's games...I'm actually surprised that Microsoft and/or Activision wouldn't have squashed this. Mayhap the game designers slid it by?

Hey everyone! The update is live, and full patch notes are here. Holiday Doubles and Holiday Social will run through the holidays (1/4), at which point we'll take a look at their population, game types, etc, to determine what happens to both of them moving forward. In whichever form they return, the goal is to add new content to them over time. Does "social" become one with Action Sack, with wacky game types, or do those stay separate, and social becomes sort of a "Team Training" from H2? What type of cool stuff can we do with Doubles that hasn't been done before? Thinking out loud once again, but these are all conversations that are underway now.
Hope you enjoy, and let us know if you have any questions about anything you see in the update!
The money that people put into these packs are paying for both the free dlc maps and the prize money for the halo championship series.

Hey friends! Patch notes are here, and we'll be hanging out all day to make sure things are all good. u/Unyshek will be playing Infection and continuing to rack up obscene multi-kills until someone stops him. Please.
Also, some have pointed out, but we've got some improvements in the value of Gold and Silver pack in this update too - details just above patch notes!

This is Moby Dick by CaptainDireWolf. The map’s real name is Moby D since using the word “dick” in a map title is a big no no for 343. What happens is that the Alpha infected drives the giant whale around the map swallowing up all of the humans. The humans have to survive in their row boats avoiding the whale at all costs. If the whale swallows you then you become infected and turn into a shark which can flip over the human’s row boats and make it easier for the whale to get them. There are 4 rounds which are each 2 minutes long, the round ends if the whales swallows everyone or if time runs out. It’s a ton of fun so go give it a download. Don't forget to rate and comment on the video!
Hey all,
We've got additional info coming ASAP, but the recent decrease in experience quality is unfortunately due to an Xbox Live services issue, which has put Xbox services into a "Limited" state since 6:47:24 PM CST. We are working alongside this team to get the latest info. We'll have additional info posted in the official thread shortly: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/85d779d52cfd46918b4f8b638f2e3c7b/topics/the-master-chief-collection-bug-investigation/e024f78f-6022-4a49-99ea-67562ec5b4ca/posts
Morning guys and gals. We'll be hanging here throughout the day today ensuring that everything rolls out smoothly. There's a good amount of extra updates & fixes inside this update - for full patch notes, see the bottom of this page.
As Uny said, all REQs will be fully rolled out to all players by 2PM PT - there's a good chance you can grab 'em beforehand as they're already starting to populate, but if you don't wanna risk it, wait until the safe time.

edit:
and here is the relevant information to OP
It’s important to us that everyone enjoys their experiences in Arena play. To maintain the quality of the Arena experience and sanctity of competition, a number of rules are in place for all Arena playlists. Halo 5: Guardians is engineered to detect and track the following behavior:
Quitting matches
Betrayals or team killing
Idling (AFK)
Intentional suicides
Excessive disconnects
If you repeatedly engage in negative behaviors such as the ones listed above, you will receive a ban and be prevented from entering matchmaking. The duration of each ban is dependent on the offense and becomes more severe with each successive infraction, so continually killing your teammates to steal the Sniper Rifle will quickly lead to long timeouts from matchmade play.
The map is called Bug Zapper and it was made by Littlemonk5

So the game is still following right where Halo Wars left off. You can hear them say Douglas - 42 is down. Funny the Waypoint image for Douglas is just a sloppy looking retouch of a Blur render. Spartan model

This is Crane Party by DekoysShadow. The map is basically just a bunch of crates connected to cranes that sway back and forth. The creator of the map originally had custom weapons on the map that were really OP so the map wasn’t very fun. I had to make my own game type for this map which is essentially Fiesta with a few tweaks. That made the map so much better. If you have a power weapon like the SPNKr or Incineration Cannon you can shoot the crates to make them sway differently which can thwart the enemy team’s movement. It’s a lot of fun so give it a download.

This is Bongo Bongo by CaptainDireWolf. The map is based off the Bongo Bongo boss battle in the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. When you spawn in on the map you drop down into the boss area and immediately start. There are 4 sets of hands attempting to push you off the map and you must destroy the red barrels on them in order to win. After a while the people that died trying to shoot the hands will spawn as zombies and try to stop you from winning. If you destroy all of the barrels then Bongo Bongo will become vulnerable by sprouting barrels on his face. If you are able to destroy the barrels on his face then he will die and you will be transported to the Chamber of the Sages, congratulations you won. It's really hard to win on this map but if you are able to memorize the pattern of the hands and are able to avoid the zombies trying to kill you then you might have a chance.
For people experiencing this issue (myself included), the lag is only happening with Halo 5- all other multiplayer games work absolutely fine. I guess the reasoning basically is that if all other games work fine, there are no connection issues (mine is 30/4, 0% packet loss, NAT is open, 1480 MTU), having TWC tech come out to take a look at it with no avail, and swapping hardware (3 modems and 2 routers) doesn't fix it the issue is most likely on the developer's end (or they could at least know something about why this is happening only with their game that could shed some light on it). TWC has even released a statement acknowledging the problem saying they believe the issue lies on Microsoft/343i's end, not theirs. And that does have to be taken with a grain of salt because I know TWC never fails to cover it's own ass but, with 343i neglecting the posts about it all over Halo related forums, it just kind of leaves us with nothing else to go off of.
Here's a link to one of the many threads with people complaining about the issue:

Extremely good points. Halo has always been a relatively simple shooter that rewards those who learn how it works. It's the reason the original trilogy was so popular.
There was a post at Halo Waypoint addressing many of the problems H5 has that need to be fixed in order to be successful as not just a Halo game, but a AAA game as well if 343 is hoping for any replay value and longevity in their game. I feel like your post elaborates further on some of the points eman182 presented:

This is Hungry Hungry Hippos by Littlemonk5. The goal of the game is to feed your team’s hippo 25 balls before the other three teams do. There are glass walls near the hippos that show you have many balls each team has feed their hippo. You have a Gravity Hammer and a Rocket Launcher to help you move the balls but I think that just meleeing them works much better since it’s easier to control where they go. It’s a very fun map with a full lobby so give it a download.
Thanks for the report, /u/Yeaimdubh!

Might not be until late spring but you never know. I think they'll probably be motivated to get it out as soon as possible.
From last friday's update: "We’ll be monitoring feedback and data over the weekend, and will provide an update on Monday regarding our progress."
If you bought the game digitally you could always contact Xbox support and request a refund. It's worked for some.

Cortana is described as being unique and powerful for a smart AI. This is likely because her personality was imprinted from a copy of Dr. Halsey's brain. Despite being a third generation smart AI, not even many of the fourth and fifth generation AIs could match her capabilities. The only smart AI that seems to have a superior ability is Black-Box, who was upgraded with a Forerunner communications system that allowed him to spread his working processes across interstellar distances.

It's a lot better than the last time you played it, but still a ways off from where I have come to expect a Halo game to perform. That is at least my own opinion. There will be an update before the end of the month that addresses many "game breaking" issues and I would personally suggest you wait for that to release.

According to a recent Canon Fodder article, private companies are developing their own super soldier programs...which has all sorts implications.

People are acting like this is unprecedented. Call of Duty actually has a F2P game in China, and all it is a re skinned MW2 with some maps from other games in the series. It's not some horrible evil plot by 343i to 'ruin the franchise', something this sub seems to think is their goal, but just Microsoft saying "Hey, we're gonna pay some other dev to port this to PC. We're gonna make it F2P since the piracy levels in Russia are insane and no one would pay for it anyway. If it goes over well, maybe we'll bring it to other regions,". I know someone is going to say "But it says 343i was INVOLVED! They were doing this and not fixing MCC!". 343i are the curators of the franchise. They have to, at least to an extent, approve these things.
EDIT: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/halo-online-closed-beta-launching-in-russia Before you rage, why not read 343i's announcement? The whole 'Russian exclusive' thing is just a beta before moving the game into other markets.

This is Beer Pong by TurbTastic. It’s like real life Beer Pong but instead of throwing a ball you are the ball. Your team must drive into all of your cups before the other team does. Every time someone lands in a cup it disappears. When all the cups are gone the round is over and the winning team gets a point, first team to get three points win. If you download and play on this map my suggestion to you is to not drive at full speed because you’ll overshoot the cups every time, you have to control your speed.

The latest blog touches upon why Doubles (and other playlists) weren't permanent at launch, and also that we've heard feedback on playlists like SWAT and Doubles loud and clear - that you like them a lot, and you want them to stay.
This next community blog will touch on a bit more details, but spoiler: While we don't have an exact date yet, Doubles will return, with improved voting variety, and will be a permanent addition.
Or a comment about the lag issue. Apparently it'd be too much of a black eye to even acknowledge it.

Im ok with that. Its gameplay that I want and Halo has it.
That's not even a real leak :P These are just small info booklets. You can also find them in some Gamestop stores.
Everything sounds great though :)
It's just a freaking info booklet that is available in many Gamestop stores. And that's from a few days ago ... It's just info material for press and retailers. This guy just got one of these, prints his watermarks on it - and that's it. Stop trying to make a mountain out of a dust speck.
Something that's a little interesting in this week's accompanying Canon Fodder is part of the flavor text for the Stinger armor: "Developed in conjunction with the AV-49 Attack VTOL".
The Hornet has the designation of AV-14. Two Halo Wars aircraft include the AV-22 Sparrowhawk and the AV-30 Kestrel. (The Falcon is designated UH-144 for those wondering; not sure why it's not part of the AV family)
I bet the AV-49 is a new UNSC aircraft in Halo Wars 2. I'd prefer a new UNSC aircraft for Halo 5, but I feel that's the less likely possibility.
The problem is half the people aren't actually quitting, they're disconnecting from the game due to a weird lag issue that many people have been having and 343 continue to ignore and not address.

When you spawn in on the map you drop down into the boss area and immediately start. There are 4 sets of hands attempting to push you off the map and you must destroy the red barrels on them in order to win. After a while the people that died trying to shoot the hands will spawn as zombies and try to stop you from winning. If you destroy all of the barrels then Bongo Bongo will become vulnerable by sprouting barrels on his face. If you are able to destroy the barrels on his face then he will die and you will be transported to the Chamber of the Sages, congratulations you won. It's really hard to win on this map but if you are able to memorize the pattern of the hands and are able to avoid the zombies trying to kill you then you might have a chance.
Bots, but I'm on mobile and can't find the citation. I'm 90% sure it was a demi-recent canon fodder.
Got it:
>Q, Are the marines featured in the Warzone gametype real humans learning how to fight alongside superior soldier (Spartans) or are they AI simulations just like the Covenant/Prometheans?
>- USS Galactica
>A: The UNSC Marines that assist the Spartan fireteams in the Warzone scenarios are AI-driven components of the simulation, and are not live participants of the training, both practically and fictionally.
From this canon fodder
My advice: don't even try. :(
Until you see a post on the Halo Waypoint site that says "we deployed fixes on the back end and a patch and it's all TOTALLY FIXED NOW FOR EVERYONE YOU GUYS," just don't even try.
I realize that's a non-solution. That doesn't fix the problem, and you paid good money for a game that doesn't work (or at least, not the very big part of it you care about). But the alternative is to keep trying things that don't work, and get increasingly frustrated and angry that it's not working.
Is it unacceptable that it didn't work worth a damn at launch? Yes. That they couldn't roll out a fix more quickly? Sure... I mean tracking down these problems and fixing them isn't a flip of a switch. It's not plugging in some more routers or whatever. It often requires writing, testing, and deploying code, which doesn't happen in an hour. But everyone saying they took your money and didn't deliver what they took your money for is totally right.
But you can't fix that. You can only reduce your frustration by not repeatedly trying to use something that doesn't work.
Here's a much cleaner breakdown of all promotional REQ packs.
Learned a lot from this list!
Well, looks like 1 out of every 10 people who are supposed to be able to play ODST can play it, me and most others are having to re-install the big ODST patch, we have been doing it for hours. Not pleasant at all. So you're not missing out on much right now.
Look at the poll.

Systematically erased in Operation: OFFSCREEN.
Joking aside, I would want them to just go out like badasses, unlike most of the Spartans that died in Halo Legends or Black Team. Will and Kurt had some of the best deaths of Halo.

Finally. Bungie did a great job with adapting forge to console controllers but a map editor is just going to be better with a mouse and keyboard. I'm guessing you have to already own the game for it to be of any use though.

I think it would be really cool if we could get a PIP type screen. The large image is our dead body, but the PIP shows the kill.
edit: added post to waypoint
For those wondering, yes the wheel spins. However, in my Alpine version I used timing scripts, so it was a bit jumpy at times. I'm currently working on a new method that will hopefully make it a lot smoother!
And also, yes the drop bridge works just as it did in the 3 previous Halo versions, the gate opens via a switch in the base, and there are destructible window covers in the main base :)
You can get the Alpine version of my map now if you haven't already. It is called "Turbine". https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-5-guardians/xbox-one/map-variants?lastModifiedFilter=Everything&sortOrder=BookmarkCount&page=1&gamertag=xXBarthXx#ugc_halo-5-guardians_xbox-one_mapvariant_xXBarthXx_d1c92304-f17f-4348-ad00-...

This is Crane Party by DekoysShadow. The map is basically just a bunch of crates connected to cranes that sway back and forth. The creator of the map originally had custom weapons on the map that were really OP so the map wasn’t very fun. I had to make my own game type for this map which is essentially Fiesta with a few tweaks. That made the map so much better. If you have a power weapon like the SPNKr or Incineration Cannon you can shoot the crates to make them sway differently which can thwart the enemy team’s movement. It’s a lot of fun so give it a download.

"Hey everyone, you can get the map here !
Alternatively you can add me on Xbox, my gamertag is Scootiee and look for the map "Spartan Mart."
There are two gamemodes for this map, the ball mode seen here or there is an FFA slayer mode. "
Honestly, I really don't understand how this is fun. There's a few people with 1000 plus games with 80% or more win rate, and all of the games look like this. For example, look at this guy, 2336 wins out of 2342 games What's the point? Why play 10 hours a day steamrolling the other team? It's no challenge, it can't be satisfying. You're going to spend more time looking for games, waiting in the pregame lobby, listening to Palmer, than you will actually playing the game. You're rolling 12 deep against 12 randoms, and slaughtering them in 4 mins. That'd be like winning a pick up game of football because you're an organized team of NFL players, vsing high schoolers, and winning before the end of the first quarter because you killed the other team.
Call me crazy, but I like close games. I like having to fight for the bases. I like trying to counter capture armories, trying to flank boss kills.
To each his own.
They said it was the campaign only. There is a FAQ on Waypoint.
> Does “Halo 3: ODST” include the full game (including Firefight)?
> Our focus is re-mastering the campaign from “Halo 3: ODST,” including it within “Halo: The Master Chief Collection,” and ensuring it delivers a great experience on Xbox One in 1080p and 60fps. We do not currently have plans to include Firefight.
I'm also working on a little tool that makes it easy to create stuff like this.
Only word we have post Kilo-5 is from this Canon Fodder
>EightWalk326413: As of 2558, where is Naomi-010? Is she serving with the Spartan branch?
>A: As of 2558, Spartan-II Naomi-010 is still enlisted and serving, however, the details of her current deployment remain classified.
That's pretty much it.
heres the direct link for the map. i'd recommend editing it into the post for the others coming in fresh. I cant wait to try this out. thanks for putting in the work, guardian.
Sorry if this was confirmed elsewhere but it looks like there is ~~some~~ A TON of new info on the Halo Wars 2 page.
https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-wars-2
> Brought to life through detailed in-game graphics and the cinematic artistry of Blur Studio, the story of Halo Wars 2 dives straight into the chaotic state of the Halo universe directly after the events of Halo 5: Guardians.
Blur cinematic hype!

I'm one of these people. Am I quitting because i'm losing? No. Am I quitting because other people have quit? No. 80% of my games end in me being disconnected from the servers, sometimes it takes less than a minute and other times it can happen after 15 minutes of LAG FREE gameplay. I've lost ranks, legendary/ultra rare xp/rp boosts, and honestly I've lost patience. Don't get me wrong I LOVE this game which is why i've continued to(attempt to) play multiplayer.
There are so many threads on the waypoint about this issue with no response, see the largest one here
Please 343i, I love your game but just can't play it :( this afternoon has been particularly bad as i've played 8 games, a mixture of warzone and arena and have yet to complete a single one. There was even one BTB Lobby I was disconnected from THREE times throughout the duration of just one game.
Disclaimer: I'm not with TWC, infact, i'm on the otherside of the globe in New Zealand.
Apparently it's because it's an extension of Arena, not Warzone.
Sandbox remake by my friend Joe, the map we were playing was a remake of a map we made back in h3 named Sand Wars 2.
On occasion, players may not see their Post-Game-Carnage-Report. If this occurs, you need not worry as your XP and RP earnings are still being tracked and logged for your account. To see your progress, please perform a hard reset on your Xbox One. After the hard reset, this issue should be resolved, and all of your earnings should correctly be applied to your account.
Additionally, if you’d like to verify from a computer or mobile device, you can verify that the XP and RP should be correctly reflected in your HaloWaypoint.com Service Record.

"Derpy Turtle HD Will there be any UNSC aircraft that we can use?
Warzone features Pelicans in intro to the mode but there will be no pilotable UNSC aircraft in the mode at launch."
