Add splitscreen, elite and firefight/spartan ops

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I heard that Guardians wont come with splitscreen, so we cant invite friends, 343 took away elites, so there are none of those and there’s no game modes for firefight or spartan ops. I recently pre-ordered the game, but now because of this, in addition to the fact that there’s no physical copy of the game in the limited collectors edition, which is $250, i’m thinking of canceling my order.

So what they want me to do is pay $250 dollars for a huge box with a steel book that’s just papers in it, and even when we use those papers to download a game that will probably take up lots of storage, which we didn’t want, because if we wanted to use storage for a game, we would have downloaded it, but we didn’t want to. So after we have paid $250 for a box with just papers, and then downloaded the game, we cant tell our friends to come and play because there’s no splitscreen. And no elites either.

Why did I buy this

You have to install the games on the Xbox HDD anyway…So…How does having a disc save you room? Also I don’t think you understand the point of the LCE. If you just want the disc and don’t care about the extra stuff then get the regular edition. That comes with a disc.

The LCE doesn’t have a disk so you can pre-install it a week early. The LCE ships early so you can have it before launch. And its way more than just papers.

Your title says you want all kinds of new modes…And yet you talk…About none of them except splitscreen.

The game takes up the exact same amount of storage space whether it’s physical or digital, so that part just doesn’t make any sense. There are no less than 10,000 other threads all complaining about the lack of split screen and playable Elites that you could have posted in.

Besides, the LCE is a waste of money unless you really want that statue. The LE has everything else for $150 less. And if you just want the digital content, go with the Digital Deluxe for $90. Oh, but wait. You didn’t want digital because it would eat up your storage space, unlike a physical copy. Darn.

If we all have to download games anyway, whats the point of having disc?

Special people gonna be special. I got the LCE because I want it. And I wont even be able to use it for…2ish years haha. Have to have that shipped to the States while I get myself the digital download. Ah well. I just like Halo too much.

Wait, then why cant we play it without the disk? Oh, that’s right. Also theres no Elites, firefight or splitscreen.

Indeed what is the point of having the disc? And I am pretty sure that you do download the full thing.

It sucks that there’s no split screen. That just sucks.

But my favorite Halo game doesn’t have playable Elites or Firefight and that hasn’t stopped me from playing it routinely for the past 12 years (CE). Also, have you seen Warzone? It looks awesome. Every weapon, 24 player PVP + PVE … it’s like if BTB & Firefight fused into one massive bloodbath. I’m really excited about it.

It’s a new game. It has new features. They don’t have to include everything from every previous Halo in it, otherwise it’d either get too big or we’d just be playing the same recycled stuff over and over because no one will allow them to add anything new. Try out the new stuff, give it a shot.

They are new in the sense that they are not currently in the game.
Also theres a whole section of the community trying to get those added. You’d have better luck posting in those threads.

Well yeah, but it isnt on disc like every other, and it looks like a copy of destiny

There are versions of this game that will be on disc. Only the LCE will not be. You can still purchase physical copies.
And if you think this looks like Destiny you need your eyes checked.

To clear something up about disc vs. digital here:

Installing from disc, as noted above, takes up the same amount of space as it does doing a digital download - you don’t gain or lose any space by chosing one over the other. The difference between the 2 is the license check to see whether you own the content or not. If you have a disc, the disc is required to validate your copy. Digital downloads come with their own check. If you install from disc it doesn’t actually download anything else (that i’m aware of), it just pulls the files off and installs.

Elites or More Elites
Splitscreen
Disks in the LCE
Those are all on the first page.

Edit: Holy crap trying to get these links to be in a colum is a -Yoink-.

I know how to solve your problem. Cancel the pre-order. Problem solved!

What, Warzone? Because of bosses? Destiny didn’t invent bosses. Plus I don’t think you can run around in Destiny fighting AI & other players at the same time.

Get the other edition if you need the disc so bad. Or don’t get it at all if you don’t want to. The digital copy and the disc are the exact same data. Both have to be fully installed on the console to run. The only difference is, you have to put the disc in to serve as a key of sorts to tell the system to play the game. If you ever lose the disc, you’re out of luck and have to pay for a new one. I can bounce between the MCC & Halo 5 without getting off my lazy bum because I’ll have digital copies of both. And if my Xbox or external hard drive ever dies and needs replaced, I can reinstall the game for free without the disc.

So to answer your question from earlier, the point of having the disc is to … have a disc. You realize that only the four main campaigns are on the MCC disc, right? All the matchmaking and ODST and Spartan Ops all have to be downloaded and installed just like the digital version. The disc is pretty much just there for collectors. Collectors like to collect physical things, regardless of their purpose.

I’m actually with you on most of these things: I do think the collector’s edition needs to have a physical disc, since it’s a collectible. I do think there should be split screen. And I do think there should be playable Elites. I just don’t think you should write off Warzone just because it isn’t firefight or Spartan Ops. It’s okay to try new things.

And we’ll have Reach’s & ODST’s Firefight on the Xbox One as soon as backwards compatibility rolls out. You’ll be able to play them with folks who are playing on their 360’s since they use the same servers. And you can play as Elites in Reach.

The way I see it, we’re going to have every Halo game on the Xbox One soon, so let Halo 5 try something new and be excited about it since we can still play all the other stuff as well. I like Halo to evolve and do new things, not just keep rolling out with the same old horde mode every single game. That’d get redundant & stale after awhile.

There’s literally threads for all these issues. Use those vs make a new one please.
